Thank you for taking time to receive your Christmas present.
This year it's a little different partly because a) I am broke beyond belief and b) because this story needs to be told. Every year I swear that I must prepare this story in time for Christmas, and every year I failed.
So now, I'm presenting Part I of the Christmas Carol (if not, it'll never come out ever). I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I did writing it.
The stories do not refer to anyone in particular and neither of you are feature here. However, having said that, this story is a tribute to my new-found friends Rahman, Justin, Hysen. And of course Chris.
I want to send my love to 222 for being the family you are, for silently being there any time I need your love. To Xinyi who always take the effort to meet me, to Nat for the sweetest words and to Ritesh for your trust and confidence.
For Cathleen and Shangyi for the ornamentation of laughter every time…laughter, is indeed golden.
For Daniel, this Christmas was made extra special for your words of assurance. Thanks buddy!
To Guanyu for your kindness for the steinway arrangement and gifts. See you around school!
To the nurses at Renci for being ever so kind…
And…of course, to all my wonderful friends who have made this year such a meaningful one. If I had my way, I wish I could list down everything all of you have said or done that touched me. Thank you.
From a feeling-very-loved,
Claud
(P.S Please pardon any grammatical mistakes!)

I wonder what you have been doing over the weekend, and whether you worry about me. I wonder if you still think about me, and whether you will still consider my happiness something important in your life.
I still wonder, why 2 people who still love each other cannot be together, and I remember that you don't "care enough".
Perhaps I should stop deluding myself and take it as - you don't love me anymore. I should move on - forever closing this door, right?
Merry Christmas!
