Joy to the world! Our Saviour is born!

As we celebrate the birth of Christ, let us also remember that He was earmarked from the start, for death.

According to theologian Vladimir Lossky, the trough in traditional Orthodox Nativity is shaped like a coffin or sarcophagus. The swaddling clothes Jesus was wrapped in, were prophetic of the burial shrouds that would embrace His death, burial and resurrection!

The picture of baby Jesus in the manger underscores the theological concept of kenosis—the divine emptying of the self. It reminds us of the beautiful truth that Jesus was God’s greatest gift to us.

May we all encounter this tremendous love in our hearts, this Christmas.

From our clinic to all our patients, friends and families—a very blessed Christmas!

Wishing our Medical Director Dr Ooi Yau Wei, a very blessed birthday!

Dr Ooi founded Sozo Cardiology with a desire to provide patients the actual time they needed for thorough care and consultation. It was a desire that the Lord had placed on Dr Ooi’s heart for all who came under his caring hand.

In the thousands of lives he has saved, Dr Ooi has shown us a deeper meaning of what being a champion really means.

Dr Ooi, we celebrate and honour you today! Please remember that your champion’s trophy lies in our beating hearts, abiding with you.

May our Lord Jesus continue to multiply the works of your hand, for His kingdom and glory. Amen!

The tradition of flower garlands during Deepavali is deeply rooted in history, spirituality, and cultural practices. The mention of their use, traces as far back as the Vedic Period (1500–500 BC) where nature was revered as a tribute to the divine. In particular, flowers were seen as pure and auspicious, symbolizing life, beauty, and an ethereal connection to the gods.

The art of crafting garlands (mala or phoolon ki mala) became a skilled craft, and by the time of ancient Indian kingdoms (e.g., Maurya, Gupta, and Chola dynasties), garlands were not only religious but also a mark of honor and celebration.

What is so interesting, is that the type of flowers used in celebrations, also matter. While garlands are often made with vibrant flowers like jasmine, roses, and lotuses, during Deepavali it is the beautiful marigold that takes centre stage. Its bright orange and yellow hues in particular, are seen to emblematise the sun’s energy, warding off negativity and attracting prosperity. Indeed, a flower most fitting, for this Festival of Lights!

Wishing our Indian patients and families, a very blessed Deepavali!

SG60 has gotten us at Sozo thinking about the significance of the number 60 in the Bible, and the beautiful teaching we can glean for what the Lord might have in store for Singapore this year.

In Hebrew (the original language in which the Bible was written), each Hebrew alphabet also represents a specific number. This system is called the Gematria, and is often used in biblical numerology studies to find hidden meanings in the scriptures. Numbers come with their own symbolism, which can lend additional, interpretative meaning to texts.

Interestingly, the 15th letter in the Hebrew alphabet Samekh represents the number 60. Pictorially, it looks like this: ס, and its root meaning is "to support”. Most beautifully, you can see this quite literally through the alphabet’s very circular shape, reflective of its value—to protect, and complete—as a shield and cycle to life.

As we celebrate SG60, samekh demonstrates so thoroughly how we as a nation have matured. From our extremely robust medical system, to holistic education and thorough defence—there has been so much support that has gone into nurturing our oasis of a nation. We are proud of, and love you all. To the next 60 years of vibrant, prosperous growth. Majulah Singapura!

This Eid al-Adha, we reflect on a beautiful tradition that may be unfamiliar to many—the gathering of worshippers in open fields to perform prayers together. Without walls or distinctions, individuals from all walks of life stand side by side, united in humility and reverence.

This powerful image mirrors a Christian truth: "There is neither Jew nor Gentile... for you are all one in Christ Jesus" (Galatians 3:28). It reminds us that whether Muslim or Christian—we are called to unity, compassion, and love that transcends status, background, or circumstance.

At Sozo, we dedicate ourselves to our patients and this shared spirit of connection deeply inspires us. To all our Muslim friends—may this sacred season bring you peace, healing, and joy—body, mind, and soul.

Selamat Hari Raya Adilfitri!

Today, Vesak day is celebrated by 500 million Buddhists all over the world—to commemorate the birth, enlightenment and death of Buddha. In this day of joy and remembrance, countries like Sri Lanka celebrate with making elaborate lanterns, often with scenes of Buddha’s life to remember the light of Buddha’s wisdom dispelling the darkness of ignorance.

In Sri Lanka, the shapes and colours of Vesak lanterns are also symbolic, with the square-shaped open spaces at the top and bottom of the lanterns representing the entry to life (birth) and exit from life (death). The frills of the lantern, with their curves and bends, symbolize the joys and travails of life, embracing it all as one and the same.

Much like ketupat making over Hari Raya amongst our Malay friends, lantern making in Sri Lanka is also a beautifully vibrant, family oriented tradition that brings loved ones together.

For all our Buddhist friends, may the light of the Buddha’s wisdom illuminate your path to greater peace, compassion, and enlightenment. Blessed Vesak Day!

🇸🇬 Happy Labour Day, Singapore! 👷‍♀️👨‍🏭🧑‍🍳

Today, we pause to honour every worker whose effort builds, sustains, and moves our nation forward. But have you ever stopped to think about the word labour itself?

The word labour comes from the Latin “labor”, meaning toil, exertion, or hardship. It's a reminder that behind every polished service, every clean MRT station, every plate of chicken rice, and every new skyscraper in our skyline—there's effort. Real, human effort.

In Singapore, where hard work and resilience define our story, labour is more than just a word. It’s the hands that built HDB blocks, the minds behind innovation in tech and education, and the hearts that keep our healthcare, transport, and homes running strong every day.

So this Labour Day, let’s take a moment to say thank you—to all our workers on this land, who wake early, stay late, and give their best, day after day. May we never take this labour of love for granted.

On Resurrection Sunday, we remember the greatest act of love known to Mankind — the resurrection of Jesus Christ, three days after he died on the cross. He was mocked, tortured and crucified, and yet God firmly willed that Man’s evil would pave the path to complete redemption for us all.

This inverse hand of justice—repaying evil with pure love—is the beauty and nature of God’s heart towards us. It is rich grace, illogical grace, a truly undeserving grace that wildly embraces us.

And that is why we celebrate Resurrection Sunday. This very grace has given us death-to-life living power, here on earth. Because of our Risen Saviour, even in situations that we think are dead and gone, in God’s economy, it is still never too late. It is never too late for a fresh start, for healing, to be resurrected completely by the love of Jesus.

We pray that you will experience this wonderful love.

Wishing all our dear patients, a blessed, loved-filled Resurrection Sunday!

Love hung heavy on a wooden frame,
Arms outstretched, calling every name.

Not in thunder, but in silent grace,
Christ bore a weight none of us could face.

No ordinary sorrow, this was—
But a Love that boldly bled for our tomorrow.

A crown of thorns, a crimson tide,
Unending mercy flowing from His side.

On this Good Friday we remember:
A Love that chose those fiery embers
A Love that boldly received those nails
A Love so designed to stay and prevail.

Wishing all our patients and their families, a very blessed Good Friday!

Culture is often weaved so very beautifully in food traditions all over the world. This week, as we celebrate Hari Raya Puasa with our Muslim friends, we’d like to honour the cultural significance of the humble ketupat.

The ketupat, originating from Indonesia, is a type of rice cake wrapped in palm leaves and boiled until it is cooked. For us Singaporeans, it’s a mainstay with our beloved satays and mee sotos. During Hari Raya Puasa, it is often paired with rendang, a beautifully complex, spicy, multi-layered meat dish. Eaten together, they are yin to a yang, honey to a bee, and simply delightful to the tastebuds!

But more than just a pack of rice, the ketupat brings beauty also, in its own understated layers.

Making it is a communal effort, where family members and friends gather, and in that very act, as like the tight weave of the leaves of the ketupat, we are to exercise forgiveness also as we do. The ketupat undertakes that quiet offering that symbolizes forgiveness, as its weaves the path to communal solidarity and blessings.

Truly, how very beautiful : )

From our clinic to all our Muslim friends, wishing you a very wonderful Hari Raya Puasa!

Giving red packets is one of the most beautiful traditions practiced during Chinese New Year. It is a gesture of love from the giver, and it is loved by all who receive them, especially children!

It is very interesting that Chinese culture wills that within the red, lies the blessing.

This is strikingly similar to our belief as Christians—within the blood of Christ, the biggest blessing from our Heavenly Father is revealed!

We wish you health and the pure joy of knowing such love divine this Chinese New Year ❤

With blessings from all of us at Sozo Cardiology. Huat ah!
