Happy 39th Birthday !

This is my last year before turning 40. I totally didn't expect anything special this year because I am looking forward more to next year when I'm going to turn 40. However, something special happens when you are less expecting.

The day before my big day, hubby told me semi surprise that he has booked a hotel room but he won't tell me where it was until the day come. I was so elated and didn't expect that he booked a hotel room for us to celebrate my birthday and looking forward to it.

On the birthday itself, we already had a fix plan. Starting with late lunch at Koma which we booked together then dinner with the kids at Hai di lao. After dropping the kids then we went to the hotel room for a couple time.

I was looking forward to Koma since last year, Japan is one of my bucket lists and we have planned it last year to travel to Japan for year end holiday. Unfortunately, because of COVID-19, we needed to abort the plan. Thus I am contented experiencing little Japan in Singapore.







Overall experience was nice, the ambience was good, the food was just nice not extraordinary. Surprisingly the dessert presentation which was Sakura theme was the main highlight of the day.

We ordered salmon carpaccio and fried chicken with rice for appetizer and glazed salmon and assorted sushi for main course.









After reaching home, 2 hours later we went dinner with our kids to Haidilao. Since both of us were full, we had very light dinner.









Around 8.30pm we dropped the kids home and we went to our next plan. I was so excited to know which hotel he booked. Finally we arrived at Parklane suites and it turned out to be Goodwood park suites.

He still kept quiet and calm to keep my expectation and suspicion low. After we opened the room, I was surprised that the room was decorated nicely and even there's a cake there. He told me that the hotel just sent the cake on time. He asked me to sit down, took a nice photo with the background and sang happy birthday again. 

Then, suddenly there was happy birthday songs in the background, I was so shocked and jumped off the sofa as I didn't expect anyone in the room other than both of us.

Turned out that our friends were hiding in the one of the wardrobe. It's a nice prank and they really got me. After that, one of our friends lead the thanksgiving prayer.


Another surprise line up when he gave a birthday speech and followed by his guitar performance singing our wedding song - Looking Through the Eyes of Love. I was so touched and can't help to cry in happiness.



Indeed, it was an awesome surprise that I never expected.


I was feeling so loved by him and everyone, I just felt that God is so real and people do care to each other. 

My family and friends messages, calls, birthday wishes are kept coming and flowing.

Thank you Lord for the love showered to me, I was so grateful beyond the comprehension.

It's the best birthday so far.

Maintaining Marriage Fidelity

This article is from Focus Family and I thought it's good as self reminder for both of us so we don't take for granted of each other and commit to maintain marriage fidelity for the rest of our lives. Nobody wakes up one day and suddenly decides to begin an extramarital affair. Infidelity begins in the heart and mind. By the time a person physically commits adultery, he or she has been indulging for quite some time in progressively more intense mental and   emotional affairs . Likewise, marital fidelity begins long before marriage. It begins as a promise we make to ourselves to be a person of faithful character before marriage ever enters the picture. It is a promise we make to our future spouse when we get engaged, and it is a vow we make to our spouse when we get married. Marital fidelity is a daily commitment to seek the best for your spouse and family. Strengthening Marital Fidelity Marital fidelity is strengthened when you affirm your spouse, listen to your spouse, and se...

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 ...
