Long Weekend

This weekend will be a long weekend. It is the Muslim celebration of the Shawal month or commonly known as Hari Raya Aidilfitri.

The exact date is still yet to be fixed as it is based on a very traditional lunar sighting on the 19th of Sept to determine the moon indicating the new month. Prior to this celebration, the Muslim goes thru a one full month of Ramadan or Fasting Month. They are not allowed to drink or eat during the day time.

Hence, if the 1st day falls on Sunday i.e. 20th of Sept 2009, then we will have a four days break from Saturday to Tuesday. No plans for now. Perhaps its just enjoying the break by staying at home or be with my gf roaming around the malls or shopping complexes or perhaps go catch a movie.

Anyway, if the 1st day of celebration falls on Sunday even, I am still going for the monthly volunteering work with Tzu Chi in Klang free clinic.

Don't know if it is because of the fact that too many people is travelling back to home town or perhaps is just a coincidence, I went to fill in my petrol this morning, to my surprise, 2 petrol stations I went to ran out of the RON97 fuel. So have to drive further to search for a third petrol station to fill up.

Well, I not a big fan of visiting places / going for holidays during the festive season as most of the tourist attraction areas will be packed. Everyone is taking opportunities to go for a short holiday. Furthermore, the roads will be jammed. Not going to be a pleasure drive at all.

I have to apologise to my gf for having such a boring bf. Not bringing her anywhere interesting for the holidays.

Anyway, will make the most out of this holidays.. Selamat Hari Raya Aidilfitri to those who are celebrating, to those who are not, Happy Holidays!!
