Here in Malaysia, it's normal for a company to allow a long break during lunch on Friday. It's to allow the Muslim male staff to go for Friday prayer. My company gives us a break from 1 pm to 2.45 pm. On such day, I would usually go out with my friend for lunch and then just talking, trying to catch up on each others' lives. We could hardly speak to each other during work after all.
Here's a picture from our outing today. I bought another pack of pre-cut honeydew. I still couldn't find the whole fruit there.
Image is mine.

I think my favorite Malaysia food was Beef Rendang (that may be spelled wrong)

@DocAndersen there's also chicken tika here but you won't find it easily in any restaurant. Maybe a mamak restaurant would have it. Ever eat in mamak restaurant while you was here?

Is honeydew the sliced green ones? That looks like guava to us.

Good that you get such a long break and as such on Friday, the weekend mode sets in. 
And it's good to catch up with friends and colleagues at work
Have a good weekend

I like honey dew, but I love cantaloupe a little more.
It's nice that the company allows a longer break on Friday.

@prinzcy I wish we had such a nice selection of sliced fruit in our stores. I have to go to another town to get this and the prices are expensive.
It's good this is allowed. I think companies here will make accommodations sometimes for those practicing their faith.

That is a long lunch break. Here, most lunch breaks are for one hour. And that is usually too long for a lot of us. I always fall asleep on my lunch break. Usually for half an hour. I set an alarm on my phone to wake me so I can be back at work on time.

@prinzcy I always took 15 minutes to eat, 15 minutes to read and 30 minutes to nap.

What a good break time to do just what you do. I like cut fruit too. Living alone, a whole fruit is too much. I found a store that has just the right amount for a good price.
