Cheerful Anticipation

Just back from late night shopping at Clementi Mall. The supermarket there is now thoroughly geared up for the approaching Chinese New Year celebrations, and I must say I enjoy the goofy cheerfulness of it all. This sits in contrast to my generally negative feelings regarding the preparations undertaken in the Xmas season. Not sure where this bias stems from. I suspect I've over-dosed on Christmas cheer over a lifetime, hence the complete lack of logic I now embody. 

It helps not to be involved in the build-up to CNY in any meaningful way. No skin in the game, as it were. Just a happy adjacency - and a welcome holiday just at the right time.
