Remember that I was broken heart because the cruise was cancelled. Amazingly, God has better plan indeed and the best thing is I am able to travel to overseas and fully sponsored by company.
It's 5 nights and I am able to enjoy my "me" time without needing to think what's next.
Yes, it's been a hectic week prior to departure as my boss just decided that we go to bali 10 days before departure date and I need to think from A - Z where to stay, the master plan, place to eat, etc.
However, when I landed in Bali, I feel so much younger haha... can enjoy my own sweet time.
Thanks Jesus for the birthday gift.
Day 1 - 1 April
It's not April mop, it feels surreal to be able to fly again. Watching House of Gucci while enjoying my super simple dinner at SQ
Waiting for PCR and VOA, it's a smooth sailing, everything only takes 30 - 40 mins.
My first meal in Bali which is suckling pig.
The hotel I stay is Courtyard by Marriott, it's so comfy and homy. The size and design are perfect for me and it's facing the pool too
Day 2 - 2 April
Rise and shine, having my regular quiet time and praying then I head to gym for my exercise. It feels so good that I can have my own sweet time without need to rush.
After gym, then I enjoy my healthy breakfast. The portion is just enough for me.
After showering then I do some selfies in balcony haha...
Then I met with fellow team for bbq lunch, it's so good to meet them face to face.
Then after that, it's time to burn all the calories and we had team bonding at hotel roof top. It's scorching hot but it didn't defer the the fun. We had 3 games and it's so much fun filled with laughter. To close the hot day, I decided to dip into the pool afterwards while sipping pinnacolada.
It's time to get wild in the night, we had dinner at Motel Mexicola for some mexican food and continued with party until I reached 10K steps hahahha.... It's definitely a night to remember, things that I never be able to do before when I was young. For a moment, I forgot that I had family hahaha...
Day 3 - 3 April
I woke up as usual and attended the online mass first before starting the day, then continue with usual regime which is GYM and only do 40 mins, upper body workout before heading for breakfast. Then, I went for 150 mins spa, it felt so good, relaxing and rejuvenated.
Then, another beach party at Finns Beach club till the night.
Day 4 - 4 April
It's working day and we get a bit more serious for today. I started my day with gym as usual to revitalise and recharge my body and mind.
Then we have morning and afternoon workshops and lunch in between at Kilo.
The food was good, appetizing, and delicious.
After afternoon workshop, we caught sunset at Jimbaran while enjoying bbq seafood.
It's amazing, things that I have been missing for 2 years.
Day 5 - 5 April
Today is another fun day, we play hard and work hard. We did white rafting in the morning, having local Bali food Bebek tepi sawah and continue with afternoon workshop.
Day 6 - 6 April
Last day of the vacation, things that I will miss a lot is freedom to be who I am.
For 6 days, I just feel so alive, I don't need to serve anyone day and night. I can spend the time as much as I can to do the things that I love. No rushing, just chill.
This is one of the best trips I ever had in my life and the best of birthday gift from God that I can't thank enough for His great blessings.
Today's mood is this song. SINCE I FOUND YOU I think of you in everything that i do To be with you what ever it takes i'll do Cause you my love, you all my heart desires You've lighten up my life forever i'm alive Since i found you my world seems so brand new You've show me the love i never knew Your presence has spark my whole life through Since i found you my life begin so new Now who needs a dream when there is you For all of my dreams came true Since i found you Your love shines bright Through all the corners of my heart Maybe you are my dearest heart I give you all i have my heart, my soul, my life My destiny is you Forever true... i'm so in love with you Since i found you my world seems so brand new You've show me the love i never knew Your presence has spark my whole life through Since i found you my life begin so new Now who needs a dream when there is you For all of my dreams came true Since i found you My heart fo...
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.
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...
