A short gateway to Desaru (1 - 3 September 2022)

Midterm holiday is coming and my parents are in town so we decided to have a short gateway to Desaru, JB. It's also our (my siblings and me ) birthday present to our parents.

We stayed at Four Points Hotel for 3 days 2 nights. The room is pretty spacious but the hotel's facilities quite minimal at least they have gym and swimming pool.

The location is pretty strategic, it's next to the mall and restaurant / cafe. 

On the first day, we spent time to swim in the hotel and had dinner at Seafood bujang restaurant firefly.







The seafood apparently is not fresh and over price, however we liked the way it cooked which was Thai inspired cuisine.





On the second day, we exercised together at the gym and had hearty breakfast.





At first, we planned to go to Desaru fruit farm and ostrich farm, unfortunately it's raining the whole day, thus we changed the plan to visit the nearby mall and the mall in the city. We had lunch at Sushi house, the food was delicious and the price is only 1/3 of SG price which is very good deal.


After doing window shopping at the mall, we had seafood dinner at Honbin restaurant. We ordered different type of seafood from crab, squid, fish and the seafood was fresh and yummy. Everyone loved it.


On the third day, we had an opportunity to visit Desaru fruit farm and orchid farm as the weather was bright and sunny.













It's back nature experience for the kids and us. We gained knowledge of different kind of fruits, how they grow and nurtured in the farm and tasted and smelled different kinds of leaves.

And the kids had the opportunity to feed and have interaction with the pet animals.

After the fruit tour, we had the chance to taste the fruit harvest which were sweet and fresh and end up we bought different kinds of fresh fruits there.

In the afternoon, we travelled to ostrich farm to taste the egg and the meat and feed the ostrich and had interaction with them.











As we still have plenty of time before going back to Singapore, we went to Desaru coast at Westin resort.








The beach was superb, the wave was so calm, the sand was soft and the water was clear. We really wanted to dip there, however we already packed our clothes and luggage thus we just dip our feet only.

After sunset, we went back to Singapore and thanks God for the good traffic. It's smooth and the total time spent was 1.5 hours.

We were tired but happy.

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 ...

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...
