Chinese New Year Trip 2024

As usual, we went back to Jakarta for our Chinese New Year. We took evening flight and arrived around 10pm and checked in to Fairmont Hotel.

The room was very spacious and facing GBK Stadium. 

We didn't know that there's a big campaign on Saturday so we planned to left hotel just before the campaign started.

In the morning, we exercised at the Fitness center and it's spacious, we loved it.




After that we had CNY lunch with our family and visiting our relatives.






We had plan to go to Bandung on the second day of CNY, unfortunately our first son was sick so we decided to cancel our plan and extended our stay at Fairmont hotel.




Thanks to hubby to pick Fairmont as it's near to shopping malls, we didn't have to worry for lunch and dinner. We could walk there otherwise we felt like quarantine hehe.

We need to return back to Singapore on Tuesday and it's traffic jam everywhere as there's a president election on Wednesday and they blocked the road for the election post.

Eventhough the trip didn't turn out as we want to be and need to cancel plans, we are still grateful as long as we are together as a family.

We arrived after midnight and reached home around 2am.

As for me and my house will serve you Lord

Finally, I’ve joined the boys in serving at the Eucharist. It’s not my time, but His time. Two of the communion ministers were unable to serve on Sunday morning and requested to move to the Saturday sunset Mass. This left the group leader looking for replacements — and he thought of me, knowing that my hubby has been serving at Mass for 10 years. I said “yes” to the invitation, and so began my journey: the commissioning Mass on 3rd August, a Day of Recollection on 9th August, and my very first duty on 10th August. It is such a privilege to offer Jesus, in the Body of Christ, to His sheep. As I looked into the eyes of each parishioner receiving the Body of Christ, I saw so many different expressions. My prayer is that this gift of the Body of Christ will strengthen them in their journey, whatever season of life they are in. 

What to do when you don't know what to do

I’ve been absent from writing the blog for quite a while, as I felt there wasn’t any story worth sharing. But today, I want to share something that happened in August. For some time, I had been waiting and praying, asking God to show me whether I should persevere with this winter rental business. I often felt that all my efforts were in vain, and I had reached the end of my wits, unsure of what else to do. In my prayer, I asked God specifically for a sign: if there was even just one try-on appointment in August, it would mean that He still blesses this business and that it remains aligned with His plan. That very afternoon, I suddenly received a WhatsApp message from a man who wanted to arrange a try-on session for the next day. I replied quickly, asking for details — and to my surprise, he said 10 adults were traveling together! I immediately told my husband, though I also explained that we didn’t have enough stock for such a large group. My husband encouraged me to call and explain t...
