Davin Indah Love story

After journeying through "the desert," I had a profound realization: each of our lives is unique. Our life and love stories are different, and we shouldn't compare them to others. Instead, we should take pride in our own journey, as long as we have done the right thing and our conscience remains clear. This is what I have learned after bringing my "many complaints" to God. Sometimes, life doesn’t go according to our plans or expectations, even when we have done what is right. In those moments, we need extra grace to accept and embrace that things are unfolding as they are meant to be. When God allows challenges to happen, He also provides the strength, grace, and providence to help us navigate those difficult moments. With this revelation, I feel at peace and trust more deeply in God's plan, timing, and provision—knowing that as long as I have done the right thing, my heart can remain at rest.

In my desperation and anxiety over our financial situation, I turned to St. Joseph’s intercession through the Novena to St. Joseph. Throughout the nine days of prayer, I reflected deeply on St. Joseph’s life, especially during his feast day. He was a simple, humble, and introverted man, living in the shadow of Mary, yet entrusted with the immense responsibility of protecting and providing for the Son of God and His mother. It’s incredible how St. Joseph lived his life. He had no clear knowledge of God’s plan—only dreams as guidance—yet he obeyed without hesitation, following God’s instructions with unwavering faith. When Mary told him she was with child by the Holy Spirit, he must have struggled to comprehend it. As a man of logic, he might have thought she was imagining things or even delusional. Yet, after receiving a message in a dream, he chose to believe her, take her under his care, and embrace his role in God’s plan. As a human, he might have assumed that the Son of God would be...

As a way to honor history, I want to record some key dates in WinterBuddy’s journey. February 2, 2025 – The Feast of the Presentation of the Lord I registered the name  WinterBuddy Singapore LP  and had to wait at least 14 days for approval.

This is the ninth day of my journey to rediscover my  First Love , and today, I am inspired to embrace simplicity. Finding God in the ordinary—in simple moments, everyday life, and the people around me. Our God is a God of simplicity. When He was born, He did not come into a palace or even a proper home. Instead, He chose a humble manger, borrowed from a shepherd’s stable. From the very beginning, He lived as a nomad—moving from Bethlehem to Egypt, then to Nazareth, where He spent years as an ordinary man, unnoticed as the Son of God. He followed the customs of His time, choosing to be baptized even though He had no need for it, receiving the Father's affirmation of love before He had done anything. Led by the Spirit, He entered the wilderness, where the devil tested His identity. Yet, after stripping Himself of all worldly attachments, He moved from place to place, touching the lives of ordinary people and living among them in simplicity. He owned nothing—not even a home to call H...

This morning, I woke up feeling less energetic than usual. Still, I pushed myself to do at least 30 minutes of cardio while watching a sermon on YouTube. After finishing my cardio, I was tempted to do just one upper body exercise and call it a day—but that didn’t happen. Instead, I ended up completing four sets. Then, I noticed the Smith machine was available, so I told myself I’d just do four sets of squats and be done. But in the end, I also did deadlifts and back rows. Wow... I could hardly believe it! What started as my most sluggish morning turned into a full session of heavy exercises. The best part of my day, though, was on my way home. While riding the bus, I watched a sermon by Fr. Frankie on YouTube about God's providence and timing. He reminded us that we don’t need to strive anxiously—God has already prepared and ordered everything in His perfect timing, not just for our good, but for our  maximum  good and for  His  maximum glory. If He acted according t...

I have decided to rediscover my "First Love" — my love for Jesus — especially during this Lenten season. This is a  40-day journey into the desert , a time to reflect, to find who I truly am, and to reconnect with who God is in my life. I pray that by the end of this Lenten season, I will experience healing, regain my self-confidence, and most importantly, restore my confidence in God. I am still hurting and struggling with feelings of disappointment when I remember how I was cornered and cast aside, even though my only intention was to help the company grow and succeed. For 4.5 years, I prayed faithfully for the leaders, the staff, and the prosperity of the business. Yet, in the end, I was left feeling unappreciated and humiliated. As much as I want to forgive and move on, it feels like every door I try to open remains firmly shut. Even when a few doors seemed to offer hope, they quickly closed, leaving me back at square one. I often feel useless and not good enough. I was e...

This trip almost didn’t happen! When my husband suggested I join him on his business trip to Bangkok, I hesitated—our kids have exams next week! But after some thought, I figured… why not? Who knows when his next Bangkok trip will be? So, two weeks ago, I told him,  “I’m in!” —but just for a quick  3-day, 2-night adventure. I flew in with Scoot in the evening (with one-hour delay 🙃) and landed in Bangkok around 7 PM. Hubby picked me up, and we made a quick stop at  Siam Factory Outlet  near the airport to check out winter jackets. Sadly, the selection was small, and the prices weren’t much better than Singapore’s—so no luck there! Exploring Bangkok Solo!  🚶‍♀️ While hubby was busy with meetings the next morning, I went on a little solo adventure. First stop:  The Grand Palace!  It was grand, but honestly, also quite packed. I joined a free tour (highly recommend!) and learned some fascinating history. Next, I walked over to  Wat Pho , home to th...
