Last 9 days Thanksgiving Journey - 54 Days Novena

The theme for the last 9 days Thanksgiving journey

God answers !


Day 46 - 15 November 2023
Having lunch time mass and there's something that I feel God has answered my prayer when Fr Andrew had the homily about 10 lepers. When Jesus said, Go. Nothing happen at first but when they are on the journey, they are healed. God has answered but we may think that nothing happened, along the way then we realised that God has answered it.


Attending SFF and have a short catch up with the competitor. Many want to penetrate Indo market but they don't have the arms. I finished doing microsite for FinClusion project and feel accomplished and having dinner with PD Kkihs folks.


Day 47 - 16 November 2023
Attending SFF and having "Cold War" with hubby for a trivial matter due to miscommunication and misunderstanding. Out of the blue, new prospective client contacted me.


Day 48 - 17 November 2023
Attending SFF and having a long catch up with competitors and speaking with other competitors to understand their challenges and reminded me how Nikel started and how we have got our foot in the market, I feel that God has shown me some signs that I need to stay here. Even though it's not what I expected but I try to be like Mother Mary, "Be it done unto me ", remind my when I was pregnant with our third boy. It's hard to accept in the beginning but after I saw how our third boy grow, I feel God always has the best plan


Day 49 - 18 November 2023
Meeting old classmate from Chinese tuition almost 20 years ago then having self care facial before going to JB with hubby for supper. On our journey to JB, I shared that I have strong feeling that God wants me to stay in this company which makes me uncomfortable.



Day 50 - 19 November 2023
Attending Sunday mass and having family brunch at Huber's Butchery, mesmerising old days during covid time when Huber's is our entertainment and consolation. Then in the afternoon, we tried winter clothes in HM and found out that we could save 30 - 40% if we buy them in JB.



Day 51 - 20 November 2023
Received message from the CEO of our competitor and invite me to have lunch and meet the rest of the team on mid December and it's travel time to Jakarta again to organise FDG for USAID Program.



Day 52 - 21 November 2023
Organising FDG group and it's quite tiring haha so I did unwind in the evening by having cream bath at Salon. I felt uneasy after speaking with new client that I just closed. I feel that our system is too complex and costly but I can't tell the whole truth to the client and let the thing unfold naturally.



Day 53 - 22 November 2023
Return back to Singapore with full workload as a lot of backlogs and feel loved and relieved when hubby picked me up and had late lunch together over oyster.
In the evening, we attend ME community night.




Day 54 - 23 November 2023

This is the day that I am waiting for as it's the end of my 54 days journey. However, nothing happens. Disappointment ? yes, but on the other hand I try to calm myself and reflect back what God really wants me to do.

Is staying in this company really the answer ? It's very hard for me to comprehend and understand. We celebrate this with eating Bak Kut Teh as I have been craving to eat bak but teh and the road to get this food is not smooth sailing haha.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.
