Terence Wang on... A White Christmas (Christmas Special)

EDIT: By 25 December 2010, Jiawin Ng would have left for Singapore to continue his studies under the ASEAN scholarship. This author wishes him good luck and farewell.

It is 25 December 2010. Terence Wang looks out of his double storey terrace house, in the suburbs of Hollywood. He opens the window and stretches out his hand. A snowflake lands in his palm, so gently that he wonders whether it is all a dream.

Editor(M.E.): And yes, of course it's a dream. For starters, it's raining, not snowing.

Sigh.

It's that time of the year again. When I wish raindrops were snow. When I wish my home was located either on the North or South of this blue-and-green(and white) planet. When I wish there was much more of the festive mood that is associated with this time of the year.

But then again, it's Christmas.

And how can one not be happy on Christmas??!!

Fireworks. Signify mood changes, among other things.

Yup, it might not be snowing in this sh*t hole lovely country but I'm staying jolly. And merry. And...

(Starts crying) Oh why, oh why, oh why can't it snow here?? (continues crying...)

Anyway.

First off, the Suburban KID Blog Committee would like to wish all readers, never mind whether you all are Christian, Buddhist, Taoist, Muslim, Jewish, even atheist, a very Merry Christmas(Happy Holidays to atheists). And how can you forget the very optimistic New Year? Seriously, he's always in a good mood, even in this recession! Isn't he afraid of getting laid off like 2010??

As I was saying, since it's a season of being grateful, forgiving and generally good, we should probably keep being upset on the none-whiteness of this country just be thankful and make do with what we have.

In fact, our family has already got the Christmas mood going. Look!

The Christmas tree, obviously. I haven't managed to capture the lights well, unfortunately.

"Cute" little stockings

And a very Merry Christmas to you too, Mr-not-so-big-Santa.

Smile.

Ok, so that's about it(apart from a Christmas party and some songs) but the mood's more important, right?

There. I'm contradicting myself again.

One last thing: Since my announcement of this blog reaching a thousand views, views have gone up by...well, frankly I'm not sure, but let's just say, a lot. To let you 'get' the scale of it, this blog reached 1000 views 14 days ago. Now, it's 1552.

So thank you, and have a great Christmas. (looks around) Where's the Christmas spirit on this blog? Editor, change template! Find some Christmas songs! Hurry!

P.S. You might have noticed the new blog template and songs. Well, ok I went traditional this year on the songs, but at least I didn't go for the old "Jingle Bells".
