What Is A New Year To You?

I saw a friend's personal message on msn saying 'new year means nothing to me'.And I'm sure the same goes to a few of my house mates which is why I almost missed New Year's once in a year atmosphere,fireworks,feeling,etc.

They rather spend time doing things like: Let's play and win our last DOTA game of the year ! and moments later, they are trying to win their 1st DOTA game of the year.Until they forgot to go new year's countdown. =.=" They say its fun but what a waste.

The annual January 1st New Year is arguably the most anticipated event in Malaysia. Christmas are mainly for Christians and for some apparently non-Christians to get themselves merry arrested at Gurney Drive.Chinese New Year are mainly for Chinese and for some kids to have their limps blown off. Whereas New Year is an event for everybody and for more people to get arrested.
To some however it is different.
To some people it is just another public holiday,
some just wants the atmosphere and see the fireworks,(People like me)
some think it is a must to party on every 1st of January,
some see it as a time to make money,
some wants a gang bang,
and of course, some people just don't give a damn.

To me, new year means a fresh start to another year of life. It is the time I make new year's resolutions and to learn and not make past mistakes in order to improve myself to be better than last year.

Screaming 'HAPPY NEW YEAR !!!' and watching the fire works means starting a new year with happiness and a smile. My new year's eve was almost ruined. Luckily I found an alternative and ended up celebrating on a beach.

I hope you too had a good time and a great start to year 2009.
