NEW YEAR

2006/12/31

A friend asks me. What is New Year anyway. It’s just a regular day, the difference is this time we need to change the calendar. There should be nothing different between the day and the next-day. I nod. But then, i think, what is the meaning actually?

And by next minute, I disagree with my initial agreement. New Year is a special day. It is a day of celebration. From what? Celebration from the rising of new HOPE. Yes, H.O.P.E.

People need hope, after go through long 364 days of doing something that can take them to prosperity, not everyone succeed in doing so. Most of us need new chapter. New beginning. New episode. Dec 31st is a date where you can set to learn the previous 364 days. While Jan 1st is a date you can start all over.

New year, new day, new hope. I have many hope for 2007. And I bet you, Jan 1st is my new beginning. Have a happy new year, friends! Cheers!
