Your Song by Elton John

It's a little bit funny this feeling inside
I'm not one of those who can easily hide
I don't have much money but boy if I did
I'd buy a big house where we both could live

If I was a sculptor, but then again, no
Or a man who makes potions in a travelling show
I know it's not much but it's the best I can do
My gift is my song and this one's for you

And you can tell everybody this is your song
It may be quite simple but now that it's done
I hope you don't mind
I hope you don't mind that I put down in words
How wonderful life is while you're in the world

I sat on the roof and kicked off the moss
Well a few of the verses well they've got me quite cross
But the sun's been quite kind while I wrote this song
It's for people like you that keep it turned on

So excuse me forgetting but these things I do
You see I've forgotten if they're green or they're blue
Anyway the thing is what I really mean
Yours are the sweetest eyes I've ever seen

***

Vaguely remember listening to this song. But it somehow touched me just few days ago. It may sound little old, but I think I like it a lot.

I'm Dreaming Of A Weird Christmas 'Eve'

Another year has passed and I managed to survive it well.
Gladly, friends came, and they stayed throughout the year.
Laughter, joy, tears and happiness were some of the things they brought to 'my year 2008'.

So what's so weird about 'MY' Christmas eve this year?
Instead of spending it with carolers at church member's house. Instead of spending it at mamak stall reminiscing about the year that had passed. Instead of counting down. Instead of helping myself to turkeys. Instead of getting my fingers burnt with candles we're holding while singing in the dark.

I had dinner at BBQ Plaza in Times Square. With Amy, after last-minute Christmas shopping with mom. And yea, sipping coffee at our residential Coffee Bean & Tea Leaf outlet in Ampang Point. How's that for a change?!

Well, at least it was cosy. At least there wasn't a mosh pit. Sweaty bodies rubbing against 1,000 other random 'I dunno whos'. At least there wasn't deafening music playing next to me.

I wanted to stay til 12 midnight, but she said 'Weh..I'm old ady lar..'
Hahahaha. Old konon. Siao-lar..

Nevertheless, I managed to present presents to my family personally, instead of migrating somewhere else on the eve of Christmas! This would my first :)

So before I sign off, I want to wish all you who are reading this a Merry Happy Christmas! It doesn't matter where you are, or who you're with, God knows what's at heart, and He'll always love you :)

Love Lots,

wJ
