Happy New Year!

Time: An hour before new year
Venue: I-City, Shah Alam


The changing of a year is definitely something to celebrate. So that's why my family and I went to I-City where there will be beautiful fireworks. And as we knew that there would be an extreme traffic, we got there quite early. Although I believe there are some others that were a lot earlier than we were. And as expected, the place was packed with tons of people of various ages. I saw young couples, friends of the same gender and different ones. I saw parents with their little kids, grandparents with their family and a whole lot more. People eating, smoking cigarettes, laughing and crying. Well I think the crying part only applies for the babies. It was phenomenal. I had never seen so many people in one place at one time. It was like as if all those people gathering there to show how important is the celebration. Proving how welcoming a whole new year could be so vital. And frankly speaking, I was quite happy I was there to witness it all…


And so as the clock struck midnight, the firework begins. It started off with small sparks and later massive and beautiful ones. It was a 10 minutes of dazzle. I just stood there staring at the sky like I was hypnotized by it. There are actually no words to describe how beautiful the fireworks were. The striking colors were very symbolic to me. It was like the colors represent the happiness of the year we were welcoming, saying that everything would be okay. It was assuring us that this year, 2011 would be a year of success, good health and full of blessings. With a whole new year ahead of us anything is possible… HAPPY NEW YEAR!.
