Another Festival Coming Up

Another holiday stretch is coming up that will promise congested highways and by-ways and federal roads.

Be it southbound to Johor, Melaka and Negri Sembilan. Or northbound to Perlis, Perak, Penang and Kedah.

The hotels will fully booked and even the "half-star" hotels will not be left alone.

But it will a welcome break fro office workers and a sudden business spike for the samll business, especially the food stalls.

May be it is the thrills and excitement of going back to the kampongs, villages and small towns that mark the inevitable exodus.

To the Chinese friends and colleagues, Gong Xi Fa Chai and to the rest of us happy holidays. Berhati-hati di jalan raya. (alang bidara - 24/1/2006).
