When the faith and fidelity are challenged !

One fine Saturday that I won't forget.

We have planned to go to Adventure Cove with the kids and our friends. It's all starting well, everyone is excited and looking forward for the fun. We reached there around 2.30pm.

We started our journey from the lazy river as a family.  Then we wanted to try other attraction - wave pool, unfortunately our youngest son is our weakest link, he's afraid to try the wave pool and we met our friend and split up.





Our eldest and second son went together with them and hubby decided to be with me and our youngest son. Less than 5 mins, he decided to try another slide and told me that he wanted to have fun also.

I decided to stay with our youngest and found something that suit his. We decided to queue for Tree house big bucket while hubby queued for rocket slide, that's the last time we parted nicely.


After 30 mins queueing up at Tree house, we had a chance to play but less than 5 mins, our youngest son gave up because he felt very cold and decided to do lazy river as it's his favourite attraction. 

We did 3x in total and I asked him, do you want to play other attraction ? he said no and I asked him if he wanted to finish and sit, he still hesitated as he still wanted to play.

I was at loss, I also wanted to play and have fun, but nobody take care of him. I was looking for hubby but not avail. Finally meeting my other friend and asked her and her replied triggered my emotion.

Suddenly all negative thoughts came and I was so angry. In my thought, should I fight for or give up the chance to explore the park and have fun ?

I decided to fight for... I ask my other friend to help looking after him while I decided to go for wave pool.

That's the last chance for me to enjoy wave pool, it was fun but my heart was half broken.

And I wanted to try the slide but thought it needs two people and I was not adrenaline person thus I need someone to accompany me. Then I met my friend's helper who told me that hubby was in the entrance of lazy river.

Running towards the entrance and seeing him having fun with the ladies, my emotion was erupted. I shouted at him from the top. I know it's the most foolish to do, but with the half energy I have to fight for what is mine, I have no regret.

In the end, he accompanied me for the rocket slide. He explained the situation and I accepted it and let it go.

If you think the stories has ended happy ending, it's not. It's just the beginning of the unveiling the truth.

During our journey back home, he's very quiet and I knew something it's not right.

After dropping the kids, we went to nearby mall to purchase some gifts. We started to talk and he explained that he felt it's not fair for him when I shout at him as he has no intention to have fun with the ladies.

I apologise and told the reason behind and what I felt all awhile the way he treated our common girlfriend.

Then the truth was unveiled that he actually had a crush with our another close friend who I never thought about it.

After that, I was quiet along the way, I didn't know what to say, speechless, confused with many questions.

This is where our faithfulness and fidelity  are challenged. Forgiveness and merciful heart are challenged.

Then suddenly, he told me that he didn't want to go tomorrow for our activity watching movie together as he wanted to avoid misunderstanding again.

I am just quiet and don't know what to say. I only ask myself, are you a coward ?

After breaking my heart and it seems that it's my fault to have wrong perception.

It's like the sword piercing my heart but I just felt numb. I distracted myself by preparing the xmas gifts and drinking  a bottle of bubble wine and two glasses of gin and orange juice.

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...
