4th Business Trip for this year (4 - 9 March 2024) - Happy International Women's Day

This is one of the most hectic trips which I had high stress level as we were preparing our second own event celebrating International Women's Day.

The challenges are the company hands off so I prepared this alone with one and my only one team and representative from other organization, WeConnect International.

We initiated this event end of February and just less than 1.5 months we made it happen.

My company challenged me if I didn't get any sponsorship, just aborted the plan.

I almost gave up but with encouragement from the counter part, we did the best.

There are many adjustment from the ideation until execution and there are many hiccups that I need to do damage control and staying late and slept after midnight.

I left my family and kids behind even though they were sick at home.

I cried every night and told God that I couldn't do it anymore if You don't help me. Everything is not under my control.

Thanks God the event went well, the participants were so happy and very inspired by the speakers we invited.

As I thought I can pat myself and proud to myself, one of colleagues who did nothing stole the limelight, announced to the whole world that it's her project and as if she's the one initiated and leading it.

It really disgusted and turned me off. I told myself, she already lost my respect.

If she announced it under company's account, then I am fine but she announced it under her own LinkedIn with her pictures and only few guests that was invited by her and still said thank you to the sponsors and speakers even though she never knew these guys.

I was so pissed off with her attitude and behaviour.

I tried to let go and told myself, it's alright. She may claim all the glory but people will know the truth.

Anyway, I was so grateful that everything was went well and when I came back home, the kids and hubby missed me so much. They told a lot of stories and behave so well.

Nothing is more important than my family !

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
