The months in the Islam calendar

I used to wonder, why does the big events in Islam always changes from year to year, once we had a Kongsi Raya, where the Chinese new year and hari raya aidilfitri was together...
Then later hari raya was in July later on hmmm

So a simple extraction from Wikipedia shows us the number of months is shorter than our gregorian calendar.

1Muharram30
2Safar29
3Rabiul awal30
4Rabiul akhir29
5Jumadil awal30
6Jumadil akhir29
7Rajab30
8Sya'ban29
9Ramadhan30
10Syawal29
11Dzulkaidah30
12Dzulhijjah29/(30)
Total354/(355)
So I'll just stop here =) 

Happy awal muharram. 

May our lives be blessed by Allah =)
