Davin Indah Love story

As we are closing to celebrate our 10 years anniversary, it would be nice if we also have some flashback during the past years from just the two of us until five of us in the family

After so many years we celebrated Chinese New Year at Singapore, this year we decided to go back to Jakarta for reunion dinner and Chinese New Year celebration. We were leaving on Wednesday Valentine's Day Feb 14th, 2018 and his parents picked us up. On the eve of chinese new year, we had reunion dinner at Grand Central Restaurant with hubby's family then we visited his grandmother's house and distributed the red packets. The next day while the kids were having afternoon nap, we sneaked out to Central Park mall and had a couple time. We shopped for clothes and had afternoon tea at Waroeng Kopi. On the second day of Chinese New Year, we met my brother's family at Taman Anggrek and had lunch there. And on the third day of Chinese New Year, we had lunch with hubby's old school friends at Central Restaurant. It was a nice feeling gathering with our loved ones and family especially during reunion dinner and chines...

I decided to write about the challenges in our marriage life. There's no happily ever after like fairy tales or perfect marriage portrayed like in the movie. Eventhough we have a good marriage, we still face these challenges until today. 1. Shall or Shall Not Talk In marriage life,  communication is one of the common challenges that every couple experiences. In our case when we feel that our partner doesn't do right or please us, we tend to keep it to ourselves instead of talking about it because either we want to avoid the conflict or create unnecessary argument. We don't want our partner to look at us as a petty person for such trivial matters. But these tendency to keep it to our selves become time bomb that will burst anytime when we couldn't take it anymore. In the end it will create never ending arguments and disagreement and both of us start to defend our position. 2. I expect you to be.... During our courtship, everything was beautiful. We di...

This is just a reflection what we have been doing in the past 10 years when we started everything with nothing until now we were blessed with 3 beautiful children. Hopefully it becomes an inspiration to other family. 1. The Power of Prayer We realized that marriage is no longer between you and me only, but you, me and God therefore we always put God first in our family life. Each of us spends private time with God, he loves to go to Morning mass while I love to pray daily rosary. It gives us the strength to love, forgive and accept each other as Christ loves us. 2. We Love Our Partner above Our Children We always believe that we should love our partner more than we love our children. The best gift and example that we could give to our children is our love. When we love each other, our children also feel the warmth of love, they love us as well as their siblings. 3. Never Argue In Front of The Kids I guess this is also related with our characters. We are m...

Last Saturday we had monthly date and also celebrated Valentine's Day earlier. Originally we planned for Dinner and Movie until the day before he told me that he had Valentine's surprise gift which he owed it to me 10 years ago...proposal ring... So in the evening after we parked our car, we went to one of Jewellery shops to choose the proposal ring, since I didn't know about diamond and when we saw the price was crazy for small diamond ring around S$ 2,000 plus, I told him, it's okay, we looked for swarovski ring instead. After 10 years of marriage with children, we realised that S$ 2,000 plus can use for many things. We went to Takashimaya and saw this little shop called Diamondlite and the shop keeper told us it's diamond imitation but people can't tell unless they use the machine to do a test. And the price was much more cheaper and I could choose the big stone with quarter of the real diamond ring. In the end I chose that and was ver...

This is the beautiful song from The Greatest Showman's soundtrack. The song is about the young man who has nothing in the beginning but he has a big dream and his wife apparently is supporting his dream. I love the bridge lyric " However big, however small    Let me be part of it all    Share your dreams with me    You may be right, you may be wrong    But say that you'll bring me along    to the world you see    to the world that I close my eyes to see " Nevertheless, this song just reminds us how we start 10 years ago when we decided to get married without anything to start with. But we have faith and dream I close my eyes and I can see The world that's waiting up for me That I call my own Through the dark, through the door Through where no one's been before But it feels like home They can say, they can say it all sounds crazy They can say, they can say I've lost my mind I don't care, I don't care, so ...

There's a joke / meme below It leads me to the thinking whether women are always right. Few weeks ago, I and my hubby had an argument. He just started a new job few months ago and like others, he's been adapting and adjusting and just as he was settling down, the senior manager who hired him resigned and it gave a big blow to him because his team was pretty small, only 3 of them and with his manager leaving soon meaning that there's a higher chance that his division will be closed. Well, we have been praying before he accepted this job and we had peace when he took this job but suddenly there's unexpected storm and he started to doubt whether we had made right choice. At first, when I received the news, I was puzzled too, because I have been encouraging him to move on to this new job. But when I offered this through prayer, I had a peace and affirmation that we made the right decision. Instead of looking the negative side, I was able to see the positive side....
