He referred to the prevalence of people making resolutions at this time of the year, and pointed out the distinction between a resolution and a wish:
A wish is when you want to achieve something but a resolution is when you take steps to achieve that particular thing. Eg. "I want to pass my examinations." is a wish whereas "I will spend an extra hour everyday on my studies." is a resolution.
His homilies are very down-to-earth and relate to daily life, so that the congregation can really understand them.
At Midnight Mass, he presented us with a gift, a precious one. He sang Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas for us. He is a priest and yet he shared his gift of song with us. That gesture touched my heart. I cannot explain why but it just strikes a chord within me. His voice was rather good too though he was modest about it. :) The other priest who sang to his congregation, of whom I was one of the members, is Father Stephen Yim who sang a song on Father's Day.
