1 Day before...


Yesterday, it was the revelation of what has happened in the past few days.
My mom in law was still sick but recovering better.
I was expecting another drama and only hope one day passes without any surprises.

Then the reading was from Sirach 4 : 11-19
It's like the answer from God about what has happened.

Wisdom teaches her children and gives help to those who seek her.
Whoever loves her loves life, and those who seek her from early morning are filled with joy.
Whoever holds her fast inherit glory, and the Lord blesses the place she enters.
Those who serve her minister to the Holy One ; the Lord loves those who love her.
Those who obey her will judge the nations, and all who listen to her will live secure.
If they remain faithful, they will inherit her ; their descendants will also obtain her.
For at first she will walk with them on tortuous paths ; she will bring fear and dread upon them,
and will torment them by her discipline until she trusts them. and she will test them with her ordinances.
Then she will come straight back to them again and gladden them, and will reveal her secrets to them,
If they go astray she will forsake them, and hand them over to their ruin.

From those incidents in the past few days, it turned out to be better in general perspective.
I know the true value of family. 

When I have no clues what I should do, my mom instead of freaking out, calmed me down and persuaded my dad to come over to help.
His saying yes was like assurance for me that nothing is more important than family.

In short, my mom and dad are the ones minding the children while we are away.

Secondly, with my mom and dad here, I'm having more peace of mind because they can look out for each other.
And 28 Feb is my mom and dad in law anniversary, I'm glad that both of them also can be together despite she's not in the good state.

And this also draws me closer to God and trust Him more. 
I only can say THANK YOU SO MUCH to Him and entrusting what I will leave behind for another 12 days before coming back to do my mission.

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
