Couple Time - Attending the Wedding (Sep 1, 2018)


Last Saturday, we were invited by our church's friend to witness their marriage sacrament as well as wedding party.
We attended the marriage sacrament in the morning at the church where our marriage sacrament took place 10 years ago. We came with our children.

It was beautiful to witness the sacrament, the marriage vow which at that time we took for granted and by words only. But after 10 years journeying the marriage together, we realized that the vows we made 10 years ago were seem powerful words.

The celebrant father also gave us beautiful homily about marriage. There were three components to build everlasting marriage.
1. The planner : Jesus
2. The worker : Us
3. The materials : Unconditional Love

Sometimes we love to take control the planner's role to head our marriage life which resulted in not so happy ending.
We need to do our role as worker to work on our marriage life according to the planner's.
Because He know what best for us and our marriage.

After that, we left our children at home with my sister and we attended wedding party at one of prominent hotel in the city.
We enjoyed the delicious spread, each other companion and I also had a chance to entertain the bride and groom by joining dancing contest games and I won hahaha...

Story aside, we were so grateful to have each other until now. Witnessing and attending wedding celebration is like reminiscing our memory back to where we began.

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
