Second 9 days Petition journey - 54 days novena

The message for second milestone of 9 days journey is purification.

Day 10 - 10 October

It's our youngest's birthday and I need to travel to Jakarta for company workshop. It took 1.5 days and I felt good bashing my CEO and COO with lots of questions. These are not to corner them but to wake them up how's the market right now and whether our products and commercial term fit the market.

In the evening, I have project assignment for my sustainability course and everything turns well.

Day 11 - 11 October

Another full day workshop in office and apparently one of colleagues shares with me what struggles and stress she feels right now due to micromanage and rigid clocking. I totally understand her as I feel the same. I don't even know who this company anymore, the culture has changed and so does the value. I really want to help her but I don't have any power and authority, I feel so helpless

Day 12 - 12 October

I make friends with 2 new joiners from different team as they are apparently sitting next to me. Talking with them, listening to them open up our vulnerability and I feel connected with them. This is culture that I know, respect and appreciate people and understand their feeling and vulnerability. But it seems with the fast growth, it's all gone

Day 13 - 13 October

Flying back to Singapore and in the evening the CEO messages us about new company strategy to ramp up since we are merging with another company. The good things are buying time and I have more "kakis" to do sales. She's a nice girl and I love to impart my skills to her so when I am leaving, it doesn't disrupt the process.

Day 14 - 14 October

It's mom's birthday, I learn a lot from her to be steadfast and stand still during adversity.  I want to have quality time with hubby but ends up going out with friends and I don't feel excited about it.



Day 15 - 15 October

What if questions and confusion. Hubby agrees to accompany me to the conscious market festival and at night we watch our of Lady of Fatima and praying Rosary together.



Day 16 - 16 October

Travel for business trip and able to pour out my thoughts to the CEO, and I feel good about it

Day 17 - 17 October

I feel tired and overwhelmed with my works, feel under pressure to think about pipelines, my BCG courses, my circular economy projects

Day 18 - 18 October

Attending Tech in Asia and feel good and positive meeting old clients and friends, my prospect business partner and self pamper

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...
