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.

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 ...
