Fifth 9 days Thanksgiving journey - 54 days Novena

The theme for this week is THE SIGN


Day 37 - 6 November

Coming back to office feel my life so dull, dragging my feet, everyone is busy, no conversation and just heard that one of colleagues last day but the management just don't care and treat people like commodity. I feel uncomfortable so I message him, asking and wish him well.

Day 38 - 7 November

I heard 3 colleagues resigned, one of the C-level which the last day will be this Friday, one from legal and one from risk team and the last days will be on December. People are resigning from the company as they are not treated with respect and value. They just like commodity to do works. It's been expected. The question is when is my time to tender the resignation letter ? Today I work from home as 3 of my colleagues down with covid, I feel so good.

Day 39 - 8 November

A taste of like that I want, today I am work from home as I want to have a taste what life that I've been dreaming of. Starting my morning with prayer and going to gym for exercise, I feel so good to see familiar faces who're going to gym constantly then coming back home start my works. During lunch time, I go to church for 25mins lunch time mass and then having lunch at home. Then I continue working again. It's kinda dynamic and never dull. Something that I've been longing for but don't know when will I get my life back


Day 40 - 9 November

Decide to work from office and spend my morning time going to the gym with our eldest son. I feel so good after exercise, it's the life that I have been longing for. Then in the evening met with BCG mates and share about my new ventures, there's a partner in BCG that's interested in supporting me. Returning home receive the good news that our middle and youngest ones are receiving awards.


Day 41 - 10 November

Going to the gym in the morning and feel so good and energetic. Reaching office and seeing my COO is already there and I feel sick when my head of finance bootlicking him. Anyway I just do my works the best I could do, there's a deal opportunity with my BCG mate and see if that happens. In the evening, we had family dinner at Sweechoon

Day 42 - 11 November

Dropping my kids and hubby to badminton, Garden by the bay and seminar and having me time to self care at gym then in the afternoon serving FB as Worship leader and spending my evening with friends at JB

Day 43 - 12 November

Going for Sunday mass and parent's meeting for altar boys and in the afternoon, hubby and the boys serving Indo mass led by our spiritual priest when we went to Holyland.


Day 44 - 13 November

Today is deevapali holiday, trying winter coat and going to our god daughter's birthday. Since Indo is not holiday, I am still "working" replying the message and heard that one of ex - colleague return back to us.


Day 45 - 14 November

The last day of fifth 9 days thanksgiving journey and our CEO came to office today and sit next to me and He asked me to plan for the official launch of Nikel Academy. I was excited as it's my core strength.

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 ...
