Summer Holiday Bali - Back to nature edition (June 2024)

As Bali is getting overcrowded and traffic jam everywhere and we didn't want to waste our time on the road and visit the places that we had visited before, we decided to visit new place within one route which is

1. Bali Farm House (Singaraja)

It's a newly opened farm house near Bedugul, the temperature is cooling and not many people. We saw many new animals that we never saw it before like Alpaca, Donkey, Big fatty chicken (I don't know the name).

The kids were having fun there feeding Alpaca.








2. Jatiluwih rice terrace

It's a new experience for the kids to see rice terrace where the rice produced. We had a small trekking for 2.5km along the way. It's a beautiful view that we took for granted.






3. Jatiwangi coffee plantation

Nearby, we visited luwak coffee plantation where they explained how luwak coffee made and gave us tasting of infused coffee and tea





4. Desa Coklat Bali

We visited cocoa plantation and factory where they explained how chocolate bar made from the bean until become bar, then we had chocolate dessert where we can taste the cocoa pod and nibs. It's kinda like mangosteen, sweet and sour.





5. Kuta beach

Bali without beach is not completed, thus we spent an hour in the morning to enjoy the breeze and the waves at Kuta beach while watching people learning surfing.

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.
