Our Big Day - Morning Preparation

5 July 2008 was our BIG DAY, it was the beginning of our marriage life.

Since our family was not following Chinese Tradition, we didn't need to wake up at dawn.
However, since we planned everything by ourselves with the help of our friends, we had a lot of things in our mind that made us couldn't sleep well thinking if there were little things that're missed out.

I woke up at 7am and the make up artist arrived around 7.30am.
I got dressed up and was ready 2 hours later. on the opposite, his preparation was much simple and shorter than mine.

After that, we had this "Wedding Veil" Ceremony where my parents would cover my face with wedding veil.
This symbolised that they were ready to give me away to my future husband.
Another meaning was virginity. It symbolised that I was still pure and virgin before consuming our marriage.

On the other hand, he has the "Wedding suit" Ceremony where his parents would put on his suit symbolised that his parents were ready to let him go and start new family on his own.

We finished the preparation quite early and left the house one and half hour before our solemnization mass.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our last day in Hanoi doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to chee cheong fun but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful sticky notes left by visitors from all over the world. Their iced coconut coffee was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact! We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in.
