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....

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!!!

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! :)

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.


P A S S I O N

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!!! :)

Favorite song during Passion - Sing, Sing, Sing & God of this City
