Another day, another month

The month of February just zoomed past. It is the shortest month of the year with only 28 days (29 on leap years). And this year, February seems even shorter with the Lunar New Year holidays. Time just seems to fly by when you're on vacation and not needing to worry about work.

Today is March 1st. And the beginning of a long two months before another holiday for us working folks here in Penang, Malaysia. Now that I'm working, I really look forward to the public holidays that we get each year. This year, there are no holidays in March and April. So that makes it 60 days before our next holiday on May 1st. That just seems so far away. But somehow, even when working, I know it will pass soon, and then I'll be enjoying my three-day weekend again.

Oh, how I wish to be studying again and getting those long breaks between semesters! If I could tell my studying-self back then one thing, it would be to cherish and enjoy those breaks. Cause in the working life, there are no such things. There are only public holidays observed several times throughout the year. But some is better then none, right?
