I love my long weekends

Monday, October 27, 2008

I'm very glad for a long weekend every once in a while. Most of the time, I like to take my Fridays off from work and make it an extended weekend myself. But for times like this when a festival calls for a long weekend, I love it even more because everyone gets to be at home together. We thought of going for a day trip yesterday but decided against it as traffic may be heavy and my guess is that the crowd would probably be huge where we wanted to go. So we stayed home to relax instead, enjoying some quiet time.

We've been attending 2 weddings in a row over the last 2 weekends. Needless to say, I've been pigging out at these functions. After a few too many wedding dinners, sometimes I yearn for healthy cooking at home of simple dishes instead of an elaborate spread.

But today didn't start off very healthy for us...we had McDonald's for breakfast and it's keeping us full even at lunch time. I got a feeling we'll probably be snacking on some fatty stuff over tea afterwards. That's the true Malaysian style to live up a long weekend, isn't it?

How I wish weekends are made of 3 days instead of 2. I would feel very rejuvenated with a 3-day break every week!
