Sunday Oh Sundae~

Halo~
What's up? It's the ceiling (or sky, depends on where you are at the moment =P)

Hokay hokay, do you guys know that Sunday is the start of the week here in Terengganu, and also in Kelantan and Kedah? Hahahaha, I'm just asking because for all you know your next desk colleague might not know about it, or some high school kids who are still in their own lala land on a happy world, thinking about romance and love, thanks to the sinetron, dramas, soaps (not that bar soap in the bathroom). Heh

Anyway, back to what I was gonna say. Hmm, so you guys do know today is the start of the week here in Kerteh. Right now I'm alone at home, my parents went to Kemaman, my younger siblings are at school. Learning about life, the good things in it and the bad things in it as well. Hahahaha..I hate the feeling that I think everyone else in the world is also having the same day as me when actually most of them are at home spending their last day of weekends!!

Okay, not that I hate it, I just got embarrassed when sometimes I said things like "I thought you're supposed to be at uni right now?", "Eh, no class today?", and "Tak keje eh hari ni?"
The common reply - "It's Sunday dude!"

My dad once told me, Johor and Perlis last time also practiced the same thing; Friday and Saturday were the weekends. One day, after the Friday prayer, the late Sultan of Johor saw kids started rushing back to school, in uniform still. So, he asked what's going on? And was told that the state government moved the start of weekend to Saturday. I don't remember what else my dad told me but that's the gist of it. The Sultan wasn't pleased because the decision was made without his knowledge.

That's what my dad told me. And I wondered how come only Terengganu, Kelantan and Kedah, plus Johor one time ago. I thought, why not I googled. But maybe the keywords I used were not clear enough so I only got the answer from Youthsays.com. Apparently there are others who ask the same thing. Hehehe. The best answer should be this one

"Ok lah tu, senang nak pergi solat Jumaat. Sebenarnya, cuti hari Ahad ni negeri-negeri bersekutu je, dan cuti hari Jumaat, pulak, negeri yang tak bersekutu. tapi last2 tinggal 3 negeri je. Translated =P

That makes sense really. I remember learning about that in Sejarah; 5 negeri-negeri tak bersekutu (what do you call it in English? Non Aligned States? =P) Terengganu, Kelantan, Perlis, Kedah, and Johor. Makes sense alright. Still, that doesn't really answer why these 5 states last time had Friday off? Is it because of the strong faith in Islam that they want to make Friday off day so that the people of the states can go to Friday prayer? That could be one of the reasons I guess.

Now that there are only three of us LOL, I guess there are some people out there that will go, "Why like that one, so troublesome?", "Waa..Friday off just because you want to go prayer, so lazy", "Apa barang Ahad pergi sekolah, orang gi tengok wayang". Haha. Being minority sucks alright, but Friday as an off day instead of Sunday is no big deal. We are still Malaysians.

hehehehe

p/s: Selamat Menyambut Bulan Kemerdekaan! Hahahah!! XP

We start with... Penang!!! 5 hours after I reached Penang, I was busy helping my dad cleaning up the lawn. hehehehe..good boy! =P Later, me and my parents had nasi kandaq! Quite a heavy meal for breakfast, I know but thats pretty common in Penang, regardless of your colour skin. If you are a Penangite, you cant care less if its heavy or not. What you know is the food is gonna last you until lunch hour for another round of nasi kandaq or maybe some other meals..

Reconnect: My Journey Back to Blogging

 Hello, fellow travel enthusiasts and friends of Malaysian adventures! It's been an incredible journey, one that saw me take an unexpected hiatus from blogging for more than three years. Life happened (more like COVID happened) —responsibilities, changes, and personal growth—but one thing remained constant: my love for exploring the beauty and diversity of Malaysia. With power to put Dillan on my back, comes great responsibility! Today, I'm excited to announce my return to the world of  blogging. It's a bit like revisiting an old friend and reminiscing about unforgettable experiences. As I dust off my keyboard and sift through the memories of past travels, I can't wait to reconnect with all of you and share new adventures. Reflecting on the Past During my hiatus, I took the time to recharge, reflect, and embark on new journeys, both physically and emotionally. I've explored different aspects of life, including my passion for raising awareness about autism, delved de

Hang Tuah The Animation?

Woah, woah! Read this at beautifulnara about a three way agreements signed by Japanese anime studio Gonzo (Blood: The Last Vampire), Malaysian animation studio Funcel and Malaysia's National Film Development Corporation to produce Hang Tuah the animation! The protagonists....maybe? The antagonists...look so.. It sounds cool to me at first but I am being a bit skeptic about having non Malaysians to make an anime out of this legendary warriors, Hang Tuah and his friends. What more, I wonder are the voice actors gonna be Japanese too? I remember watching Silat Lagenda. That was awesome for our technology that time. But I think I shouldn't be all negative about Gonzo studio animating Hang Tuah because it's a collaboration....I think? Well, you guys can read more here and here . hehehehe
