Happy New Year or not? | | 新年快乐还是不快乐？|😎 So 2022 came and went and seems quite fast. I was watching the countdown show on TV yesterday. They started fireworks early at 11pm off and on. The big one happened at midnight. I didn't check on New Zealand's like I used too. The morning of New Year Day started off a bit gloomy though the sun was shining later. I shall wish you Happy New Year but if you are in Singapore having to pay 1% more for GST and more for public transport…
