In case you didn’t notice, half a year has already passed us by. June 30 was the end of the first half of 2006, it’s now the third week of the July.
People always say that time flies when you’re having fun. That’s true. But it flies even faster when your chest deep in working every freaking day. Looking back to the first half of 2006, Chinese New Year seemed so long ago.
I went on a couple of trips early in the year – Penang and Ipoh with my friends and Singapore with my family. Regular readers (yes, all three of them) will remember them. June was predominantly preoccupied with that obscure sporting non-event (known in some circles as ‘World Cup’) and trying to keep awake at my desk in the hours in between.
I dunno. I kinda tired of work, and there aren’t any public holidays to look forward to except National Day. But I can see a few backdoor ways to get an un-gazetted public holiday:
- Haze causes KL City to be closed down for a week. Hey, from the looks of this year’s edition, it’s possible…
- Office shuts down overwhelming stench of rotting durian husks (and seeds) everywhere.
- Sugar shortage causes fructose-withdrawal syndrome among my staff. So office declares holiday for staff to go home and drink Glucolin. Or Ribena.
Okay, I’m not going anywhere with this top ten list. You know its not working when I mention Glucolin.
On another note, Pelf is participating in a blogathon in support of the Eden Handicap Service Centre. Visit their website, and if you can support them. Or at least pass it on.

A holiday for the super-hot weather. Couldn’t stand the heat these days plus the durian adds the ‘heatiness’on us.
