Staying tuned for God to give me a dictionary word for 2008... (2006: restoration; 2007: introduce + intesnify).
Tuesday, January 08, 2008
My first dictionary word for 2008 is... accelerate.
vti 1. go faster: to move increasingly quickly, or cause something to do this 2. progress faster: to happen or develop faster, or cause something to do this
(Encarta's World English Dictionary)
Chris and I were praying today and the word slipped out, so there ya go.
Sooo... Goodnight :-) I need to get up early and handwash stuff.

and no cheating, watch them in Cantonese
Shi Mian Mai Fu - House of Flying Daggers
Director: Yimou Zhang
During the Tang dynasty, a beautiful young dancer, Mei (Ziyi Zhang) is arrested when government officials discover she is possibly the daughter of anti-government organisation The House of Flying Daggers. A plot is hatched in which officer Jin (Takeshi Kenishiro) aids her escape from prison, and assuming she will lead them to the groups leader, she is carefully followed by government forces. But everything is definitely not as it seems, and what follows is an epic tale of love, conspiracy and tradgedy.
Ngo Foo Chong Lung - Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon
Director: Yimou Zhang
Ying Xiong - Hero
Director: Ang Lee
In a China marked by provincial warring, the King of Qin embarks on a mission to unify China and create one people. Because of this, the King is under constant attempts by China's most infamous and dangerous assassins, Sky (Donnie Yen), Broken Sword (Leung Chiu Wai) and Flying Snow (Maggie Chiung)... Until word comes that a mystery warrior, known only as Nameless (Jet Li), has killed them all. Nameless is called to the palace to give account of his tale and what follows is a captivating story of love and conspiracy told through Ang's use of incredible cinematography conveying Nameless' story in flashbacks. You won't figure out the truth until the end.

Top twelve things right now:
1. Dr. Fermin Tabasaurez! He was my doctor in Coota, and I didn't manage to find one in the city during the course of 2007. I went to see him on Wednesday about a blood test, and he told me that he's moving to Sydney later this month... and will be working out of the medical centre closest to my house.
- Jeremiah 42; Nehemiah 8:1-9; Proverbs 19; John 3; Ephesians.
- Baby Oliver - Because he's a child of promise, and just plain gorgeous.
- Baby Oliver's family, because they're a big bunch of beautiful people.
- My own family - because you'll never find anyone quite like a Bryant!
- Yiern's time away being roughly 1/3 over and her incredible photos.
- Gyimah the original Blackaneese, because he's prepared to sacrifice his health to eat my food. And he's gonna bring dessert... Anyone who bring dessert is worthy of the honor of being on my top twelve list.
- Jordan Chubb for his War + Peace sized emails and the fact that he has a toy reindeer
- Joshua Ballard - For introducing me to the Eee PC and because he's on his way to being an incredible author - Maybe it's because I love all the 'ologies', but I can't wait to read his work on the social history of Christian marriage. *cough*yesiamanerd*cough*
- Amulya Jain! Just because he's Amulya; there is no other way to describe him or reason to justify his appearance on my list. I'm convinced that he's my brother who went missing and showed up at Uni after spending his life in India.
- New Years Eve and the (my!) honourable Dr. Hannah Jones (M.D)
- Scott James falling asleep on my lounge on NYE... How many times? Haha. And how many times after Brian asked for a lift home did Scott push 'play' on the DVD player to watch another movie chapter... and then fall asleep again? Ahh what to say what to say... Princess chrome dome is a champ.
Ok godnight.
Hmm I meant to say 'goodnight', but somehow 'godnight' fits better :-)
Love yas xx
