The Eve...

Always preferred the eves of holidays to the holiday itself. Liked friday night better than the weekend; savoured new year's eve more than new year day and the same goes for CNY eve with its loud and noisy countdown. Enjoy soaking in the bustle, anticipation and enthusiasm on the eves, my annual affair of desperate last minute shopping for clothes, the cozy getting together and catching up with old friends and family and the basking in contemplation, brimming expectations and promises into the quiet hours of the night counting down to the festive seasons.

May the year ahead stay likewise...somethings, you pray...would never change.
