Malaysia Public Holidays & Sarawak State Holidays 2009

I want to post this since early this year in January, somehow I just too busy till I had forgotten it. Am I that busy? Yeah... act to be busy since everybody loves to say they are busy when they forgot to do something.

Definitely, I want to tell everybody that I truly Iove the year of 2009, one of the main reason is the public holidays and state holidays for this year is just too perfect for me. Huhh!! Almost all the holidays are linked to the weekends, so I can enjoy longer holiday. I work 5 days per week, off Saturday & Sunday. If any public holiday falls on Saturday, I won't lost anything as I will have another day of annual leave added automatically to my annual leave account.

Let's see how perfect is the holidays for 2009.
