Just back from Jansen's place, had a Christmas celebration over at his place. Just a small group of his old friends, Shu-Ying and me. Joined his family at Midnight Mass, my first time attending something like that. It was a nice experience, being able to see how Catholics celebrate the arrival of Christmas. Although I couldn't understand a large chunk of the procedure, I gladly joined in all the spiritual atmosphere. Especially enjoyed it when they shared Christmas wishes with and wished peace to each other around the church. Certainly a very heartwarming moment as I could really feel the sincerity from the people. So much that I prayed in my own way that they will all remain safe and healthy. The love and bond Jansen's family shared made me envious. Not that my family doesn't share such a bond, but we express it more in our own subtle way, traditional Asian style. For that I wish Mummy and Daddy to stay strong together and with me, showering Jie-Jie and me with the love they have been giving to us for the past 20-odd years. I love you all. And that includes my dear irritating Jie-Jie.
Merry Christmas and I truly mean what I say. Hope you stay happy, whether it was or not I who made you happy for the festive season. Makes me happy to feel your cheerfulness. You need not openly show it but from a simple sms it shows enough. Enough for me at least. If I have the chance, I will be the Happiness you asked for on Christmas. Joy to all.
