Weekend in KB

Simply ridiculous to have a weekend here in Kelantan. This morning I was reminded about that. I was listening to the radio then, while going out to town. The deejay was babbling about a busy weekdays' labour and rejoiced on the end of the week, which is Friday night. I gave it a thought, since I thought yesterday was Friday night. Then it struck me. Tonight IS Friday night. But what the hell. I'm not bothered about it anyway. But then there's the mall. Any mall will open daily without fail and this includes KB Mall. And there's a catch. On Fridays (Friday is a day of mass prayer for the Muslims), the mall temporarily closes at 1 pm and resumes at 2 pm. WTF! I recalled that day when I was shopping for a bag, an announcement was made out for the shoppers to leave due to their temporary closure - finally I bought a bag today and it's a nice looking bag. Now that I know of that ruling, I was more prepared. So I made my shoppings earlier and headed back to campus earlier. But our car ran low on fuel and decided to stopover the gas station. Guess what happened? Even the gas station is freakin' closed! I simply can't believe this nonsense. Isn't gas stations suppose to open 24 hours... without fail. Yet another thing to get use to. Well, different place, different culture. And as if we don't have enough birthdays for this week... So...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY STACY!

There you go. Hope you happy (always). One more thing, I'll be on study hiatus as from this blog entry. Don't worry, I'll resume soon after the exam. Wish me luck!
