Christmas

What a Christmas.

So many things have happened in the year gone by. Some good and some bad.

Family-wise, its not been the best year for me. Way too many quarrels with my parents, dad's worried over finance and thus not a very happy man and its caused a lot of friction in the family, especially between me and him.

Well, today, little bro' decided to play Santa and gave all of us gifts at 3.30AM. We all happily came down to receive them, except dad, who didn't want to be woken.

Bro was hurt by this, saying (not unjustly) that dad had always not appreciated the effort we put in getting gifts for him. Well, Dad finally came out and got the present but not before much sadness was caused.

Guess that's reflective of how the year has been. But lil' bro did the right thing. By buying presents for everyone, he reminded us that sometimes, even when times are bad, we have to show our love for one another.

I just wish my parents understood us better though.

Chris says:"Hopefully 2006 will be a better year for me, no more carcrashes, no more sadness, no more pain, no more anger. It can't possibly get any worse can it? Not when things are this bad. Cause i wanna stop crying these tears."
