Trip to Bangkok in less than 48 hours

This trip almost didn’t happen! When my husband suggested I join him on his business trip to Bangkok, I hesitated—our kids have exams next week! But after some thought, I figured… why not? Who knows when his next Bangkok trip will be? So, two weeks ago, I told him, “I’m in!”—but just for a quick 3-day, 2-night adventure.




I flew in with Scoot in the evening (with one-hour delay 🙃) and landed in Bangkok around 7 PM. Hubby picked me up, and we made a quick stop at Siam Factory Outlet near the airport to check out winter jackets. Sadly, the selection was small, and the prices weren’t much better than Singapore’s—so no luck there!

Exploring Bangkok Solo! 🚶‍♀️

While hubby was busy with meetings the next morning, I went on a little solo adventure. First stop: The Grand Palace! It was grand, but honestly, also quite packed. I joined a free tour (highly recommend!) and learned some fascinating history. Next, I walked over to Wat Pho, home to the famous reclining Buddha. Standing in front of that massive, peaceful figure, I felt like it was telling me: "Slow down. Rest. Enjoy life." (Noted, Buddha! 😌✨)











Lunchtime! I found a nearby Thai café and ordered Pad Thai and fresh coconut—it was decent but nothing mind-blowing. Then, off to Platinum Fashion Mall, a paradise for shopaholics! I was on a mission and found a wholesale winter jacket supplier—score! Great quality at a much better price than Singapore. Mission accomplished!





Night Market Fun & The Best Meal Ever! 🌙🍽️

By evening, we headed to Pratunam Night Market, just across from Platinum Mall. This was hands-down the best meal of the trip! Papaya salad + seafood Pad Thai = heaven. And all for less than SGD 5! 😍 After stuffing ourselves, we hopped onto a tuk-tuk and zoomed back to our hotel—always a fun ride!




To wrap up the night, we did a bit of window shopping at MBK and Siam Center, but nothing really caught our eye. So, we decided to kick back and relax at the hotel—because sometimes, that’s the best way to enjoy a trip!

Short but sweet, this Bangkok getaway was totally worth it! Would I do it again? Absolutely. 😆✈️

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.
