Two days before my 36th birthday, I received some “bad” news from my hubby — his contract will be ending this month, six months earlier than expected.
At first, it felt unsettling. The unknown always does. But at the same time, deep in my heart, I felt peace… and even joy.
For so long, he has been in a job he didn’t truly enjoy. Maybe this early ending is not a loss, but a release. A door closing so that better ones can open. I’m grateful he can finally take a break, breathe, and hopefully find time for himself — to rest, to dream again, to rediscover what makes him come alive.
Next month, we’re heading to Turkey for a month! And the biggest joy — Mum and Dad will be there too. I still can’t believe we will see each other again so soon after our wedding, just seven months later. What a blessing! My heart is already counting down the days. ✈️
On my birthday morning, hubby treated himself to a massage at Lan Beauty. We were running late, so sadly I didn’t get mine. But the day still unfolded beautifully. We had dim sum and wandered around First Markham Place, soaking in the busy, lively atmosphere. Later, we went to Go Place — it was so crowded! Yet God’s mercy truly shines in the smallest details. A staff member named Karen kindly helped us and even gave me a birthday massage pass and two free drinks. I felt so seen and cared for.
Thirty-six feels different.
This year, I pray for miracles — especially the quiet miracle in my belly. May God grant us a little “bubu” and gently lead us into parenthood. I don’t know what this year will bring — new jobs, new journeys, new challenges — but I know Who walks with us.
And that is enough.
Here’s to faith over fear.
Here’s to unexpected blessings.
Here’s to 36. 💛
