Coronavirus Contemplation


There are hundreds things to complain but there are thousand things to give thanks.
During this recent crisis, I try to ponder and contemplate despite all the noises surrounding us.
And I realise that

1. Mother earth is breathing again


On my way to Tuas second link a day after neighbouring country announced lockdown, the road was quiet, no motor cycle and truck, no dust and air pollution and the sky is blue.
I guess in other parts of the world, it reveals the same things.

2. Market correction


During this school holiday, we stuck here and the only way to entertain the kids is bringing them to the local tourist places where they offered us so many perks and discounted prices which what it should be done for locals

3. Family time



 With work from home and all other measurements, we could spend more times with our loved ones and prioritised back what's important in our life

4. Health is wealth



I guess that's the ultimate message, our body is priceless and it's God's greatest gift that money cannot buy even we have lots of it. When we are crippled by this virus, everything is tumbling down.

Is coronavirus bad thing ? It may not be after all, it may be the correction and "force" changes that we need for something better in the future.
I am not sure either, it's only time would tell.

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.
