London Update

Hello hello everyone!..

How's things?..Well, its a Monday morning here, and I have approx 20mins before i have start leaving to go to work, and i was thinking of you guys and FCC..actually, i've been thinking about you guys quite a lot this week..And so, i thought it would be nice to give you guys an update about how things are going here with my life in London...

Oh where do i start? haha!

So, Uni's started again for me, and i'm in my second week, of my final year here. Yes, my time here in London is down to a matter of months. This time next year, i'll be complaining already about how hot it is in Malaysia, and really really missing my life, friends and church in London. So my time here now is super valuable.

With church, wow, there has been so many things happening recently, its crazy!..
Just this week, we've had Hillsong Conference, and that's been amazing. Ps Joseph Prince, Craig Groeschel, Brian & Bobbie Houston, Christine Caine, Joel Houston, Reuben Morgan, Israel Houghton and New Breed...super sweet as!..
I didnt manage to go for the whole conference though, just for one day, and that was cool enough..(coz last year, i went for the full conference, and this year, i had classes..)
Also, not sure if you guys know, i'm on the worship team now, and since a few weeks back, i started singing what we call 'frontline'...if you watch most Hillsong stuff, they usually have 5-6 vocals singing side by side with the Worship Leader, so yea, started singing frontline, and i think its the biggest stage i've had so far. Yesterday, Israel and New Breed sang at our church, and it was really cool watching them do their thing, and the guys (and girls) of New Breed are friggin funny!..haha!..most cool was, Joel Houston was worship leading yesterday, and I shared the stage with him..no photos or videos unfortunately, but man, it really was a dream come true. I remember the many times sleeping over at Joseph's house, or Joash's house, listening to a United cd, and trying to figure out what Joel is singing, or how he's worship leading, and just really having a super small thought at the back of our minds, would be cool to see him personally.

So yea, i'm really grateful for how far i've come since i've been here. So many dreams have come true, and so many new dreams have been birthed. What was once so amazing, like singing in Hillsong, or even being a part of the church, is now a reality. I've really been blessed by his amazing love and grace over my life. He's been friggin amazing!

This picture was taken at Young Adult's Live, an event we have every 3 months or so, at another venue, and the worship leader here is Jay, and the crowd is, you guessed it, Hillsong's Young Adults. (I didn't sing here)

These photos were taken last year at our album recording, but just to give an idea of the church.

Also, if you guys dont know yet, i've got myself a girlfriend here. Yes, i caved...haha!
Her name's Simone, and she's Brazilian. But don't start generalizing coz she doesnt look anything like Gisele Bunchen, or Ronaldo or Ronaldinho (thank God!)..(one thing London has taught me, is that i cant generalize about ppl at all!...) She's Brazilian Japanese, just like there are so many of us who are Malaysian Chinese, except that she's 3rd generation, meaning her grandparents went over to Brazil from Japan.
If you're wondering what she speaks, no, its not Brazilian, its Portuguese, coz they were a Portuguese colony as well, but the difference with them compared to us is, it became the main language there. In fact, I think the only thing that's Japanese about Simone is her looks, everything else about her is very Brazilian!..She's loud (although she's small), crazy, and loves life! She's really an amazing girl and i cant wait for you guys to meet her one day..

Simone's the little girl on my left. Don't be fooled by her size, she's really a chili padi!

Woah, i've gone waaaay over my time, and i'm late for work!..

Come say hi to me on facebook guys, we can catch up there!...

Hope everyone's doing fine yea?..and i really wana hear from you all...tell me what's been happening at FCC, good or bad alright?..

Later!d
