Guitar Freak

Posted on July 9, 2012August 29, 2013 by Mamapumpkin

My brother has a hobby and that is playing the guitar. Or should I say..........he collects guitars! Heh. He doesn't just get those cheap guitars either! For someone who isn't Van Halen, I reckon one should get a beginner's guitar such as the Hohner Guitars, don't you think?.......click to learn what next.

Geography at 8

Posted on July 9, 2012July 9, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

T1 is currently having some mid term test in school and so she's spending a teeny weeny bit of time actually studying.

I really need to watch our grocery bill as it is getting excessive. Last month, the Hubs complained that we ate too expensively. It's all that quality food, I tell him! He thinks we should be getting our quality food from elsewhere and he's probably right. Below is.......click to learn what next.

Last year, a good buddy dragged me by the horns to start me on running my 1st 5km run. He was faced with wild protests and wails of negativity but he persisted. Only good friends will and to this I am thankful because today, I have changed my.......click to learn what next.

Kids playing with Stanchions

Posted on July 9, 2012July 9, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Have you noticed how kids just love playing with stanchions? What the heck is a stanchion, you may ask? It's those portable barriers that you see at banks, hotels and shopping malls to keep people in line or keep people beyond a certain barrier? Yeah, those posts with.......click to learn what next.

Making the effort to Dress Up

This was taken whilst we were in a horrific traffic jam in KL from home to hotel on the very day my Aussie cousins arrived in KL. Of course, I made the effort to dress up! I hadn't seen them in 6 months! But because it was taken.......click to learn what next.

Sometimes, I leave the girls with the Hubs and go out for a breather. Every Mom needs that! It's easy for the Hubs because they are generally well behaved with him around and he doesn't give a toss about the finer details in raising children. One day when.......click to learn what next.

Mommy and Baby Day

Posted on July 4, 2012June 25, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

With T1, I had LOADS of Mommy and Baby Days but with T2, hardly any. Poor T2......... Nevertheless, she is still luckier than many, many other kids so she has nothing to complain about. Last week, I brought her out to One Utama for a mission and together,.......click to learn what next.

Thanks to my Nanny, T2 can now write her alphabets, not that it matters because she would have learnt it one fine day anyway. But it's still a nice thing to WOW her with as she gets ever so excited every time she writes an alphabet or draws.......click to learn what next.

English Standard at T1’s School

Posted on June 30, 2012June 20, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I do think that the standard of English at T1's school is sufficient (to my standard) although I have nothing to compare with. I'm assuming they do the same stuff at the other British schools??? Anyone??? This was a piece that the kids had to read, understand and.......click to learn what next.
