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.

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.

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

Pao Addict

Posted on March 27, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

My little T2 loves eating PAO. However, she only likes eating the white of the PAO! Any filling within the pao is either left behind or dumped into DBKL (aka Daddy). Lately though, she's discovered a bloody expensive pao, known as the royal.......click to learn what next.

My Little Secret….

Hi guys, I have a little secret. I'm usually not one for secrets at all because I don't see the point in having them yet I am very good at keeping them because I suck at remembering! Anyway, yesterday I found out some.......click to learn what next.

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.

Training Kids Good Habits

Posted on March 25, 2012March 25, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

One of the jobs of a parent is to teach their kid(s) from complete dependence towards complete independence, and the earlier it is done the better. This does not mean that kids who are independent will no longer need nor want you as.......click to learn what next.

Parking in KL

Posted on March 24, 2012February 29, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

I hate driving in KL and I hate parking even more but when I had to park at THIS parking lot, man, I was sweating. Firstly, the cars go up and down on that metal holey elevator thingy. Secondly, the space width is.......click to learn what next.

The Danna at Langkawi

Posted on March 23, 2012March 22, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

LOTS of photos and this is only Part 1 - HuHu. The first misconception of The Danna is that the resort does not have a beach because their poor website that really doesn't do the resort any justice gives this impression! So allow.......click to learn what next.

Fighting for Kisses

Posted on March 22, 2012February 29, 2012 by Mamapumpkin

Don't you think it quite ridiculous that a Mother has to fight for kisses from her own making? At the rate T2 shares her kisses, you'd think she was tortured mid way to Auschwitz. "T2, can I have a kiss, please? "  "No.".......click to learn what next.
