the race
My eyes beheld a sea of red lights the moment I finally hit the Federal Highway. It was 6.40 in the morning but traffic was like wha-?? I inched into the left-most lane and there in front of me was a silver Naza (Peugeot) Bestari (206) - a horrible local incarnation of an otherwise pretty cute vehicle.
The man/woman behind the wheel of the aforesaid Naza (Peugeot) Bes-whatever drove the vehicle like each day came with 48 hours to spend. Cars were zipping by and he/she was plodding along at what, 50km/h?? 2 seconds behind 'silver slow' were enough for me to decide on a manouevre to the right, and after another 3 seconds, I was free! Yes!! I was in the middle lane and soon I moved on to the farthest right lane. Yes, life in the fast lane is what it's really all about here in KL.
I stole a glance to my left to the Naza on my left. Eat dust. I was slowly pulling ahead of Malaysia's reason for an economic recession. No longer had I passed the span of a car though, the sea of red in front of me started to glow brighter. Not a good sign. Soon I would have to hit the brakes. Surely my gallant overtaking efforts weren't going to waste?
I looked back to the middle lane. Surely I could find a gap somewhere for me to just slide in and avoid imminent deceleration? Negative. I glanced over to Naza in the slow lane. Still going slow. But the path before it looked clear. Could this be potentially somewhat embarrassing? Ugh.
I was stuck. I couldn't move from where I was and eventually I had to join the rest of the glowing red lights in front of me. I watched helplessly as Naza happily trudged along, at 50km/h, soon getting lost in the traffic much further ahead.
Was reminded of two things this morning:
- It is oft-said, "Slow and steady wins the race."
- Unc Dexter once said (and I paraphrase), "The race that we're running is not a 100m dash, but rather a long-distance marathon."

2 on a journey,
3 sets of 4 to zip around,
11 to entertain,
70 was a lifetime milestone,
1 to praise at the end of it all.

Gahh!! It's been so hot here in KL!
Looking forward to a cold shower after a good workout later.
Yeah. This is totally random.

keep holding on, never letting go
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Can you look back on the moment after all these years?
On the moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
How he gently and tenderly washed away your sin
Don't you know that He still cares the way He did back then?
Do you remember the day you first let Jesus in?
Keep holding on
Never letting go
We're not far
from the end of the road
In a moment love broke through and heaven seemed so near
Do you remember the time your heart was moved to tears?

goodbye 2009, hello 2010
Thank you LORD...
for every friend and loved one that You bless me with
for every safe journey traveled
for the food and sustenance that you place on my table
for every prayer answered
for Your constant provision in times of need
for Your protection from harm and danger
for Your immeasurable grace that you bestow on me
for teaching me to love even the unlovable
for showing me how to forgive others just as you have forgiven me
for all the great times
for all the bad times
for the times You lift me up when fall down
for being a GOD who journeys with me through thick and thin
*****
Was just at PJGH's Watchnight Service just a couple of hours ago. If there was one word that could describe the general theme of the meeting, "thankfulness" would win it hands down. Several Scripture verses were provided to us to meditate on as we contemplated over how God protected and carried us through the year. The speaker also spoke on the subject. I was even involved in a hilarious skit that spoke the message of how we shouldn't take things for granted.
2009 has been a challenging year of roller coaster-like ups and downs. I am actually thankful to be alive and sane in all honesty.
There were some great heights reached during the year, just as there were some really low valleys that I had to trudge through. There were times of celebration, as there were times of mourning. This was a year where relationships flourished, as well as suffered. This was a year I was blessed with some of the happiest moments in my life, as well as the saddest. This was a year I capitalised on some of the opportunities that came my way, while horribly missing out on some others.
I only stand tall today because God has enabled me to. He truly is a God who is able to do immeasurably more that we can ask or imagine, and I want to testify to His faithfulness in carrying me even through the darkest storms of my life.
I walk into a new year with renewed hope for the future. My hand inside His.

A Mighty Messiah
Taken from The Star, Sunday, 27 December 2009.
*****
A rare classical music gem was performed with great skill in KL last week.
HANDEL’S MESSIAH
Dec 17-20, Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre
YOU might not know it, but Handel is a lot like Vivaldi – you are more familiar with him than you think.
Take, for example, his “Hallelujah” chorus: it has featured in TV series and movies like Little Black Book, Someone like You, Runaway Bride, Only You, Dumb and Dumber, and Face/Off.
The German-English Baroque composer has also left his mark with other music, including Water Music, Music for the Royal Fireworks, Zadok the Priest, The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, the “Largo” from the opera Xerxes and “For unto us a child is born” (from Messiah), that resonate not only in concert halls but in so many other parts of our lives.
The “Hallelujah” chorus is from George Frideric Handel’s Messiah, probably the composer’s most enduring and beloved work and one of the mainstays of the Western choral repertoire.
(Completed in 1741 and with a libretto by Charles Jennens and entirely drawn from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible, Messiah, simply put, is a contemplation of the birth and death of Jesus Christ.)
That said, performances of Messiah in Malaysia are rare things, which is why the Kuala Lumpur Performing Arts Centre’s staging of the oratorio (a large musical composition including an orchestra, a choir, and soloists) was so welcome, especially since it featured the entire oratorio instead of just selections.
The performance featured soprano Cecilia Yap, alto Gabrielle Maes, tenor Solomon Chong and baritone Cha Seng Tiang, the 35-piece KLPac Orchestra guest conducted by Paul Baker, and a 40-strong, specially-assembled chorus.
I really enjoy visiting KLPac; I like its laidback yet committed approach to the arts and greatly appreciate its magnificent surroundings. What I find disappointing, though, is how badly its visitors can behave. Last Sunday’s matinee saw members of the public entering the hall while the performance was ongoing, and the same thing happened again after the interval.
Some might think this is no big deal, but I do think that this is rude and disruptive to those who take the trouble to be on time.
Then there is the issue of mobile phones. I am always amazed at how people think it’s all right to use their mobiles during shows. The couple next to me not only kept up a steady stream of text exchanges during the performance, but also answered calls twice. Frankly, I feel that if you are too important to remain incommunicado for a few hours, you should really stay away from events like this.
All said and done, I have to praise the KLPac for putting together a fantastic event, with excellent voices and steady conducting.
Alto Gabrielle Maes has a finely-modulated and distinct voice and, throughout the concert, sang with unflagging control and emotion, outstandingly in the arias “O thou that tellest good tidings to Zion” and “He was despised and rejected of men”.
The baritone Cha Seng Tiang was just as commanding, singing with a heartfelt passion that reached its peak in “Thou has gone up on high” and “The trumpet shall sound,” although I thought he struggled to keep up with the almost furious tempo of “Why do the nations so furiously rage together?”
The tenor Solomon Chong was, I felt, the weakest of the four soloists. He has an undoubtedly fine voice but was let down by his enunciation – “rod of iron” came across as “a rod of ion,” while “O death, where is thy sting” sounded like “O death, where is my sting.
Cecilia Yap was a splendid soprano, who married talent and technique to great effect, hitting top notes with little effort and entrancing all with her impassioned singing, especially in her glorious version of “I know that my Redeemer liveth.”
Yap was also gracious enough to allow her understudy, Rachel Jonas-King, to demonstrate another fine voice in the making with an impressive “How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace”.
The real star for me, however, was the chorus, which sent shivers down my spine from its very first contribution, “And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed”, and never once let its guard down to fluff a note.
All the four chorus voices – soprano, alto, bass and tenor – were in fine fettle, echoing and dovetailing with each other with consummate ease and elegance.
Working through all the voice was the KLPac Orchestra, which carried its burden of playing almost entirely throughout the two-and-a-half hour performance with indefatigable wit and grace.
Paul Baker, with 15 previous Messiah productions behind him and conducting for the first time in Malaysia, lead with a steady hand, charming both performers and the audience – exhorting the latter to stand and join in with the “Hallelujah” chorus.
It was, in all, an unforgettable show, where everything – even the lighting, used to great effect in the “Amen” finale when it highlighted each section of the chorus individually as it sang – went right and brilliantly so, fully deserving of the ultimate accolade, a standing ovation.

The newly wedded.
The coming together of the Leow and Voon families.
The siblings, minus Victor.
I was really sorry that I couldn't make it for the KL reception, but was glad that there was thankfully a second one in JB for me to redeem myself!:) Pictures here were therefore all taken in JB.
A memorable and momentous occasion. Congratulations and best wishes for a blessed marriage! Love ya both!

Hallelujah!
10 demanding weeks of rehearsals...
4 awesome performances at the KLpac...
in dedication to 1 great MESSIAH.
My journey with KLpac's ambitious staging of Handel's Messiah in its totality has come to an end. And what a wonderful journey it has been!
Being my first venture into commercial performing arts, it's been quite an eye-opener in many ways. I would have to say that this experience has helped me learn much and mature as a singer and performing artiste. And it has been such a privilege to work with so many talented people in this production. Pretty humbling. Heh.
Earlier today, as the last strains of the final "Amen" faded, quite a few of us were left teary-eyed. The crowd offered us a standing ovation and called for an encore. We obliged with a reprise of the Hallelujah chorus, which blew the house away. Even our jovial conductor was reduced to tears as he put down the baton for the last time, and turned around to acknowledge the roaring crowd.
"Worthy is the Lamb who was slain, to receive power, riches, wisdom, strength, glory and blessing! Amen!"

curtain call
My breakthrough to commercial performing arts!:)
Presenter : klpac
Conductor : Paul Baker
Artistic Director : Joe Hasham OAM
Executive Producer : Dato' Faridah Merican
Featuring : Cecilia Yap, Gabrielle Maes, Solomon Chong, Cha Seng Tiang with the klpac orchestra and klpac choir
Dates : 17 - 19 December 2009, 8.30 p.m. and 20 December 2009, 3.00 p.m.
SYNOPSIS:
klpac is once more pushing the boundaries with an ambitious production of the sacred oratorio Messiah. Considered by many to be the most famous piece of work created by George Frideric Handel, Messiah is regularly performed all over the world in churches and concert halls before Christmas.
klpac will be presenting a version that is as close as possible to Handel’s original intention, albeit with modern instruments. Guest Conductor Paul Baker will be leading the 35-piece klpac Orchestra along with a 40-strong choir assembled specially for the performance from 17 to 20 December. Without a doubt the stars of klpac’s production of Messiah are the four soloists - Cecilia Yap, Cha Seng Tiang, Solomon Chong and Gabrielle Maes.
Composed by a German living in London and premiered in Dublin, the klpac production will be conducted by an Englishman with an all-Malaysian orchestra and choir. Although Paul has been involved with over 15 different productions of Messiah, this upcoming one will be a special one as it marks his maiden conducting stint in Malaysia as well as with klpac.
Treat your family and friends to what is undoubtedly Handel's finest masterpiece.
You can’t fail to be moved by one of the greatest stories ever told and how Handel has brought it to life.

looking forward to looking back...on this day
Exactly one year ago, I was seated on a Plusliner coach with an awesome friend, heading down South. Our destination - Jay-Bee, then the Lion City. It was to be the beginning of a great holiday and I have many fond memories of that short but sweet break.
Today, I'm typing out a quick blog entry at the office before I walk through the doors of 19th Floor, Plaza OSK for the last time this year. Tonight, we practice some 'hot moves' before we make our trip down South again, albeit to Bandar Bersejarah Melaka.
Hoping it'll be a good one too:)

dear beloved,
What this adds up to, then, is this: no more lies, no more pretense. Tell your neighbor the truth. In Christ's body we're all connected to each other, after all. When you lie to others, you end up lying to yourself.
Watch the way you talk. Let nothing foul or dirty come out of your mouth. Say only what helps, each word a gift.
Don't grieve God. Don't break his heart. His Holy Spirit, moving and breathing in you, is the most intimate part of your life, making you fit for himself. Don't take such a gift for granted.
Make a clean break with all cutting, backbiting, profane talk. Be gentle with one another, sensitive. Forgive one another as quickly and thoroughly as God in Christ forgave you.
- excerpts from Ephesians 4 (The Message)

help?
So weary and tired...
"Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength;
They will mount up with wings like eagles,
They will run and not get tired,
They will walk and not become weary."
Help me wait on YOU.

life's lemons
The last I checked...
I wasn't the one who turned away and stopped smiling.
I wasn't the one who took everything and then gave up.
I wasn't the one who stopped trying.
I wasn't the one who spouted all kinds of unkind words.
I wasn't the one who never bothered to utter the words "I'm sorry".
The last I checked...
I had still faithfully continued to offer a ride back each time.
I gave and I gave, maybe more than I should have.
I tried my hardest but was met with a stone cold wall.
I had only your best interests in mind.
I have lost count of the number of times I have apologised.
I have always mentioned that I hate jumping on the defence, but you're pushing me into a corner. This is not a game. This is not war. And I don't want to battle. Definitely not with you.
I will walk, but only this far. I will stand here a little while. And then one day, with a heavy heart, I will turn around and walk away.

nothing but consumables
Perhaps in your world, we are all just commodities waiting to be consumed, and then conveniently disposed off after we have served our purpose.
Remove your blinds.
Remove your blinds.
Open your eyes to see
what we see.

rest upon us
My soul is weary and my cup is dry
I am so in need of You
Though my righteousness is rags
Your mercies are new
So Lord, come down to me
So my heart can see
How encompassing Your grace can be
My mind is heavy and my days are long
I lift my eyes up in the night
My heart, it weighs me down
But Your burden is light
So Lord, come walk with me
Until my heart believes
All the bounties that Your grace can bring
- Written by Laura Story & Andrew Osenga
