Declutter !

As I've been approaching the last miles of my career, I feel that there are many opportunities out there that looks lucrative. However, I am not sure which ones are really meant for me as I only can see the top of the iceberg.

Currently, I am taking sustainability course with BCG Rise as I want to dive deeper into this. It's not because of the trend, but more on personal advocate to create social impact to the people and environment.

Meanwhile these are some opportunities that I could see :

1. Work for people

- Joining competitor whom I respect the founder from his own story, insights and sharing that inspiring me

Pros : I can adapt quickly as I know the product roughly, tap into my networks and have a chance to grow their business faster as I could see that their products are simple, less complicated and suited to the market

Cons : I can't join directly as I have non competition clause for 3 months and it's more on the ethical point of view that the earliest I can join will be end of Q1 and update my LinkedIn after Q2.

- Joining marketplace apps whom I know the founder and it seems that he needs help to grow at Indo market

Pros : Early start up, things can be tweaked and pivoted according to market needs and tap into my network and knowledge, I may be able to help the business grow faster 

Cons : As it's an early start up, I am not sure if they have budget to offer me as the current company pays

2. Venture into new business (sustainability and circular economy related)

- Set up company branch/holding from existing Indonesia partner's entity (Reverse Vending Machine or 2nd hand furniture business)

Pros : Exciting journey, something that I always want to do, exponential personal growth and learning curve as I will learn a lot during the journey

Cons : The stake is high, need to have cofounder who is more experienced and the same value and mission, a lot of planning and preparation that will take my time and energy

I really want to go into stage 2 as that's my dream to have something on my own that I can contribute fully all my knowledge, experiences, network to make a social impact.

The question is am I ready ? or shall I work for early start up first to see how it goes before jumping into the ocean and start swimming there ?

Let see how the things unveiled.

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
