Overwhelmed and Exhausted

Posted on April 22, 2014April 22, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

People always ask me, "Actually, why are you always exhausted? What do you do exactly? Ever since I knew you, you are always overwhelmed..." Ha.Ha.Ha. If only they could wear my shoes. I need not justify my busy-ness to anyone and I choose to delve in whatever I.......click to learn what next.

Buying Jewellery

Posted on April 22, 2014October 25, 2018 by Mamapumpkin

Whenever I feel like shopping, the first thing I'd want to go out to buy is clothes and shoes or bags, never jewellery. Why? Because I'm just not that into jewellery! Seriously, I know it's better value for money and everything but I just don't care for it,.......click to learn what next.

Posted on April 22, 2014April 22, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

Gosh. It is our 3rd month Homeschooling in Malaysia - March 2014 already!!! Honestly, I am becoming increasingly slack and dis-bothered about homeschooling my kids. I am too busy with work and house work and they are too busy with playing. The little one is a TV and.......click to learn what next.

G-Shock Watch

Posted on April 19, 2014October 25, 2018 by Mamapumpkin

When I was younger, I'd always wanted a G-shock, a pink one at that because they were tough watches I could just bang around. Never got one. At 5 or 6, T1 wanted a G-shock watch. A green one. Her Uncle Ben went all around town searching for.......click to learn what next.

Talking about Others

Posted on April 19, 2014April 19, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

Where does one draw the line between the good and the bad when it comes to talking about others? For as long as I can remember as a kid, I was already talked about. Why? Because my mother used to be one of the most sexy Moms at.......click to learn what next.

Life without a maid

Posted on April 10, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

Life without a maid has been good and bad. At first, we went through sadness, then shock, then denial and numbness, then we became pro-active and now, we're coping. Yeah.....although the home looks akin to a land fill from Cambodia, the kids are still alive and we have.......click to learn what next.

Children's Book Review: Maxilla by Lianne Ong I am honoured to be doing the book reviews of some local children's authors as I myself wanted to become a children's book author not too long ago.

T1’s HomeSchooling journey in February

Posted on March 8, 2014March 8, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

To be quite honest, T1's homeschooling journey in February has dwindled from homeschooling to unschooling to just pissing about at home. I'm not sure if that is positive or not. Seriously, if you choose to homeschool your child, you really need to be disciplined enough to monitor their.......click to learn what next.

How to Beat Procrastination

Posted on March 1, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

How to beat procrastination? Huh. Hahaha. I am actually the last person in Kuala Lumpur to tell you that because I am sat here at 2.20am in the morning when I started at exactly 10pm with the intention of clearing my desk. But instead of clearing my desk,.......click to learn what next.

Women are Hormonal

Posted on February 27, 2014February 27, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

Women are hormonal. Yes, we are. It isn't our fault. It's just the way God made us. What does that mean though? It means that there are certain times throughout the year where we can flip and go bat shit crazy. We could lose it and throw every.......click to learn what next.

Creating Music

Posted on February 16, 2014October 25, 2018 by Mamapumpkin

Creating music is one of my long lost passions. Yes, really. When I was young, I'd compose music on the piano and make up my own lyrics because I learnt the piano but not till I was 16 did I get to cut my first music on tape.......click to learn what next.

Ferragamo in Pavilion Mall

Posted on February 16, 2014February 16, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

I must say it, the service staff at Ferragamo in Pavilion Mall are impeccable. I went to Ferragamo on the same day at KLCC and they were not as excellent as the staff at Pavilion. The consistency is amazing. And the evidence is that exactly 1.5 years ago,.......click to learn what next.

A wonderful Sunday

Posted on February 16, 2014February 16, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

My version of a wonderful Sunday is when I have no commitments. This means no party to go to, no function, no event, no kids activity, no replacement class, zilch. And today was just one such Sunday.............What a wonderful Sunday it was. We left the home bright and.......click to learn what next.

Addiction to Scramble

Posted on February 15, 2014 by Mamapumpkin

I will admit it. I have an addiction to Scramble. What is Scramble? It is a Word Game on the iPhone where you have to make up words really fast against the clock. 2 minutes. That's all you have. And I play it with my facebook friends of.......click to learn what next.
