I owe my lonely blog some entries...

1) Forbidden City
Absoutely glad i went though after that i was $50 poorer. Wish i had gone with my parents only coz they wld have paid and wld have gotten better seats! Heh... ok, ok... i shall not treat mum and dad like walking ATMs. Loved the way the songs fit different people and different contexts even though they were the same songs! And they all somehow blended innicely. The props... simple yet sophisticated - the cubes/squares and the palace walls. Kinda reminded me of the VJC performance during drama SYF. They were goooood. Liked also the way they made the emperor's son go abt his business with the prostitutes. The concept of him flying from one to the other, being carried by two pple. So innovative instead of the old way of hiding behind a screen.
All in all, great performance, great company. =)

2) Just wanna talk about smthg that struck me a while back and i was reminded of in church today. The feeding of the 5000. Yes, God was indeed powerful. The miracle was amazing. But that's not all. Many a time we forget the little boy who was willing to give up his 5 loaves and 2 fish. Some refer to it as his lunch. 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish.. lunch? I think he was probably on his way home, maybe after buying his family's food for the next few days.
Imagine the disciples going up to the boy, "Hey son... we need some food to feed those 5000 men (maybe not inclusive of the women and children). Could u like... say... uhm... maybe give us the 5 loaves and 2 fish u have over there? Our master, the great rabbi (*points*) told us to bring some food.."
The boy would have been thinking quite a few things.... "What would my mum say if i give them my food? We won't have food for the next few days... She'll probably scold me... But that great rabbi... Jesus, he's called.. Think i've heard pple say that he's done miracles. But i'm not too sure..." We all don't really know what the boy was thinking, if he was part of the crowd or just passing by, but i'm sure glad he gave. Without which this famous story cannot be told and the 5000 men would not have witnessed Jesus' miracle. They would also have been left physically hungry and Jesus' concern for their physical needs would also not have been shown.
The boy didn't give 3 loaves and 1 fish. He gave ALL loaves and 2 fish. And Jesus used it to provide more than enough food for the people.

"He is El Shaddai, He'll more than supply my need, when i give my all to him...."
