Davin Indah Love story

This year marks our 11 years together as husband and wife. It's steel Anniversary. My hubby jokingly said for the past 11 years, our family was funded by steel industry where my hubby is still working in that industry. We have seen how God's hand and His providence are always with us. In human calculation, we don't have any much savings, we don't have any other properties. However, we are never in desperation. God always provide whatever we need comfortably. We still can go travelling, we still able to have good food, our children still have good education. And the important thing is our love is still strong and the same as we were 11 years ago. That's why we always remember this verse that was from our reading during sacrament matrimony. We celebrated in simple and intimate way as little family. We had dinner at our favourite restaurant : Brio Then on Saturday during our cell group, our cell group friends gave us a sweet surprise. We a...

Like what our friend ever said, in marriage life we need a role model that is close to us. We cannot have role model that's unreachable and untouchable so after pondering, it came to my mind that our role model in marriage are our parents. Yesterday was my parent's 38th anniversary and I did some reflection and pondering about what they have done during past 38 years. I came not from rich family, during my childhood and teens life, financial has been  the main struggle. My dad hold no proper job and my mom is a stay at home mom. However, from those challenges, I came to learn few things 1. God provides !  Even though our life is up and down, sometimes we face uncertainty and fear for tomorrow but God always provides and we survive until now 2. Be Faithful My mom has 101 reason to leave my dad because of the insecurity that my dad offers. However, she chose to stand by at my dad, yes they fight but they don't leave each other behind 3. Perseveranc...

It's such a great learning experience for me and my family. China has been progressing and advancing in very fast pace beyond my expectations except people's attitude  😜 😜 Most of the road are wide and have 4 lanes (3 lanes for cars and 1 lane for bikes and scooter) unfortunately the most dangerous ones are the bikes and scooter because they don't follow traffic rules especially in the junction and most of them seldom honking so we only can hear the tyre screeching few meters from us  🤦🏼‍♀️ When we think that Singapore has advanced, China has surpassed us.  Tips for family with young children to go to China without joining tour 1. Rent portable wifi with VPN from Changi airport or if you prefer roaming on, make sure you have installed VPN before arriving in China 2. Install google translate before hand it will help us to communicate with the locals 3. Cash is still the king,  Most of the shops are using alipay and WeChat payment but we need to...

Another  "must go" place in Shanghai is Xintiandi - Old Town of Shanghai where in 1920's the riches and tycoons lived. The building's architecture follows French and European style thus it's called French Concession. We visited The china founder's house - Dr. Sun Yat Tzen.

Oriental Pearl Tower was one of the famous landmark that associated with Shanghai, so we decided to go to the tower and see the bird's eye view of shanghai. They have glass observatory too where the floor is all glass. These are Three Great Sisters, the tallest building in Shanghai. The tallest is Shanghai Tower (the second tallest in the world after burj Khalifa), The second is Shanghai Financial Center and the third is Jinmao Tower. It's called Three sisters because they were located in each other.

At night, we had opportunity to stroll Famous Nanjing Lu stretching from the Bund until West Nanjing Lu. Some buildings were preserved as Colonnial Building, some were modern. Those mix create perfect ambience at night. The Bund was another landmark and "must go". It's like Mini Europe in the East Asia. Most the buildings are European style and when it's lit up at night, it's so beautiful. Another popular tourist spot is Lujiazhui. It's the modern skycrapers just opposite The Bund. It's a must photo spot in Shanghai. We can have Huangpu Cruise at night to enjoy the night scenery, unfortunately when we wanted to ride it, the weather forecast was not good so they cancel the cruise.

This is another highlight of our Shanghai Trip, visiting Venice of Shanghai - Zhujiajiao. It's located in Shanghai Suburb and it took 1 hour drive from city center. We engaged day tour service from Klook, however we were not fully satisfied with their service. We had very little time exploring the area. Nonetheless, it's like mesmerising our Europe trip 8 years ago to Venice, Italy. After that, we were back to city and brought to Silk Manufacturer where we could see how the silk, one of famous comodities in China was produced.
