First Business Trip after covid

I have been posted to a new post as sales associate and it's under Business Development Department since June 2022. It was an exciting journey, however I felt anxious and had a doubt in the middle of the journey whether I made the right decision. This was really out of my comfort zone, totally a new product and need to speed up my knowledge about the product as soon as I can.

I had no connection since I have left the workforce 12 years ago but I walked by faith relying on God's providence and daily grace.

Last week, I went to Jakarta for attending Indoagrotech event. It's a last minute decision when I got prompted during night strolling with my hubby. The prompt was like this I was asked to get the lead from the event and quickly I browsed the internet and saw the upcoming event which was one week away. After talking to my team and boss to get approval to go, I quickly booked the ticket and hotel and the ticket price was crazy but I had no choice whether we made a first step and learnt or regretted after that.

The journey was very smooth I would say, my flight was in the morning and hubby sent me to the airport.



After touching down, I went to drop my luggage to the hotel and went straight to the event and conference in Jakarta Convention Center. I met new people from new industry, listened to the conference and met my aunty and her friends who were supposed my prospect too.

After event, I went to meet my parents in law for dinner at Sate Senayan before returning back to hotel for good night rest.

The next day, I went to the gym first and had hearty breakfast before going to our Jakarta office. In the evening I met with my friends for dinner.







I departed the next day to Singapore, sent by my mom in law and she's thoughtful bring me lunch box just in case I didn't have time to have lunch in the airport as I was so busy calling and meeting. Finally I landed safely and met my family and friends again.




It's a fruitful trip as I got some potential leads along the way.

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
