First Morning Walk at West Coast

First Morning Walk at West Coast - Blue Macaw story

This is our first Saturday in year 2023 as I don't have any training session, I spent my Saturday morning having quality time with my beloved family.

I have promised to bring our youngest son to West Coast since last week, thus we went to West Coast Park in the morning. The kids were playing by themselves while we strolled around the park.

When we were about to pick up the kids, we saw a man with a pair of blue macaw. The feathers are so beautiful and the master showered them with a spray of water.

Curious, I went closer and started asking him some questions about his bird pet.

He explained that blue macaw was a proud bird, his natural character is they are proud as a flock and they want master's full attention. This is how they survive. Once the master ignore them for something else, they will get very stress and slowly die.

The important thing is how we manage this macaw so they are not over us and human is still their master.

The only way is "IGNORE" them when they try to get attention for eg biting, copy the sound and words etc. If we react, they will know our weaknesses and will push their way so that we relented and have no power over them

If they do a good job, the master needs to "REWARD" them so that they know that's how they behave.

When this master told us about this, I can relate since it's similar like the kids. They will try to push their limit by throwing tantrum and getting attention from us. Once they know that they are able to get it when they throw tantrum, they will use the same weapon so that we have no more power over them.

Simple and yet powerful reminder.

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
