My philosophy in Life
My philosophy in Life:

Time never stop. Life goes on no matter what you do. Memories are the most precious thing in life, it can be permanent. You cannot leave everything to fate. You must believe in yourself, fight for yourself!!

Have faith in yourself and give everything a try. Treasure every air you breath in and make it worth.

Have a target!!! If you can dream about it, you can work on it.
If you think about it, you can reach it.

This is every kids question.....Is there Santa Claus on earth?

Below are some researth i did on net:

A brief history of santa: (extracted from http://millennium.fortunecity.com)

Santa has not always appeared the way we think of him today. The first well-known gift-giver was a true person--St. Nicholas. He lived in Myra (today we know it as Turkey) in about 300A.D. Born an only child of a wealthy family, he was orphaned at an early age when both parents died of the plague. He grew up in a monastery and at the age of 17 became one of the youngest priests ever. Many stories are told of his generosity as he gave his wealth away in the form of gifts to those in need, especially children. Legends tell of him either dropping bags of gold down chimneys or throwing the bags through the windows where they landed in the stockings hung from the fireplace to dry. Some years later Nicholas became a bishop--hence the bishop's hat or miter, long flowing gown, white beard and red cape. After his death he was elevated to sainthood. Eventually the Catholic Church started celebrating Chrismas and St. Nicholas was incorporated into the season.
When the Reformation took place, the new Protestants no longer desired St. Nicholas as their gift-giver as he was too closely tied to the Catholic Church. Therefore, each country or region developed their own gift-giver. In France he was known as Pere Noel. In England he was Father Christmas (always depicted with sprigs of holly, ivy or mistletoe). Germany knew him as Weihnachtsmann (Christmas man). When the communists took over in Russia and outlawed Christianity, the Russians began to call him Grandfather Frost, who wore blue instead of the traditonal red. To the Dutch, he was Sinterklaas (which eventually was misprounced in America and became Santa Claus). These Santas were arrayed in every color of the rainbow--sometimes even in black. But they all had long white beards and carried gifts for the children.

The Santa we know today had his beginnings in 1823 with Clement C. Moore's "A Visit from St. Nicholas" in which he described St. Nicholas as "chubby and plump, a right jolly old elf". Forty years later, Thomas Nast, political cartoonist, created a different illustration each year of Santa for the cover of Harper's Weekly. His Santa was a plump, jolly old fellow with a white beard and smoking a long stemmed pipe. During the Civil War, President Abraham Lincoln asked Nast to do an illustration showing Santa with the Union troops. Many historians say this was one of the most demoralizing moments for the Confederate army....seeing Santa side with the North.

Finally, from 1931 to 1966, Haddon Sundblom created a new Santa each Christmas for Coca-Cola advertisements that appeared world-wide on the back covers of Post and National Geographics magazines. This is the Santa we know and love today with a red suit trimmed with white fur, leather boots and belt, long white beard and a pack of toys slung onto his back.


To me: i think Santa is just some kind souls who like to give and share so as to pass on happiness and hope.......is he one that we read it on books like riding on his deer and drop into people's house thru the chamber? I doubt so , one reason is there is no fire chamber in houses of Singapore, 2nd is that I did not see a real Santa, really, if u saw someone break into yr house, u will normally address him as theif.....lol

That my view of Santa, wats abt yours.....
