Cruise Trip CANCELED


What a Sunday to end the year of Ox !

I was excited and looking forward to upcoming cruise trip this Thursday.
It's been a hectic month with the kids schedule and timings and sometimes I need to wake up very early to send the kids and hubby to office and pick them up in the afternoon. In between, I am still busy with the works and courses. 
And in 3 weeks time, our helper will go back to Indonesia, thus I want to enjoy and spend the time with my family without worrying about the household chores and daily hustle bustles.

Unfortunately, this morning, we received the cancellation from the cruise liner due to covid.
 At first, I was calm when receiving the news and thinking it is what it is, and many things we can't control especially this covid situations.

I guess my mind was in the state of shock and hasn't sinked in yet, until I realised that it jeopardised all my plan and what I hope for.
I can't hide my disappointment. I have been planning to re-do what I have missed in the last cruise trip.
Sunrise jogging with hubby and quality time at Solarium. 

There were some moments that I didn't feel happy in the last cruise trip, thus I want to repeat it and make it become memorable and happy moments. However, it won't ever happen again.

It is what it is, I just tried to think positively that God always have better plan for us even though it may not be aligned with our plan.

Happiness is a choice despite the external situation.

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
