All I want for Christmas

h1 Saturday, December 25th, 2004

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There’s just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true…
All I want for Christmas
Is you…

I don’t want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don’t care about the presents
Underneath the Christmas tree
I don’t need to hang my stocking
There upon the fireplace
Santa Claus won’t make me happy
With a toy on Christmas day
I just want you for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
All I want for Christmas is you…
You baby

I won’t ask for much this Christmas
I won’t even wish for snow
I’m just gonna keep on waiting
Underneath the mistletoe
I won’t make a list and send it
To the North Pole for Saint Nick
I won’t even stay awake to
Hear those magic reindeer click
‘Cause I just want you here tonight
Holding on to me so tight
What more can I do
Baby all I want for Christmas is you
You…

All the lights are shining
So brightly everywhere
And the sound of children’s
Laughter fills the air
And everyone is singing
I hear those sleigh bells ringing
Santa won’t you bring me the one I really need -
won’t you please bring my baby to me…

Oh I don’t want a lot for Christmas
This is all I’m asking for
I just want to see my baby
Standing right outside my door
Oh I just want him for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true
Baby all I want for Christmas is
You…

All I want for Christmas is you baby…
All I want for Christmas is you baby…

Congratulations!

To those who had exceptional grades.. you have earned it. You’ve worked hard consistently and yes.. hard work pays off! :)

To those who passed with average grades.. you continued to try your best despite your previous prelim results.. you did not give up.. and look.. you have now done well and made it through to Sec 5. Hard work pays off! :)

However.. to those who did not make it to Sec 5.. its ok.. sometimes the road to success requires a slight detour.. just don’t lose sight of your dreams and aspirations.. continue to try your best. Only then can you live your life with no regrets.. to know that you’ve given what you can to everything in life.

Again.. congratulations.. its time to get prepared for the new year ahead.. lots of things to do.. don’t forget to do your homework!! Yeaps.. next year, you’ll have LOADS more to do! It’s not going to get easier.. but you know that it requires hard work and perseverance.. and you’ve shown that you are capable of that.. so I expect nothing less from you guys next year.

Our very own Idol

The winner is…. TAUFIK BATISAH!!!

Yes!! The “crowning” of the first ever Singapore Idol has happened. It was a good fight I would say between Sly and Taufik. Both did well. There’s no guessing who the whole family was rooting for actually.. yeaps.. Taufik. Eventhough I must say.. I like Sly still. I don’t know why… but I like him. However, I wouldn’t want him to win :P

A record number of votes were cast by my dearest mommy.. 48!!! Can you believe that? What’s more amazing is that she was supposed to be working.. but she was multi-tasking for sure. Work and vote. Work and vote. Ok ok.. I know there are other obsessed fans out there.. but to us.. thats already QUITE OBSESSED. I am not sure how many votes my sister sent.. but her fingers were clicking away throughout the entire show. I contributed my fair share towards Taufik’s victory too.. just a mere 20 votes.. nothing compared to that of mommy of course.. and even insignificant when compared to the votes by the obsessed fans that he has! However, I think that was still QUITE a bit. Sure.. I want him to win.. but casting hundreds of votes by myself.. naaah.. no thank you. I am under tight budget!!

Strangely.. this idol fever that has swept the country has united lots of people together. Perhaps its the fact that the audience have a say in deciding the winner. It gave people.. even strangers.. a topic to talk about… or blog about. I guess we have not had this camaraderie since the Malaysia Cup fever.

However, now that the idol fever is over.. people will talk about the results. People will await for the release of their albums. However, when that is all over.. I wonder.. What will we talk about? Even in our blogs.
