The Wrath

The Wrath, originally uploaded by [n].

So the deluge of public holidays has finally ended and Malaysians can now return to complete work weeks and the knowledge that all the shops are back open and that the guy from accounting who has to approve the final payments is back from his 2 week leave.

How did it go?

Christmas - New Years - Chinese New Year - FT Day - Thaipusam

I'm not complaining. After 4 years of working every public holiday that came my way, including every one in 2008, it was nice to dodge some bullets and have some time off.

Now its down to serious business and I've gone ahead and done something that I've been meaning to do for two years... no better time to do it than in the midst of the gravest economic conditions the world has faced in a looooong long time... I've quit my job.

So far I've verbally gone through the motions. Tomorrow I put it in writing and then work out the terms of the notice and all the outstanding stuff.

What will I do instead? I've got a plan, but it is too sensitive and too tedious to explain on a blog, for the time being. Not to be too cliffhangery, I will say that my brother and I are starting a business together and the freedom from having to work a 9-Whatever-Time-You-Finish is that I get to set how I spend my day, and what I'm devoting my schedule to... means I get to give this new business the due attention which it definitely NEEDS and DESERVES (otherwise why bother trying to start something anyway).

So good luck to me. Good luck to you.

P.s' I'm so tired of the cliche Thaipusam pictures. I love the shot attached to this post by [n]. I keep hearing big booming kettle drums and ominous sounding horns whenever I look at it. DUH DUH DUH DUHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.
