Posted on April 4, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

T2 has always been a dare devil. Foolishly fearless. Yup. She'd jump off a cliff if you asked her to. For the fun of it! Whilst in Kota Bharu, the girls each had their size appropriate bicycles (me included, heh! Remember??) But after.......click to learn what next.

Girls Playing Dress Up

Every girl loves dressing up. I certainly had my fair share of dress up sessions from when I was 7 (dressing up my brother, heh!) till I was 14 (dressing up and posing with friends). My girls have started too, and initially they.......click to learn what next.

The Suite at The Danna, Langkawi

Posted on April 2, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Another gripe I have of The Danna is again for their website designed for geniuses only. Seriously, it is NOT a user friendly website. Thankfully for us, we didn't make our own bookings or I would have gone ballistic! There is too much.......click to learn what next.

Sisters Chatting

Posted on April 2, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I love it now that T2 can talk and understand, makes her demands known and throws ideas across. Thank you, Hayley! And I love it when my girls communicate. I find it fascinating, the stuff they chat about. I am so proud to.......click to learn what next.

Posted on April 1, 2012March 11, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Ever since the Fit For 2 Cafe was conceived when I was first 7 months pregnant with T1, we'd been already attending classes at the Mont Kiara International School back in the day. T1 has friends who were still in their Momma's bellies.......click to learn what next.

Shopping Spree with Baby and Me!

Posted on April 1, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Yesterday, baby and I spent a whole 7 hours together at a shopping mall and she did not sleep a wink. You'd think that a little toddler of 2.5 years old would get tired after being awake and stimulated for a few hours.......click to learn what next.

Angel’s Trumpet

Have you ever seen this? We saw this in Chiang Mai and just as someone was about to stand under it to take a photo of it, Aunty Mary shouted out, "Hey! Get away from that!!!" Huh? What's happening? Is there a snake.......click to learn what next.

Bringing a Baby to the Boardroom

Posted on March 29, 2012March 28, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

If you don't know it yet, it is my inherent mission in life to help women in Malaysia with their child care problems. Unfortunately in Malaysia, we hear of babies and kids DYING whilst in the care of others and this is happening.......click to learn what next.

T1’s Human Bolster

Nuff' said. If you're wondering why the mismatched duvet and pillows? You have no idea where my duvets go all over the house being used as camping tents, Harry Potter gowns, canopy roofs......And look! They're not even under the duvet. They hate duvets.......click to learn what next.

My Birthday 2012

Posted on March 28, 2012March 28, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

This year, I had the most understated birthday. I didn't even have a Birthday Cake!!! Yup, T1 kept asking WHY??? Especially when she saw that just the week before, we'd celebrated Uncle Ben's birthday and he had a birthday cake :-) I told.......click to learn what next.

Audio Conferencing on Skype

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Having an international company means having to communicate globally all the time and a cheaper way of doing this is via Skype. However, I really dislike doing this because I like having face to face conversations or non at all. I can do.......click to learn what next.

A Mother Ring is a symbolic ring worn either by Mother or passed on to Child as a memorial bond between the two. T1 has already given me a Mommy Forever necklace from Tous and it is something I treasure close to my.......click to learn what next.

My Little Secret….

Tutti Frutti Craze

Posted on March 26, 2012February 29, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

We must be the last people on Earth to walk into Tutti Frutti in KL. We'd seen it around for yonks but never bothered despite everyone inviting us to go every so often. So finally we took that giant leap into yoghurt heaven........click to learn what next.
