Birthday Trip to Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh

Our final stop before heading back to Singapore was Ho Chi Minh City, and this leg of the trip was mainly for business—we were on the hunt for a supplier for our winter jacket line.

To be honest, Ho Chi Minh felt very similar to Jakarta—busy, crowded, and full of energy. Thankfully, thanks to my amazing hubby, we stayed in comfort at Pullman Saigon Centre, where we even got an upgrade and a sweet birthday surprise from the hotel’s hospitality team. It made the experience extra special.




In between meetings and supplier visits, we managed to explore some of the city’s landmarks like the Pink Church (Tan Dinh Church), the quirky and creative Café Apartment, Ben Thanh Market, and the vibrant Bui Vien Street, which really comes alive at night with partygoers and street performers.









Most of our time, though, was spent at the Russian Market, where we focused on sourcing potential winter jacket inventory. It was a productive trip and a meaningful step forward for our upcoming venture.

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...
