HELL, YEAH!!! My big girl came home sick one day after her very responsible father forgot to pack a water bottle for her to school last week. What more, she was the co-emcee for her annual concert and had rehearsals all morning (4.......click to learn what next.

Internet connections back on – FINALLY!!!

Posted on November 6, 2010November 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

After an entire week, I've survived without broadband or any network support whatsoever. We had called and called and complained to no avail because they just couldn't solve the problem! Well, guess what? We had to pull strings to finally get some attention........click to learn what next.

Tiger Kingdom, Chiang Mai

Posted on November 4, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

The Tiger Kingdom is worth a visit (and I hear the monkey school is too, though we haven't visited the monkey school yet. Next trip!) because it is interesting watching and observing these wild animals and how they interact with human beings. No.......click to learn what next.

Cleaning bathroom taps

Posted on November 4, 2010November 4, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Finally, I hired some part-time cleaners to come clean my place without the Hubs approval. I couldn't take it anymore and really felt that if the place was at least clean, I could focus on cooking and playing with the kids. And work,.......click to learn what next.

Back to our Chiang Mai posts *grins* Well, it's 5 years now that I've been traveling to Chiang Mai with kids so I can definitely tell you what to do and what not to do *grins* I wouldn't say that Chiang Mai is.......click to learn what next.

Getting some exercise

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Last Sunday, I kicked everyone out of bed and TWO HOURS LATER, we were walking the park and making a good sweat. I think I shall make this a weekly affair early on a Sunday morning. Sorry, God. Now that the Hubs is.......click to learn what next.

I love my blog!

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Yes, I do! Looking back over the years, my blog documents how I have evolved as a mother, it documents T1's history and all the things she has said and done (and all those cute pictures!), it is such an inspiring piece of.......click to learn what next.

T2’s 1st Birthday

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

T2's 1st birthday was a simple family affair with only the few of us. Mommy really didn't have any energy to organise a full blown birthday party but we had 2 lovely birthday cakes of which I haven't even had time to post.......click to learn what next.

TM Unifi

Well so much for TM Unifi!!! I haven't had internet access since Thursday (almost 6 whole days now!!!) and guess what? Nobody from their team can solve the problem. We have called and called and put on hold with the longest being 15.......click to learn what next.

Recruitment of the right candidate

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

When the Hubs was unemployed, he received many offers from other architectural firms in the market but unfortunately, local architectural firms here pay pittance and there are hardly any more foreign firms in town. His firm was practically the last one standing and.......click to learn what next.

Views from my Yantarasri Resort bedroom window

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I've been feeling rather blah lately. T2's not eating again and wakes several times a night (probably from hunger!) but every time I offer her a bottle of formula or food of any sort, she refuses it. I'm tired. So I leave you.......click to learn what next.

Adopting a child

Posted on October 27, 2010October 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

It has always been a mission of mine to adopt a child. Ever since I was a teenager and oh, please.....it has nothing to do with aspiring to be an Angelina Jolie (although I do like that chick). Unfortunately, when I threw the.......click to learn what next.

Yooohoooo……Where are you???

Posted on October 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

In hibernation, that is. I would like to apologise to those of you who would like to purchase some of my stuff and have queries but I have gone into hibernation. This means, I am not available. I deliver my most sincere apologies........click to learn what next.

Back to the Grind of being an SAHM

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Oh yes, it was short lived, wasn't it? I'm now back to cleaning poop, spending all day trying to get some food into T2's mouth (which is a BITCH) and finding hidden cheerios under my couch and last week's baby bites under the.......click to learn what next.
