Pre-birthday Trip to Bali (1-6 April 2022)

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.

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...

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.
