~Merry X'mas~

I was lucky that I had a chance to live in a country (for 5 years) which has a X'mas Magic every year in December. I understand what Christmas Magic really is, but somehow I always feel that this is a 'foreign' festival and it has something, but nothing so important, to do with me. I mean I celebrate it with friends, but not really having a Christmas Tree decoration or Caroling with any church buddies.

This year, I think I finally understand what it is. I can feel the Magic in my heart, I have got so many people to thanks and forgive.

First of all, I thank you my Parents, for the unlimited love that you gave me, sometimes I misunderstood it as burden and control. Without you who am I? Thank you for bringing me to this earth and guide me along the way with your experience and hard work. Thank you for the numberous patient you have given me during the growing pain, for the food you bring to the table and the blood money you contrubute to my higher education study. I love you and I wish life continue to treat you kind in terms of health and happiness. I will be here when you need me as always.

Secondly I thank you my friends, especially Lenard for the (almost) unconditional Care they you exhibit to, not only me, but most of your friends around you. I mean we still annoyed each other from time to time, but hey, without us, who else can improve our negotiation skills? hehe~ It is you my friends, who build what it is in me today, without your influence and encouragement, I would not be where I am today.

Thank you Ranjith, for your continuous moral support when I was living 'alone' as the only asian together with a bunch of 'foreigners', you are the only closest 'race' that I can related to when I was down and feeling lonely. Your silence support is easy for me to comprehence. The winter Christmas in England can not be bearable without your warm welcome to your family member. i wish we can travel around the world with our camera together sometime in the future!

To all my friends who I spend part of my living years with,  Amy Davies, Katie Wragg, James Toplis, Sharon Lau and others at England. Have a Merry Merry Christmas, I really love you guys for the memory you contribute to this weird Malaysian boy. Although I would love to meet up with you Sharon, but I still can not find you anywhere near Kuching.

Thank you for all my teachers who ever beaten me on my palms, for that I know you care about my future undertaking and take it so personally.

Thank you Jerome, for bringing into my life for the first time the belief that my life is in my hand and it is myself that can decide changes to be done. For the time and energy spend on a boy that did not show much chance to be more successful than he was.

Thank you for all the people who I used to work with and couldn get a long too well with, it is you that make me a better person and I understand now that it is not you who I dislike but simply it is the setting of the work place that put us in a conflicting situation.

Thank you for those who contribute to my memory as a happy teenagers during my secondary school life, the mountains which we climbed and the sea we used to swim in are unforgetable moments that bring smiles on my face. I can still feel the morning breeze and the sea salt when I turn the pages of our youth. Thank you Anthony for always being the driver at night for our 'Happy Hour'. Thank you 

For those who already left us, I misses you during this season.

For those friends who are still around us, I cheerish your surrounding and I will try my best to spend more time with you guys at each and every seasons.

Have a very Merry Christmas~

Lots of LOVE
