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.

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 ...
