New Modern Saint : Carlos Acutis

There's a hope among the helpless

There's a light above the darkness

There's a new saint in the middle of Covid-19 Pandemic

A new saint will be announced on October 10th by the Pope. He's Carlos Acutis.

A young teenager who died because of Leukemia. His body was intact when it was exhumed however, it's not incorrupt totally. What's important is not the body but how he's living his life holy.

He loved Jesus and Eucharist and also computer games and outdoor sports like any other normal teenagers. As I reflect on this, I feel encouraged and have a hope that everyone can be a saint in this modern world.

It's not living in perfect life but living in the imperfect world with the eyes of holiness.

This makes me thinking what exactly I want to do in this world, the clock is ticking, we don't know when it's time to return to our permanent home.

However, I have made four requests to God if my earthly time has up

1. Before I leave this world, I want to take 6 sacraments and Eucharist will be the last sacrament before I breath for the last time

2. I don't want to spend my life in purgatory, I want to go to heaven and meet all the angels and saints that I cannot see now but I can feel they are real

3. I want St Ignatius de Loyola and Mother Mary welcome and bring me to meet the Almighty Father. I have been praying daily rosary and devotion to St Ignatius de Loyola who have brought my soul back to Jesus, to live detaching myself for worldly things and be generous in everything I have and do.

4. When I die in healthy way, I want to donate my organs to those in need. I have been taking care this body given by God and want to pass it on to those who may need a second chance in their life.

Well, life is short. We cannot return back to yesterday. I just give myself the best everyday make everyday is a great and fulfilling day so that I don't live in regret.

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...

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...
