The Chronicles of Narnia 2- Prince Caspian‏ is finally out!!!

Yeah!!! The Chronicles of Narnia 2- Prince Caspian‏ is finally out liao! This is really the long waited show sia. This is a movie set with a Christian theme. The 1st movie was about sacrification and salvation.So, what 's the 2nd movie gonna talk about?Can't wait to find out...

SYNOPSIS OF THE MOVIE

The characters of C.S. Lewis's timeless fantasy come to life once again in this newest installment of the "Chronicles of Narnia" series, in which the Pevensie siblings are magically transported back from England to the world of Narnia, where a thrilling, perilous new adventure and an even greater test of their faith and courage awaits them.

One year after the incredible events of "The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe," the Kings and Queens of Narnia find themselves back in that faraway wondrous realm, only to discover that more than 1300 years have passed in Narnian time. During their absence, the Golden Age of Narnia has become extinct, Narnia has been conquered by the Telmarines and is now under the control of the evil King Miraz, who rules the land without mercy.

The four children will soon meet an intriguing new character: Narnia's rightful heir to the throne, the young Prince Caspian, who has been forced into hiding as his uncle Miraz plots to kill him in order to place his own newborn son on the throne. With the help of the kindly dwarf, Trumpkin, a courageous talking mouse named Reepicheep, a badger named Trufflehunter and a Black Dwarf, Nikabrik, the Narnians, led by the mighty knights Peter and Caspian, embark on a remarkable journey to find Aslan, rescue Narnia from Miraz's tyrannical hold, and restore magic and glory to the land.

THE KID ACTORS THAT ARE ALL GROWN UP NOW....
NEW CHARACTER:PRINCE CASPIAN

Why I would like to catch this movie:

I like watching movies. Especially movies that have subtle meanings behind that leaves you thinking about it after the movie. The Chronicles of Narnia is really fascinating and that each characters and events in the movies represented some significant meanings and theories that C.S Lewis wanted to share with the world. Furthermore, these are brought out in a very interesting way through the showcase of fantasies and mythical characters. It is really one movie that I look forward to alot!

Grace for Asia!

Just finished work....Tired, sleepy and have to wake up early tommorrow.So will not be blogging much. But will share with you all a super duper nice story that our church sunday school teacher shared today...

Teacher Daniel Soh shared with us at Sunday school today a miracle which happened in China.The Organization is called "Grace for Asia".

This Pastor, Ben Brown is the Pastor of International Baptize Church in Singapore and a member of the organisation to distribute bibles. He went along with the team to distribute 352 bibles in a church in Shang Dong and yet another 310 bibles in another church.

They went through tedious application process and even at the custom, they were checked. The Chinese authority wanted to ensure that the team only brought 352 and 310 bibles and nothing more.

When Ben Brown arrived at the first church, he was told that there were already 600+ people waiting outside the church for the bibles. Ben Brown told the church he had only applied and brought the 352 bibles. And they had no alternative but decided to just distribute whatever they had... They started to distribute the bibles.

When they only had around 80 bibles left, Ben Brown and the team knew that they just had to disappoint the 81th person and onwards. And as they carried on giving out the bibles, they realised ALL THE 600+ PEOPLE IN THE QUEUE RECEIVED THE BIBLES.

And you won't believe this... there were not 12 baskets left like in the 5 loaves and 2 fishes story, BUT there was actually one bible left. They closed the church door when one woman knocked on the door. She banged and knocked and claimed that she came from another town far away and must receive the bible today. She explained that her bus was delayed and therefore she wasn't able to come any earlier.

You guessed it, the final bible was meant for her. She received the last bible.

The bibles went through the custom check and the number of bibles (352) was VERIFIED by the Chinese authority. So what happened? 5 loaves and 2 fishes...

Pastor Ben Brown went on to the next church with the 310 bibles this time round. Now, the queue was with 500+ people.

They did the same thing and thought to themselves, one miracle was good enough. They distributed the bibles without much delay and ALL THE 500+ PEOPLE RECEIVED THE BIBLES!

Ben Brown and the team could not have done anything else except for kneeling down in front of the LORD and cried and praised Him.

Miracle in 2008 touches me a lot. I couldn't help but praise the Lord for His goodness.

Our Almighty Lord is the living God who is still performing His miracles in our daily life. Observe carefully and before long you will know lots of miracles have happened in your life...

He is good all the time! Amen!

Cheers
Tommy

The oil, is for everywhere you feel it's dry. Like split ends on your hair, your elbow, your nose and knees...and everywhere else. Cool ya?Haha!

She also came and asked whether we need more sauce...
"怎样?够SAUCE吗?不够跟我说,我拿整支给你。”


When we raised up our hand to ask for the bills...
She came and said...
"Aiya.不用举手,叫我名字就可以了。不过有些人要叫我范文方, 我不好意思应才。”
