hahahaha....i keep hearing that song during these few days following up to christmas.

Half a day is almost gone! oh man.....feel like doing a lot of things at once. i feel like going for dancing, yoga, learning jap again etc etc....

but then, there's only so little time. hahahaha....maybe we should do a thesis on the economy of time, instead of resources. treat time like a resource - unlimited wants, limited time.

okok...enough of the rambling self-talk.

anyway..I'm just looking forward to completing the birthday presents...i love making birthday presents because it shows alot. like christmas gifts, it shows how much you care for the person and the sincerity. which is why i never like just buying presents...it's better to go through that perrsonal touch before giving it to someone. yet, not many of us have the time?

yeah.....there's never such a thing as no time if you really care about the person. i kept thinking, if the deaths of my long-time neighbour and distant cousin as well as vonk's uncle ever taught me anything, it's to treasure the living while they are still here. and not, according to my late grandfather, 做戏during the funeral...there's some truth in his words you know. funeral is not for the dead, funerals are for the grieving/"grieving" living.

which is why.i just tot of smsing a merry christmas wish to some people who may not expect me to - before it's too late. like because of some stuff that caused our friendship to fall out and all...yeah, people whom have fallen out because of some differences in money etc. it's really not worth it.

i'm leaving my emotional corpses behind in 2007 and moving on to 2008. Afterall, your friends will always be here for you in good times and bad times. I'm really glad i have friends like them...my christmas wish for you, my dear reader, is that you have friends like that as well.

you don't need christmas to be happy or to share the joy.....why can't we do that every single day?

Merry christmas everyone! May this day carry forth your dreams and wishes for the next year....there's so much to be grateful and thankful for. Don't take anything for granted....before you realise it, it'll be too late...

p.s xinyi:

hahaha....it's all right darl, i'm really sorry for saying those 逆耳 stuff. i'd rather hurt you than let you be hurt ya? yeah....really glad you're feeling better already. don't be too hard on yourself, you deserve to be happy too!

in any way, we'll be here for you always! hahaha...i'm sure vann and nat would say the same too =D

Dear Prince Charming,

Happy Christmas! It's finally here and still we haven't meet yet! overseas on a holiday i suppose? hahaha....i tell you something funny i heard over the news, bet you'll laugh as hard as i did...

remember the taxi fare hike that took place recently? they were interviewing some taxi uncles to get their opinion on how business is like after the hike. some complained that there is as much as 20% cut in business etc. but there was this particular uncle, he said in chinese: "当然没有人搭taxi la!那些ang moh 都回去celebrate christmas liao. then 那些会搭的都去外国了 。 现在剩下那些只要搭mrt和bus的吗。。。哪里会有生意？“

it just sounded so hilarious in that taxi-uncle tone of voice....really, sometimes i think they are the soul of singaporeans...they hear everyting and know everything from a customer...and moreover, there's some wisdom in their words too....i mean, it may sound crude and unpolished. but it's the truth...if they feel it, then something must be wrong somewhere.

but in any case, i hope you've enjoyed christmas...hahaha....next time when christmas comes, be sure that we enjoy it together! i don't need roses, or perfume, or diamonds or a candle-light dinner....all i want is for us to be together...over a nice warm dinner and a cup of hot chocolate....merry christmas dear!

Yours in time,
