Christmas 2009

This year's Christmas has been different, but still special. I missed being home with family. My mum dressed our Christmas tree at home and I reminded her to keep it up till I got home. Christmas Eve was spent at home with my housemate. We shared pasta and tang yuen.

I attended the Christmas service at a church nearby. Well, I was a complete stranger in a big church. Not one familiar face except the pastor whom I had heard speak before at my previous church. BUT I did shake about more than ten hands though. A highlight from the service was this line. "The human heart was never made to be satisfied with material things."

To sum up Christmas day this year...lunch at Subway, bought my first 2 DVDs here (Disney Pixar's UP & 500 Days of Summer), and spent the rest of the day studying at home.

I just finished watching "UP". This is going on my list of favorite movies. The list is not long, so this was a really good one for me. The married life portrayed in the movie is a good example! Not to mention the great music on the soundtrack. I had tears in my eyes during some scenes--truly touching. I shall be watching it again soon! Please do watch it if you haven't already.
