People from various walks of life gather, typical around somewhere a clock is visible to many so as to allow revellers to count numbers backwards. At the very moment when the final second of the year is over and the new year begins, displays of many types are brought to life. And in any traditional manner, fireworks is the essential part in welcoming the new year and in this case, the year 2008. Cities around the world celebrate this in their own way. The followings are examples of the joyous mood of this brand new year (and day).From Sydney, where the year 2008 came earlier than the rest of the world.
To New York, among the few cities best known for their countdown parties.
From Tokyo, where new year celebrations are done uniquely theirs.
To Hong Kong, among the world’s cities with the best pyrotechnic displays.
From Singapore, where this tiny nation have their new year party a blast.
To Kuala Lumpur, among the many New Year celebrating cities in Malaysia.
However somewhere around the east coast of the Malaysia Peninsula, one city is being left out from the celebration. The stroke of midnight of 1st of January 2008 is just like any other midnights of any other ordinary nights. For Kelantanese, 1 January 2008 is just the beginning of another day despite the fact that it is the brand new year. Unfortunately I am in that city. The city named as Kota Bharu.
There were those who are celebrating though it was not close of being any celebration.
At least I know that I am not alone.
