Happy New Year!!

Another full rotation around the sun, another new turn to life! Happy 2006, everyone!!

Yesterday, Aunty Kim took me and my brothers to watch The Chronicles of Narnia. It was our Christmas present and so was the Indian dinner after that too. She is such a strong and capable lady, Aunty Kim. The last time we saw her was last week when she moved into her new place from the nursing quarters up in Randwick (still close to the hospital where she works as a nurse) and since then, she bought a new tv and some pillows and put up some pictures. Her home is so simple, and vintage (my brothers' words). She wanted to do interior design if she hadn't gotten herself stuck in nursing and had kids!

I thought the Narnia movie was amazing...so, perhaps good but not great, as Mr. Winoto said. I just love the battlescenes from most of the movies that have been out. The magnificent cinematography coupled with the awesome soundtrack and just blows my mind away. And I could sense how C.S. Lewis had incorporated the story of God's saving grace into the story.

Can you imagine how the White witch thought that Aslan was doing the most stupid thing ever? As in how Satan must have thought Jesus was doing likewise when he chose to die in the mercy of his hands? How dumb can he be? Not only does God makes silly people like us who keep on disobeying him but Jesus does the ultimate silly thing! But wait.....it wasn't stupid! What Satan didn't know was that Jesus would conquer death like how Aslan did in the movie!

Anyway, here is what I did during Christmas eve ...had dinner with my family in sydney:

Brian (my cousin, Tsushan's husband) is giving me a look for taking a pic of him....haha...he's such a funny bloke to bag out and he does it to me too! We were at Aunty Yen's parents-in-law's place. Aunty Kim came too , so did my brothers.

My little cousin, Jessica and me :)
