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 with car washing, I moved the car back and  had power nap.

This evening, the fight started.

He asked where we should eat, I had no plan at all and since the kids wanted to eat subway then I told him let's go to Clementi Mall.

I thought we just take away subway but when he asked the kids whether they wanted to eat subway, the kids said yes and we went to Subway at Clementi Mall and ate there.



I didn't think much cos I really had no plan except to rest and enjoy being at home.

But seemed that my ignorant was the root of what it went wrong,

He's upset that we didn't spent the time in special way as today is the New Year Eve.

He was very cold during our dinner at Subway and after we came back, he asked me to go down and had a talk.

He told me what he felt today that he's very upset. I told him it's not that I didn't care about what he felt, but I was very tired, I knew myself how much my body could take it. I was in between sick and not that's why I couldn't think any plans at all.

I am thinking after 1 full day rest then I can think clearly again and make a plan for tomorrow.

He told me that giving a speech with the kids was important for him and I am supposed to be well after afternoon rest and he told me that I was a selfish person who never considers his feelings and needs.

He thought I should rest straight, I didn't rest after we came back instead I was playing computer. He was busy with his things too, of course while waiting for our helper to wash the car I wrote the blog.

I was shocked and didn't know how to respond.

We had a talk but it seemed that we are in different perspective.

For me, it's just a small matter but for him, it's a big thing.

We had a long talk also about the clothes preference and other things. I just kept quiet because I didn't know how to respond or aggregate the matters. Every time I tried to talk, I was in fault thus I prefer to just keep my mouth shut.

He called me selfish and only care about my feeling and needs. He told me that I always felt that I am right all the time.

Honestly, I didn't know how to respond. I never thought that way because if I don't get what I want, I will find my own way, embrace situation and be happy with the situation.

One thing I learnt from all this fights is to be able to keep my mouth shut and accept him whoever he is. It needs a lot of patiences. Well, I consider it as a muscles training.

I didn't expect this New Year Eve will end like this but it is what it is, I only can breath in and out and move on.

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...
