An end to a weekend, and a new week blooms. Soon (next week in fact), that much-awaited for week is here...after a drought and dry-spell of non- holidays. Holidays mean alot to working professionals like me...heh
I rather like this year, the way holidays fall so nicely into place, like Deepavali and Hari Raya coming so closely next to each other; like how Christmas and New Year will fall on Sundays (rendering the consecutive Monday a holiday again). The last holiday was National Day, in August. Everyone was dreading the next three months, which were holiday-less. Time sure flies.
Everyone seems to be making plans of some sort during this long period of rest. Except me *sulks* Then again, no place to go. For one, I don't like crowds. For another, most places would be full...meaning no availability anywhere anyway. Sigh.
Parents, bro and me were discussing to go holiday during CNY 2006. CNY will be end Jan, falling on Sunday and Monday for the customary first and second day, which means to say that Tuesday will be a holiday too. Throw in the weekend, and we will have ourselves Saturday to Tuesday, about 4 days. My parents work 365 days a year, minus the CNY period, so this is the best and only time they can go anywhere in fact. My dad is keen on the idea and definitely my mom too, though she cannot make up her mind where she wants to go. First a cruise, next Genting, then Phuket, and then finally, we decided to check out Perth. Since the place has got "nothing much" (thanks to alot of feedback), four days should be sufficient. I was even considering that if we do go Perth, I may even even take another 3 days' leave to go Sydney and visit my friend studying there. Cool huh...
Then...sigh. We realised that Perth will be hot. Hot and dry spell during the summertime. Me scared hot. Though it wouldn't be humid, but still...can't imagine...so sad. We gonna go home tonight and discuss things further.
Till then...
