A quest to conquer Fuji San (31 May - 5 June 2024) - day 4

This is the climbing day.

Hubby and his friends have prepared for the climbing gears and they woke up around 3+ in the morning since they were picked up by the guide at 4pm.

Sunrise in Japan is at 4.30am now that's why it's good to be early riser and have fruitful day.

When I woke up and open my window, it's cloudy and no Mt Fuji on sight, on the other hand, hubby saw the majestic and magnificent Mt Fuji when they were otw to the 5th base station.


Two days ago it's not been a good weather thus the snow's been accumulating and filled up the quarter of the peak.

While hubby and his friend started climbing up, I decided to jog exploring surrounding area and hoping I could have a good view of Mt Fuji.






Unfortunately, I spent 1 hour wondering around with zero visibility.

I decided to make full use of the hotel facility and had morning onset. It's very quiet and I was able to enjoy peacefully.



Back to hubby's adventure, he managed to reach 7.5th station before his left thigh started to cramp and followed by his right side. In the end, they called off and decided to go down.













Finally I met him and his friends around 1.30 at FujiQ highlands for lunch. I could see in their face that they were tired and had disappointment feeling.  




In the evening we had dinner together to console themselves with bbq buffet.


Everything happens for a good reason and I believe there are many life lesson learnt from this event.

And a quick update, we had a chance to see Mt Fuji in a few seconds before it's covered again.

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.
