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.

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...
