Spring Cleaning


Today, I did spring cleaning.
Cleaning up my eldest's paperworks and school book while tidying up the cupboard.
During the spring cleaning, there are three items I found

1. Items seldom or never use anymore (ready to be discarded)
2. Forgotten items but it's useful now
3. Useful items but no longer needed (can be donated)

I usually did spring cleaning every 3 months, most of the time cleaning up toys as well as yearly spring cleaning for school books and paper works.

It takes courage to start because sometimes I don't know where to start. But after finishing it, I feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good.
The cupboard is now more spacious, it's nice to view it again like brand new.

It also applies in spiritual life.
Most of the time we have lots of cluttered things in our life.
With the fast pace we have, we just add in baggages now and then and in the end we feel that our life is so messy, cluttered, lost focus and purpose.

When we do "spring cleaning", we start to find out which baggages that actually can be discarded.
All those noises and distractions in our life can be thrown away.
We also find out which things that have been forgotten but it has the importance in our life for eg, family, friends
Last but not least, we also discover back our talents that we can contribute back to society. The desire that God has planted in our life to make our life is worth telling.

So, regular spring cleaning either physically or spiritually is not a bad idea at all.

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.
