Mamma Mia & Carl's Jr
This week, Wednesday 1st and Thursday 2nd were two days I had for public holiday here in Malaysia. It's called Hari Raya! It's the Muslims Festival, some sort of new year after their one month of fasting. Well I admire those muslims who really fast for one whole month. :)
As the title says it all, Mamma Mia is the movie that I've watched recently. Not only that, I've watched it 2 times in the space of one week. Wow!!! Although that I've watched it twice, I laughed again and enjoyed the movie though. Usually when I watch a movie, I won't go and watch again, but this one, it's a MUST-WATCH-MOVIE!!!
Monday is the first day of the week and I went to watch with Hazel with the company of Crystal and Andrew. I went to meet Hazel and her gang in Midvalley at around 8PM. I had my dinner with the gang and soon Crystal and Andrew came along. After fulfilling my stomach's need, we rushed for the movie. All the trailers had already started and we had to walk in the dark to find our seats. Seats found! So we watched and laughed like crazy at this movie. After the movie ended, I was so blessed to have Andrew to drive me home and for Hazel to bless me with the movie ticket. I was really blessed.
Wednesday is another day where it was public holiday and Ray called me to get ready to go to Midvalley. At first I thought that he just wanted to buy something there but he wanted to watch movie with Edi. On the other hand, Edi told me that he was going "dating" so he cannot go out with me, but I ended up with him anyway. Well I didn't want to disturb him in his "date", so Ray and I bought another ticket to watch Mamma Mia, since other movie is too late to watch. Then we went in another movie hall whereas Edi and *ahem* went to another movie hall. Since Ray and I haven't taken our breakfast nor our lunch, at 2PM we decided to go and eat the most delicious and the best huge burger that we can ever see in town! Well you have guess it right! It's Carl's Jr Burger!!!

This is the only burger and French fries that you will not be deceived by the size they put in the newspapers or magazines or ads. I think the burger is even bigger than the ads itself. That's why it says in the ads, "When you go to Carl's Jr, you get yourself embarrassed by asking a small burger because that doesn't exist in Carl's Jr!" Well what they say it's true. Even you try to order the smallest burger there, it's bigger than one BigMac in McD!!!
Back to the movie!!! I like the songs inside the movie, although they are old but it brings back your childhood somehow. I pretty amazed by how they can relate all these songs into this one movie! Since I've studied Film & Arts Appreciation, my perspective of watching a movie is totally different now. I like how they made this plot into life. Another thing that I like is about the actors and actress, they can ask really good. I think that I'd prefer Mammia Mia compared to High School Musical. Although HSM has original songs, but the acting in Mammia Mia is the best, somehow you can relate. Whereas in HSM, it's just fake, nothing you can relate to your actual life. It's kind of fairy tale musical. Sorry for all HSM fans if I offended you, especially those back in Mauritius.
To end this post, I just want to share with you, real commercials of Carl's Jr burgers. Enjoy!!! :)

2nd voice - Part 2
In my previous post I was saying that 2nd voice can be sung by everybody. Well the fact is that it's the truth. I've finally reached a level where I can sing 2nd voice in some songs, especially the song Freedom! Well it was become a trend in our church now, that everybody has been singing this song in their head over and over again since last service.
Anyway why did I say that it can be sung by everybody because people felt discouraged when they know that they can't sing 2nd voice. Well to tell you the truth, I was among those people. Back home in my church, I was in the worship team and a lot of them can sing 2nd voice. When I tried to sing 2nd voice, I was being rebuke because I was not singing it in the right tune. People never taught me but they taught others. I felt very discouraged at that time. It's like nobody ever care for me. Maybe somehow I was being too superior in my things, that's why I felt kind of rejected in some ways. Well you might not understand what I'm talking about right now but just imagine this scenario. You try to do something that people is doing, but you get scolded for doing it wrong and they never correct you by showing you how to do it properly. How do you get to know how to do something in a right manner if nobody corrects and show you the proper way of doing it? How would you feel that you got rebuke for doing wrong but never ever helps out? Some sort of rejection right? Well that's what I felt in the beginning. But now I don't bother about it anymore. Like Pastor Kevin said, "God can forgive and forget but humans can forgive but cannot forget!" Not in a way to revenge but it's in my memories that I can't forget it.
I'm not boasting now that I know how to sing 2nd voice. I'm just sharing how I felt before and now I'm feeling now. Now I finally can sing 2nd voice, it's quite easy. I had to go through a lot of training but I finally got it. I learned a lot through the choir practice and this enlarged my capacity. I've finally learned some singing techniques as well. As you have heard this: "Practice makes perfect". Since Saturday I've been practising and practising again and again, until I can sing the 2nd voice of some songs, which is a new beginning for me. :)
Everybody can sing 2nd voice!!! :D We don't need to have some special kind of talent to be able to sing 2nd voice. Maybe to some people they can, but not everyone is skillful in music right? God has given each and everyone a special talent. So don't let it die, use it!!! If we're not skillful in one particular area, it doesn't matter. We don't have to be discouraged, but press on. As I used this expression in my presentation last week, "Fake it until you make it!" You have to fake your emotions and your capacity that you can do it and indeed your effort will be fruitful. It's just like my 2nd voice singing.
Well to conclude this post, I don't have the skill to teach 2nd voice yet, but it will come soon! So in the meanwhile, just do your best as your side as well. Do your best until you excel. There's nothing to be ashamed of when you become the best. You don't have to be so humble. hehehe...

Passion World Tour - Kuala Lumpur
Hello people!!!! You have here a new Robin!!! If you knew the old Robin, well you better get to know the new one!!! He is no longer the same as he used to be! If you knew him as a quiet guy or maybe talkative, well let me tell you something, THIS GUY IS NO LONGER THE SAME!!!! He's more talkative than before, he's more passionate than before and not only that, he's crazier than before!!! Why why why??? It's all because of....
THE PASSION WORLD TOUR CONFERENCE!!!!
PASSION!!!

Yeah Robin went to Passion World Tour Conference!!!
Yesterday night was the passion conference and it was a blast!!! It was beyond my imagination. Yes I met Chris Tomlin and Charlie Hall for the first time! Guys, this conference is life changing man! Guess what? There were 4000 over people attending this conference and not only that, they were college students!!! I'm overwhelmed myself! 4000 students from KL universities gathered here in Sunway Convention Center. I tell you the hall was packed and all the tickets were SOLD OUT!!! Can you hear that? SOLD OUT!!! I've never heard of this before! If you go to any famous celebrity concert, I don't think that the tickets will be sold out! I even remembered last time I went for Backstreet Boys Concert, I didn't have to pay for it as I received a pair of free tickets. Recently Chris Daughtry came to Malaysia for a concert and free tickets were given out also. Why were they giving out free tickets? Well because there were not a lot of people buying and to come and attend the concerts. That is indeed the truth.

Well Passion conference was indeed AWESOME!!! If you really want to know how awesome it is, actually it's INDESCRIBABLE! You should have come for this conference and experience it yourself. From the beginning till the end, it's just wonderful of how we all as one worship God in this place. They had a Fantastic Band which was absolutely marvelous! Wow!!! Since when my vocabulary has improved? :P From Awesome to Marvelous, well just imagine how GREAT this event was!!!
Passion World Tour KL - taken by me
On my arrival to Sunway Pyramid, I had to wait for this bunch of people from CF to come so that we can go together. Well it was worth waiting, I was enjoying those little girls ice skating. I've always enjoyed ice skating because there's a lot of agility and grace. Anyway it's going off topic already! So afterwards I met my bunch of friends and we ate at Wendy's! The burger is NICE!!! It's big and nice! Better than McD! Sorry McD, I was never your faithful customer anyway since you opened yourself in Mauritius! Alright after eating in Wendy's, we went to queue up from 4PM as the event starts at 6PM. Well being conscious that the 4000 tickets were sold out, I urged them to go early. But still there were some lazy bump! Anyway as we went to queue up, I went to buy the Passion CD+DVD(RM35) and the Tshirt(RM60). Ok to some people it's super expensive, but I don't really care 'cause I won't get to go to Passion so soon. I don't think that there'll be any promotion either. Well it doesn't mean that I'm a rich guy or whatever but just imagine, if you were in my place, there's no other Tshirt like that you will find and it's the last stock and that's the only price and this Tshirt is super duper nice, wouldn't you be like me and buy it??? Well I bought it and I'm happy about it! Sorry for all the losers who didn't buy! I will wear it proudly in college!!! MUAHAHAHA!!!
(taken from 268blog.com)
Queuing up for 2hrs is not fun to tell you the truth but it's worthwhile! There was a very large crowd queuing up and it was getting hot and we couldn't feel the air con anymore. I bought a Wendy's Burger early, so I ate it there while queuing up. Some people really envy my burger and I didn't really care. They thought that I would be disgusted by their envy for my burger. Well this doesn't work on me, sorry guys, when I have something to eat, I can eat it like nobody's business! :)
(taken from 268blog.com)
After 2hrs of queuing up, the doors finally opened!!! Guess what? If you don't move together as the crowd is moving in, I think you can die. Why am I saying that? Well as soon as the doors were opened, the crowd ran into the convention center! Everyone wanted to go and and get a seat in front of the stage in the middle! Everyone was running like crazy and I got push and bang by few kids! Hey wait! Kids???? How come there were kids in this event? I thought it was only for university students!!! I tell you, these kids pushed me and hit me like nobody's business, rushing to get a seat in the front. I tell you, if I was the father of this kid that pushed me, I would hit me and be punished for months!!! Haha!! Why am I talking like a father now???
I also ran like crazy anyway! I wanted to get a seat and I'm very super satisfied with my seat! Just imagine, I was sitting on the 5th row in front of the stage and I had a very super nice view man!!!! I got to reserve seats for my friends and then Michelle, Jacklyn, Li-Anne and Nally came to sit with me. So we started to take pictures and a lot of pictures!!!
Soon the lights were off and the band started to come on stage and this is their intro!
Intro of Passion
Chris Tomlin - taken by me!
The Band really brought the atmosphere and the presence of God into this place. Everyone was singing, although most of the songs were new to us but we just sang new song to Jesus! After that Louis came on stage and started to share the message of God. I tell you, I was so impacted that I've never ever heard this kind of message before. It was so positive, simple and powerful! He said that as university students we should make the name of Jesus famous in our campus, in our city. Then we sang the song God of this City. Louis, then continued this message after the song and he shared about the story of a girl named Ashley - a girl who like partying like crazy! She wrote in her diary of how she was before and how her life was messing up. This is how it started to change when she met a girl who became her housemate Christa she called her Fruitcake. In her diary, she shared how Fruitcake loved and cared for her and how she was different from other Christians that she has met before. Well in brief, after knowing her housemate Fruitcake for 7days, she became a Christian. Ashley was about to graduate from the university of Florida in January until she passed away. Yeah the story was quite sad, but the story behind it, is that Jesus became famous in her life and even her divorced parents saw the changes of her life. What I learned from this story, we ought to be like Fruitcake and make Jesus famous in our campus and in our city. This is what passion is all about.

Well guys and girls reading my blog, after this conference, my life has changed. I even cried during this conference because it was so impact. From now on, as I've said in the beginning, this Robin is not the same anymore as you have known him. He is not only crazy but crazier about Jesus!!! :)

Me and my music
What is my calling?
This is the question that has been resounding in my head for quite some time now.
Recently I've been involved in a lot of musical stuffs. It seems that there's a lot of doors opening for me to become a "star!" Well I've been singing and playing guitar for the past few weeks I must say.
1. Student Affairs Called me to sing and play guitar for a retreat for secondary school students. It was then cancelled but the thing is that I was appreciated by people who knew me and my talent in music.
2. During the Autistic center trip (i have to post about it soon), I was asked by my lecturer Ms Daisy to prepare some songs and to sing. So I've prepared 3 songs. It was a fun time there.
3. I've finally been leading song in my cell group. Today will be my 3rd time. YES!!!
4. Talentime competition - i sang solo for the singing competition and a lot of people congratulate me although the results are not out yet.
5. I was offered a free ticket to go to Daughtry Concert - but I couldn't go as I had something on that time :(
6. Recently I'm very and super inspired to compose songs. New songs are coming to me everyday.
Well I wonder if ever I have any future in the musical world. I'm feeling myself to be more creative and more inspired these days. The thing that really touched me is that people appreciate me and my talent for music. I'm really blessed actually. Maybe this is the start of something new! :)
