Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire.
Chestnuts roasting on an open fire
Jack Frost nipping at your nose
Yule-tide carols being sung by a choir
And folks dressed up like Eskimos.
Everybody knows a turkey
and some mistletoe
Help to make the season bright
Tiny tots with their eyes all aglow
Will find it hard to sleep tonight.
They know that Santa's on his way
He's loaded lots of toys
and goodies on his sleigh
And every mother's child is gonna spy
To see if reindeer
really know how to fly.
And so I'm offering this simple phrase
To kids from one to ninety-two
Although it's been said
many times, many ways
Merry Christmas to you.

Everyday should be Christmas.
out of the three goals he set himself for 2007, i guess he managed to complete most of them. but he left even before the end of 2007.
"get to know that girl a lil' better"
oh dear. suddenly i feel myself getting into the same sad-ish state i was before.
not to worry. now, you can watch over her. and most of all, you'll be with God and have a feast with him everyday!
when we meet again, i'd like you to train me to be a triathlete. i want to sing, run, cycle and swim in heaven. and i'd like you to be my coach. and i'd like to show God how i developed up the gifts he gave me.
we'll miss you. please come for mass with us today? or at least celebrate mass with us today?

Everyday should be Christmas.
A precious lesson learnt at the cost of losing someone. as young as anyone of us. as unexpected as it was, i'm starting to get a grip of myself once again. i know he's above us as one of God's little helpers. looking after us.
i learnt to cherish everyone around me, knowing that they may be called home anytime. could be real soon, could be in the later years on man's lifespan. so that when the actual day comes for someone to be called back home, i will not feel this regret in me again, not getting to know you better.
every now and then, i think about what happened 4 years ago. i was SO close to losing a family member. my mummy. but somehow, God sent her back here to polish up her unfinished work here. then i keep thinking, what would have happened if she really left us? what or who will i be today? will i feel the same regret in me as i did when thaddeus left us?
but today, after picking myself up after 3 days, i've learnt this valuable lesson that i might not be able to learn just any day. i just want to thank him and appologise to him at the same time.. meanwhile, you will remain in my prayers.
-and until we meet again, may God hold you in the palm of his hand.

Everyday should be Christmas.
i thought i could get over it quickly and concentrate on my papers. at least to push my emotions away for now, and concentrate on what i have to do right now. but i'm sorry i can't. everytime i close my eyes, i picture you in my mind. you will be greatly missed.
i couldn't hold back my emotions till i saw him on the front page of the papers. there he was at the starting line with his sweet smile. just a sweet lil' 17 year old fulfilling one of his biggest dreams in life. and yet, gone just like that in the snap of God's fingers. his time here with us was short. too short for anyone to imagine.
right now, i believe he is in God's arms together with the angels in heaven. somehow i have this feeling he's going to be someone's guardian angel.
sfxyc will be singing at his wake tmr. for those who haven't made plans to say your goodbyes, its at 100 jalan girang. near nyjc.
you'll be greatly missed by everyone. your family, the church, and friends.
in loving memory of Thaddeus Cheong.
