Like all Singaporeans, I always look forward to a long break from work. I try to squeeze a short flight out to Bangkok or China for shopping; or slack out in front of the TV watching my long list of unwatched DVDs, or play the Wii or PS3. Well, I declare 2009 a year of slacking as there will be a bumper crop of long weekends next year.
Here is the list of public holidays in 2009:
New Year's Day -1 January (Thu)
Chinese New Year-26, 27 January (Mon, Tue)
Good Friday -10 April (Fri)
Labour Day -1 May (Fri)
Vesak Day -9 May (Sat)
National Day -9 August (Sun)
Hari Raya Puasa -20 September (Sun)
Deepavali -15 November (Sun)
Hari Raya Haji -27 November (Fri)
Christmas Day -25 December (Fri)
Looking at the dates, by just taking 1 day leave next year, you can get 29 days break. And those who gets off-in-lieu for Sat holidays, you can get 32 days of rest. Or without even taking any leave, you can effectively have at least 8 long weekends!
Okay time to seriously plan my slacker year of 2009. Buddies..any plans??
