Happy 43th Birthday Indah (2025)

This year, I celebrated my birthday in a simple and intimate way.

I received two special birthday gifts: the first was the opportunity to travel to Vietnam with my beloved husband—an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience, especially watching the candlelight concert together.

This Vietnam trip reminded me of the beauty of living simply, staying humble, and being content.

The past two years have been an emotional and professional roller coaster. I truly feel that God has been processing and molding me, especially in shaping my character.

I’ve learned to slow down, grow in empathy, accept what I cannot change or control, and embrace the journey—even when it doesn’t go according to my plans or expectations.

I’ve also learned to simplify life and let go of unnecessary baggage—physically, mentally, and spiritually.

I’m learning to be grateful and content, even in moments of lack. I choose to trust in God’s providence, even when I can’t yet see His plan.

I’ve come to deeply appreciate what truly matters to me: good health, a harmonious family, and the freedom to travel and expand my horizons.

Thank you, my older self, for growing through it all.
Happy Birthday to me!

May God continue to make my path straight, guard my heart from all impurities, and guide my thoughts with His wisdom and the Holy Spirit.

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.
