  Ask yourself, what makes life worth living? 
  Our existence many has swirls and flings followed ups down; mountains, canyons, and rivers to cross. Understandably, we cannot unfailingly feel fulfilled. We feel depressed at times. That, too, is all right; the journey of life should not be marred by sadness; instead, we should place great emphasis on the treatment of others. Life's journey is worth exploring, though things may not be as we desire, and the people we encounter may not be just or reasonable. We are in control of how we treat others as that is within our power. 
  Something for you! 
  "A wise proverb stated that I should walk in someone else's shoes to get to know them. 
  After trying it, I found some too big, some too small, some smelly and others uncomfortable. 
  Another regarded advice said I should look at things through another's eyes. 
  I found things to be sometimes blurry, sometimes too close or far away, sometimes too vivid. 
  Society told me I needed to get to know each person individually. 
  I quickly realized I rarely had that kind of time. 
  Lastly, I was told to look inside myself. 
  I found things to be crowded, complicated, joyous, and painful. 
  Finally, I just decided to be kind."

  Marie Tudor

  Victor Hugo

  Marie Tudor is a gripping historical drama by Victor Hugo, first performed in 1833, that brings to life the turbulent reign of Mary I of England. Set against the shadowed backdrop of political intrigue, religious conflict, and personal betrayal, this powerful play blends romance, tragedy, and suspense into a compelling theatrical masterpiece.
  
  At the heart of the story stands Queen Mary Tudor, a monarch torn between the immense responsibilities of the crown and the vulnerabilities of her heart. Hugo portrays her not merely as a historical figure remembered for her harsh religious persecutions, but as a deeply human woman—passionate, jealous, loving, and capable of both tenderness and cruelty. Through this complex characterization, the play explores the emotional struggles of a ruler whose private desires collide with public duty.
  
  The drama unfolds in the court of England, where political conspiracies simmer beneath a façade of royal authority. Mary is secretly in love with Fabiani, a charming but unscrupulous adventurer whose ambitions and moral weaknesses set the tragedy in motion. When deception, betrayal, and jealousy intertwine, the Queen finds herself ensnared in a web of intrigue that threatens not only her heart but her throne. Alongside her stands Gilbert, a noble and steadfast figure whose integrity and courage contrast sharply with the duplicity that infects the court.
  
  Victor Hugo masterfully weaves together themes of power, justice, revenge, and redemption. As tensions rise and loyalties are tested, the play questions the nature of authority: Can a sovereign truly separate personal emotion from political responsibility? Is justice possible when passion clouds judgment? Hugo's vivid dialogue and dramatic intensity create a work that is both emotionally charged and intellectually resonant.
  
  True to the spirit of Romanticism, Marie Tudor emphasizes strong emotion, moral conflict, and larger-than-life characters. Hugo's language is rich and expressive, elevating the drama beyond mere historical retelling into a timeless exploration of human frailty and strength. The play also reflects Hugo's broader literary vision—his fascination with the marginalized, his critique of rigid institutions, and his belief in the dramatic potential of history.
  
  Though rooted in a specific moment of sixteenth-century England, Marie Tudor speaks to universal struggles between love and power, mercy and vengeance, fate and free will. It is a story of a woman caught between the crown and the heart, forced to confront the consequences of her choices in a world where authority can both protect and destroy.
  
  Dark, passionate, and profoundly human, Marie Tudor remains a striking example of Victor Hugo's dramatic genius. For readers and theater lovers alike, it offers a powerful portrait of monarchy, emotion, and the tragic cost of desire.

  Patient History

  “Patient history” is a medical term describing the method by which doctors gather information about a patient’s past and present conditions. Yet, how much of a patient’s history do doctors really know, and how much agency do we have in determining our own histories? 
  Patient History is a whimsical exploration of the typically grim world of sickness and death. Woven from pop culture, fairytales, and East-meets-West childhood memories of growing up in Singapore, these fantasies are cotton candy sweet—osteoporosis becomes Singapore’s signature Chili Crab, a fistula transfigures into fairy, and organs are commemorated as a theme park.
