Davin Indah Love story

Last Saturday, after our prayer meeting, we took a quick trip to JB for dinner and to pump petrol. On the way, my husband suddenly turned to me and said something that truly touched my heart — he felt supported, lighter, and that I had changed for the better as a wife and mother. Even though I haven’t contributed much materially to the household, he said he feels  at home  whenever he’s home — and for that, he’s deeply grateful. I believe this is the power of prayer and perseverance. Over the past 10 months, God has been molding and shaping me. I’m a tough piece of clay — strong-willed, rebellious — and it hasn’t been an easy process. It’s been painful as God stripped away my ego and pride, leaving me with nothing of my own. But through that brokenness, I’ve learned to be humble, to expect less, and to trust more — knowing that God is always present, always providing, even when we can’t see it yet. The business hasn’t picked up yet — but I’ve already surrendered it fully to Go...

Happy Blessed Birthday, Francis — our beloved second Godson! We had the joy of celebrating Francis' birthday with his family and catching up after three months apart. Seeing him grow healthy and smarter is such a blessing, even though we haven't been deeply involved in his early years. Still, we feel a deep sense of warmth and are grateful to share a second family with them here. May God bless Francis as he grows — with good health, wisdom, and a heart that brings blessings to others.

Last week was such a fruitful one. Bit by bit, I feel like I’m gaining more clarity. And by the grace of God, I’ve been learning to surrender more deeply—especially to His perfect timing. On Saturday, 19 July, something beautiful happened: we had our  very first customer  come for a try-on and book their winter gear for a trip next January! When I asked how they found us, they said, “From search engines.” That moment truly touched me. Even if it's just one customer right now, I believe every customer is a gift from God—an affirmation that I’m walking on the path He’s prepared for me. As I promised, I will give the profit from my first sale back to God. I’m now praying and waiting for His direction—to know who or where He wants me to bless with it. But more than this first sale, the real breakthrough this week has been internal— my mindset. God has been speaking to me profoundly through Pastor Rick Warren’s sermons. The more I listen, the more it feels like God is speaking dire...

Lately, I’ve been asking myself a hard question: Am I really useful? When doors close and things don’t go according to plan, I can’t help but wonder— Is there something wrong with me? I’ve been struggling with this sense of worthlessness, especially because I’m not contributing financially to the household. And when our monthly income keeps bleeding, it feels like I’m just... failing. I've even started thinking about the tough decisions we might need to make if things stay the same. Three in particular: 1. Letting go of our helper Logically, I know I  can  manage. I’ve taken care of the kids on my own for 12 years—from babies to now—and I know how to run the household. Letting go of our helper would save a significant amount every year. But something doesn’t sit right in my heart. She’s been nothing but responsible, kind, and reliable. She’s never done anything wrong. And just because I don’t “need” her anymore, it feels cruel to simply let her go. It's not fair. 2. Letting go...

Last Friday became an unexpected recollection day for me. I didn’t plan it, but somehow it turned into one of those light and peaceful days when I wasn’t preoccupied with work and instead focused on caring for my soul. It all started at the gym. I was watching an interview on the  Heaven & Earth  podcast featuring John Kim, a Christian investor, who shared how he practices discernment in every investment decision—even when it doesn't make logical sense. His deep trust in God’s guidance struck a chord with me. From there, I was led to another video—this time a sermon by Rick Warren about surrendering control to God and praying,  “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  As I listened, it felt like God was revealing His answers to me. One statement pierced through my heart: It resonated so deeply. Lately, I’ve felt like God has been quiet, that doors are closing, and I’m left wondering where He is. But maybe this silence isn’t absence—it’s a test. A test of ...

This was hubby's first business trip to Germany and Romania, where he accompanied his clients to meet the manufacturers and visit the headquarters. The trip went smoothly overall, except for a brief scare when one of the clients nearly lost their passport—it was accidentally left on the previous flight. Thankfully, it was quickly recovered and didn’t disrupt the overall schedule. Despite two months of careful planning, there was an unfortunate experience with one of the manufacturers. They seemed to underestimate the importance of the visit and did not offer a proper welcome, which left a poor impression on the clients. Thankfully, this didn’t affect hubby’s relationship with them, as he went above and beyond in providing hospitality and ensuring they were well taken care of. Lessons learned from this trip: The customer is king.  First impressions matter—treat them with genuine care and hospitality, and they’ll remember you for it. True character is revealed in the face of unexpect...

We celebrated our wedding anniversary over three wonderful days! Friday  was our couple date. We started the day with a fun game of pickleball at the court just below our home—free, unlimited play, and a great workout! After that, we had lunch at  Pizz@  in Johor Bahru. The food was delicious, reasonably priced, and the host was warm and welcoming. While I indulged in a relaxing massage, my husband caught up on some work as he patiently waited for   me to finish. That evening, we drove back to Singapore with smooth traffic, just in time to attend the  Bulletproof Marriage  talk by Paul Kim. It was a great refresher and affirmation that we’ve been walking the right path in our marriage. We ended the night with supper and renewed our marriage covenant—what a meaningful close to the day. We’re incredibly grateful for this simple celebration. No fancy restaurants, no glamorous outfits, and maybe not the most "Instagrammable" content—but it was filled with genui...

As our marriage turns 17 this year, I’d like to take this moment to reflect on the journey we’ve shared—and how it is only by God’s grace that we’ve been able to walk this path together. We started with nothing. Slowly, we built our home, our careers, and what little wealth we now have. God entrusted us with three beautiful boys. With minimal help from our parents, we raised and nurtured them on our own. Now, as they grow, we begin to see the fruits slowly blooming. This year, we celebrated simply—no fancy dinners, no fashionable outfits. Just the two of us enjoying each other’s company. Sometimes, less truly is more. No pressure to be “Instagrammable”—and yes, budgeting played a part too. Since I’m no longer working and not contributing financially, we have to be more mindful about our spending. In the past few months, I’ve struggled with discouragement. I couldn’t secure a job, and even the business I poured myself into has yet to show results. I felt like a failure, filled with self...

After 3 weeks of cutting fats, there's a small achievement that I can pat back myself. Weight : 51.4kg Body fat : 28.8% Waist : 72cm Visceral fat : 4 They are still in high side but the waist is down by 2cm which is showing the result. I am going to do another 2 weeks to cut the fats and perhaps more carbs and see if it works for my body. I keep exercise the same with 3x cardio and 2x weight training in a week.
