Last weekend, our cell group did collaboration with PDKK Gratia from Jakarta. We were hosting this online retreat for young couples in Singapore.

Unveiled our cooking talents

Blessing in disguise Like everybody else, this Circuit Breaker unveiled our hidden talents that we never realise it before because we have no time to explore.

Life begins at 38

1st April is not April's Fool Day but April's Fun Day which my life as stay at home mom has changed. My status is now working mom. I was looking forward to dress nicely, taking public transport to the office building and doing something that I love. Thanks to Coronavirus, my transition from stay at home to working mum has been very smooth. I only spent half day in the office discussing and setting up with CEO and spent the rest of the day at home zooming call with my COO. And for the rest of the weeks, I will be working from home and having flexibility in managing my time. I have been given a list of projects to start off with and busy with the first project to create booster pack for the team who are working from home.

Learning new musical instrument - ukulele

When I did spring cleaning at storage room, I found this ukulele that I bought for my son. Since I bought wrong color, he didn't want to use it.

Godly Women Retreat on January 2017

2 years ago, he has attended a retreat Pria Sejati Katolik (Catholic True Man) and since then he has changed to be a better one. He's more responsible and hands on with household chores and the best part is he leads our family's faith closer to God. He encouraged me to go for Wanita Diberkati Katolik (Godly Women Retreat) since last year but I couldn't attend since I had the youngest one who was still breastfed at that time, therefore after he was no longer breastfed and there was an opportunity, I took a courage to leave all kids behind under his and my mother's care for 5 days 4 nights. It was a fruitful retreat, it changed my paradigm about my call as a wife and mother. How I should submit to husband and how I should give a life to this family and support my husband. Hopefully our family is getting stronger in faith and become a blessing to other people surrounding us.
