here we are as in olden days,
happy golden days of yore.
faithful friends who are dear to us
gather near to us once more.

through the years we all will be together,
if the fates allow
hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
and have yourself a merry little christmas now.

christmas time has been making me oh so sentimental, and now that it's christmas eve, i guess im feeling the full blow of nostalgia. i love the idea that christmas is a time where family and old friends come together no matter how far away they are or what they've been doing. i really can't seem to find such a warm and loving spirit in the air during any other season of the year. christmas makes you think of the people you love and miss. and it kinda gives you the desire to see everyone who's dear to you.

i miss my brother dearly, and i wish more than anything that he were here. i can just imagine him playing the piano like old times. but he isn't here. and no matter what christmas won't be complete without him. it makes me really sad to think the next time i see him will be in july or august next year. i really miss him terribly. it just isn't the same without him. i wish he'd come home. oh well he's probably having a great time holidaying in argentina now.






well all this sentimentality, as well as heon's post, has inspired me to do this.
to: vic, ros, jan and ping





THANK YOU
for taking me in when i had no one.
for caring when no one else cared.
without you guys i would be nothing.

i really appreciate everything you guys have done for me.
more than i can begin to describe, really.
THANK YOU.
i miss you'll alot.
please meet up soon.


christmas eve dinner tonight at my place. then countdown at uncle pengyang's. it's always my favourite night of the year. but over the years our numbers have dwindled so. it's just mine and wei's (not weiling, xi-wei) family now. no more andrew or jon. it makes me abit sad that the 4 of us have drifted so much. to think we used to be so tight. nothing ever stays the same, does it.

oh well, merry christmas everyone !
