4 months?!?

holy cow! what a slackard! it's been 4 months already since my last blog and soooooo much has happened! since november 25th, 2007, i went home to LA for the holidays, went snow boarding in mammoth, got sick, came back, went to hong kong, tokyo, and MUMBAI! my first trip to india and it was amazing! hope to go back soon. it's definitely a place where anything and everything goes. as a developing city, you see the old and the new colliding in the most interesting and sometimes inconvenient way, but all heading towards a dynamic progress. it has a tremendous energy, something is always going on, constant movement on the streets and you become a part of it. the food was fantastic! i'm in love with the northern indian cuisine, and yes, some very good looking bloaks out there!

S'pore on the contrary is a peaceful exchange to mumbai - quiet and highly developed, boring in comparison but you can let out a big sigh. i'm discovering more and more idiosyncracies about this place, for example, people have an amazing ability to walk in slow motion but still cut you off in an instant. and what's up with decaf??? it's more difficult to get a cup of decaf here, and not only here but in tokyo. walk into any starbucks in tokyo and ask for a tall decaf and inevitably the barrista politely request that you wait 10 minutes extra. considering i make "coffee nervous," i never take the leisure offer.

i am trying to play tennis when i can, IF i can find someone to play with. also thinking about taking up wakeboarding (that should be interesting). found an awesome church with great people in Spore called every nation church singapore, and someone in the church that offered to teach me to play the guitar! yes, alot has happened in the 4 months that i have been blog-less.

today is easter, i am reminded of the GREAT EXCHANGE, one where we exchanged a King for a criminal, His life for mine, when heaven opened up and invited us in.
