Funtastic Cruise Holiday - Day 1 (18 November 2021)

Finally the day we have been waiting for has arrived. Our first holiday "out of hustle bustle" Singapore after more than 18 months stuck in this little red dot.

We fight before the cruise as there's misunderstanding between us. Seeing him planning everything, I was so overwhelmed and afraid to hurt him if his plan didn't go well accordingly. We fight in the car, he raised voice at me for the first time, I was so shocked. I almost backed out but I chose to fight for it. For the first time I was breathless after fighting. I cried in front of the kids and when the kids asked, I told them that we fought.

We left our home around 11.20 am and arrived at MBCC at 11.50am.

During our waiting time, finally we reconciled.

Our check in appointment time was 1pm so we needed to wait around 20 minutes for our turn for ART test.

Around 12.30pm, we were allowed to go for ART test and waited for our results. The process for queueing and waiting was around 45 - 60 minutes since we had kids and Ted had a drama since he has phobia people pooking his nose. Other than that, it should be fast perhaps around 30 - 45minutes in total.

After all were clear, we went to check in counter and it took around 15 minutes since they need to check one by one and took individual picture for seapass. The last step was immigration and custom and it's pretty fast but since we had kids below 7yrs old, we needed to go to manual lanes and it took us another 15mins.

We boarded to the ship and got our key room around 2.15pm. Quickly we booked for all the shows and some "hot activities" like bumper car, gym.

At 3pm, we had safety drill as part of the requirements before going for the flow rider at 3.30pm.

It's another "Hot activity" and lucky we went there early and only queued for 15mins.

It was so much fun and the kids enjoyed it so much.

After that, we had a quick snack at Sorento Pizza before heading to our room for a quick shower and preparing for dinner.

Around 6.15pm, we arrived at Main Dining Hall as we have reserved for 6pm slot.

It's a fine dining setting and there is 3 set course menu as well as kids menu, the portion was bigger than expected with that kind of fine dining setting.

The food was delicious and nice. We loved the escargot, the beef steak and the dessert.

After dinner, we watched Violin show at 270 theatre at 8pm and magic show by John Taylor at Royal theatre at 10.15pm.

What a long and productive day and the fun just began.

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
