Word cannot express how grateful I am to be nominated for Her World’s The Most Powerful Woman Award 2012. The award is organized by Her World Magazine to pay tribute to women for the work and dedication to career, family and society; Someone who is inspirational and can be a role model for others.
Other nominees for this year award were outstanding women of Indonesia like Susi Susanti, Agnes Monica, Najwa Shihab, and many others. (you can read more details about this on Her World’s Magazine, Aug 2012)
The awards night was held at the Grand Hyatt Hotel, Central Jakarta, on Friday night (6/7). I purposely flew from Singapore just to attend this special event. And my husband was so kind to let me invite my parents to accompany me instead :) Here are some moments captured

Oh yah, I forgot to mention, the head judge of the Most Powerful Woman Award 2012 was Mrs. Christine Hakim. She was so lovely and very down to earth. It was really a pleasure to get a chance to know Mrs. Christine Hakim personally (my mom was so excited because she is a huge fan of her)
Me, my mom and Mrs. Christine Hakim
So happy I can make my mom and dad proud :)
I thank God for every single blessing that He has given me. And I thank you for all your support and friendship all these while.
It was a really lovely night, I was so excited that I couldn’t wait to go back home and share this joy and pride with my lovely husband and 2 of my precious children.
Thank you Her World for Most Powerful Women Award 2012
For me ‘Powerful Woman’ is a woman who is truly passionate about her life, proud of who she is, loves God and loves her family, and can create a positive impact to the life of others.
I dedicate this award for all women out there.
Life as a woman is meaningful, fun, challenging, exciting and rewarding.
So … Enjoy every moment of it
