Time for a break

The kids are on their 3 weeks term break since last Friday. It will also be a long weekend away from work with tomorrow being Good Friday, followed by Easter Monday. Traditionally it's among the busiest time in Europe when people set off for a short break. In UK alone some 2 million will be flying. In mainland Europe, people normally travel on the road to places to the South for warmer and sunnier weather. For that we are also planning on a trip. It's not a 'jejak rasul' this time but more of a European cultural tour. We will set off early on Saturday. Watch the space...

From then on it will be quite hectic time work-wise.

Back home not much news coming out. Apart from the housing projects which seemed to be much 'talked about', I was actually desperate to hear more drastic economic stimulus to alleviate the current unemployment syndrome. Alas, seems to be still in a state of denial, one expert said the country is immune to the recession because of the large employment in public sector - he might missed the subtle point, that is the very reason why we must move faster as the economy feeding the public sector is almost non-existent except for the black gold. And again some still missed another subtle point, territorial gain (if that is really the outcome), still requires effort to find the black gold. Hope is not enough. Acknowledging that all blessing and richness come from God Almighty, without effort the hope would not translate into a tangible outcome.
