The Winter Adventure to Japan ( 13 - 25 Dec 2024)

This trip marked our final vacation of the year. We chose Japan not because it was planned, but because we found discounted tickets from Singapore to Osaka. Having already visited Osaka before, we decided to explore a new destination, and Hokkaido became the highlight of our journey.

Our adventure began on December 13th with Peach Aviation, a low-cost carrier that had just launched its new international route from Singapore to Osaka on December 5th. The flight, scheduled for the odd hour of 2:15 AM, presented some challenges.



Unfortunately, the departure was delayed by two hours, and turbulence during the flight made it hard to relax or rest. By the time we landed, we were sleep-deprived and exhausted.

Upon arrival at Kansai International Airport's Terminal 2, we needed to transfer to Terminal 1 to catch a JR train to Osaka. The reserved seating was completely booked, so we ended up in the luggage coach for the 50-minute journey. After that, we walked another 15 minutes with our luggage to reach our hotel.

Once we settled in, we had a late lunch of omurice at a small restaurant near the station. A much-needed four-hour nap followed, and we rounded off the day with a late dinner of comfort food—McDonald’s.



And just like that, our winter adventure began.

Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Hanoi (Cafe hopping)

We spent our  last day in Hanoi  doing what we love most— café hopping ! The day started with a local breakfast of  Banh Cuon , a soft steamed rice roll filled with minced pork and mushrooms, quite similar to  chee cheong fun  but with its own Vietnamese twist. Light yet flavorful—perfect to kick off the morning. Next, we visited  Café Giang , the birthplace of the famous  egg coffee . Rich, creamy, and unlike any coffee we've had before—it’s a must-try when in Hanoi. Our last café stop was  The Note Coffee , a cozy and cheerful little spot decorated from floor to ceiling with colorful  sticky notes  left by visitors from all over the world. Their  iced coconut coffee  was refreshing and delicious—definitely a highlight. Since our hotel was located near  Train Street , we couldn’t resist visiting it multiple times— three to be exact!  We even had dinner there one evening, enjoying the thrill of the train zooming by ju...

Reset to Zero Ground

Last week was an emotional roller coaster, as I mentioned in my previous blog . On September 28th, I received a revelation: my period arrived eight days earlier than expected according to my app. I was overjoyed, believing that God had answered my prayers. This felt like a sign that being a stay-at-home mom was my next role. I had promised God that if I wasn’t pregnant, I would be willing to follow His will, including nurturing my three boys at home. My first reaction was one of disbelief: "Really? Is this it, God? The end of my career and all my hard work?" Then, I met Tante Elaine, a speaker from Indonesia invited to discuss the importance of being fruitful. Her life story resonated deeply with me and provided another affirmation of my path. She reassured me that I am multitalented and that God might have plans for me that are greater than I can imagine for His Kingdom. She encouraged me to be patient during this process, reminding me that just because we can’t see the frui...
