Second 9 days Petition journey - 54 days novena

The message for second milestone of 9 days journey is purification.

Day 10 - 10 October

It's our youngest's birthday and I need to travel to Jakarta for company workshop. It took 1.5 days and I felt good bashing my CEO and COO with lots of questions. These are not to corner them but to wake them up how's the market right now and whether our products and commercial term fit the market.

In the evening, I have project assignment for my sustainability course and everything turns well.

Day 11 - 11 October

Another full day workshop in office and apparently one of colleagues shares with me what struggles and stress she feels right now due to micromanage and rigid clocking. I totally understand her as I feel the same. I don't even know who this company anymore, the culture has changed and so does the value. I really want to help her but I don't have any power and authority, I feel so helpless

Day 12 - 12 October

I make friends with 2 new joiners from different team as they are apparently sitting next to me. Talking with them, listening to them open up our vulnerability and I feel connected with them. This is culture that I know, respect and appreciate people and understand their feeling and vulnerability. But it seems with the fast growth, it's all gone

Day 13 - 13 October

Flying back to Singapore and in the evening the CEO messages us about new company strategy to ramp up since we are merging with another company. The good things are buying time and I have more "kakis" to do sales. She's a nice girl and I love to impart my skills to her so when I am leaving, it doesn't disrupt the process.

Day 14 - 14 October

It's mom's birthday, I learn a lot from her to be steadfast and stand still during adversity.  I want to have quality time with hubby but ends up going out with friends and I don't feel excited about it.



Day 15 - 15 October

What if questions and confusion. Hubby agrees to accompany me to the conscious market festival and at night we watch our of Lady of Fatima and praying Rosary together.



Day 16 - 16 October

Travel for business trip and able to pour out my thoughts to the CEO, and I feel good about it

Day 17 - 17 October

I feel tired and overwhelmed with my works, feel under pressure to think about pipelines, my BCG courses, my circular economy projects

Day 18 - 18 October

Attending Tech in Asia and feel good and positive meeting old clients and friends, my prospect business partner and self pamper

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

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...

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. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
