It’s that time of the year when Belacan Girl and I will have ‘creative discussions’ (read: annoying arguments) on when/where to take our next vacation. She normally likes to plan wayyyy ahead, while I’m the type who likes to decide at the very last minute. (Any others like us out there?)
I had read somewhere that next year Malaysia will be having 11 three-day weekends, or something like that. God bless this country-lah! So many holidays! It’s a miracle how we manage to grow the economy with all these holidays.
Anyways, I’ve put up the Malaysia Public Holiday 2015 calendar below for all your vacation planning purposes. My next task: find some money to finance all these vacations! Nak cuti pun kena pakai duit jugak… Urgghhhhh….
