Fighting Spirit


This past few weeks, I have been fighting and racing against time.

It's actually office matters, it's secondary priority in my life after my family however it's my responsibility in my work.

In the past 2 months, I have been searching for this new home for our team. It's not an easy task, I have been viewing almost 50 units, strolling back and forth around Tanjong Pagar and Raffles area until I remember the road, the street along the stretch of tall building.

I made friends with few property agents, met strangers and became friends.

The requirements of the new office have been changed now and then as we want to get the best unit.

In the end, we found one according to our needs and liking. However, the challenges didn't stop there.

We raced against the time as we had only 2 weeks to complete everything before moving in.

I needed to find the contractors to do minor renovation while the company didn't allocate any budget for renovation. I needed to give facts finding to convince the management while sourcing for the contractor who could do the work faster with minimal budget.

Nevertheless, even we already found one, another challenge came up. We need to make sure that electricity are fire safety are according to the standard requirements.

The management only wants to sign the agreement if everything is working well. 

Juggling and convincing different parties involved are not easy tasks.

Nobody knows what I have been going through except God, myself and my husband.

Everyday since this project starts I have been praying and fasting, consecrating this new office to God even though I didn't know where this place will be.

Everyday I have been praying for those people whom I met and will meet along the journey, I bless each of them even though we may not have the opportunity to work together.

Everyday I pray for daily Grace to help and strengthen me especially for the impossible tasks given

Everyday I pray for God's wisdom for every decision I need to make and every step I need to take

Everyday I pray for the higher management, whom I believe is God's chosen ones whom I need to submit to them so that they are inspired by Holy Spirit and guided by His wisdom

Indeed, through this complicated journey, I only can say that God works wonder through me and everyone I meet.

He puts the right people in the right place and in the right time.

The fight has not over yet, but I believe once God has started His work, He will finish it perfectly in His appointed time.


Eventhough I feel burdened and couldn't sleep well this past few days, I always believe that He's will me and will never leave me alone.

One sweet proof is this WA message from one of the vendors I meet, strangers become consoler. It gives me a courage and conviction to do what I'm supposed to do, to bless other people.


We are blessed to bless others so that the others who receive our blessing will bless others too and it creates multiplier effect.

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in. 

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
