Passion

I was at the Passion concert at the Sunway Convention Centre on Sunday night.

It was an exhilirating experience. Full of joy and celebration. For life, for love, for all things good and beautiful. For God.

I was initially apprehensive. The crowd as we queued before the doors was HUGE. The organisers estimated a presence of 5,000. Worship music was blaring from somewhere, the crowd cheered. Almost like a mob before a rock concert. My heart did a little flip. My hmate says I'm like her dog. Both of us don't like crowds, it makes us dizzy.

Although a bit highly-strung in the beginning, I felt better after the speaker, Louie Giglioe (sorry I can't spell his name) spoke. After warming up, I really loved the songs! I couldn't really help it anyway, I was sitting with two very 'high' people. The songs are so full of hope and joy. They're a reminder that religion should be a celebration, and not something you turn to only in distress, which sadly I'm apt to do most times.

Chris Tomlin and Charlie Hall sang the songs for us that night. Accompanied by a band of course, in full rock style. A christian rock band. Haha. If you were there too and want their songs, go to baidu and search these two names. =)

No, I'm not a convert.

I went grocery shopping at Carrefour today.


The price rise is obscene!
Words failed me when I saw this:

400ml of Pantene shampoo cost about RM13-14 a month ago. I bought it in Giant Alor Star for RM10-11 two months ago. The anti-hairfall control one has done quite a good job keeping my hair attached to my scalp. But I can't afford it anymore.... sobs.

Dove shampoo, 375ml. I remember paying Rm9.90 for it last semester.

Loreal Elseve, 400ml. This one ar, can only buy when it's on promotion la.

Rejoice is the cheapest of all! I seriously considered buying it, although I hate how it makes my hair smell like overripe fruit.

In the end, I got Prefers instead. 750ml for 19.50. Cheap! Haven't tried it before, I hope my hair likes soya milk.
I really have start saving on shampoo. 1 bottle lasts slightly more than a month only for me. Die la liddat.

And this.

It used to be a buy 2 free 1 pack for the same price. For the longest time. Now, no more can you find a pack of 3 anywhere..

I'm sad.
