This is a back-dated post which I kept in my phone until now.
"For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. For as in Adam all die, so in Christ all will be made alive." ~ 1 Corinthians 15:22
This worse kept going through my mind when I was on the bus returning from the crematorium. Perhaps because it is one of my favourite pieces in Handel's Messiah, but because the truth and reassurance that there is life after death through Christ comforts me. A friend asked me, "After all this has happened, do you still believe there is a God?"
I think this is a question that a lot of people have on their minds, one which challenges Christians to respond, maybe one which 'justifies' people's disbelief in Christianity. And though I believe one must broach some theology in response to this question, I doubt it is the most appropriate response at a time when one is in grief.
For God is love, and through this all, I have seen love. Love from her parents and brothers, friends, classmates, even people who hardly know her, but were willing to pray for her, to come together to do something for her. I may never know why God allowed her to go through such suffering. But what I do know is that I saw love. I saw God in His glory through these circumstances. Detractors who think that God is narcissistic and sadistic know only half the story. They don't know that in the advent of the new heaven and earth, my dear friend, with all the believers before and after her, will share this glory with Christ. Not to mention that God, the creator, being love, deserves all this glory, for the truth that He is God in the first place.
I wept, more because I felt the grief and sorrow of her loved ones. Because I lost someone who loved me dearly. Even though our time together as classmates, as friends, was short, you have touched me with your love. I saw Christ living in you.
Why would someone cling onto something so dearly if it were merely a farce? One might say many cling on to ideologies to their deaths. There can only be 2 conclusion: One being that a person can be so crazy, deluded and mistaken; Second being it is the truth. I believe that every person who comes to the Lord has to examine the evidence and truth by himself. But this fact in itself should be worth anyone's time and attention exploring, why millions in the world hold on so tightly to this person called Jesus, even in suffering.
Thank you for your friendship, company, laughter and everything you've ever done for me.
Thank you for loving me.
Till we meet again. (:

A Very Different Christmas
"For to us a child is born,
to us a son is given,
and the government will be on his shoulders.
And he will be called
Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." ~ Isaiah 9:6
This year's Christmas period has been a very different one for many reasons. First of all, I think it's the first time that there's only ONE miserable week of break in between postings. While I know I shouldn't be complaining because the millions of people who are out there working only has one day, I'm still a student so I guess I should still erm.. get longer breaks? Okay. That was a weak argument.
Secondly, I don't think I had ever been this busy for the previous years. For once, I have to concede that handling tuition, carolling with Hwa Chong Voices, Jubilate (Church youth choir) and the programme for church Christmas service, with even the limited CHP Lit-Review stuff, all within the course of one week, is no mean feat. Not to mention the CMPS report which is due real soon and which I've not started on. Some may say that it's my own fault for saying 'yes' to so many things, so I shouldn't be complaining. For those out there who are concerned, I thank you for the encouraging sms-es and words that you've given me. It's really greatly appreciated. (: Although all of these had been physically and mentally tiring, they gave me an immense amount of joy. God's grace has sustained me thus far, and all glory goes to Him. However, maybe it's time for me to consider not taking up so many things for next year, to give myself some respite and rest. But then again, I say this every year. Well, we'll see. Till then.. (:
However, the week hasn't been all 'work'-related. Caught up with a sister in church who returned from overseas studies for a short while and couple of JC classmates. Great times of catching up. It's always refreshing to meet up with friends you haven't seen for some time and talk about anything under the sun. The connection's just amazing, and I always bid them goodbye fulfilled.
Thirdly, the loss of a dear sister, classmate and friend has brought additional meaning to this Christmas. The truth that a living God came to this world to die for dying people so that they may live for eternity amazes me once again. It is the hope that Christmas brings that assures me that I will meet her again in future.
No matter how much the Christmas period may change/vary for me year to year, one thing never changes: The real significance of Christmas.
"Christmas isn't Christmas till it happens in your heart
Somewhere deep inside you, is where Christmas really starts
So give your heart to Jesus, you'll discover when you do
That it's Christmas, really Christmas, for you"
-----------------------------------------
On a separate note, I would like to say a great thank you to all those who wrote me cards and gave me presents. Just your luck to have a bo xim friend like me, who didn't write any card or buy anybody any presents this year. For those who have been writing me cards every year without fail, a huge sorry that it's been pretty much one-way the past years. I may not be able to reciprocate your love in cash (i.e. gifts) or in kind (i.e. cards), but I really appreciate it very much, from the bottom of my heart. <3
P.S. Nobody is interested in any of the events in the previous post? ):

Musicals, Theatre and Concerts 2010
Was surfing SISTIC again just now. Saw many productions which I'm interested in catching. I was just thinking for the upcoming year, I'll try to catch a larger variety of productions. But this also means I'll be looking at the lowest category of tickets (or thereabouts). Anyway, this is shout-out to all who may be interested in the following:
In chronological order:
1. Merchants of Bollywood (12th-17th Jan)
[Lowest priced ticket: $38]
"“Merchants of Bollywood” is a one of a kind musical - An original production from Australia with a cast and crew direct from India’s film city – MUMBAI. Hailed as the world’s first authentic Bollywood musical, it is inspired from the real life story of Vaibhavi Merchant, the show's choreographer. The show features a galaxy of internationally renowned dancers and stage performers including Carol Furtado (MTV) and Arif Zakaria (Dance Like A Man). The show features songs from super-hit movies like Dhoom, Bunty Aur Babli, Rang de Basanti etc and music by Oscar winnning composer A.R.Rahman.
With over 850 sell out performances worldwide, this musical has enthralled over two million audiences in London, Brussels, Paris, Istanbul, Johannesburg, Auckland, Sydney, Zurich, Berlin, Kuala Lumpur, Beijing and Bangkok - just to name a few cities. This theaterical spectacular is a heartfelt story of a young girl, her grandfather and their love for dance, music & Bollywood! Tear are shed, wounds healed and conflicts reconciled in a powerful journey to the sacred heart of dance. Bangles and beads, swirling colours in costumes and sets will excite the senses in this lavish production beautifully choreographed by Vaibhavi Merchant and set to the high energetic music including smash hit songs arranged by Bollywood’s famous duo Salim and Sulaiman Merchant. Vaibhavi Merchant, regarded as one of India’s very renowned young choreographers is famous for her creativity that brings loads of vigour and life to all her spectacular shows.
The finale showcases a healing bond between old and new; in a fusion of Folk, Classical, Modern, Western and Indian dance forms. Their electrifying energy, lively rhythm and enchanting dance steps, undoutably makes this the most exciting musical of the year. So come ENJOY the glamour and glitter of Bollywood right here in Singapore !!!"
My comments: Indian musical. A first for me.
2. Puccini's La Boheme (29th Jan - 3rd Feb)
[Lowest priced ticket: $15]
This production is set in the 1930s by Andrew Sinclair, a resident director of The Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, London: "Having directed this opera a number of times in various settings from 1830 to the late nineteenth century, I thought it might be interesting idea to set it in another period in Parisian history when the country was economically depressed and the future uncertain. In the 1930s, France had lurched from one chaotic government to another in a short time. Life was unstable economically as it was politically. Despite this, Paris remained a melting pot for artists and writers and their hopes and ideals. People were determined to enjoy themselves and the cafes, theatres and restaurants were full to overflowing. Beneath this superficial gaiety, life was different".
Against this background, the two lead characters in the opera , Rodolfo and Mimi fell in love, separated and reconciled before she passed away.
Dubbed by New York Times as the 'world 's most popular opera', La Boheme has some of the most gorgeous arias in the Italian opera repertoire.
My Comments: Opera. Italian. Also a first for me.
3. To Kill A Mockingbird (26th Feb - 14th Mar)
[Lowest priced ticket: $35 before 15% for students]
Ripe with attitude, Goh Boon Teck’s delirious imagination has descended on one of literary history’s most perfect stories ever written, To Kill A Mockingbird. This stylized and unconventional adaptation features a strong multi-racial cast of veterans and promising actors from both television and theatre. Aggressively modern and assertively trendy, audiences will be treated to a visual pastiche inspired by the coexistence of good and evil, and the simplicity of light and dark. While taking artistic liberties in its staging, the issues of class, courage, compassion and prejudice, explored in the book remain fundamental. To Kill A Mockingbird will intoxicate with its gritty and intense look at human behavior, gone wrong.
My Comments: Read the book before. Would be interesting to see the stage adaptation.
4. KUMAR: Stripped Bare & Standing Up (4th - 7th Mar)
[Lowest priced ticket: $18]
The outrageously funny Kumar sold out his 5-show run at the Esplanade last year before the shows even started and when he finally hit the stage, everyone was squealing with laughter! Uncontrollable madness!
After 17 years in the "funny-biz", Kumar, the undisputed Drag-Queen of local comedy stripped off more than just the skin-tight panty hose and turned his "no-holds-barred" wicked sense of humour onto himself.
Nothing is sacred as he shares the hilarious (yet moving) stories of his growing up years with his Dad, how he was discovered in a dress after Boom Boom Room and his many escapades during Basic Military Training. There is nothing basic about this show which incorporates a wonderful "mini-docu" and culminates in Kumar showing off his dancing skills with Singapore's best known tabla-man, Maniam.
My Comments: Just for a good night's life :D
5. The Tempest (2nd - 10th Apr)
[Lowest priced ticket: $55 (Wed, 3pm). Prices for other timings are just too ex to quote]
In March 2009, Singapore Repertory Theatre (SRT), in collaboration with Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay, presented The Bridge Project - Shakespeare’s The Winter’s Tale starring Ethan Hawke and Rebecca Hall. Directed by Tony and Academy Award winner Sam Mendes (American Beauty, Revolutionary Road, Cabaret), the production received rave reviews from both the press and public.
The Bridge Project is a partnership between Sam Mendes, Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) and the Old Vic in London run by Kevin Spacey (Academy Award winner for The Usual Suspects and American Beauty).
In April 2010, Year two of The Bridge Project features another stellar transatlantic lineup in a work by William Shakespeare: The Tempest. In this celebrated classic, widely considered to be Shakespeare’s final play, Mendes and company explore outcasts, power, and magical lands.
My Comments: Shakespeare. Not my first, but I'd think it's worth a watch. If not for the price of the tickets ):
6. Chicago (16th Apr - 9th May)
[Lowest priced ticket: $70 for non-restricted view]
With over a decade of decadence on Broadway and London’s West End, CHICAGO will return to Singapore from 16 April to 9 May 2010, for a strictly limited season at the Esplanade Theatre with an all-star cast including the award-winning Sharon Millerchip (Roxie Hart) and Craig McLachlan (Billy Flynn).
CHICAGO tells the tale of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who dreams of heading in Vaudeville, kills her lover, then convinces her husband to come up with the $5000 to hire Chicago’s shrewdest, smooth-talking lawyer, Billy Flynn.
CHICAGO has played over 15,000 performances worldwide, has captivated an estimated 17 million people around the world, and has been honoured with 6 Tony Awards®, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® Award and thousands of standing ovations. So whether you have seen the Academy Award® winning film and want to experience the show live on stage or whether you have seen it before and want to recapture the magic, CHICAGO always delivers with ‘sizzle and timeless class’ - TIME OUT.
My Comments: Probably going with some churchies. But if anyone wants to watch but have no company (hopefully not the case), sms/ring me. My grouse is that they've imposed a "student below 18" age-limit on $50 student tickets!!! Ugh.
-------------------------------------------------
Kudos to you if you've gotten this far :D Let me know if anyone wants to watch anything =)

The Five People You Meet In Heaven
I've been trying to read more recently. By that I mean reading more non-medical literature. I'll try to pen some thoughts if I have, or identify some quotes which mean something to me; not so much to sell the book to readers, but more to remind myself of what I've read and the thoughts which struck me when I read the book sometime when I revisit my blogposts in future. (Hopefully Blogger doesn't crash/close-shop in the next 20 years)
Didn't really buy or identify with the 5 lessons that the character was supposed to learn from the 5 people he met in heaven. Picked out a short paragraph which I liked.
"Lost love is still love. It takes a different form, that's all. You can't see their smile or bring them food or tousle their hair or move them around a dance floor. But when those senses weaken, another heightens. Memory. Memory becomes your partner. You nurture it. You hold it. You dance with it.
Life has to end, love doesn't."

Tuesdays with Morrie
"The culture doesn't encourage you to think about such things until you're about to die. We're so wrapped up with egotistical things, career, family, having enough money, meeting the mortgage, getting a new car, fixing the radiator when it breaks - we're involved in trillions of little acts just to keep going. So we don't get into the habit of standing back and looking at our lives and saying, Is this all? Is this all I want? Is something missing?"
"Once you learn how to die, you learn how to live."
"Why do people always say, 'Oh, if I were young again.'? You know what that reflects? Unsatisfied lives. Lives that haven't found meaning. Because if you've found meaning in your life, you don't want to go back. You want to go forward. You want to see more, do more.. You have to find what's good and true and beautiful in your life as it is now."
"I believe in being fully present. That means you should be with the person you're with. Really listening to someone - how often do we get this anymore?"
"Death ends a life, not a relationship."
So many lessons to learn, I wonder whether I'll get them all at the end of the day. I certainly hope that I don't get them too late.
To my beloved sister and friend, you and your family are in all our prayers. You are loved by many more people in many more ways than you know. Hang in there. Continue to live.

Giant in the Basement
I was interpreting for my pastor who spoke in English in the Chinese congregation yesterday. He shared his experience about a 5 year-old girl asking him the following question:
Q: "Why is Vivocity so big?"
A: "Because there is a giant in the basement."
And so I interpreted, “因为在广场的地下层有一个巨人.” with a bewildered look on my face.
Majority of the congregation laughed. I didn't get it. And in a few seconds, I became the reason they were laughing. O.o At least, it woke those up who were about to fall asleep during the sermon.
Well, and if you didn't get it, it's normal, because you're just like me. (:

The Drug Development Process
When you are facing a severe lack of time in studying for a test in 2 days time, you wonder whether topics like "The Drug Development Process" should be the first thing on your mind, especially when you have all the therapeutic seminars pending your attention.
My obsessive-compulsive traits dictate that I should revise in chronological order. Hence. urgh.
Fortunately, some lecturers' notes do contain a tad bit of humour in them. (:
"Many men are rats but a man is not a rat!" ~ James Munch 1929, on the limitations of animal studies
Will probably be back a while later to talk about something else, when I need another break. Blogging does have its therapeutic effect, on me at least.
