10 Long Weekends with 6 Days of Leave

With just six days of leave to take, you can get a total of 10 long weekends in return for the year ahead. The year 2017 has been blessed with three mid-week breaks, awesomely spaced apart: Vesak Day on 10 May, National Day on 9 Aug, and Deepavali on October 18. 

For your well-deserved holiday breaks, you can always take a two-day leave and make each of them become a five-day long weekend.

Otherwise, those Wednesdays alone can allow you to just take a short break and freshen up for the rest of the week.
