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

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
