New Year Eve Celebrations

The New Year started with church. I went to the City Cathedral for the Pontifical High Mass. The Mass celebration was conducted by the Apostolic Nuncio to Arabia, Archbihop Peter Rajic. This is the 2nd time this week and 4t overall. Ths father seems to like Eucharist Celebrations, since he is consistently coming and celebrating the Eucharistic celebrations in Kuwait cathedral church. I like his sermons, which due to his concise and clarity in voice and also due to its compelling nature. He often urges through his sermons, which instill in us a moral for the day.


My office colleagues along with some of their common friends arranged some party at Salmiya. I arrived straight after church to the party hall. Played some games and then danced on floor ( a bit)). Had dinner by 11:30 and by 12:00 am had New year countdown with wish passing across. A cake was cut and passed on to others. My throat started aching. By around 12:30, it was time for us to split, and we bade goodbye to the old year.

Apart from the celebrations, I just reflected on the past and the future. I was just thinking what is in store for me this year. I am pretty sure, that there would be at least one event that can change the course of my life, which would draw an era in life. I prayed to God to help me in whatever happens in the future.
