Indah's 43th Birthday celebration

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

My husband took a day of Work From Home just so he could spend quality time with me on my special day—something I truly cherish.

The morning started with my usual gym routine, but it took an unexpected turn when I got a call from someone impersonating a DBS staff member. I had actually been expecting a call from a real DBS relationship manager, so it caught me off guard.

Long story short, I managed to escape the scam—thankfully—but it did waste some time. Still, it taught me to be more compassionate toward people who fall victim to scams. It’s not always about being careless or foolish; sometimes it’s just bad timing and emotional manipulation at play.



After that ordeal, we headed to Johor Bahru for a little refresh. We grabbed a quick lunch and stumbled upon a hidden gem—an authentic Vietnamese stall. We’re still missing Vietnam, so it was a nice little throwback. Loved the banh mi and pho, but the spring rolls weren’t really our thing 😄

In the evening, we had a cozy family dinner with our boys at our favorite spot—Hai Di Lao. It was such a sweet way to celebrate with them.






On Sunday, I got to spend some much-needed quality time with one of my girlfriends who’s known me and my journey for years. We visited “Little Vietnam” in the Joo Chiat area, had deep conversations about life, career, relationships, and spirituality, and she even prayed for me and my new venture.







So grateful to God for the beautiful gift of love and friendship in my life. 💛

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.
