What I dislike about Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day

    Both Chinese New Year and Valentine's Day are joyful and an occasion to remember for it bring us much happiness. As for the Chinese New Year, it is the time for families to come together, to enjoy each other's companies, and for the children, to collect the much treasured ang paos. Meanwhile, for Valentine's Day, it is the time for lovers to express their gratitude and love to each other. Friends may also seize the opportunity to thank each other for their support. 

     Where there are likes, there are dislikes. What I dislike about Chinese New Year is, when everyone starts bickering or someone is in a bad mood. I'm pretty sure everyone experiences this. When people gets edgy or frustrated while doing something, which is often during festive season, it causes a tense atmosphere where someone might snap and start raising their voices. I really hate it when this happens because it is a festive season and nobody should be unhappy and it ruins the festive mood. As for Valentine's Day, I hate  it where people is too materialistic to realise the true meaning of this special day. Sure a bouquet of roses or a dinner at a fancy restaurant is fine but what is the meaning of it if you do not comprehend the real meaning for Valentine's Day?
