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


Day 40 - 9 November

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. Then in the evening met with BCG mates and share about my new ventures, there's a partner in BCG that's interested in supporting me. 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. Anyway I just do my works the best I could do, there's a deal opportunity with my BCG mate and see if that happens. In the evening, we had family dinner at Sweechoon

Day 42 - 11 November

Dropping my kids and hubby to badminton, Garden by the bay and seminar and having me time to self care at gym then in the afternoon serving FB as Worship leader and spending my evening with friends at JB

Day 43 - 12 November

Going for Sunday mass and parent's meeting for altar boys and in the afternoon, hubby and the boys serving Indo mass led by our spiritual priest when we went to Holyland.


Day 44 - 13 November

Today is deevapali holiday, trying winter coat and going to our god daughter's birthday. Since Indo is not holiday, I am still "working" replying the message and heard that one of ex - colleague return back to us.


Day 45 - 14 November

The last day of fifth 9 days thanksgiving journey and our CEO came to office today and sit next to me and He asked me to plan for the official launch of Nikel Academy. I was excited as it's my core strength.

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...
