Declutter !

As I've been approaching the last miles of my career, I feel that there are many opportunities out there that looks lucrative. However, I am not sure which ones are really meant for me as I only can see the top of the iceberg.

Currently, I am taking sustainability course with BCG Rise as I want to dive deeper into this. It's not because of the trend, but more on personal advocate to create social impact to the people and environment.

Meanwhile these are some opportunities that I could see :

1. Work for people

- Joining competitor whom I respect the founder from his own story, insights and sharing that inspiring me

Pros : I can adapt quickly as I know the product roughly, tap into my networks and have a chance to grow their business faster as I could see that their products are simple, less complicated and suited to the market

Cons : I can't join directly as I have non competition clause for 3 months and it's more on the ethical point of view that the earliest I can join will be end of Q1 and update my LinkedIn after Q2.

- Joining marketplace apps whom I know the founder and it seems that he needs help to grow at Indo market

Pros : Early start up, things can be tweaked and pivoted according to market needs and tap into my network and knowledge, I may be able to help the business grow faster 

Cons : As it's an early start up, I am not sure if they have budget to offer me as the current company pays

2. Venture into new business (sustainability and circular economy related)

- Set up company branch/holding from existing Indonesia partner's entity (Reverse Vending Machine or 2nd hand furniture business)

Pros : Exciting journey, something that I always want to do, exponential personal growth and learning curve as I will learn a lot during the journey

Cons : The stake is high, need to have cofounder who is more experienced and the same value and mission, a lot of planning and preparation that will take my time and energy

I really want to go into stage 2 as that's my dream to have something on my own that I can contribute fully all my knowledge, experiences, network to make a social impact.

The question is am I ready ? or shall I work for early start up first to see how it goes before jumping into the ocean and start swimming there ?

Let see how the things unveiled.

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 ...
