Holiday in Malaysia

Sadly during Christmas season I am currently working. It my rotation duty week for me to put my ass in my office. Everyone is having a holiday but I be working and standby. As you all know that job in oil and gas industry is 24/7 a year. Even with the price of oil dropping below US$40 per barrel, but the production still on, and exploration still carries on, the drilling still drill for new oil field. 

This year end, Christian will cerebrate Christmas last Thursday, and Muslim will cerebrate Awal Muharam which is fall last Monday. So most of the office staffs will have a holiday on 25 Dec. But Friday is working. Unfortunately, mostly will take leave on Friday. Because Saturday and Sunday will be weekend, and plus Monday is public holiday, thus it will be 5 days break from work. Alot of things can be done for 5 days off, like go sight seeing or balik kampung. And if take leave on Tuesday and Wednesday since Thursday will be New Year holiday it will be make up another 3 days off. And some may want to take another Friday off since Saturday and Sunday will be weekend, it will be 11 days day off. Just take 4 working day of leave, and every staff can complete almost 2 weeks of holiday in Malaysia. So enjoy the long holiday and happy new year 2009.
