4th Business Trip for this year (4 - 9 March 2024) - Happy International Women's Day


This is one of the most hectic trips which I had high stress level as we were preparing our second own event celebrating International Women's Day.
The challenges are the company hands off so I prepared this alone with one and my only one team and representative from other organization, WeConnect International.



We initiated this event end of February and just less than 1.5 months we made it happen.
My company challenged me if I didn't get any sponsorship, just aborted the plan.
I almost gave up but with encouragement from the counter part, we did the best.

There are many adjustment from the ideation until execution and there are many hiccups that I need to do damage control and staying late and slept after midnight.
I left my family and kids behind even though they were sick at home.

I cried every night and told God that I couldn't do it anymore if You don't help me. Everything is not under my control.












Thanks God the event went well, the participants were so happy and very inspired by the speakers we invited.
As I thought I can pat myself and proud to myself, one of colleagues who did nothing stole the limelight, announced to the whole world that it's her project and as if she's the one initiated and leading it.
It really disgusted and turned me off. I told myself, she already lost my respect.

If she announced it under company's account, then I am fine but she announced it under her own LinkedIn with her pictures and only few guests that was invited by her and still said thank you to the sponsors and speakers even though she never knew these guys.

I was so pissed off with her attitude and behaviour.

I tried to let go and told myself, it's alright. She may claim all the glory but people will know the truth.

Anyway, I was so grateful that everything was went well and when I came back home, the kids and hubby missed me so much. They told a lot of stories and behave so well.

Nothing is more important than my family !

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...

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.

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 ...
