Benvenuto Italy ( March 2011 )

Our last destination was Italy. We took a train from Interlaken to Venice.
When we arrived at Venice, the look was different from the rest of the city we have visited.
A lot of canals and old buildings. It had a different vibe.

All the small streets and bridge looked the same and we kept getting lost eventhough we had the map.
We tried gondola cruising around the city and it was not cheap but for once in our life, it was worth it.

After that, we moved to Florence.
It was a nice city with "tan" vibes. Most of the buildings and rivers were brown theme.
We also stopped by at Pisa Tower for taking a tourist style picture.

Our last city was Rome.
The first impression was the city's traffic was such a mess. With traffic jam here and there, people honking...it looked like third world country, hence with a lot of pickpockets made us more vigilant and unable to enjoy in the fullness when we were strolling the city.

We visited Tourist landmarks like Colloseum, Vatican City,  Church of St Peter and Paul, Fontana De Trevi, Pantheon etc.

One thing that we loved about Italy was the food. The pasta was so delicious, even we just bought at the street food stall, it was so fresh and delish.
The pizza and gelato were other winners. You won't able to get these taste anywhere else.

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.
