holidays... is it a must???

it's 5.45p.m and i'm still at my office... marking business law's test for my business student... suddenly, i realized that i am so tired... so, blogging is the best way to overcome this problem of tiredness.. (actually, sleep or eat are two best thigs that u can do when u r tired, but none of those could be done now..)

i just read tun mahathir's blog and i find it interesting when he wrote about too many holidays in malaysia... i personally like holidays, which mean i have the oppurtunity to rest after 5 days of long hard working... i experienced the hardship of working and i cannot stop staying at the office because there are too many things that are pending and need my utmost attention... and sometimes i wish that there is a holiday in the mid weekdays, somewhere in wednesday or thursday...

sometimes the tense is so high and i barely noticed the time has passed so fast that it was already 6 or 7 pm... but yet i still have so many things to be settled on that day... i think that's why i need a holiday especially a long holiday... i have no real holidays since i came back from australia. every day is full with loads of work and weekend is busy with the wedding preparation. i need a rest of one or two weeks so that i can put things to its normal conditions. but i'm restrained by the fact that i have 13 days of rest day and have to use it totally for hari raya holiday and my wedding leave... hish, this uitm memang tak kasik i rest langsung... never mind, it's going to be a few months before next year and next year i'm entitled to 30 days of annual leave... tak sabarnya...!!!

however, i also realized that too many holidays will make things worst especially when we are developing country... like tun's said, developing country like malaysia cannot afford too many holidays in order to achieve the status of developed country by 2020... if we are slower than the developed country, then we cannot catch their development... therefore, we have to be efficient... yeah2, theoratically i support his proposition but practically and personally, i am of the view that people need rest and how long it is, it does not matter as long as you finish your work on time...

on this point i want to refer to ayang's blog where he posted one article about a workaholic employee who died on his table at the office but no one noticed about it until 5 days later. yeah, why work hard when no one have ever take notice...!!! so, do things moderately! (but i still regard myself as workaholic.... which explain why i am still at the faculty when nobody are still around) argh!!! and correct me if i'm wrong; i think holidays is a must........ how long it is?? i think i would depends on each particular individual to interpret it....
