A quest to conquer Fuji San (31 May - 5 June 2024) - day 4

This is the climbing day.

Hubby and his friends have prepared for the climbing gears and they woke up around 3+ in the morning since they were picked up by the guide at 4pm.

Sunrise in Japan is at 4.30am now that's why it's good to be early riser and have fruitful day.

When I woke up and open my window, it's cloudy and no Mt Fuji on sight, on the other hand, hubby saw the majestic and magnificent Mt Fuji when they were otw to the 5th base station.


Two days ago it's not been a good weather thus the snow's been accumulating and filled up the quarter of the peak.

While hubby and his friend started climbing up, I decided to jog exploring surrounding area and hoping I could have a good view of Mt Fuji.






Unfortunately, I spent 1 hour wondering around with zero visibility.

I decided to make full use of the hotel facility and had morning onset. It's very quiet and I was able to enjoy peacefully.



Back to hubby's adventure, he managed to reach 7.5th station before his left thigh started to cramp and followed by his right side. In the end, they called off and decided to go down.













Finally I met him and his friends around 1.30 at FujiQ highlands for lunch. I could see in their face that they were tired and had disappointment feeling.  




In the evening we had dinner together to console themselves with bbq buffet.


Everything happens for a good reason and I believe there are many life lesson learnt from this event.

And a quick update, we had a chance to see Mt Fuji in a few seconds before it's covered again.

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...
