I’m an Indonesian and was born in Jakarta.

I spent some 9 good years in Perth, Western Australia, before coming to Singapore after I graduated from Curtin University with a Bachelor of Commerce in Marketing and Finance.

By now I’ve been in Singapore for the past 9 years.

I’m happily married to Wilson, who’s passionate about photography, design and tennis amongst many other things.

I’m a happy Mommy of two : a big girl named Anya and a little boy named Vai.

As a Christian, I feel the blessings showered upon me is way beyond what I can ever imagine. God is good and faithful. Too good for a person like me, I feel.

I attend an Indonesian service at Reformed Evangelical Church Singapore (Gereja Reformed Injili Indonesia Singapura), and I’m grateful for the ministry opportunities, fellowships as well as its strong biblical teachings that have helped a lot in nurturing my spiritual growth, understanding and devotion to God.

I feel it’s a huge honour to be entrusted by God with little ones. But I realise I’m far from perfect, and so other than the Bible and those many life-enriching sermons I’ve received so far, I also try to gain more insights and inspirations from reading parenting books - christian ones mostly - as well as insightful sites online. Tips and inputs from friends help a lot too!

Life with children is full of ups and downs. And though the experience of raising these little ones has been bittersweet, reaching out to the world with a pro-family message has always been my passion.

I would like the world to see how life is beautiful, how children are precious gifts from God, how being a parent is a privilege, how every challenge we face each day builds and shapes our character, how everyday is a blessing from above.

On this site, I share the ups and downs of motherhood, arts and crafts ideas, parenting tips and regular food for thought posts.

I shoot, I write and I share what I’ve learned and experienced. Definitely not because I myself have mastered life, but because I still have so much to discover that I must continually humble myself and learn.

I know I need to learn to be a better a person everyday, to always be thankful for the things I get to experience in life. And I hope that through this site, I can share with the world how precious and beautiful our life is and how wonderful our everyday things can be.

.Photography works on this site.
Almost all of the photos on this blog are taken by me (unless both my hands are clearly visible in the photo!)

I shoot with my Canon Ixus 850 IS, and occasionally, with my husband’s Nikon D200. I love his 50mm Nikon lens.

I shared more about photography and the cameras I use HERE.

…

.my contributions elsewhere.

I’m a Guest Blogger at Thinkfamily.sg - a portal under Singapore’s National Family Council that promotes family life.

I contribute my photography works to Mother and Baby Indonesia

I support and work with the teams from Focus on the Family Singapore and I love Children.

…

.work & business.
In my first few years in Singapore, I worked in the service industry. Mainly doing events, magazines, public relations and marketing. Now, my husband and I run our own business.

We’re in the creative industry, producing works for advertising, film and television - online as well as print. We do creative concepts, graphic designs, visual effects works, 3D as well as animations.

Do drop me an email if you’d like to find out more about what we do.

.hometown.
I was born in Jakarta and we visit the city once or twice a year.

Though I feel it may not be the safest city on earth (especially compared to Singapore!), we both have our families there, and the food is just excellent! Lots of yummy desserts too!
