Ah, December, the month we all love to hate, or hate to love, depending on who we ask. And i’m counting the days until my next holiday…
Top Ten Things You’ll Bound to Hear in December

- “Wow, I’ve watched Narnia 4 times already, I’m going to watch it again tonight!”
- OMG, my kids are driving me up the wall! How many more days until school reopens again?!”
- “Next year Chinese New Year fall on what day ah? How many days off do we get ah?”
- “Next year i’ll quit smoking… And this time i’ll keep my resolution, unlike this year. And last year, and the one before that.”
- “Your company got table calendar or not? Don’t have pikcher of pletty ger one i dowan ah…”
- “Eh, dun buy car now la. Everybody say next year car price sure come down one. Sure thing one.”
- “Eh! That-that supermarket got ‘post DeepaRaya pre-Christmas GongXi year end moving clearance sale‘!!! We must go man!!!!”

“aiya. year end oledi. must finished off my leaves. where to go ah?”

“wow! times flies by fast. so fast a year going to finish.”
ghost, next year’s CNY will fall on 29 jan, which is a sunday. holidays will be the usual 2 days public holiday lah.
S-Kay
Next year CNy you ppl can take whole week off coz Sunday – Day 1 CNY, Monday – Day 2 CNY, Wednesday – CNY Replacement holiday (for the Sunday one), Thursday – Some Public Holiday. So all you have to do is take Wednesday and Friday off and you’ll have 9 days holiday
