As I saw mostly in the movies and some in our subdivision that every

December 31st people are gathering with their families, friends, and you can still
count the relatives. Of course it is New Year’s Eve, people are waiting for the
countdown. After the countdown ends, everyone is shouting, “Happy New Year!”
With all the hugs and kisses that fill the neighborhood with love. And after that, they
sing the Auld Lang Syne. To be honest, the first time I heard it I thought it was just
an old nursery rhyme or something that will be sang during the 12:00 am of January
first. Singing with smiles in their faces and love in their eyes. It made me a little bit
jealous while I’m looking at them in front of our gate. It’s not that we didn’t celebrate
our New Year, it’s just from the looks that I saw in their faces, they are so much
happy than us. Well how can you be happy if your parents are not in a good places?
Sad to say, I am used to it.
Enough about my miserable New Years, let’s talk about the, “I thought it was
an old nursery rhyme”, the Auld Lang Syne. But first things first, I am grateful that
during our English 8 subject, we have the time to talk about Auld Lang Syne.
Because if not, it will be always an old nursery rhyme for me. Hilarious isn’t it? Going
back on what I have learned about Auld Lang Syne, it is a poem that written by
Robert Burns in 1788.
