Eid Mubarak and A Happy New Year

Jay, soon weekend after a week were I have been working really hard. Well not really two days at work and I mostly been playing with the computer. But don't tell my boss.

Next week is only three days long as it is New Years day on Monday and Eid Al-Adha is on Sunday and as holidays falling on "red" days will be carried forward to the next holiday free day, we get 2nd of January off as well.

Eid Al-Adha seem to be the less of the two Eid festivals here, but they still do sacrifices. By the Surau were I live. they are going to sacrifice seven or eight cows. I am happy I am going balik kampung so I have a good excuse to stay away from. I don't think I could stand watching cows getting their throats open. So unless they start sacrificing fish or vegetables I think I will avoid that particular part of the Eid. Rather become pesco vegetarian than start killing animals myself.

Anyway Eid Mubarak and a Happy New Year to all of you.
