Our Love Journey Begin - Courtship Day

We first met sometimes on October 2005 when we were introduced by our friend, Martinus.
It was one of Prayer Group event, Love Night where we played music together for the first time.
He played guitar and I played  keyboard.

There was no first love at first sight though, in fact I even had a crush with his best friend.
However, as time goes by, we often met during Prayer Group event or other church activity, our feeling developed.

There was a time that it's kinda weird and it was fate that we were meant to be together.
He stayed at Choa Chu Kang and took Red MRT Line and I stayed at Chinese Garden and took Green MRT Line but we somehow met together at the same carriage at Jurong East MRT Interchange.
It happened a few times unexpectedly

In short, we officially became a couple on May 10, 2006.
It's was unusual proposal though and it's unplanned....
That time, I just finished worked quite late and he sent me home and stayed at my room for a while.
We chatted and looked at my old photos which I appeared plumper.

And somehow, I didn't know what struck me back  that I had a courage to ask him casually about our relationship status.
He was shocked and so was I...(hahaha)...
Then, he replied that actually he had the same feeling too but he had not had a courage to prop the question asking me to be his girlfriend because he's still in between the job and didn't have steady income yet. He planned to prop the questions 3 months later after he got steady job.

Back then, we were young and not idealists therefore money is not our priority yet, as long as we loved each other.
We had a great time together as a couple. We watched movie almost every Sunday, we travelled to some South East Asia Counties and spent our time together serving God through our Monthly Prayer Group.

We were together as a couple for 2 years plus before we were officially married

Happy Valentine's Day 2023

This year's valentine is special. It's not just any celebration but it's a celebration of victory and marks the beginning of "new adventure". By God's grace and mercy, we reconciled during ME retreat last weekend. We were able to go back to where we were before the incident. I am full of love and able to share everything to hubby again. He becomes my best friend again, and it seems that love conquers all. And another challenge is now about "time". This first quarter is very busy period for me, traveling back and forth to Jakarta for business. Leaving my hubby and the kids behind is not a nice feeling eventhough there's a good thing on the other side of the coin as we are not taking each other for granted. As my gift of love, I want to give my precious time whenever I am available in Singapore to my hubby and the kids, thus in this valentine's day, I curated love coupons that he can redeem. Hopefully, this is something that can help us to comm

New Year Eve 2022

I am planning to hibernate during New Year Eve, sit down and doing some reflections and thinking about New Year resolutions, alas things may not happen according to my plan. I am very tired physically from the Malaysia trip. What I really want to do just sleep in and do nothing but what make me tired mentally is we fight over trivial matters. It started well this morning, we brought the kids out to West Coast for breakfast and strolled in the park. Hubby asked me what will be the plan for today as he wanted to give some year end speeches to the kids. I told him, I had no plan at all as I was very tired. I just wanted to stay at home and rest. He was quiet but I didn't notice it as I was quiet too to reflect what I have done this year and what will be my new year resolutions. When we went home everything was normal, I asked our helper to clean our car and did grocery for next week meals. While waiting the car wash done, I wrote this blog about our Malaysia trip. After she's done

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral w
