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.

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
