Long Weekend Is Over
It was four days holiday: Mawlid al-Nabi (the birthday of Muhammad, PBUH) on Thursday and Easter on Friday, then regular weekend. Long weekend means Jakarta was free from jam traffic, streets were empty. As a consequence, people went for holiday to many cities around, crowds in parks, and destination on Bandung, my city.
Mawlid was celebrated in limited fest, usually by some discussions about the life of Muhammad and its context to nowadays. Easter had specific rite as I saw on television, arranged in churches or some religion-related place. Other than religious fests which are close to commercial attributes, these holy days are for belief awakening.
Still, long weekend forced me to keep away from reguler works and handle some domestic jobs. Nice to have more time with kids to extra patience accompanying them to go around.
Monday comes and I stand up for working day again. I told that I hate Garfield (because of its saying, "hate monday"), and a comment posted that it is blasphemy. Nice!
Happy working days, everyone!
