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.

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 ...

Reflection

It's been such a long time that I sit down, press a pause button and reflect back what has happened in my life, what things I should be grateful, what are the lesson learnt and what I should improve Things have gone so fast in my life and it's like unending cycle. It's been almost 2 months since I helmed the new project in the company I am working and it took half of my life. I felt like I had a new baby but not "literally baby", it's more responsibility as many lives are on stakes. I had no experience, no mentor and coach, no team per say, only one person who's not hundred percent fully committed in this project and on top of that, the company threw me in the deep sea that  I need to swim and survive. It reminded me back when I started my motherhood journey. With no knowledge, no experience, no mentor, no helpers and little money, we need to nurture the living baby and finally we survived. The first one was always the harder, but after the second and thir...

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 6)

It's time for another dream destination - Cappadocia. After arriving at Athens International Airport, we miscalculated the transit time. We only gave 1.5 hours in between without realising that we needed to change the airline and domestic route so we rushed out and checked in 25 minutes before the flight departed. Thanks God, we were still allowed for checking in. After settling in Turkish airlines, we were provided with warm baguette and drinks which could calm ourselves and our seat was next to emergency door so we got leg room. We arrived at Cappadocia airport which was very small and reminded me on my hometown's airport in the old days. Then we were picked up by airport transfer to our cave hotel - Panoramic cave hotel. The journey to the hotel was amazing, we saw many natural chimneys that we never saw before. Arriving in the hotel, we checked in to our pigeon nest room which was chimney suite and never stop took pictures of the room and the scenery surrounding. In the lat...
