Bangkok Summer Trip (July 2026) - day 1

To celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary, we decided to take a short getaway to Bangkok. Since we'll be focusing on our winter wear rental business for the rest of the year, we knew we wouldn't be travelling far, so this felt like the perfect opportunity to spend some quality time together.

We took an early morning flight to make the most of our first day. After arriving in Bangkok, we headed straight to Pullman Bangkok Hotel G, our favourite hotel whenever we visit the city. Located in the Silom area, it offers a peaceful atmosphere despite being in the heart of Bangkok, with easy access to the BTS station and away from the usual traffic congestion.

As our room wasn't ready yet, we had lunch at 25 Degrees Burger, conveniently located next to the hotel. The burger was excellent—the beef patty was juicy, flavourful, and cooked perfectly. Their lunch set was reasonably priced, and the portion was just right.




After lunch, I treated myself to a 90-minute hair spa at Sarville, located in northeastern Bangkok. It was such a relaxing experience and the perfect way to unwind after the morning's travel.




When I returned to the hotel, our room was finally ready. After a quick refresh, we headed up to Scarlett Rooftop Bar for pre-dinner drinks. Although the rain prevented us from catching Bangkok's beautiful sunset, we still enjoyed the cosy atmosphere and, more importantly, each other's company.






As night fell, we walked about seven minutes to our favourite Thai street food stall, Cheaper & Better. The grilled red snapper was incredibly fresh and juicy, the clear tom yum soup was rich with authentic Thai flavours, and the Pad Thai was delicious as always. Every dish reminded us why we keep coming back whenever we're in Bangkok.


With happy and full stomachs, we ended the evening with a leisurely walk through the lively Patpong Night Market, soaking in the vibrant atmosphere before returning to the hotel.




It was a simple day without a packed itinerary, yet it became one of the most memorable ways to celebrate 18 wonderful years of marriage. Sometimes, the best trips aren't about seeing more places—they're about slowing down and creating meaningful moments together.

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.
