"9, 8 ,7"
With the countdown, crowds of people get higher and higher on emotion.
"3, 2, 1"
"Happy new year."
"Happy new year! We come to the new century."
"Nope, we're still in twentieth century"
"What?" Your action is just like being pulled back by the rope.
"Last year was not the last year of the twentieth century, but this year is."
"Wait... Speak slower." You raise hands to stop me.
"In other words, this year, 2000, is not the first year of the 21st century; Actually, next year, means 2001, is the beginning of the 21st century."
"Hmm...I got it. So, why we celebrate about the beginning of the ending specially."
"The beginning of the ending. Oops, I think that is charm of Millennium, it's a only chance to carry from 999."
"Ridiculous."
