Happy New Year 2023 !

12 o'clock midnight the fire works were dancing in the sky mark the new year.

We spent the New Year at home, drowning in the wine and getting drunk.

In the morning, we had New Year mass together in the church. I was still drunk and hang over from the sadness on the New Year Eve.

The homily from Fr Antony stroke me most. His message was a strength for me. It's the feast of Mary Mother of God.

He told us that why the church celebrate Mary, Mother of God in the beginning of the year, it's because we need Mother Mary's intercession to pray for us so that we could gain strength and wisdom from God and able to journey this unknown year.

There are two things that we could learn from Mother Mary.

1. Pray faithfully - Rosary prayer

Prayer is a source of strength, wisdom and peace. By praying, it shows that we are humble enough to let God in charge in our life.

2. Stay in the foot of the cross

Mother Mary was not the one hung in the cross because she's not God, but her obedient to stay with Jesus in the food of the cross shows her faithfulness.

"Be done to me according to God's will and not my will"

I have been "holiday" from my prayer life and this is the time to detox and getting myself to the prayer habit again.

After that we had family lunch at Din Tai Fung and in the evening I had a date night with hubby at Seorae Korean Restaurant and he bought me a new iphone.




It seems that we starts New Year with a sweet note.

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.

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...
