A quest to conquer Fuji San (31 May - 5 June 2024) - Day 5

Today we chase Fuji San.

After observing where the wind blows, we decided to follow the nature and where the clear sky was.

So we woke up around 4.30 and watched Mt Fuji in the clear view for a few seconds from our window.

Then we decided to go to west lake to catch the clear view of Mt Fuji.

Voila, during our journey, we were welcomed with the magnificent and majestic Mt Fuji in the clear view.








We were so amazed and decided to stop for a while at convenience shop to take picture with Mt Fuji background.

Then continue our journey to Lake Shoji on the west side. We still had a clear view for a few seconds before the clouds covering it again.

Not satisfied, we hunted again and decided to go to the South this time round which was the same place where hubby had toilet break before going to 5th station.

Unfortunately, the thick clouds were still covering it.


Last chance, we decided to go round and went to the South West area at Shiraito falls at Fujinomiya.





And we had last clear view of Mt Fuji for the day.

Satisfied through our hard works and feel rewarded with the magnificent view.

Then we went back to hotel, checked out and bought some fuji souvenirs and went to Tokyo - Asakusa to buy "fake food" key chain

Jubilee Year - Year of Hope (2025)

Year of Hope: A Personal Reflection on 2025 The year 2025 has been declared a Jubilee Year, a  Year of Hope  by the Pope—a time for peace, joy, and prosperity. For many, entering a new year brings feelings of happiness and optimism. However, I find myself on a different path, starting the year with anxiety and uncertainty rather than joy and hope. For me, 2025 is a year of the unknown. It marks the first time in four years that I will not hold the title of a working mom. Transitioning from this identity feels daunting and unfamiliar. It is also the year I plan to embark on a new venture: starting a winter rental business. This endeavor excites me but is fraught with challenges. There are countless pieces of the puzzle yet to be solved, and I pray for wisdom and the support of "ordinary angels" to guide me through. This is also a pivotal year for our family. Two of our children will face major exams. While I know the journey matters more than the results, I hope they develop s...

A Burger Date

It feels like it's been ages to have a date night with hubby, thus before my parents going back to Indo we decided to have a couple date over burger as I have been craving with Hans I'm Gluck burger. We went there, enjoying the burger and companion of each other and talking about anything, something that we are used to have but no longer anymore after I took a new role in the company. Then, I accompanied him to shop at H&M before heading back home. It's one of the best burgers I ever had since I am in fasting the whole day for a week. The perk of fasting is I could appreciate the food and enjoy it.

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 ...
