Halloween Blues
Two days ago (31st October), was Halloween. Once again, it has passed without much celebration in our country. Maybe some did celebrate, but it was not a great part of our country's culture. I have never tried treat-tricking and most probably am too old for it anyway. Here, in this part of the world, you do not see people dressing up as out-of-this-world figurines nor children going from door to door asking for candy. Last time this happened, it was on the News. Yeah, believe it or not. Halloween might not be something we celebrate but we still acknowledge this festival. It would be great however, to properly celebrate this one year. It will be a new experience to many around here in Asia and for people who do not have the opportunity to go overseas, they can still learn to appreciate such unique festivals that go on in other countries and also get to feel the atmosphere. It would be like going overseas at home. I personally, would like to have a chance to participate in such an event. I have heard so much about it and would really hope to joy in the fun. Perhaps someday, this day would come.
