This morning whilst I was looking at the concert schedule for Lady Gaga next year, T1 came to spy and immediately caught sight of Lady Gaga's picture. She immediately started reading over my shoulder and asked when Lady Gaga was coming to the.......click to learn what next.

Merdeka sentiments

Now that Merdeka Day has come and gone, did the Earth move for you? I remember back in the day when Merdeka Day to me was really a cause for celebration. As a child, I was brought to the Selangor Club to experience.......click to learn what next.

Learning the planets of the solar system

Posted on August 31, 2010August 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

T1 came home this week singing an unfamiliar song to a familiar tune. It is quite clever how her school teaches them to remember by making them learn the facts through songs, since children are naturally predisposed to learning musically and it works!.......click to learn what next.

Diamonds! Diamonds!

Diamonds are a girl's best friend. Do you know what the most expensive diamond in the world is? Many years ago, I only knew of white diamonds. Then, my mother kept talking about yellow diamonds and pink diamonds. Today, I've learned that the.......click to learn what next.

Ben 10 girl

If you knew my girl, you'd know that feminine she is not. She prefers all things boys and cannot stand being in a ballerina tutu, flings Barbies out of windows and would cook High School Musical if she could. She reads Ben 10.......click to learn what next.

Have you ever been there? When they first started, I used to hang out here having breakfast with friends (read T1's friend's moms) as I was always too lazy to drop T1 off at school, go home and then pick her up again.......click to learn what next.

Family Day on a Saturday?

Posted on August 29, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

During the weekends, that is Saturday and Sunday to us in the land of Tees (in Kota Bharu, the weekend is Friday and Saturday, did you know?), T1 spends it with Nana (and Tok-Tok, if he's not working) so the Hubs and I.......click to learn what next.

Swimming Class at School

Posted on August 28, 2010August 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

These pictures below were taken when T1 had first started school this year and I was the ever anxious Mom who had to be at school to check exactly how they conducted their swimming classes and to make sure my 5 year old.......click to learn what next.

Decluttering the home

Posted on August 28, 2010August 28, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

How many times have you bought something that didn't work out? Or subscribed to something that was completely lousy? Or paid for services that you totally regretted? *sigh* Me? Countless times. Most of the time, I cannot be bothered to go back and.......click to learn what next.

My Beautiful Mama…..

Posted on August 27, 2010August 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I was going through some old posts and just HAD to repost this as I was thinking of Mom all day today. Why? Because I cooked up a storm in the kitchen and everything looked impressive (to me la!) but the truth is,.......click to learn what next.

Digi Chairs and Service

Posted on August 25, 2010August 24, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

These are the chairs at the Digi outlet where we did the big crossover. T1 and I loved them chairs because they were stylish, multi-functional and comfortable. Digi really is the telco of the future. T1 said she could use the chair as.......click to learn what next.

Digi or Maxis?

Posted on August 24, 2010August 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

After being with Maxis for the last 13 years, yesterday our entire family moved over to the bright side. If we had moved over to Celcom, I'd have called it the dark side. Sorry, Mr Celcom. The move was fast, simple and painless........click to learn what next.
