Went Christmas Carolling yesterday. There's nothing like Christmas Carols to allow you to indulge in the Christmas Spirit!

Something Lifeng told Daniel in their conversation yesterday struck me. How you realise that people around you get more cynical as they get older, and how people actually stop caring for a cause. Take for example doing volunteer work, how many of us can actually do it whole heartedly for the simple reason of wanting to do it and touching lives you come into contact with? How many of us can actually look past the personal gains? But what Lifeng said made me think "Why do you (or should you) stop caring?" I guess it's naive thinking wishing that everyone could just contribute because they care.

I realise that it takes alot of effort to maintain a friendship, not so much to build one, but more of continuing one. Like losing contact with your Primary School friends whom you were once so close with, or how you lost contact with people whom you still treasure alot. I think its sorry to get so close to people only to end the friendships that have been built. Personally, a word of "How's life" means alot even if you are at a loss of words at what to say to someone whom you havent contacted or seen a long time, like at least the person came to mind and he/she has not been forgotten. and I realise that contact lists that are being made nowadays do not contain our home addresses, at least for the ones which I've been a part of. I think it's a pity and I have this sudden urge to start on this seemingly impossible mission of compiling everyone's addresses. And then when I say that it's sad to lose these friendships or to treat them like they never happened, I'll probably get the response "That's Life" I agree, but then I Thank God for placing these people in our lives and for having allowed us to cross paths.

So well, to all my friends, new and old, past and present or future, I just thought I'd let you know that you are cherished and you mean alot.
May this Christmas be a blessed one for each and everyone of you.
