Babtism day of our god-daughter (28 June 2021)

Today we attend the babtism of our god-daughter, she's the daughter of our best friend, wedding witnesses and children's godparents. We are so happy finally we have a daughter haha... She's such a cute and sweet girl, very calm and cool. May God bless and guide your path always and you grow in faith and have reverence to God

First Dose of Covid-19 Vaccination

Finally we had our first dose of vaccination last week. We decided to take Pfizer vaccination after hearing some adverse effects from other vaccine especially for those super fit people. Our slot was at night and it took around 40 mins in total. The preparation and vaccination itself took 10 mins and observation after vaccination is around 30 mins. The advise from the nurse is no alcohol during 48 hours and no strenous exercise for 5 days. Going home, I took protein shake and have a good rest. So far so good. In the morning, we felt the sore in our left arm where the injection was but other than that we felt okay and no fever. I took protein shake and food with high protein and vit D from Mr Sunshine. 24 hours after vaccination everything is good and no adverse effect. Thanks God everything is going well.

First Date after Ph 3 (HA)

After a month or so dining in at home and only going out to buy groceries, we ate out at first time one day before our Vaccination. We boosted out body with protein thus we had Korean BBQ dinner. We didn't really order much, it's just perfect for two of us with 500g meat, side dishes and steamed egg. 18 hours after our vaccination, we don't feel any adverse effects, thus we have tea time at cafe in Tanjong Pagar enjoying hot chocolate even though after I found the best hot choco, their hot choco is no longer in my list any more :P

Happy Father's Day 2021

This year we celebrate Happy Father's Day at home since all the restaurant is still closed for dining in. We celebrate it with hubby's favourite food, steak and sausages. I ordered eclair as celebration cake. Spiritually, thanks God for Family Builder which has this Fatherhood series every Saturday to remind us the important of father's roles in children and thus I help to take some pictures of hubby and the kids as memory and reminder that their dad has done his best to fulfill the roles.

9 Days of Pruning

After I am done with batch 3 of FitBites order, I want to pause, reflect and ask God whether this is what He wants me to do or just my own desire.  Currently, I have two options, diving deep on Finance and investment which something I never get interested in before or diving deep into home baked business which is pretty new for me. I'm used to cook healthy food for myself and family but extending this to other people is another challenge. Thus, I decide to fast, pray and meditate these 9 days to gain wisdom, knowledge and counsel from God. I always believe that we have capability to do anything but if God doesn't approve and we rely on our own strength, there's always price to pay in the end. I rather ask God's blessing than following my own desire. My fasting and pray started on Monday, 14 June 2021. Hopefully by the end of this 9 days, I can see what God's will for me.

God's Affirmation (5 June 2021)

Last Thursday, I attended fintech course sponsored by my company where I work. It's really opening up my horizon about how technology can disrupt and change everything and how fast it happens and what will be the future like. I am so amazed with that and after I did my revision and search more for this future technology in finance, I stumbled with a few options. One of them is doing investing. I have no background in the investment and it intrigues me to find out more about what and how to do the investment. Everything happens for a reason. Yesterday, when I sent the package to my friend, we have some casual talked and guess what, she's just telling me about investment and the platform she used without me asking her anything. I was like....oh whatt....when your mind is thinking about it, it attracts people surround you to conform with your thought. For me, it's like an affirmation that perhaps this is something which again out of my comfort zone but will keep my life more i...

The Challenges

There are some reservations for me to jump into this entrepreneurship journey again, both internal and external factors These are questions that come into my mind I am in the good life now, why should I trouble myself to take this entrepreneurship path again ? F&B is time consuming and the taste need to be the same all the time, should I rather spend time for other things ? I am very new into this venture, what if I can't deliver as what people expect ? What if my products won't be accepted by the market and I will feel down and hurt my self esteem? What if my products are successful and the greed take over me ? What if this business distract me from God by relying more on my own understanding and strength instead of Him ? My hubby is not an entrepreneur person and in the my previous adventure, I was doing everything alone and he looked down on me to make small money with so much efforts, thus I had this phobia that he won't support me instead pulling me down saying tha...

The Leap of Faith ( 30th May 2021)

Sunday, 30th May 2021 is the feast of Holy Trinity.  Two days before, I had this prompting to venture to new adventure which is opening the homemade dessert which is healthier version of what the market offer. I have been in dilemma as I am in the comfortable life right now. I have a great job with good salary, can spend time with my hubby and kids, enjoy my passion to coach and train other people, the least I ever thought is starting entrepreneur journey again. Entrepreneur journey is not an easy path, very challenging and tiring sometimes but it's fulfilling mission as well. On Sunday afternoon, I had a call from my trainee. Suddenly she told me "Indah, can you open PO for acai bowl?" I was shocked and didn't know what to say. In addition, she told me that to open the order on Tuesday as I met her and she was willingly to help distributing the food. I tried to give her some excuses as I haven't bought the ingredients and even haven't counted the cost and pri...
