Tan Ming Li is a certified death doula. Just as there are those who facilitate bringing new life into the world, there should be people facilitating more and better ways to talk about death and dying, she reasons.

In 2023, she started The Life Review, a social venture with the mission to normalise conversations about death, dying and bereavement. Events open to the public include Life Stories, a series of chat sessions with topics such as “Motherless daughters”, “Real men don’t cry” and “Pet loss and our enduring bonds”; as well as Death Over Dinner, in which people come together to have conversations guided by Tan about their personal experiences with loss while sharing a meal.

The last Death Over Dinner took place at South Indian restaurant Podi & Poriyal, where participants were served dishes containing ingredients with special life and death significance in South Indian culture such as black sesame seeds, which signify purification; and jackfruit, the wood of which is often used as funeral pyre logs during cremation.

“What better way for Asians to connect than through food?” said Tan, explaining that Death Over Dinner is actually a global movement that originated in the US, “but we tweaked it so that food was a much bigger component, building the conversations around the ingredients and dishes. In other countries, the concept is just for people to talk about death over the dinner table.”

Tan, who is in her 40s, believes that getting comfortable with talking openly and honestly about such topics is vitally important.

“A nationwide survey conducted last year (by the Singapore Management University) revealed that ‘only 53 per cent of Singaporeans are comfortable discussing their own death while barely a third (33.4 per cent) would do so with someone who is dying’,” she shared.

She feels there is also a tendency to over-medicalise conversations about death, focusing on treatments and doctors.

“As a society, death is not something that is commonly discussed and we tend to be ‘death-denying’. Healthcare and wellness are all about ‘preventing’ death. In fighting against death, we are unaccepting of this natural part of life. This makes it hard to be vulnerable about our emotions around it,” she said.

Even if you haven’t lost a loved one yourself, “When someone else experiences a loss, many of us don’t know how to address the topic and end up using platitudes like ‘I’m sorry for your loss’ or worse, ‘Everything happens for a reason’,” she pointed out.

Ironically, avoiding the subject of death inadvertently gives it more power. “This power can then suppress our thoughts, beliefs and behaviour,” she opined.

NO STRANGER TO DEATH AND DENIAL

Tan speaks from personal experience. When she was 17, her mum died of cancer. “Dad said, ‘Don’t worry, she will recover.’ Her sudden passing left us in shock. I remember my dad brought me to the hospital canteen, broke the news to me and simply said, ‘We just have to accept it and move on’. I don’t think he ever recovered. As far as I recall, there were no conversations about it within the family.

“In the years that followed, I lost my dad, grandma, uncles and aunts… I was frozen in my grief response and it took a mental health crisis for me to start addressing these issues.”

Concurrently, Tan had always been interested in social work, from her university years when she volunteered to support children with special needs, to volunteering to teach yoga and breathing at various institutions including the Society for the Physically Disabled (SPD) and the Institute of Mental Health (IMH). She also lived in Thailand for several years, where she gave her time to a social enterprise helping indigenous craftsmen sell their goods.

Her career was in Advertising Research until she took a sabbatical and travelled to India in 2013. Following that period of time in which to think and reflect, she embarked on a new path, offering services such as mindfulness and movement.

“In the course of my work, I encountered clients who are terminally ill or grieving the loss of a loved one. Curious about how to better support them, I started researching the topic,” she recalled. “One day, I received an email from students working on a grief literacy event, inviting me to facilitate a somatic movement session for parents who had lost their child. Somatic movement involves exploring the body's sensations and movements to promote healing. During this session, many participants were able to release long held emotions within their bodies, even years after their loved one had passed.”

Motivated by the experience, she enrolled in the death doula course offered by the International End of Life Doula Association, an organisation in the US. Participants acquire skills revolving around how to support and comfort the dying and their loved ones.

“As I delved deeper into the subject, I realised that this was something that needed to go beyond supporting my clients one-to-one. The societal reluctance to discuss death openly leads to a lot of discomfort and unresolved emotions surrounding the topic, and I realised the need to scale and bring this out to the public,” she said.

So, “I decided to pursue a Masters of Science degree in Thanotology – even doctors go, ‘What’s that?’ – and start The Life Review as a platform for people to get comfortable discussing end-of-life matters through education and engagement.”

As far as she knows, she’s the only one in Singapore taking a Masters in Thanatology (“When the course started, the Programme Director said, ‘Now we are an international programme, thanks to Ming Li!’”) and one of just four people in Singapore who have completed death doula training.

“While trying to help people going through bereavement and grief, it struck me that I also had to look at my own experiences and work through all the emotions and experiences that I hadn’t known how to deal with – or even realised was necessary to,” she divulged.

“The way society operates, if we experience a loss, we are given three days of compassionate leave – and only for immediate family – and then we are expected to get back to ‘normal’ as productive members of society. But what about losing a friend? A partner? A pet? Do you get over it in three days? Since the norm was to get on with life, that’s what I did. It was only later in life that I realised that it was affecting me in ways that I did not immediately connect back to my earlier experiences, such as in the way I interacted with people in relationships and friendships. I would not get too close in case they would disappear,” she shared.

And so, “The main reason I’m doing this now is because of what I have gone through in my own life. The programmes I’m planning are skewed towards caregivers for now, as I don’t want anyone to be in a situation that I was in.” She added, “It was a turning point for me to adopt cats, knowing that they will die before me, yet to accept this and love them.”

Her work has also turned into “my legacy project for my parents”.

“I have a purpose to fulfil now, to bring The Life Review into fruition, in the remaining years left of my life. And in a way, I’m already planning for my end, making sure that I don’t regret things that I could or should have done,” she said.

DINNER WITH A PURPOSE

At Death Over Dinner events, “The framing of conversations is intentionally designed to be inclusive and non-confrontational. Participants are encouraged to share their thoughts and experiences without feeling pressured to delve into deeply personal reflections or imagine their own funerals,” Tan said.

The dinner serves as a casual starting point for discussions about a normally taboo topic to unfold naturally, fostering a sense of comfort and familiarity around the topic of death, she continued. “The intention is not to impose rigid guidelines or restrictions but rather to offer gentle guidance and prompts to steer the dialogue in a constructive direction” while embracing cultural elements within our specific society.

It is also about equipping people with the knowhow and language to either walk alongside a person who is dying, or to support a caregiver.

There are sessions taking place every quarter, which are open for individual sign-ups. The next Death Over Dinner event is planned for Apr 25 at Podi & Poriyal, with a group size of 12 to 16 people. Tan is also open to private group bookings, and hopes to possibly work with other restaurants as well.

The topic of death is rarely broached when everyone is healthy, she mused. But, in the face of loss, which comes sooner or later to all of us, “People may struggle to find the right words to express their feelings or fears, fearing that broaching the topic could cause further distress or discomfort to the person who is ill. As a result, conversations about end-of-life wishes, funeral arrangements, or even acknowledging the possibility of death may be avoided altogether, creating a palpable tension and unease.

"Dealing with it openly and saying what needs to be said can help the ones left behind adjust to the loss after the person passes away.”

And, “In the case of someone who knows they are dying, people around them not wanting to talk about it can leave them feeling unheard. They may not be able to express their desires; there may be things left unsaid; there may be people tiptoeing around them and telling them, ‘You’re going to be fine’ when they know full well they won’t be.”

The question of how we can begin to approach the topic of death in a meaningful way begs another: How talking about death openly and frankly can help us to live our lives more fully and intentionally.

“Accepting the finite nature of life and finding peace with it can change our outlook on life. When we acknowledge that life inevitably starts and ends, we are able to define what happens in between that holds significance,” Tan said.

“How do we make what happens in the middle matter? How do we leave a legacy for ourselves and future generations? Do we want to spend our time sweating the small stuff and harbouring grudges, or instead, use it to create memories and foster deep relationships? Living intentionally prompts us to confront these questions and align our actions with our values.

“Ultimately, embracing the impermanence of life compels us to live authentically, love fiercely and leave a legacy of compassion and connection.”

[hero-israel]

This isn’t either of our places to say as neither of us are Palestinian but this is something I’ve been thinking about and I’m curious if you have thoughts.

In order for the Two-State Solution to happen, Palestine will need to nation build, which it is of course already in the process of. One crucial element of that is the culture, and I feel that Palestinian culture has historically largely centered being anti-Israel. Some could point to antisemitism or even try to invalidate the Palestinian identity as a whole by saying it only exists to undermine Israel, but putting all that aside and trying to be charitable, it would not be a sustainable situation to have one nation’s foundation being opposition of its neighbor. So what would Palestine after the conflict even be? From my limited knowledge, my idea would be expanding the resistance narrative beyond just Israel, to British colonizers, Jordan and Egypt’s times of owning parts of it, other Arab and Western states using it for their own ends and being neglectful, etc. Obviously this is still bitter and accusatory, but not only is it now broader than Israel (who could be framed here as just being an occupying and violent force instead of denial of Jewish indigeneity) but it could be less about hating countries/neighbors and having a vengeful grudge but instead about resilience despite everything else. It’s probably not the most historically accurate but there’s been much worse things made up.

Idk, just idealist spitballing here.

If they want to build a society / country around the concept of "Finally we are independent!", like a hypothetical Kurdistan would be vis-a-vis Iraq, Syria, and Turkey, I'd have no critique about that. The problem would be that I don't think it's realistic to expect them to take such an approach, it strikes me as more how Jews wish Palestinians thought instead of how they actually do; perhaps more importantly, it is how Jews talk to Palestinians about creating a state instead of how the rest of the world talks to Palestinians about it. Right up there with "You could have turned Gaza into Singapore!". For every voice describing how to build a distinctive and stable country, there are 100,000 describing how to kill all the Jews and take everything. This can very much shape their expectations.

It is hard to build a culture out of an anti-culture, and that is just one of the major obstacles to Palestinian state-building. I was in an argument with a Palestinian here some years ago, precisely over the make-Gaza-better-with-what-you-have issue, and they actually said - verbatim - "We're not going to gentrify the place." Getting rid of the rubble was far less meaningful than getting rid of the Jews.

Like the meme says: I don't want to cure cancer, I want to turn people into dinosaurs.

Omar/Emara Aziz - Agent Flying Fox Dossier

Note from Shawn: Sorry. Forgot to do this. Flying Fox has not taken their headshot yet, I thought I should wait until then. But he stole my donuts and is holding them hostage. I'll just get it over with now. I'll add his headshot later...

((OOC:

this is an RP blog for my IEYTD OC! the askblog community is a multiverse thing, but this blog itself is set alongside the events of cog in the machine/~1968 ish?? starting right around missions 1 and 2. there may be spoilers about it!

some rp boundaries:

- no nsfw

- no bigotry

- please tread lightly with religious/spiritual topics, especially regarding Islam. references to religion are fine of course, it's a huge part of culture/societies. just...nothing too heavy (it's a sensitive spot for me)

^i know that might be confusing considering how omar will say a religious term every now and then. for context he's a cultural muslim atheist. he still participates in culture, festivities, and language involved with his upbringing as a malay muslim. like how some atheists in western countries will celebrate christmas and say jeez and stuff!

- no terminal illness/cancer

- flirting is fine but omar is monogamous and taken, so he won't reciprocate!

- please ask before bringing any controversial topics into an rp

- anything else should be just fine though :>

mun is over 18 (23yo). please note that i am also australian, meaning i'll be asleep during most american hours. please don't hesitate to let me know if i'm overstepping or being disrespectful in any way, i want this to be fun for everyone.

note to anyone else joining the IEYTD askblog community: we've agreed to tag our introductory posts with the main tags #ieytd and #i expect you to die. but as there's a lot of us popping up now (hell yeah) we've agreed to use the side tags #ieytask and #ieytd askblog as not to flood the main tag for fans outside our sub-community. hope thats cool with everyone, and let us know if anything needs changing.

i think thats all. have fun! - @taaaaaaawnyfrogmouth))

Name: Omar/Emara Aziz

Codename: Agent Flying Fox

Place of Birth: Changi Village, Singapore

Nationality: Singaporean

Date of Birth: March 5th, 1932

Height: 5'3

Eyes: Brown

Hair: Black

Blood Type: A

Dom. Hand: Left

Catch Phrase: "This isn't about me, the Doctor, or the Agency. Think what you will of me. I'll be here for him, always."

A former Zoraxis operative, a high thief and burglar-for-hire who rose up the ranks over the years. Agent Nightjar worked undercover with Omar, on the long and ambitious Operation [REDACTED]. The two had grown close over time, Omar claimied that they may have even fallen in love. They state that they had suspicions, but turned a blind eye to it until his cover was blown. Zoraxis had caught Nightjar collecting intel, and brutally injured him in a near death incident. Omar managed to save the Agent, and with his direction, brought him to the Agency Emergency Room. While grateful for the rescue of one of their agents, the Agency still had their doubts about a Zoraxis Operative changing sides so suddenly. Omar was detained for some weeks after this event – with no clear idea of what the Agency should do to him.

After some pleading and much compromise, Omar’s affiliation with Zoraxis was deemed useful. After pulling some strings, the Agency has Agent Flying Fox working for them in order to pay off his years of crime. Under strict conditions, of course. Their Agency house is dotted with cameras, microphones, and sensors. They are forced to wear a watch that tracks his every word and move. Concerns regarding Agent privacy are continually dismissed by higher supervisors, as “A single blind spot could leave us wide open.” They have been denied a TK implant.

Agent Nightjar is currently in recovery for his injuries. Agency Research & Development is working on new assistive tech for him in the meantime. This has played a part in Flying Fox’s hire, as the Agency still needs to complete Nightjar’s mission until he is able to return to work.

Agent Flying Fox’s motives are uncertain. The team tracking him continue to preach that he is “Just madly in love” and “Constantly gushing about Agent Nightjar, and would do anything for him”. Such claims are met with scepticism from higher officers. What truly motivates this individual to the Agency’s side will forever be a mystery...

Finding the Top Colonoscopy Expert in Singapore: A Guide to a Smooth and Effective Screening

A colonoscopy is a crucial preventive healthcare procedure that examines the inner lining of your colon (large intestine) for abnormalities like polyps or cancer. Early detection of these issues can significantly improve treatment outcomes. However, with numerous gastroenterologists in Singapore offering colonoscopy services, choosing the right expert can feel overwhelming. This blog empowers you to navigate this process and find the top colonoscopy expert in Singapore for a smooth and effective screening experience.

Why Expertise Matters in Colonoscopy

While a colonoscopy might seem like a routine procedure, an experienced gastroenterologist plays a vital role in ensuring its success. Here's why expertise matters:

Skilled Technique: Colonoscopy requires navigating the intricate twists and turns of the colon. A skilled gastroenterologist will have the dexterity and experience to perform the procedure efficiently with minimal discomfort.

Polyp Removal: During a colonoscopy, polyps, which are precancerous growths, can be identified and removed. A skilled doctor ensures complete and safe removal of polyps during the procedure itself.

Patient Comfort: Colonoscopies involve sedation, but an experienced doctor prioritizes patient comfort throughout the process. They utilize techniques to minimize discomfort and anxiety.

Communication and Clear Instructions: A good doctor clearly explains the procedure beforehand and addresses any concerns you might have. They also provide clear post-procedure instructions for optimal recovery.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Colonoscopy Expert

Now that you understand the importance of expertise, let's explore some key factors to consider when selecting a colonoscopy specialist:

Board Certification: Look for a gastroenterologist board-certified in internal medicine and gastroenterology. Some may even have additional fellowship training in colonoscopy or inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).

Experience with Colonoscopy: Choose a doctor who performs a significant number of colonoscopies annually. This indicates their proficiency and comfort level with the procedure.

Hospital Facilities: Opt for a JCI-accredited hospital with modern endoscopy equipment and a team of qualified endoscopy nurses and anesthesiologists.

Patient Reviews: Read online reviews or testimonials to gauge patient satisfaction with the doctor's communication style, bedside manner, and overall experience.

Location and Convenience: Consider the hospital's proximity to your residence and ease of access, especially pre and post-procedure. Accessibility factors can influence your commitment to follow-up appointments.

Resources for Finding Top Colonoscopy Experts in Singapore

Singapore boasts a robust healthcare system with numerous qualified gastroenterologists. Here are some resources that can help you identify potential candidates:

Singapore Medical Council (SMC) Website: The SMC maintains a searchable directory of registered doctors in Singapore. You can filter by specialty (gastroenterology) and location.

Hospital Websites: Most major hospitals in Singapore showcase their gastroenterology teams online. Explore the profiles of doctors specializing in colonoscopy at these institutions.

Patient Recommendation: Recommendations from friends, family, or your primary care physician can be valuable sources. Inquire if they have positive experiences with colonoscopy specialists they can recommend.

Professional Associations: Societies like the Singapore Gastroenterological Society (SGS) or the College of Physicians Singapore (CPS) might have online directories listing gastroenterologists.

Additional Tips for a Smooth Colonoscopy Experience

Once you shortlist a few potential colonoscopy experts, here are some additional tips to ensure a smooth experience:

Schedule consultations: Meet with shortlisted doctors to discuss your medical history, family history of colon cancer, and any concerns you have. Observe their communication style and bedside manner.

Insurance Coverage: Familiarize yourself with your insurance coverage for colonoscopy. Understand any out-of-pocket expenses or co-payments you might incur.

Ask about Bowel Preparation: Bowel preparation is crucial for a clear view during the colonoscopy. Inquire about the doctor's preferred method and any specific instructions.

Plan for Recovery: Arrange for transportation and assistance after the procedure, as sedation might affect your ability to drive or perform certain activities.

Conclusion

Finding the top colonoscopy expert in Singapore empowers you to prioritize your colon health. By considering the factors outlined above and utilizing the available resources, you can identify a skilled and experienced gastroenterologist who ensures a comfortable, effective, and informative screening experience. Remember, a colonoscopy can be a life-saving procedure, and early detection is key to successful treatment of potential colon cancer.

Breast Screening in Singapore: AsiaMedic Health Screening Supporting Women's Health

Breast cancer is a significant concern for women worldwide, and early detection plays a crucial role in improving the chances of successful treatment. In Singapore, the emphasis on preventive healthcare has led to the development of advanced screening programs. Among the leading providers in the region, AsiaMedic Health Screening stands out as a beacon of hope, offering state-of-the-art breast screening Singapore services to empower women in their healthcare journey.

Understanding the Importance of Breast Screening

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women globally, affecting millions of lives every year. Detecting breast cancer at an early stage significantly increases the chances of successful treatment and long-term survival. Regular breast screening is vital because it can identify abnormalities in the breast tissue before any noticeable symptoms develop. For many women, routine screenings provide peace of mind and enable them to take proactive steps towards their health.

AsiaMedic Health Screening: Setting the Gold Standard

In the heart of Singapore’s healthcare landscape, AsiaMedic Health Screening has emerged as a trusted name in preventive healthcare. Their comprehensive breast screening services are designed to offer accurate, timely, and reliable results.

Their team of experienced radiologists and healthcare professionals work diligently to provide women with a comfortable and supportive environment during the screening process.

The Screening Process: Ensuring Precision and Comfort

AsiaMedic Health Screening employs a meticulous approach to breast screening. Digital mammography, an advanced X-ray technology, captures detailed images of the breast tissue, allowing for precise detection of any abnormalities. In cases where further examination is required, ultrasound and MRI scans provide a more in-depth view, ensuring accurate diagnosis without unnecessary invasive procedures. The entire process is streamlined to be as comfortable and efficient as possible, minimizing any discomfort or anxiety for the patients.

What are the causes of prostate cancer?

What is the prostate

The prostate is a walnut-sized gland and an important part of the male reproductive system. It is located just below the urinary bladder, and one of its functions is to produce semen.

As men age, the prostate undergoes changes such as increasing in size, a common condition known as benign prostate hyperplasia (BPH), or uncontrolled cell growth which can become malignant and lead to prostate cancer.

What is Prostate Cancer?

Prostate cancer is a type of cancer that begins in the gland cells of the prostate.

According to statistics from the Singapore Cancer Society, prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among Singaporean men, especially those above the age of 50.

What causes prostate cancer

While it is unclear why this happens, doctors know that it begins when prostate cells undergo genetic changes. This leads to rapid and abnormal growth and division of cells which form a malignant tumour. These cancerous cells then invade surrounding tissue such as the seminal vesicles and bladder neck.

Signs and symptoms of prostate cancer

Prostate cancer symptoms

In most cases, prostate cancer develops without any visible symptoms. This makes detection difficult and the cancer may spread through the body’s lymphatic system and into other parts of the body such as the lungs. It can also spread to lymph nodes in the pelvis or to the bones.

Some symptoms of prostate cancer include:

Constantly feeling the need to urinate

Feeling a strong need to urinate, but having a very low stream of urine

Frequent urination at night

Dark, reddish coloured urine

Difficulty urinating

Weakness or swelling of the lower limbs

Back pain, especially at rest/at night

If you experience any of these symptoms, you should seek advice from a doctor.

Risk factors for prostate cancer

Also Read: Understanding The Role of Genetics in BPH Development and Risk

There are several factors that increase your risk for developing prostate cancer. These include:

Increasing age, as prostate cancer is more common in men above 50 years

Ethnic background, with prostate cancer significantly more common among Chinese men in Singapore compared to other ethnic groups

Family history of prostate cancer or breast cancer

Obesity, with some studies finding that cancer in obese persons is more likely to be aggressive and to return after treatment

Testing for prostate cancer

As most prostate cancers do not cause symptoms in the initial stages, men who are concerned about prostate cancer can speak to their doctors about testing for early prostate cancer. This can be considered when men reach 50 years of age, or earlier if they have a family member with prostate cancer.

There are several tests your doctor may recommend to detect prostate cancer.

Types of prostate cancer test

Digital rectal examination (DRE)

In a digital rectal exam, your doctor will insert a gloved and lubricated finger into the rectum to feel for abnormalities such as enlarged or hardened areas of the prostate.

Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) test

The prostate produces a specific antigen which is normally present in small quantities. Changes in the prostate, such as enlargement, infection or cancer, can cause higher levels of prostate-specific antigens measured in a blood test.

A PSA is often recommended as a screening test for those who may not exhibit any symptoms. While there is no specific level that determines whether a patient has prostate cancer or not, those with PSA levels between 4 – 10ng/mL of blood are estimated to have a 1-in-4 chance of having prostate cancer. For those whose levels are between 10-20ng/ml, the chance of finding prostate cancer is 30-50%. The risk of finding prostate cancer gets higher with higher PSA levels.

For men who have already been diagnosed with prostate cancer, a PSA test may be performed to help your doctor determine the stage and grade of the cancer, so that an appropriate treatment regimen can be advised.

Prostate Health Index (PHI)

The PSA test has a limited specificity to detect prostate cancer, especially in the grey zone of PSA 4-10ng/ml. This may result in men undergoing unnecessary further testing.

The Prostate Health Index (PHI) is a blood test that is more specific than a PSA, and helps further risk-stratify men at risk of prostate cancer. This test can reduce the risk of unnecessary prostate biopsies.

MRI Prostate

If there is a suspicion for prostate cancer, MRI of the prostate may detect suspicious areas which can then be targeted during a prostate biopsy. On the other hand, if the MRI does not show any suspicious areas, your doctor may recommend further observation instead.

Prostate biopsy

If a DRE and/or PSA test reveal abnormalities, a biopsy may be recommended to collect tissue samples so they can be checked for cancer.

In this procedure, a needle will be inserted into the prostate either through the rectum in a transrectal biopsy, or via the skin between the anus and scrotum in a transperineal biopsy. This may be repeated several times so that the doctor can collect samples systematically from different parts of the prostate. The transperineal biopsy has the advantage of a lower risk of post biopsy infection and bleeding from the rectum compared to the transrectal biopsy.

Systematic biopsy is a blind procedure, where your doctor is unable to see the suspicious areas within the prostate while collecting the sample. Therefore, several samples are taken to improve the chances of detecting cancer if it is present. The samples will then be checked in a laboratory.

Systematic biopsies have a false positive rate of 25-30%, meaning a negative biopsy result does not exclude cancer, and that further follow-up may be required.

If a MRI prostate was done beforehand, the information from the MRI can be used to aid in targeting the suspicious areas. In this way, targeted biopsies are more accurate than systematic biopsies, leading to more certainty after the biopsy.

Thus transperineal MRI-guided targeted prostate biopsy is the current cutting-edge technology for prostate biopsies.

Early screening for prostate cancer can reduce the risk of death. And the sooner treatment commences, the higher the chances of positive outcomes and recovery.

⠀ ⠀ as the evening sky turns another shade of mauve, a beautiful baby was born in mount elizabeth hospital, singapore. her name was as enchanting as her mother’s favorite flower, viola odorata. the second-born daughter of victor antonius tan and julianty naratama was bestowed the name violeira ereidne tan, as a symbol of their hope for her to bloom with beauty, grace and in the power of the nature.

⠀ ⠀ raised by the wealthy business empire of the tan family, ereia is considered as one of the most fortunate diamond in the city by the society. in reality, though, her parents are both busy working and both sides of the family are too preoccupied with the prospect of inheriting her grandfather’s trillion dollars of fortune. nonetheless, both of her mother and father expected her to thrive not only academically, but also in talents that are deemed mandatory in an eastern-asian householdㅡplaying any musical instruments. therefore, her delicate fingertips are accustomed to the tuts of the piano, and the strings of the harp.

⠀ ⠀ thankfully, she isn’t all that lonely for she has her brothers with her. they are closely bonded with each other, and both little arva and ereia adorably raised their little baby brother varent together with their nannies. the three of them went to the same academy, jakarta international school (JIS), in the western area of jakarta.

Entry 9: Music concerts in Hobart

Throughout mid-semester, I have been to 3 music concerts in Hobart. The very first concert I went to is a piano concert by Sheng-Yuan, my piano lecturer, Shan’s student. It is a concert to raise fund for kids with cancer, and that concert alone had successfully raised around $40,000. The concert was held in the auditorium of the Hobart Town Hall, it is a small space, holding up to only 200 audience. However, the acoustic was nice; the place was very ‘wet’, the sound produced by the piano resonance through the whole room. Shen-Yuan focus on repertoires by Franz Liszt; he played few of the infamous piece composed by the Hungarian composer like Mazeppa, La Campanella and Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2, and he was only 18 years old! I was awestruck by his maturity in musicality and technique, and impressed that he managed to contribute so much to the society at such young age. 

The second concert I went to was a brass ensemble organised by Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra (TSO). One of my classmate told me it was free entry for UTAS music student so I got in for free. It was held in Hobart’s most famous church, St. David Cathedral, holding up to 300 capacity. The interior design of the church was magnificent and has a dome-shape ceiling, making the music resonate through the church. The repertoires included Elegy for Brass Ensemble by Kevin Puts, Quatre pieces prières de Saint-François d’Assise by Francis Poulenc arranged by Higgins, Overture for the 2019 National Youth Brass Band of New Zealand composed by Jack Bewley and more. 

The latest concert I went was my school’s lunchtime concert. Just like Lasalle’s, it was free of charge even for outsiders. I was surprised to see the concert was 90% occupied and most of them were senior citizens. I figured most of them had already retired, hence had the time to spare in the afternoon. UTAS’s lunchtime concert was mostly student-driven, the concert I attended was organised by the school’s brass ensemble and woodwind ensemble. Most of the repertoires were 20th - 21st century which I honestly wasn’t a fan of, but I love the fact that they included Australia’s living composer’s piece, for instance Elena Kats-Chernin’s Purple Patch and Don Kay’s Tasmania, arranged by Simon Reade. It was a great opportunity to promote their local’s classical music scenes, which I don’t see it often in Singapore. 

Overall, I have good experience while watching music concerts in Hobart, Tasmania. The acoustics were awesome, and their choice of repertoires was intentional and interesting, letting me expose to different pieces each time I went to one.
