on vacations

No man needs a vacation so much as the man who has just had one.
- Elbert Hubbard

certainly an apt quote for such a time as this. coming back from an extended holiday, i just cannot bring myself up to speed with everything around. now, all that stands between me and my next vacation are the horrible AT presentation and midterms (which i should be studying for now, actually...). woe is me. 2 weeks to go, bren! :)

tis a never-ending cause and effect chain: i need a vacation because i just had a vacation, how logical. and a perfect excuse for a permanent vacation :p

on another note, i just counted the number of public holidays we have in singapore - really important once one starts to realised that days of regular school vacations are fast coming to an end...

the answer: 11. number of days of leave: 20?

(not bad, right!)

number of public holidays in england and wales: 8. (hmmm i just noticed that they don't have 'national day' or 'independence day', how come?!?) number of days of leave: 25

hmmm, i think this holiday thing is quite a big consideration too, better think hard!
