Working from home has become somewhat like the new norm. I enjoy the privilege of being able to go for morning walks with the mother and doing evening workouts with the geng. However, I do miss the lunch hangout sessions, meeting with the colleagues, being sent home by my love and yes, the office space. 

Been blessed nevertheless to be able to spend time with my family and Dal which has made the 'movement control' bearable.

While there's less restriction now, I can't help but think about the sad state of our nation's politics and economic situation. A far cry indeed from what I anticipated when we celebrated the new government in 2018. 

2020 is turning out to be quite a year. A first of many things. 

  • Work from home as the new norm
  • Spending more time with the family
  • 1st Valentine celebration
  • Doing daily devotions with my best friend
  • National borders are closed
  • Online Church
  • Online Classes
  • Online CG and meet ups
  • Petrol price goes down but cost of goods goes up
  • 1st time in my career being officially a people manage
I'm sure there's more but let the move of God continue to sweep through the nations. 

Dal and I cooked for Mother's Day. We may have gone a little overboard with the spice level. Dal tried cooking dhal and chicken sambal all on his own. Yummy it was!

My first attempt at Cinnamon roll. Was a success!

Special delivery that came early in the morning on 5.6.20 Best Birthday gift of the year =) He's second attempt at cooking! Yummy =)

Thank you dear

What a bummer... what was supposed to be 2 weeks is now more than 1 month but I am really glad that we spend sweet moments right before MCO started and there's still technology to keep us connected. Interestingly, what we have learned in Pre-Marriage Course about Communication is tested right after learning about it. It has been challenging how we can communicate even when we are not able to meet each other in person. For me it has been good, it has forced me to be a better listener. With Zoom and Whatsapp it forces only one person to speak every time. We also learn how to share with each other and keep each other in on our lives through out this period. Putting aside my disappointment of another MCO extension, the ups of this MCO in terms of relationship are I get to do spend more time with him and also I get to do more things with him. We worked on fundraising and shopping for refugees, we work out together, we do daily devotions, I have done a sort of a videolog for him, I learned how to cook the Dinshaw's Curry Chicken, I get to know him more, hear his and be apart of his 2 songs, we worked on a song together to bless the Christian community, we watched movie together (yes! that's possible 'Jesus' an awesome musical!), I get to go for CG with him, we have explored "churches" together, he has joined me for SPTC worship, we get to do daily workouts together. I must say though that looking back, this MCO is a blessing in disguise. I am praying that it will really end... I do want to be out of the house. I want to go hikes together with him, do our outdoor exercise, go for eating adventures and perhaps to finally do gym together. 


Face Mask for Hospital Ampang and Red Crescent. I now know Tailor and Stationary Suppliers. Quite an adventure

I'm not the only one trying new things this MCO. My dear is also learning how to cook! Whoo hooo!! So proud of him. The Sambal Chicken looks so goood. 

I love our daily workout sessions. It is quite funny to watch the funny antics. hahaha... 

Zoom meetings. Thank God for technology. I should schedule more meet ups to stay in touch with friends and colleagues. Maybe I should make intentional meet ups. Friendship is important! 

My daily set-up after work. It helps me slow down my growing waistline. :(

Mummy's harvest! She's getting use to this and I must say doing a great job!

The face I look forward to. I thank God for this man that lights up my world. The next picture says it all. Thanks for cheering up with my go to snacks and Yoko Yoko and the lovely e-card =)


CG in the midst of MCO


Finally out of the house after 23 days locked in. Day 24 of MCO or was it Day 25? 

Thankful that we could do a video. May we stay united even through the MCO

What I have realised during this MCO period, is that it is really easy to become self absorbed and self centered since we are cut off from the world but God calls us to be the light of the world. He ask us to be the salt of the earth. So while we are at home, it doesn't mean we should be inward looking but we should continue to reach out to show love, give home and bring joy. Not forgetting those closest to us and building relationship as at the end of the day, nothing matters other than eternity and relationship with people.

God count me in, in the things You are doing. Give me a willing heart to be used by You and cleanse me so that I can be a vessel that can be used by You. Let me run to and run for what really matters!

We may be km away from each other but our hearts are connected. 
My heart is indeed full. Bless to be loved by a Godly man who is tender hearted, smart, talented, loving, understanding and supportive. I'm honoured and privileged.💕

Life is filled with suprises. Some brings a thrill to your heart while others strikes fear. Mine has been filled with both but God has been gracious. He has been good, very goood in fact. His mercies never fail. How great is my God.

I'm still learning how to balance time. How to cope with Bible College, Professional Certification, leading and managing a new team (from a sole contributor to leading a team of professionals 🙈), ministry, family and relationship. All of which has been a tremendous blessing to me but still requires attention and time. Sometimes I wish I was more efficient...
