Facets of life

Don’t remember when was the last time I penned in here :X and I can’t be bothered to check it either.  Yes! I’m feeling very very lazy today……well it may sounds unreasonable to foreigners but I think M’sia has too many Public Holidays lah!!! 

(feels like sipping some voka orange now…)

You see, I just took a week’s break in early May, then back to work for less than 27days and have to take compulsory leave from work because of the Gawai Holiday (Dayak Harvest Festival) + our Agong’s birthday — straight for 4 days from June 1 to 4th, then back to work for another 2 weeks and have to take another two days off work to KL for joining an event……how can I have a consistent stamina to work leh??  Geez, some more I’m sounding more Manglish(M’sian English)!!!

A friend who went to England recently for a "job vacation"<– seriously I have not a clue of what their real definition for this "J V" mean, anyway, she said the private business firms are very generous with their worker’s annual leaves — 2 months compared to generally 2 weeks in M’sia.  In additional, British have 3 months maternity leaves and 1 month paternity leave.  One can take extra one month unpaid leave (my company is charging 2 days payment for one day unpaid leave)!

However, when I come to think of the Malay, Chinese, Indian, Dayaks new year celebrations, plus many other public holidays — no wonder some of my foreign friends who is currently working in M’sia are also complaining M’sia has way too many holidays (bad for the boss, good for the worker is their comment).  BUt hey!  If you compare our annual leaves with overseas firm — I think there aren’t so many difference yeah?
