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

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 ...
