Green Day

Yup, its Green Day alright, the time of year is here, after a month of fasting its time to celebrate Hari Raya. Yay! Well the festivities started on Thursday, Nov 03, and will go on as long as Syawal in is the calendar for this year. Should be ending sometime in late Nov or early Dec.

Anyway, got some green packets as usual. I should be rejoicing but lets put it this way, the money tap dries up when you get older. Sure, you shouldn't be mercenary but every cent counts these days, especially if you're a young adult trying to make your mark in the world.

Of course I had the usual pep talk by my relatives to get a job soon and get married to my gf. But hey, its my life so I'll live it the way I want. I'll definitely be out looking for a job soon, because I've been bumming around for too long. Who doesn't want to get a job and earn some money? I do, because I want to settle down soon and we're not getting any younger. I guess anything will do at this point. Shucks, like they say "beggars can't be choosers". I'm not begging or anything but I need a job.

So back on the happy track, next up is Christmas and time to celebrate with my Catholic relatives. Then its Happy New Year and a brand new year appears, 2006. Then come February its CNY again and I'll be one happy bugger.. the money tap doesn't dry up there. Haha!

Anyway, Selamat Hari Raya to my fellow Muslim brothers and sisters out there, and happy holidays to everyone else. Visiting relatives is next up on the schedule and to the racist despots out there, damn you and damn your ideas. I'm content with being part Chinese and Malay and happy with the fact that I'm Muslim. :)
