關於 the shows must go on ，我們在網路上蒐集到這些相關的討論、資訊與評價

來過倫敦的人應該都對這裡的音樂劇念念不忘，倫敦有成熟的劇院體系，西區劇院愈夜愈美麗，每週每天幾乎都有音樂劇上演。然而從去年三月倫敦進入封城，除了餐廳關閉，音樂劇演出也全數暫停，過去一年在劇院工作的人頓時失去工作。儘管今年五月重啟，觀眾也仍未完全重返劇院。

英國劇院基金（Theatre Support Fund）特別舉辦《The Shows Must Go On》演唱會，號召現今西區劇院音樂劇演員表演各自劇中的歌曲。兩小時內濃縮數十齣劇，除了大家熟悉的《悲慘世界》、《歌劇魅影》、《獅子王》和《MAMMA MIA!》，也包含在英國奧利佛獎（Olivier Awards）獲獎的 《Dear Evan Hansen》、《漢密爾頓》和《Mary Poppins》等等，提高許多知名度不那麼高但很值得一看的小劇曝光度。

疫情底下，這次破例開放 YouTube 現場全程直播，是一次向英國觀眾介紹一眾音樂劇的機會，進而買票支持個別喜歡的劇，也讓全球觀眾得以透過小螢幕感受久違的劇院氛圍，沒辦法出國也能體驗在倫敦西區劇院看劇的感受。

正如主持人、英國資深音樂劇演員 Bonnie Langford 所言：

"I can completely understand why the Phantom's spent all of his time hanging about in theatre... because there is no better place to be."

（「我完全可以理解為什麼魅影花這麼多時間待在劇院裡，因為世上沒有比劇院更棒的地方了。」）

直播影片將開放一週，是相當精彩、溫暖的一場秀，喜歡看音樂劇的朋友不要錯過！

Tell me about your dreams.

Recently I listened to the podcast by @lucasrockwood where he talks about the power of dreams with @charlie_morley_lucid_dreaming. That we can become more aware of our dreams and how that can help us to be more creative.

This got me thinking, are we resting and sleeping enough? If you ask around, most people will tell you no. And I have heard stories and claims from friends and students that sometimes even after yoga or a workout, they don’t feel more relaxed. Why is that?

I will attempt to answer that. First when we go to a yoga class or a workout, we tend to expect that we must achieve something or trying to reach a state, or gain muscle mass, rather than just trusting the process, having fun and being present. Yes, while trying to achieve a pose might be important, but staying focused and breathing in your class or practice can help you reach mental and spiritual relaxation, which is a higher form of relaxation - the kind that will help you truly relax and sleep.

Secondly, we subject ourselves in a highly stimulated environment: work, smart devices, violent or horror shows, sensationalised news. Try to limit your time you spent on these things. You will definitely find it easier to unwind and relax.

And if all else fails, read a book (this puts me to sleep every time!) and do simple #supinetwist as shown in this picture. If you can’t reach your foot with the leg straight, use a strap or a towel to connect your hand and your foot. Do both sides and in each side stay for about 2-3 minutes.

Assuming you can sleep now and your dreams will flow, @charlie_morley_lucid_dreaming went on to say that we should journal our dreams so that we can build up a memory for our dreams and that will help us become more aware of our dreams. That sounds pretty amazing because dreams are really important. From the dreams that I can remember, sometimes I do find solutions or answers for the things that have been puzzling me at work. Charlie even claims that within a few weeks of dream journaling, you will already start to see results.

Wanna give it a try?

Jesus Came to Fulfill, Not to Destroy

““Don’t think that I came to destroy the law or the prophets. I didn’t come to destroy, but to fulfill. For most certainly, I tell you, until heaven and earth pass away, not even one smallest letter or one tiny pen stroke shall in any way pass away from the law, until all things are accomplished.” (Matthew‬ ‭5:17-18‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Even though I write that we are not supposed to keep the Law of Moses today, I am not calling the Law evil or making it seem like something bad.

The Law shows God’s holiness, revealing that only perfection is acceptable to God. Anything short of God’s glory is unrighteous.

Jesus did not come to destroy the Law. He didn’t say, “Oh Israel, I guess this is too hard for you to keep. It’s okay, let Me snap My fingers and cancel this Law. Let’s forget about it okay?”

No, Jesus came to fulfill the Law on our behalf. The requirements of the Law can be summed up by the following verse:

“Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul who sins, he shall die.” (Ezekiel‬ ‭18:4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

Sin is a crime that demands the penalty of death. God is holy, so He must punish sin.

However, God also loves us, so how can He spare us and yet justly punish sin?

The answer is the cross. God the Father placed all our sins upon His Son Jesus Christ, and punished Him fully in our place, so that the wages of sin which the Law requires was fully paid by Jesus’ death. The divine, sinless blood which He shed is worth much more than all the sins of the world throughout the passage of time.

So for us who have faith in Jesus, the issue of sin is settled. We are forgiven. He has fulfilled the Law’s requirements on our behalf, making us righteous.

However, the Law will not pass away until God creates a new Heaven and new earth at the end of time. The Law still has a purpose to be met.

“For there is no partiality with God. For as many as have sinned without law will also perish without the law. As many as have sinned under the law will be judged by the law. For it isn’t the hearers of the law who are righteous before God, but the doers of the law will be justified (for when Gentiles who don’t have the law do by nature the things of the law, these, not having the law, are a law to themselves, in that they show the work of the law written in their hearts, their conscience testifying with them, and their thoughts among themselves accusing or else excusing them) in the day when God will judge the secrets of men, according to my Good News, by Jesus Christ.” (Romans‬ ‭2:11-16‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

At the Great White Throne judgment, Jesus will sit as judge, and the unbelievers will be judged based on their conscience if they are Gentiles, and by the Law (Ten Commandments) if they are Jews.

Jesus has record books of their works, and will measure out the appropriate degree of punishment before they are cast into the lake of fire. Each unsaved soul will experience a different level of torment based on the works they have done in their lifetime. Of course, the one screaming the loudest will be Satan.

“I saw a great white throne, and him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. There was found no place for them. I saw the dead, the great and the small, standing before the throne, and they opened books. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged out of the things which were written in the books, according to their works. The sea gave up the dead who were in it. Death and Hades gave up the dead who were in them. They were judged, each one according to his works. Death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire. This is the second death, the lake of fire. If anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire.” (Revelation‬ ‭20:11-15‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

After that final judgment, when all humans, fallen angels, and Nephilim giants have been judged and sentenced to their appropriate eternal abodes, then the Law will pass away. At that point in time, all things will be accomplished, and eternity will begin. Christ shall reign supreme and be all in all.

For us who believe, the future is bright. Read this passage which will happen after the Law has passed away:

“I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth have passed away, and the sea is no more. I saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband. I heard a loud voice out of heaven saying, “Behold, God’s dwelling is with people, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. He will wipe away from them every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; neither will there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more. The first things have passed away.”” (Revelation‬ ‭21:1-4‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

This is one of my favourite duets of all time and the lyrics (and the subtle things behind the song..etc) are very beautiful & meaningful. If you think of anyone while watching this video, I hope you can send it to them to let them know the impact they’ve had on your life.

I have liked For Good since the first time I heard the song and have always wanted to record a cover of it, but never quite found someone I thought would be the right person to sing this song with me. When I started cosplaying as Magnus and later came across the Edom scene in Shadowhunters, where the characters were potentially separating from each other forever, I knew this was it. Plus, there are other similarities between Glinda & Elphaba in Wicked and Alec & Magnus from Shadowhunters (feel free to comment to let me know what you come up with).

Doing a cover of this song while cosplaying characters from one of my favourite shows, I knew I had to go the extra mile. The amount of time and effort spent along with the things I had to learn, get and do to pull it off was kind of insane, but worth it at the same time (lost track of how many all-nighters were involved.

Without help from Ivan Wong, Robin Oh and Chris Jayden of KANTAN Media, this project would not have been possible. Thank you so much!!

I've heard it said
That people come into our lives
For a reason
Bringing something we must learn
And we are led to those
Who help us most to grow if we let them
And we help them in return

Well, I don't know if I believe that's true
But I know I'm who I am today
Because I knew you

Like a comet pulled from orbit
As it passes the sun
Like a stream that meets a boulder
Halfway through the wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you
I have been changed for good

It well may be
That we will never meet again
In this lifetime
So, let me say before we part
So much of me
Is made of what I learned from you
You'll be with me
Like a handprint on my heart

And now whatever way our stories end
I know you have rewritten mine
By being my friend

Like a ship blown from its mooring
By a wind off the sea
Like a seed dropped by a sky bird
In a distant wood
Who can say if I've been changed for the better
But because I knew you

Because I knew you

I have been changed for good

And just to clear the air
I ask forgiveness
For the things I've done, you blame me for

But then I guess
We know there's blame to share

And none of it seems to matter anymore

Like a comet pulled from orbit (like a ship blown from its mooring)
As it passes the sun (by a wind off the sea)
Like a stream that meets a boulder (like a seed dropped by a bird)
Halfway through the wood (in the wood)

Who can say if I've been changed for the better
I do believe I have been changed for the better

And because I knew you
Because I knew you
Because I knew you
I have been changed
For good

Episode 5: CYCLING IN SINGAPORE TOUR WITH GOPRO HERO 9 Health benefits of regular cycling
Health benefits of regular cycling

Cycling is mainly an aerobic activity, which means that your heart, blood vessels and lungs all get a workout. You will breathe deeper, perspire and experience increased body temperature, which will improve your overall fitness level.

The health benefits of regular cycling include:
increased cardiovascular fitness
increased muscle strength and flexibility
improved joint mobility
decreased stress levels
improved posture and coordination
strengthened bones
decreased body fat levels
prevention or management of disease
reduced anxiety and depression.

Cycling and specific health issues

Cycling can improve both physical and mental health, and can reduce the chances of experiencing many health problems.
Obesity and weight control

Cycling is a good way to control or reduce weight, as it raises your metabolic rate, builds muscle and burns body fat. If you’re trying to lose weight, cycling must be combined with a healthy eating plan. Cycling is a comfortable form of exercise and you can change the time and intensity – it can be built up slowly and varied to suit you.

Research suggests you should be burning at least 8,400 kilojoules (about 2,000 calories) a week through exercise. Steady cycling burns about 1,200 kilojoules (about 300 calories) per hour.

If you cycle twice a day, the kilojoules burnt soon add up. British research shows that a half-hour bike ride every day will burn nearly five kilograms of fat over a year.
Cardiovascular disease and cycling

Cardiovascular diseases include stroke, high blood pressure and heart attack. Regular cycling stimulates and improves your heart, lungs and circulation, reducing your risk of cardiovascular diseases.

Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels. Research also shows that people who cycle to work have two to three times less exposure to pollution than car commuters, so their lung function is improved. A Danish study conducted over 14 years with 30,000 people aged 20 to 93 years found that regular cycling protected people from heart disease.
Cancer and cycling

Many researchers have studied the relationship between exercise and cancer, especially colon and breast cancer. Research has shown that if you cycle, the chance of bowel cancer is reduced. Some evidence suggests that regular cycling reduces the risk of breast cancer.
Diabetes and cycling

The rate of type 2 diabetes is increasing and is a serious public health concern. Lack of physical activity is thought to be a major reason why people develop this condition. Large-scale research in Finland found that people who cycled for more than 30 minutes per day had a 40 per cent lower risk of developing diabetes.
Bone injuries, arthritis and cycling

Cycling improves strength, balance and coordination. It may also help to prevent falls and fractures. Riding a bike is an ideal form of exercise if you have osteoarthritis, because it is a low-impact exercise that places little stress on joints.

Cycling does not specifically help osteoporosis (bone-thinning disease) because it is not a weight-bearing exercise.
Mental illness and cycling

Mental health conditions such as depression, stress and anxiety can be reduced by regular bike riding. This is due to the effects of the exercise itself and because of the enjoyment that riding a bike can bring.
