Sleep Under the Stars at Ivalo (November 2012)

This was another highlight of our trip.
We flew from Helsinki to Ivalo which was in the North and we stayed at Glass Igloo, Kakslauttanen.
When we were about to land and after our plane landed safely, again we were amazed with black and white view.


 
We landed in snow and walked in snow towards the airport.
The airport was small and built from the wood.









After we arrived at the resort, it was almost dark and our room was walking distance from main building. Therefore no other ways then pulling our luggage and walk in the snow.
We were relieved when we arrived at our igloo and it was unexpectedly warm inside.
There was no shower room inside, only toilet and sink to wash up.
We literally slept under the stars.


Since there was located nowhere, we had dinner in the restaurant there before taking local tour for night reindeer safari.
It was really dark in the deep forest and we had campfire there to rest for awhile.
But it's nice experience.








The next day, we took another reindeer safari since we couldn't take any picture last night.
And we had been entertained by local residents at their traditional tent.

It's really one in a lifetime experience and always be part of our beautiful memory.

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

Re-write Phuket Story - Day 1

We took morning flight and reached there around noon time, it's just nice to have lunch there.  When we arrived, the hotel car picked us up from airport and it took around 1 hour to reach hotel. Once we arrived, the receptionist told us that our room got upgraded to ocean view with balcony however they asked us to wait for the housekeeping to prepare the room. We stayed at Fourpoints by Sheraton and I already informed the hotel to decorate the room and provided a complimentary of birthday cake. While waiting, we had lunch at the cafe nearby which is local thai food. We ordered Pad Thai, Green curry chicken and pineapple rice and coconut drink. Feeling full, we checked in and had afternoon nap, it was so good to be able to have nap without any distraction. In the evening, we headed towards city centre and had seafood dinner along the way at Happy Seafood restaurant. Then, we went to Bangla road where the night clubs were and to our surprise, it's really happening there, sexy sho
