Now I know.....

Now I finally know why in Malaysia we always have long festive holidays. If they are not one-week long, they are at least two or three days long, like the Deepavali holidays this time. Remember the ban for fire crackers? Well, apparently the ban was not very effective (obviously!). So, instead of having a preventive measure, the govenment has sought to using cures. Since people like to play with fire crackers, especially at night after bedtime, the government allows long festive holidays. Just in case people didn't get enough sleep and can't wake up for school and work the next morning, it's okay, cause there will be holidays. Aww.... how nice! But just too unfortunate for people like me who enjoy and cherish a night of peaceful slumber.
