3 days before....


This coming Thursday, I and my husband will be going for pilgrimage to Holy Land.
We have been praying and fasting since a month plus ago, during the past one month everything is going smooth and well, we plan everything to make sure that we have peace of mind during our pilgrimage trip.
We make sure that everything is under our control.

However, 3 days before our departure, things suddenly go out of control.
We heard this morning that my mom in law who's supposed to come to Singapore tomorrow to take care our children was sick since last night. And from our conversation this evening, she's still not feeling well.

On top of that, I have lots of lists to do, preparing the kids for the test next week when we are not there.

Suddenly, today I was very overwhelmed.

I tried to calm myself down but the brain is like never stop thinking about what I haven't done yet.

Well, from this incident, I think God's telling me to stop thinking and trying to control everything and have a rest in Him.

I know it takes sometime for me to digest, calm down and think for the back up plan.

One thing that I believe is that in every situation I'm having right now, God is with me.
I have prayed and fasted and am sure that He listens to my petition.
I trust that He will heal my mom in law completely and fit to travel tomorrow
I trust Him that He will protect and keep our children safe and in good health
I trust Him that He will protect and keep our parents safe and in good health
I trust Him that this pilgrimage will increase our faith
I trust Mother Mary, all the angels and saints that they will look after us.

Lord, You know my deepest desire and heart, I just surrender everything into Your Hand.
Things that beyond my control
This is me Lord, only faith and hope are left now to let You take control everything.

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
