Go for a "mission"

As I mentioned in my 40th birthday reflection that 40 is a new 20 where God gives me a second chance to live my life in the fullest by using all my gifts and talents to be fruitful and become blessings for others.

Indeed, on my annual performance review, I was prompted to write self assessment and proposed myself to be transferred into different department which is business development.

I was in sales and marketing in my whole career life however I never felt that I had achieve success. I always felt that I was a failure because I never made a big sales. That's why I want to make another attempt to prove myself that I could do it.

I was born with entrepreneur spirit, I love learning new things, create something, solve the problems but I lack of perseverance.

Thus, I challenge myself to do the best I could for this company.

It's not an easy journey, there were times that I was down especially when I have planted a lot of seeds and nothing happen. But there were good times too where I got positive responses from prospects.

Despite all those external challenges, I feel so grateful that many people supporting me. My hubby believes in me and cheers me up even though he doesn't understand the business.

My team mates support and back me up when I don't understand or stuck during presentation to the clients and most importantly the CEO who is a servant leader and doesn't mind to get dirty hands.

The journey is still long and not sure when the seeds will start sprouting but I will keep doing what I could do. And these verse reminds me and become my daily strength.

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
