Davin Indah Love story

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.

As my mind was wandering between faith and doubt, I stumbled upon this post in Instagram and I feel  that God's speaking to me and giving me the comfort and encouragement. Learn from Joseph - The First CEO in the Bible 1. Gen 37 : 5 "Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers, and they hated him evermore." Reflection : God often gives us dream even before we're ready to carry it. Every great destiny begins with a dream... Joseph didn't yet have the wisdom to handle the dream with humility. He shared it with pride and it provoked envy and strife. Often it's not the dream that disappoints, it's the maturity of the one carrying it. A gift without character can stir pride, but when refined, it becomes the very thing God uses to elevate us.  Joseph's dream once stirred conflict but years later, the same gift of dream interpretation that positioned him before kings. 2. Gen 37 : 23 - 26 "They stripped him of his robe ...and threw him into t...

After returning from a retreat on a private island and reading the book  "Surrounded by Setbacks,"  I made a decision — it's time to take real action to become a better version of myself. The past three years have been a rollercoaster, especially when it comes to my health and career. I’ve wanted to change, but I was overwhelmed by too many goals, trying to accomplish everything all at once. That approach left me stuck, disappointed, and filled with self-doubt. Now, I’ve chosen to take a different path — breaking my big goals into smaller, achievable steps that can motivate me to keep moving forward. The first area I’m focusing on is  Health  — something within my control and the foundation for everything else. For the last three years, I haven’t taken care of my body the way it deserves. I exercised regularly and went to the gym, but I didn’t pay attention to what I ate — and as we all know, nutrition plays a major role in shaping our health. I’ve tried dieting befo...

So here we go—another unexpected drama during our short getaway at Telunas. It started out well. Since this was our only holiday in a while, we wanted to make the most of it—reconnect with nature, with each other, and with ourselves. My husband mentioned beforehand that there would be no internet in the rooms, with only limited WiFi access at the reception lobby. I thought,  Perfect.  A break from routines, screens, and distractions. A real chance to unplug—and great for the kids, too. I even packed a few nice, sexy outfits. I wanted to be intentional about making memories and rekindling intimacy. Day One  went smoothly. Then came  Day Two —and with it, an unexpected shift. That afternoon, while the kids were at their 2-hour pottery session, I was looking forward to some uninterrupted couple time. Just the two of us. The plan was simple: relax, talk, enjoy the sea breeze from our room—and yes, maybe some intimacy by the sea. It sounded beautiful in my head. But reali...

After the raft-building session, I returned to my room and took some time to reflect on the valuable life lessons I had just experienced—and how they apply to the real world. The Objective The goal of the activity was clear: Build a raft using bamboo poles and barrels. Ensure it’s strong and stable enough to carry passengers to a designated point. Return safely to shore. Disassemble the raft back to its original components: just bamboo and barrels. None of us had any experience in raft building—or even scouting—so we all started from zero. The instructor provided some guidance with clear, step-by-step instructions: Show us a miniature model of the completed raft. Demonstrate how to tie knots securely to hold the bamboo together. Emphasize that the string should be wet to prevent it from breaking in water. Ensure each barrel is positioned to float and supported by two bamboo poles. Begin from the outer frame, measure the barrels, and then tie the inner sections. Was Everyone Listening? ...

This was one of the best holidays we’ve had—everything was fully sponsored by my husband’s company. We hadn’t planned any trips for June because both kids needed to prepare for their final-year exams. But thankfully, my husband’s company organized a Family Day at  Telunas Private Island . It was our first time visiting a private island, and we were beyond excited. Our journey began with a ferry ride from HarbourFront to Sekupang, Batam. From there, we continued by speedboat to Telunas Resort. Each leg of the trip took about an hour. We arrived just in time for lunch and were treated to a delicious three-course set menu: Thai beef salad as the appetizer, prawn balado with steamed rice for the main course, and Thai mango sticky rice for dessert. After lunch, we headed to our villa for some free-and-easy time. The kids chose to fish from the balcony. After nearly two hours of patience and excitement, they caught four fish and asked the kitchen to cook them for dinner. Since the weathe...

I t’s been a month since our official launch. We haven’t had any bookings or try-on appointments yet—but I’ve learned a lot already. Here are some of my key takeaways so far 1. Battling Self-Doubt Yes, self-doubt started to creep in. I kept asking myself:  Is there something wrong with me? Is it the pricing, the website, the social media? Why isn’t this moving the way I expected? At one point, I even started imagining the worst-case scenario, which led to a mini intervention from my husband. He reminded me—firmly but lovingly—that setbacks are part of the journey and not a reason to quit. When I chose to start this business, I knew it wouldn’t be easy. There’s no turning back—I just need to find what works. 2. Finding Comfort in a Book One day, while shopping at Popular for our kids’ holiday practice books, I stumbled upon a title that caught my eye:  Surrounded by Setbacks.  It felt like the universe was speaking directly to me, so I picked it up. Now I read it every mor...
