3rd short business trip to Jakarta (15 - 17 Feb 2023)

Last Wednesday I had a short business trip to Jakarta, the plan was to discuss our IRF project and met new clients and partners. It turned out different from my expectation but I knew it's under God's control because I have prayed over it everyday. I flew with Jetstar on Wednesday morning, it's smooth sailing. I had breakfast on the go which was don donki beef pau. Touching down, clearing immigration and reaching hotel for check in were done within 2 hours. Reaching office just before lunch time. I worked for a while in the office before meeting new client in the afternoon with the team. After coming back to office, we had internal team meeting to discuss IRF project. Tired from the whole morning and it's a long winded meeting triggered my emotion. I couldn't think properly and while discussing with another team, one of the C-level came and cut my discussion without knowing the context. I was burst out and snapped on him. I felt so frustrated and angry with him and ...

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...

Valentine Celebration with family

My time is now very precious due to busy traveling to Indonesia. Thus, I want to spend my time as much as possible with my family. I just came back from business trip yesterday and I wanted to have something nice for lunch with the kids and celebrating Valentine with them, so we used our dining voucher to eat at Royale restaurant at Mercure hotel. We ordered different main courses, the food was good and big portion, and the best part it was 50% discount so it's really worth it and we had complimentary parking as well,

2nd Business Trip to Jakarta (6 - 10 Feb 2023)

A new month and new adventure, so here I go again for 2nd business trip to Jakarta. And this time round the focus is to deploy our woman impact fund. Hopefully it's a fruitful week I took Batik Air and regretted it because there's no entertainment and landed in Terminal 2 which disorganised and when I went out, it's so crazy, many strangers offered the airport transfer. I won't take Batik Air anymore, perhaps Jetstar or Scoot is the better choice after all for business trip. I arrived around 5.30pm in the hotel, working for awhile then going for treadmill while waiting for my dinner to be delivered. This business trip focusing on Woman Impact Lending program, thus I met a lot of referrals to help us spread the words. And I ordered healthy meals from Gojek, cheap and good and convenient. So here's some of the meals I ordered In the morning, I always had 1 hour exercise and eating healthy breakfast I also attanded Art event at Plataran and they served fine dining cour...

Reconnect - reconciliation - rediscovering marriage life's purpose

This year, we gonna celebrating 15th years wedding anniversary and as a gift for ourselves, we decided to attend Marriage Encounter. This is our 2nd ME retreat, the first one was 10 years ago on our 5th year Wedding anniversary. Even so we haven't forgotten everything. The only take away that we remember is expressing "I feel..." and writing love letters. Before coming to ME on Friday, we were full with baggages, bitterness and resentments. We pretended that everything was well, we tried to be lovey dovey but we knew deep inside our heart, we have been hurt. Whatever we said was just critics and sarcasm which came from the root of bitterness and resentment. On Friday night, we had a long talk especially the unresolved issues. Thanks God for the solitude time and no distraction, we were able to focus to one another. We listened each other's feelings and understood the reason behind. We clarified things that we assumed, we tried to understand each other's point of v...
