December 31, 2006 : Here Comes the Last Day of the Year!

Finally the last day of the year is here!
Today I went to bed early in the morning and got up a few minutes after eleven in the evening.
It's amazing how long I slept!
At about 50 minutes past eleven, I started to eat a bowl of buckwheat noodles while watching the New Year unfold,
the noodles that are traditionally eaten on the eve of the New Year in Japan.
Then my sister said, "It has to be done before you see the arrival of the New Year!
"Ah, I see," was my reply, so I ate my noodles before another year began!
While I was having dinner, I heard the temple bells ringing on the television to announce the arrival of the New Year.
