Hari Raya Qurban (Sacrifice)/Hari Raya Haji 2007






Living in a multi racial society like Malaysia, we observe a lot of public holidays as compared to many other countries. There are fourteen public holidays nationally and Sabah as a State has another four days for namely Good Friday, Harvest Festival (2 days) and TYT’s birthday/Malaysia Day. Altogether as Sabahan Malaysians we have eighteen days of public holidays per year.

This year I still have 15.5 days of annual leave but I won’t be taking any for the Christmas/New Year period. In 2008 I will be entitled to 21 days of annual leave.

Today I woke up around 10am. I haven’t woken up at that hour for a long time. But then I went to dreamland at almost 2am which meant I only slept for eight hours.

I did not go anywhere and decided to relax at home today. The weather has been cooling without much sun and now the rain has come down. Such a nice and cooling day for a change.

Eventhough I enjoy buffet spread, I can eat simply as well. For brunch, I opened a small can of Yeo’s Mutton Curry with Potatoes (recommended to me by Sharon Lai a few months ago) with the leftover fried meehoon from yesterday. For afternoon tea, I had an egg tart (which is also grannie’s favourite). (Maybe another thing to eat more of and live longer life :))

Tonight Chloe Chong and Alistair Ng are going to perform at the Gaya Christmas Celebration organised by the Sabah Council of Churches and Dewan Bandaraya Kota Kinabalu (KK City Hall), an annual event third time running.
