A Car Park Story


This is very simple story but have deep message for me.
Car parks in my block has top 10 favourite spots ("VIP") which is located near our lift lobby and many residents including me like to eyeing this spots because for the convenience sake. As usual yesterday after we came back from dinner, we got "VIP" spot because we came back early. But I knew that one hour later I needed to pick TR up meaning I might not be able to get in to this favourite spot again.

True enough, just after I stepped out from the lift lobby, I saw a shadow of light in the carpark, there's car was looking for the available "VIP" spots and seem that all are occupied, they were just about to go. On that moment, I had an intention to wait after the car has gone then I got into my car but on the second thought, I told myself that it's public car park anyway, every one pays the same rate and we have no right to keep it for ourselves so I just got into the car and that car turned back and waited for me to leave and occupied this spot.

After coming back from picking him up, I thought that the chance would be very slim to get into favourite spot since it's weekday and it's almost late, but I told myself, never mind, I just tried my luck.
In my surprise, there's a car that's going to leave from one of the favourite spots even tough it's not the same spot. I was amazed and exclaimed, God provides back !

From this incident, God is like speaking to me that sometimes we love ourselves to be attached into something that we don't really own. Our materials, children, job, power, fame are not ours. But we love to hold it tightly and don't want to let them go.
If we learn to understand that everything in this world is temporary and learning to let go and share with others, God will surely provide back whatever we need.
Sometimes God speaks in unexpected way in our daily life.
And it's just coincidence with yesterday's words of God from 1 Cor 7 : 30 - 31

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.
