Chinese New Year Trip 2024

As usual, we went back to Jakarta for our Chinese New Year. We took evening flight and arrived around 10pm and checked in to Fairmont Hotel.

The room was very spacious and facing GBK Stadium.

We didn't know that there's a big campaign on Saturday so we planned to left hotel just before the campaign started.

In the morning, we exercised at the Fitness center and it's spacious, we loved it.

After that we had CNY lunch with our family and visiting our relatives.

We had plan to go to Bandung on the second day of CNY, unfortunately our first son was sick so we decided to cancel our plan and extended our stay at Fairmont hotel.

Thanks to hubby to pick Fairmont as it's near to shopping malls, we didn't have to worry for lunch and dinner. We could walk there otherwise we felt like quarantine hehe.

We need to return back to Singapore on Tuesday and it's traffic jam everywhere as there's a president election on Wednesday and they blocked the road for the election post.

Eventhough the trip didn't turn out as we want to be and need to cancel plans, we are still grateful as long as we are together as a family.

We arrived after midnight and reached home around 2am.

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...

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.
