I love early mornings. It feels like I the only one who is awake while the others are still asleep and the world seems so quiet. I like the aroma of dawn, it brings a lot of memories; the romantic, the sweet, the miserably, the cheeriness, the doubtfulness, the blissfulness, the anxiety, and the blessedness.                                                                                    

The wet ground, dew drops on the leaves, dimness daybreak… as if took me into some moments in the past. I can recall the memories with the ones I loved, especially my mom and my sister who are in heaven now, about the places I’d visited either alone or with my family, as well as the situations I’d ever experienced.

Morning walks is one of the good moments to breath-in the dawn aroma. Walking around the neighborhoods when it was still somewhat dark makes me relax to start the day. Thanks to The Lord for allowing us living in this beautiful environment.

  

Looking back in 2010, we gratefully had a wonderful chance to make a pilgrimage journey to 16 Mother Mary caves throughout Java island. During the trip we had two-times stay in Hotel Indah, Sarangan, Magetan – East Java. There is Sarangan Lake (Telaga Sarangan) with beautiful scenery right across the hotel. The early morning is truly a fascinating view we’ve never missed.

    

Further, gladly that I have once worked in Singapore for a couple months. It wasn’t easy to find a quiet moment in this busy city. However, as I prefer to get in the office earlier, it’s quite often that I found myself being in empty train. Early mornings in Singapore is fun, I used to buy fresh-cooked food from the hawkers for my breakfast and occasionally get a cup of coffee from the coffee shop close to my office.

  

The latest visits to Singapore, we were so delighted as we may indulge the lovely early mornings in The Infinity Pool at Sands Sky Park, Marina Bay Sands. I’m really happy that my beloved mom had already enjoyed such a lovely moment.

  

Last but not least, when I got an opportunity for working visit to Germany, I enjoyed the morning drives from one location to another nearby in Schalksmuehle. Of course, it wasn’t me who drives 🙂                                                                     

The most I like when morning comes was breakfast in the hotel, I love German breads and all the spreads on the breakfast table, the smell combination of toast and coffee is totally perfect…hmmm…

  

I love early mornings, I love the days full of activities, I love the pleasant evenings, I love the relaxed nights. I thank God for all the blessed moments He lets us to perceive.
