Family trip to Holyland (28 May - 8 June 2023)

It's been our dream to bring our kids and parents to go to Holyland. My ultimate intentions are to bring my mom who's been wanting to go to Holyland since more than 10 years ago and through us we answered her prayer and desire, in addition I also want to let my dad know about Jesus that He's a true God and He's truly alive not some kinda of story fiction that's made up. I just hope that after this Holyland trip, he has a great desire to know more about Jesus, follow Him and wants to be baptised.

As for hubby, his great desire is to present our kids to God so that our kids can grow their faith, love God more and have great desire to put God first and follow Him till the end of time.

We prepared this trip 3 months and it's all by God's providence that we could get the Father to be our shepherd and other participants to fulfil minimum number of participants.

We prayed hard and do abstinence and fasting for these trips to make it successful and we are really grateful that by God's grace and providence, everything is going well and smoothly.

Starting from our journey from SG to Jakarta, then Jakarta - Dubai - Cairo, our activities, hotels, food, bus trip to different cities, countries and continents until we returned back to SG.

Our parents and kids were healthy, safe and sound even though there are times that my dad, my parents in law and our second son are not feeling well but they were able to join all the activities and no complaints about tiredness.

We feel so grateful and this is just a beginning of the journey.

Our homework are still a lot and it's a long journey. We will start to introduce our kids to the bible and family prayer as a family and as my mom, it's also just a beginning to introduce my dad to Catholic's faith.

This is the summary of our trip

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.
