The festive year end holidays have all come and gone (or perhaps not for some). Whether you have made it worthwhile or not, don’t regret not planning for a dream trip to your favourite locations or spending too little time with your family and friends due to commitments.
[[perfectpullquote]]failing to plan is planning to fail so we just plan first[/[perfectpullquote]]Fret not though and buck up, for we have compile a full list of public holidays this year. Look through all of them and here’s new year resolution for you: Plan your holidays for this year by this week. Oh yes, go forth and plan away because the old saying goes, failing to plan is planning to fail so we just plan first. Whether you actually do it or not, that’s a later story. ;)

Quite a few holidays are falling on good weekdays, and when we say good it simply means they are near the start of the week or before the weekend. This is important since you only need to take day off your already limited leave days to enjoy a super long weekend. Perfect for short getaways out of town to neighbouring countries with excellent beaches, or that shopping destination or even perhaps an adventure/backpack trip that’s always on your mind.
