Remember the times when we used to run up and down as kids, play with cousins and friends, play with lots of fireworks, receive many ang pows, visit friends and families, and it was a festive mood, during the Chinese New Year?
How many years has that passed since? Minus the kiddo playing and all, where has the festive mood this year all gone to? Some may not be wary of this, but most people felt 'bored' or not in the festive mood as oppose to previous New Years. This, all so true. Be it nationwide or in local kampungs, we all can feel it.
Call me an ignorant fool but I do not believe fireworks should be banned from the market. Only irresponsible people use and/or play with fireworks irresponsibly. Kids should really be supervised when playing fireworks. OK, but by banning fireworks altogether isn't really a win-win situation most people would prefer either. Fireworks adds excitements to young kids, plus knocks out some boring times out of adults too. Believe me, Chinese New Year isn't exactly the same without fireworks display, self-launched style!
The recent economy isn't all that good as well. Not all are in the festive mood. Ah, CNY spirits, you are forgiven for not hanging much this season. Coming next season, I'm certain all of us hope for more prosperous and exciting New Year! Gong Xi Fa Chai! Have a healthy, happy and prosperous year everyone!
