Spring Cleaning


Today, I did spring cleaning.
Cleaning up my eldest's paperworks and school book while tidying up the cupboard.
During the spring cleaning, there are three items I found

1. Items seldom or never use anymore (ready to be discarded)
2. Forgotten items but it's useful now
3. Useful items but no longer needed (can be donated)

I usually did spring cleaning every 3 months, most of the time cleaning up toys as well as yearly spring cleaning for school books and paper works.

It takes courage to start because sometimes I don't know where to start. But after finishing it, I feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good.
The cupboard is now more spacious, it's nice to view it again like brand new.

It also applies in spiritual life.
Most of the time we have lots of cluttered things in our life.
With the fast pace we have, we just add in baggages now and then and in the end we feel that our life is so messy, cluttered, lost focus and purpose.

When we do "spring cleaning", we start to find out which baggages that actually can be discarded.
All those noises and distractions in our life can be thrown away.
We also find out which things that have been forgotten but it has the importance in our life for eg, family, friends
Last but not least, we also discover back our talents that we can contribute back to society. The desire that God has planted in our life to make our life is worth telling.

So, regular spring cleaning either physically or spiritually is not a bad idea at all.

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
