Door Art

I wish I could travel and have fun all the time but that's wishful thinking.  I do have a day job and love what I do.  So I'm always looking for ways to have fun and encourage my colleagues to do the same.  Came up with this idea while trawling through Facebook and it's called Door Art Inspirations.  Every month, I put up a different message on my office door to communicate with the many who trudge in and out of my office.  Wonder if I'll become a social media sensation? ;-P

Door Art Inspiration for October 2012

Cage me please?

When I told a Belgian colleague that I was going to watch "La Cage aux Folles", he stared at me incredulously and said "You want to watch a cage full of crazy people? But why?". Had I known what a spectacular show awaited me, I would have boldly replied "Why not?!"

It's by far the best local production I've seen. Worthy of Broadway or the West End. The stellar cast comprising the best of Singaporean and Malaysian talent wrung me dry of emotion by show's end. I laughed. I cried. I clapped and tapped. I oohed and aahed without restraint. This alternative love story of George, Albin and their son Jonathan set in a Tanjong Pagar nightclub is as heartwarming as they come, despite being fully decked out in sequins, glitter and feather boas.

Congratulations to Ivan Heng, Tony Eusoff, Aaron Khaled, Hossan Leong, Tan Kheng Hua and the Cagelles for putting in so much heart and turning out spectacular performances. Hats off also to Glen Goei for infusing Singaporean flavour into the production with such elegant charm.

Thanks to Robyn's friendship with Glen, we were introduced to the stars at after-show drinks. And so I shamelessly stepped forward for photos with Tony Eusoff and Tan Kheng Hua. What a delightful end to a beautiful evening of entertainment!

Well done W!ld Rice. I have run out of superlatives. Just know that I for one would happily live on in this crazy cage.

NB:  As a testament to how much I loved the show, by the time LaCage ended it's run, I had seen it 3 times and brought a total of 18 friends to watch it together with me!

Introducing Alejandro

Haven't been out of Singapore since May and am in the grip of serious cabin fever syndrome.  But thanks to the Great Singapore Sale, I met the new love of my life, Alejandro, who meets 3 important criteria:-

• He's RED HOT
• Buffed (in leather that is)
• Can't wait to get his "hands" all over me!

Believe me, it was love at first sight!

Starting At The Finish Line

Starting At The Finish Line - a poem by Joanna Yeoh

Starting at the Finish Line
Is not where most races begin
And yet behold, victory is mine
I believe in Jesus, therefore I win

The gift of righteousness, instead of sin
The glow of health, instead of pain
A big warm hug, instead of rejection
Restful increase, instead of exertion

From this Finish Line we start competition
Racing only to give Him glory
For what can we give that He hasn't first given
May all of our triumphs point to His Story

The Garden Tomb

The Garden Tomb: a poem by Joanna Yeoh 

Streaks of sunshine filter through dewy leaves

Spring tulips peek from grassy knolls

Sparrows peck at the crisp morning air

Stony paths weave around an ancient wine press

I stare at the Skull on a craggy rock

I see pedestrians bustling around Damascus Gate

On this busy road the cross was raised

To make examples of men depraved

On one such cross Jesus took a place

And bore the pain, the shame and disgrace

While the Father turned away His sorrow'd face

The willing Son died in my rightful place

They brought Him down as dusk descended

In a borrowed tomb He lay

At the entrance of that tomb I contemplated

His finished work, gave thanks and prayed

Then into the stony crypt I step't with joy

An empty tomb I knew I'd find

O celebrate! He lives, Enjoy

His righteousness, His shalom peace

That all who believe and confess; receive.

This poem was inspired by visit to Israel in the spring of 2012
