39th Birthday Reflections !



I love the quote that I'm still 18 years old with 21 years of experience. It makes me always feel young, energetic but more mature and wiser.

I am so blessed to be pampered and showered with lots of love from my hubby, kids, parents, parents in law, brothers and sisters and friends. I can feel that God is with us through these people surrounding me, not only God, I feel that all angels and saints also love and look after me.

I give thanks for many things in my life.

1. Good health

Health is the most important element in my life. It's one of God's greatest gift that most of the time we take for granted. For me, taking care of my body to make sure that all organs and cells are functioning well is my accountability to the creator. Exercise and eating well become my lifestyle instead of chores. This is how I celebrate life.

2. Other half aka hubby

My hubby is my second love after God. He's the reflection of God's love, the way he treats me, cares and loves me as who I am and makes me grow in faith and personal development. He's always be there for me, listening to my stories, feeling, complains. He's the best gift God ever give to me after my good health.

3. My children

Watching them growing well and healthy and put God first in everything they do is all I ask for. They grow on their unique characters and personality. Yes, sometimes they annoy me but they also make my life colorful. They are the miracle of life which sometimes I could see my own reflection in them.

4. My parents and siblings


Knowing that they are still healthy and taken care of by God are what I ask for. Eventhough I am not so close with them but having them as part of my life is the gift that money can't buy. One of my greatest wishes is to see my dad being babtised as Catholic, accept Jesus as His savior before his earthly life times up.

5. My friends



One of my pillar supports is having friends whom I can be the way I am. And I'm so grateful and honored to have these privilege. Having a community who always support and remind me whenever I make mistake.

6. My co-workers

I thank God for putting me in this workplace where I can do self-actualization, contribute my talents and skills and give flavor to the environment.

7. Past experiences

I thank God for all ups and downs in my life that train me to be wiser and growing well. I always believe that whatever happens in my life either is good or bad according to my horizon is under God's control. And He always put everything good in the end.

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
