My New Years Eves/Days have always been times when I become even more quiet and contemplative than usual. It's mostly because my parents make me to go to the midnight NYE service at church.
This year at church, we didn't even do a countdown. The reverend talked through the 12am point and then afterwards said, "a few minutes ago, we have entered 2014". It was very anticlimactic. No fireworks or cheering.
But thinking about it, I actually like it this way.
Not a huge fan of fireworks and loud parties.
And I like the idea of starting off the new year with a clear head.
In the morning we caught the earlybird ferry to Rangitoto island and walked up to the summit. It was good. I had a trip to Rangitoto Island just last week with some friends as well. But that time we trekked to Mototapu not to the summit.
