a glimpse of hope

As I sat semi-dazed on my couch after reaching home from the new year's eve celebration at 3:49am, this question came to my mind, "What's the reason behind all this partying and celebration? For fun, hope, or reflection?"

Then I realised the answer is all three. I had an eventful year, with more ups than downs.But what if the downs are far more severe than the ups?

Fun: I deserved a well-earned break for enduring all those negative incidents and problems for the whole of 2008.

Reflection & Hope: May the past of bad begone, lessons derived learnt, & the good stays with me and my loved ones through it all

X'mas + New Year's Eve

How does one measure a year?

post-new year countdown


New year's eve countdown celebration as an excuse to have fun and let loose with friends? Or to count down a new year that, hopefully (with fingers crossed), will be much better than the previous? Or to reflect on the past year's ups and downs?
