Fighting Spirit


This past few weeks, I have been fighting and racing against time.

It's actually office matters, it's secondary priority in my life after my family however it's my responsibility in my work.

In the past 2 months, I have been searching for this new home for our team. It's not an easy task, I have been viewing almost 50 units, strolling back and forth around Tanjong Pagar and Raffles area until I remember the road, the street along the stretch of tall building.

I made friends with few property agents, met strangers and became friends.

The requirements of the new office have been changed now and then as we want to get the best unit.

In the end, we found one according to our needs and liking. However, the challenges didn't stop there.

We raced against the time as we had only 2 weeks to complete everything before moving in.

I needed to find the contractors to do minor renovation while the company didn't allocate any budget for renovation. I needed to give facts finding to convince the management while sourcing for the contractor who could do the work faster with minimal budget.

Nevertheless, even we already found one, another challenge came up. We need to make sure that electricity are fire safety are according to the standard requirements.

The management only wants to sign the agreement if everything is working well. 

Juggling and convincing different parties involved are not easy tasks.

Nobody knows what I have been going through except God, myself and my husband.

Everyday since this project starts I have been praying and fasting, consecrating this new office to God even though I didn't know where this place will be.

Everyday I have been praying for those people whom I met and will meet along the journey, I bless each of them even though we may not have the opportunity to work together.

Everyday I pray for daily Grace to help and strengthen me especially for the impossible tasks given

Everyday I pray for God's wisdom for every decision I need to make and every step I need to take

Everyday I pray for the higher management, whom I believe is God's chosen ones whom I need to submit to them so that they are inspired by Holy Spirit and guided by His wisdom

Indeed, through this complicated journey, I only can say that God works wonder through me and everyone I meet.

He puts the right people in the right place and in the right time.

The fight has not over yet, but I believe once God has started His work, He will finish it perfectly in His appointed time.


Eventhough I feel burdened and couldn't sleep well this past few days, I always believe that He's will me and will never leave me alone.

One sweet proof is this WA message from one of the vendors I meet, strangers become consoler. It gives me a courage and conviction to do what I'm supposed to do, to bless other people.


We are blessed to bless others so that the others who receive our blessing will bless others too and it creates multiplier effect.

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
