New year celebration

I love going to the movies on the first day of the Lunar new year. With every established is closed, watching movies seemed to be the best option. Tickets were easy to obtain because everyone was busy visiting their relatives. That was then.

As I stepped into the mrt (metro), I realized the congestion of person. Even in the streets, the crowd is no different from a normal Monday. Recently there is a tendency of having many shops and restaurants opened during this festive period. We all benefit from this convenience. Thanks to some hardworking F&B operators, who harvest the opportunity by doing business today.

If one has money, he can live like new years’ day on a daily basis. Although the person who said this might be low on the meaning of the Chinese new year, in some way he is not totally wrong. How celebration is done? It is no other than eat, drink, new clothes, a non working day and gathering with relatives and friends. How could one fully enjoy all these if there is worries about financial issues? So, let’s work today. We can celebrate the new year some other time.
