Fifth 9 days Thanksgiving journey - 54 days Novena

The theme for this week is THE SIGN


Day 37 - 6 November

Coming back to office feel my life so dull, dragging my feet, everyone is busy, no conversation and just heard that one of colleagues last day but the management just don't care and treat people like commodity. I feel uncomfortable so I message him, asking and wish him well.

Day 38 - 7 November

I heard 3 colleagues resigned, one of the C-level which the last day will be this Friday, one from legal and one from risk team and the last days will be on December. People are resigning from the company as they are not treated with respect and value. They just like commodity to do works. It's been expected. The question is when is my time to tender the resignation letter ? Today I work from home as 3 of my colleagues down with covid, I feel so good.

Day 39 - 8 November

A taste of like that I want, today I am work from home as I want to have a taste what life that I've been dreaming of. Starting my morning with prayer and going to gym for exercise, I feel so good to see familiar faces who're going to gym constantly then coming back home start my works. During lunch time, I go to church for 25mins lunch time mass and then having lunch at home. Then I continue working again. It's kinda dynamic and never dull. Something that I've been longing for but don't know when will I get my life back

Decide to work from office and spend my morning time going to the gym with our eldest son. I feel so good after exercise, it's the life that I have been longing for.

Returning home receive the good news that our middle and youngest ones are receiving awards.


Day 41 - 10 November

Going to the gym in the morning and feel so good and energetic. Reaching office and seeing my COO is already there and I feel sick when my head of finance bootlicking him.

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
