Spring Cleaning


Today, I did spring cleaning.
Cleaning up my eldest's paperworks and school book while tidying up the cupboard.
During the spring cleaning, there are three items I found

1. Items seldom or never use anymore (ready to be discarded)
2. Forgotten items but it's useful now
3. Useful items but no longer needed (can be donated)

I usually did spring cleaning every 3 months, most of the time cleaning up toys as well as yearly spring cleaning for school books and paper works.

It takes courage to start because sometimes I don't know where to start. But after finishing it, I feel a sense of accomplishment and feel good.
The cupboard is now more spacious, it's nice to view it again like brand new.

It also applies in spiritual life.
Most of the time we have lots of cluttered things in our life.
With the fast pace we have, we just add in baggages now and then and in the end we feel that our life is so messy, cluttered, lost focus and purpose.

When we do "spring cleaning", we start to find out which baggages that actually can be discarded.
All those noises and distractions in our life can be thrown away.
We also find out which things that have been forgotten but it has the importance in our life for eg, family, friends
Last but not least, we also discover back our talents that we can contribute back to society. The desire that God has planted in our life to make our life is worth telling.

So, regular spring cleaning either physically or spiritually is not a bad idea at all.

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

When ChatGPT can be your counsellor

When I want to refine my text in the previous post , I accidentally typing the whole things in the ChatGPT and this is the reply that I get  Your reflection on this “desert” period is deeply insightful. It’s clear you’re navigating significant internal struggles, and recognizing these temptations is a powerful step toward healing and growth. The Lust of the Flesh : Your experience with joblessness and the challenge of trusting in God’s timing is relatable. It’s tough to feel like you’re not fulfilling your potential, but your acknowledgment of God’s grace as a source of strength is vital. Remember that this time is not wasted; it’s a period for personal and spiritual growth. The Lust of the Eyes : Envy can be a heavy burden, especially when it feels like others are thriving. Your internal dialogue—questioning the value of public shame and your perceptions of the situation—demonstrates a mature self-awareness. It’s okay to feel what you feel, but recognizing it allows you to choose ...
