Our Love Journey Begin - Courtship Day

We first met sometimes on October 2005 when we were introduced by our friend, Martinus.
It was one of Prayer Group event, Love Night where we played music together for the first time.
He played guitar and I played  keyboard.

There was no first love at first sight though, in fact I even had a crush with his best friend.
However, as time goes by, we often met during Prayer Group event or other church activity, our feeling developed.

There was a time that it's kinda weird and it was fate that we were meant to be together.
He stayed at Choa Chu Kang and took Red MRT Line and I stayed at Chinese Garden and took Green MRT Line but we somehow met together at the same carriage at Jurong East MRT Interchange.
It happened a few times unexpectedly

In short, we officially became a couple on May 10, 2006.
It's was unusual proposal though and it's unplanned....
That time, I just finished worked quite late and he sent me home and stayed at my room for a while.
We chatted and looked at my old photos which I appeared plumper.

And somehow, I didn't know what struck me back  that I had a courage to ask him casually about our relationship status.
He was shocked and so was I...(hahaha)...
Then, he replied that actually he had the same feeling too but he had not had a courage to prop the question asking me to be his girlfriend because he's still in between the job and didn't have steady income yet. He planned to prop the questions 3 months later after he got steady job.

Back then, we were young and not idealists therefore money is not our priority yet, as long as we loved each other.
We had a great time together as a couple. We watched movie almost every Sunday, we travelled to some South East Asia Counties and spent our time together serving God through our Monthly Prayer Group.

We were together as a couple for 2 years plus before we were officially married

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

Prayer for broken marriage

Lord, Your word promises that you’re near to the brokenhearted.  I am broken.  My heart hurts from all the hard parts  of this marriage.  You promise to save those who are crushed in spirit.  My spirit hurts from the deep cuts.  Save this marriage, heal my heart, restore the hope and joy in our marriage.  No, make it more full than it ever was, to begin with.  In Jesus’ name. (Psalm 34: 18) Heavenly Father, you said I could cast my burdens upon You and You will sustain me.  This hard season of marriage has lasted longer and been more painful than I ever could have imagined and I am failing.  Please take this burden and help me to not be shaken from the commitment to our marriage.  (Psalm 55:22) Holy Spirit, I am weak, hurting, and ready to give up on this whole mess of a marriage.  You said,  “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness”, but I am struggling to believe there is hope.  Take this ...

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 ...
