Dear Santa, reminiscence.

I miss that paiseh face. Deeply........:)

Dear Santa, Happy CNY and Valentine's Day!

Hey there people! Ain't wanna hog the Facebook status or MSN personal message and therefore wanna wish all of you a very Happy Chinese New Year! I wanna tell my family and my uncles, aunties, cousins, nephews, nieces, grand-aunt etc.... that I really miss them loads as this would be my first Chinese New Year without all of them. As I tasted the pineapple tarts that my older homie brought back from home, memories and thoughts just came to my mind that how being with these people really mean to me. The good food, company (even though there are difficulties in the language department :p), really noisy nephews and nieces...... arghhh.... emo :(. Nonetheless, I truly believe that I would go back to all of them one day to celebrate this cheerful festive season. With lots of love and hugs!!!! :D

Secondly, I wanna wish to all couples; married and attached a Happy Valentine's Day! Actually, I don't really fancy Valentine's hype as to me, everyday IS a Valentine's with my other half regardless whether it is Monday or Sunday, rain or shine, good or bad times and bronze or golden anniversary any I believe all of you felt the same way too :)*Is there such thing as a bronze anniversary???*. For singles especially Christians; there is a Lover for each of us. I did not sit down and ponder about girls/loneliness/ envy which even I myself was surprise. I serenaded, gave flowers/chocolates, kissed and hugged my Heavenly Papa which will be the greatest Lover that I will ever have. He said I love you thru John 3:16, serenaded us in Zep 3:17, gave us the best present ever that transcends the most pricey gift in the world which is our Lord Jesus Christ in Matthew 1: 18-25 and of cause, He loves to surprise us in Luke 1:49!! Who says He aint' romantic?? :D Thank you my dear Lover and I really appreciate it. :D

Again, Happy Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day to everyone! Enjoy this extra awesome-licious day and Papa bless! :D

Dear Santa, The Skies.

I love the skies of Adelaide. Early this morning, I camped myself at the backyard with my trusty phone and bible and just gazed into the Heavens. As winter approaches, it is fairly normal to have massive clouds blanketing the whole city but somehow, the stars decided that enough is enough and they were just there; twinkling and winking and even Mars decided to join in the fun!

The aura of serenity just soothe my heart and soul. What more can you ask for with thousands of twinkles up there, limited light sources, rustling leaves, neighbor's wind chime singing to the tune of the blowing wind and cool breeze brushed against my face? I was just in awe of Papa's creation and I really thank Him for that. My love for Him just grew stronger everyday as I completely dedicate my life for Him to take over and guide me wherever He wants me to go. I was blessed by Him with the things I have, the people around me and lessons in life that He thought me which is so valuable that it transcends every life expectations and law that humans had ever laid. :)

Every single star in the sky is unique whether they are small, big, dim or bright. However, all of them possess a common trait to me which is assurance. Every time I gaze above, my mind would wander to the hardship that I had and would pour everything out to Papa up there. How Papa assure me that He will always be by my side would be using the stars to wink at me! I just felt the love and care just by looking at His beautiful creation. I can't imagine the indescribable feeling if we meet Him face to face in Heaven! :D

I finally met someone who shares the same sentiment as me that star gazing is more than just looking at them with the telescope, more than just using physics and chemistry to describe their existence, more than just gazing at them and feeling all lovey dovey, more than just being able to read the constellation maps and more than just being there for the sake of being there! :D I just wanna thank Papa for bringing you to me. You know who you are. :)

Ahhh, after an hour full of goodness, called it a day.

Dear Santa, Something Out of the Blue.

My top two favourite quotes of the year 2008.

"The best thing to do that could make you sleep is to talk to the one you love most"- Mindy, 2008

"You have to remember only one important point about OCF. You will never ever find the same fellowship and bonding anywhere else"- Faii, 2008

Dear Santa, Hokkien Hee.

Before I left for boring Adelaide, I prayed so hard that the idiot box would reduce the amount of Hokkien shows by at least 68%. Not that the shows suck or the language could crack even the strongest eardrums but when there is WAY too much of similarities being shoved into your senses, you will grow to hate them. Unfortunately when I came back, not only it does not achieve my personal preferable goal, but it multiplied like cockroaches and it's basically on television 24/7!!! Here are some cliches that made the shows tiresome and reasons why I grew to hate them.

1. The amount of episodes could easily fit 20 Korean series in it. The pacing of these shows are soooooo slow that it could put a Jack Russell or the most hyper ADHD kid into a deep slumber. Seriously, the script could begin from the -1st generation to the 4th generation! Notice that the -1st is not a typo where it refers to a story that happened between the main characters and their parents/grandparents/greatgrandparents. I was watching (forcefully) this show where I assumed that it's gonna end in fashionable style where the main character's kid will get married (FINALLY) and live happily ever after, then WHAM, the story continues with the grandchildren where more conspiracy and triangle love would arrive to mess up their lifes. To me, it's a pretty cheap way to extend the damn story as they could just make it a sequel or something.
2. Haven't I seen you somewhere before? Yes, that's right. Every show would have the same ole casts, same expressions, same role but different hairstyles. Look, I really support the world's effort to recycle but NOT recycling the casts. If it's two or three shows, I could still bear the agony but when they are in every single one of them, contemplating suicide would be a walk in the park for me.
3. The plot........is just plain cliche till I myself felt bored while writing this sentence. Sometimes I wonder whether these shows have a scriptwriter or not. This are the few atrocities that these shows had commited:

• Business rivalries. I just so love the parts where the characters would go to their rival's office and spend their sweet time mocking one another with really stupid comments where they could spend time drafting smart strategies to eliminate competition. They just talk too much......like UMNO.
• Family hierarchy complications. One important note bout these shows. The character's parents are not their REAL parents. Trust me. Why? Cause apparently, they have this tradition of baby swapping during that era. Must be an IN thing eh?
• Crying. I just don't understand why every single episode involves crying. If you have too much water to spare, please give them to Singapore where they badly need fresh clean water and they won't have to drink their own recycled waste. One Liter of Tears will only occupy a small corner booth in the Crying Fiesta 2009 compare to these shows. UGH!
• Asshole mother-in-law. Hohohoho, this is classic. This would definitely please hardcore feminists to show the world that women ain't no weak creatures. WOOT!!!

There you go. FTI, I have to bear all these cuz my mum loves them to bits. Thanks a BUNCH to 8tv and NTV7. I won't miss you...seriously. Same goes to Astro. Mediacorp rulz!!!

Dear Santa, It's Tough.

Lord Father, I wanna ask you why is it extremely hard to have a significant other? The only perspective I had in my mind is that I am fighting a losing battle. Just as I had settle down and having the thoughts that we are meant for one another, I found out that you do not share the same thoughts as I am. Therefore, I tried to support and cater to all your needs as I just want to see you happy and living a good life but as time goes by, I am growing tired and weary of all this. Is it because of the unrequited love or I lack the discipline to do so? I really do not know because my only goal is to see you living a fulfilling life being getting a good career, the guy you like, conquering sadness and living every moment with joy and serenity. Lord Father, I just wanna pray for strength, wisdom and faith to be within me as I would not grow tired and weary knowing your presence by my side. Unrequited love is extremely hard, but I believe that I can give unconditional love to her and just to pray and be there when she needs support. Thank you Lord Father and I felt so much better after talking to You. :D

Dear Santa, its EMO time!!!

Yeah. 3.20am in the mornin', still awake, chattin' with friends in the country recently with the newly elected president. Need to blast emoness since ain't doin' it in my daily life.

When I see you smillin', I felt so rewarded and content by knowin' that you had just experienced love and happiness. Those eyes of yours assured me that says, "Hey silly. Look, I'm estatic!"

When I see a smile that tries to cover up a sadness, I felt there is no way I could put on a masquerade show as you do and would not buy the statement, "Nothin larrrrrrr, I'm OK, don't worry." From my heart, I hope that you could share on whats troublin' ya.

When I see you bein' sad, I just want to be by your side, listen to every detail about it, slot in an encouragin' line or two, providin' a shoulder to lean on or support cuz you are too busy cryin' where there is water loss and your head became mushy and the body could not support anymore. I want you to know that there is someone out there who cares, who listens, who shares, who cried and who strives to understand the pain you are goin' through apart from our lovely Lord Father.

When I see a sad face coverin' up a smile..........Nah, you're just bein' cheeky. :)

Yes, and I am sure that I wanna do all the above for the rest of my life. I also want to assure you that it is alright for you to not acknowledge all this as it's what I wanna do and there's nothin' in this world that matters more then seein' you leadin' a blissful and happy life.

Seriously shit, I dunno WTFFFF am I writin' also. Hmmm.......
