The Simplicity of Happiness
With the help of Bank DBS Indonesia, Izal can have a special night out with his mother.
Ever since I moved away from home, I’ve had less and less time to spend time with my mother. My mother and I used to have dinner almost every night, but now, work commitments have made me unable to do this as often as I would like. I believe that happiness is as simple as having dinner with my mother, but for her, I want to make the moment special

Being a full-time employee with a hectic work environment means that Izal often struggles to divide time between his work and spending time with loved ones. Moving away from his childhood home has also resulted inmore time away from his mother, Titin. That is why he dreams of doing something special for her. By teaming up with Bank DBS Indonesia, he created a memorable night out for his mother, turning an ordinary dinner to a moment worth remembering.
As an employee in a creative agency, Izal has long wanted to spare some time to reconnect with his mother. Before moving away from home, he used to be very close to his mother and now wishes to relive their good times together. According to him, happiness is as simple as having a nice night out with his mother and his loved ones.
To make up for the lost time, Izal wants to pamper his mother and wishes to arrange a night out that they have never experienced before.
After taking some time out of his hectic schedule, Izal, together with Bank DBS Indonesia, threw a surprise dinner and gift for his mother.
The night began with Izal’s visit to his mother’s house in Bekasi to have valuable quality time. Afterwards, DBS arranged a memorable night out for Izal and his mother, including dinner in a fine dining restaurant that offers a unique and special experience for the family, as well as a beautiful gold necklace as a surprise gift for Izal’s mother.
“I’ve always been close to Izal, especially because he is the youngest of all his siblings. I was so surprised and elated when he came over, because he rarely has time to spend with me. As a mother, I have to understand and give him time to develop his career, no matter how much I miss him. That’s why tonight was very special to me” – Titin Sekartini, Izal’s mother.
Izal’s wish to spend more time with his mother is no longer just a dream. By showing Izal that happiness is actually a simple gesture, Izal can see how important it is to spend more time with his mother and to develop a stronger relationship with his family.
Tonight was definitely memorable and special for my mother and I. We shared all the joy, sadness, and surprise, and it has brought us closer together. The whole day, from the time spent at her house, to the dinner and the gift, proved to us that happiness is as simple as spending time with our loved ones. Thanks to DBS, we found out that a simple act could become an extraordinary gift for our family
