Happy New Year!

Again we revisited a similar celebration of counting down to the new year but with totally different stories to tell for the past year and many new resolutions for the upcoming year.

Why do people celebration new year?

So that they can sum up what has happened for the past year? So they can have something to look forward to for the next 12 months? Is there anything really worth celebrating? Or is it just a mark of the transition from one year to another?

I think people want to have this feeling of 'progress'. We need something to show us that we have done and experience something and now we can move on to another. We need some 'ends' at some period of our lives and more importantly, we need 'beginnings' too. Human nature is just so weird.

New Year Day is, in my opinion, a socially constructed occasion. I am not too sure if people from many centuries ago did celebrate this day but I think people yearn for some sort of celebration, progress, evidence that we have lived the year, that we have moved on.

Anyway, let's hope that 2008 would be a great year for all FuKePaiKes and our loyal blog readers. Let's hope for world peace (what a cliche phrase!), good health and good luck for all!
