Calm over the situation


We met our best friend over dinner last Sunday. They just came back from Scandinavia trip few weeks ago.
They shared about their unforgettable experience including the car accident in Iceland.
What caught me most was when they shared how the people there responded the fateful event like accident.

They told us that accident happened in the F road which was a lot of gravels and since suddenly it's snowing, they were not prepared. The car's tyres were slippery and they hit two motorcycles nearby. They were on the way to go to base camp for snow mobile activity.

After the car accident, they were very panic especially it happened in the foreign country and out of nowhere. Then there's a car coming and saw the accident happened.
The driver quickly was out from the car and check the motorcycles which have been hit by their car if there are victims. Thanks God, there's no casualty.

When they called the police, the police helped to contact the car rental company and informed them about the accident. The rental company asked them if there's any casualties or if the car was badly damaged. Thanks God, it's not as bad as it's but they were still in the state of shock because the bonnet was unable to close properly. Then the car rental company told them it's okay and just continued to their plan and enjoy the rest of the day.

After they reached the base camp and informed them about the car accident. The people there remained calm and told them that the police already informed them and they told our friend to go ahead with snow mobile experience and enjoyed it.

They were very surprised how calm the people there compare with Asian people.

It just reminded me that either good or bad in life, we should remain calm because we believe that God's in control of 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
