Hohoho! Merry Christmas!

First of all, I would like to wish everyone, Merry Christmas! I hope everyone did have a good time celebrating it..

So what Christmas means to you? Do you actually celebrate it? What this Santa Claus, Frosty the Snowman, Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer have to do with Christmas?.. If anyone of you guys know about it, do let me know.

For me, Christmas is a very peaceful festivity, where people celebrate it in a less hectic way, unlike some other festivities, when people start rushing back to their respective hometown and jam up the road everywhere. And I like the idea of Santa Claus!

I really feel inspired by this Santa Claus, though some had said that Santa Claus has become a marketing tool for people to spend more during this festive season. Yet it is still very inspiring to me: Someone so selfless that during this festive season, he go round to each house, to give out present, to bring cheers and smiles to the people. Recently there was even a Santa Claus giving out money to the people in New York, during this financial crisis in the US.

This story really inspired me, though I did not have the best of Christmas this year, as I have been bothered by the road project. Yet, I can still look forward to the coming Christmas, to really feel the joy of this unique festivity.

The Incomplete Collection

Time really flies when the end of the year is around the corner. And coupled with procrastination, I failed to collect the complete set of James Bond cars by Shell, yet again.

And this time, I miss the BMW Z3, the one who appeared on the Bond movie of 1995, Golden Eye acted by Pierce Brosnan. Z3 is now considered to be 2 generations old, as BMW has just unveiled the latest 2010 BMW Z4. More information can be obtained from the link here. The car is really breathtaking!

But for my collection, *sigh... Incomplete!
