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...

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
