Is It a Monday? Part 2

25 Apr

You could say the chill and fun period of the holiday break is over for now, until next week, the holiday break repeats! Unbelievable. Malaysia is a country full of public holidays. So what’s going on next week?

Well, Labor Day is Monday, followed by Wesak Day on Thursday. That’s two days of public holiday again. But the holidays are between two working days during the week, thus a tad disruptive to the week. Am I complaining? Of course not! Hehehe. I should enjoy such breaks whenever they occur.

Long Weekends

16 May

We seem to be having long weekends of late. Two weeks ago, there was that long stretch of a five-day weekend with the Hari Raya break. This week, it’s another long stretch, albeit shorter, with a three-day weekend.

It was Wesak Day yesterday, but as it fell on Sunday, the replacement holiday for it is today. It makes no difference to us, but we are not complaining. The good thing about this is that the renovation at the house behind us—yes, that’s still ongoing—is not allowed today. So there’s some peace at home.

We should enjoy these breaks whenever they occur, for it will be some time before the next long weekend comes around!
