New year, new calendar, more holiday dates you should be aware of!
Starting fresh into the new year means everyone will have something they look forward to— like more holiday dates after just finishing the 2025 year-end holiday! From us to you, we don’t think it’s greedy to want more😉
Now, we are sure you do not want this to be you. Plan ahead and make sure you are prepared for all the activities you have in mind for the upcoming 2026 holidays!
As a part of Malaysia’s culture, religious or cultural holidays are often dedicated for families to gather from all over the country and reunite. Of course, we know that this is a crucial moment for all the mothers to replace the old curtain and buy ingredients for the family’s meals, while our fathers check on the cars to make sure the journey to our hometown is safe and sound. These have been a habitual routine for all families in Malaysia during every holiday season.
Sometimes, things do not go our way and emergency funds can be useful for those unfortunate surprises. Knowing this pattern of expenses, it is a must for us to prepare a saving and set aside some funds for our celebrations to progress smoothly without a hitch!

‘Tis the moment every student and even working parents anticipate. From Malaysia to Japan and even to Europe, everyone has their own choice of place! Long holidays like end-of-year school holidays are usually spent for vacation with family members overseas or out-of-state.
It is undeniable there are lots of funds needed to make your dream vacation comes true. From transportation, accommodation, shopping, and down to your outfit for that OOTD post; we have countless commitments in our hands. A little advice from us, it would be a smart move to start saving up from the start of 2026 for that once-in-a-lifetime trip!

Short holidays are often the most underappreciated yet needed holiday for everyone to recharge after days of working hard. In 2026, there will be few short holidays or national holidays where you can dedicate them to rest and focus on your own self-care.
Some suggestions for a day out would be having a spa day, going on a walk someplace new, or simply lounging at home with your loved ones. However, it would be recommended for you to join a parade or celebration when it comes to national holidays as a true Malaysian! Not only would it make your off day more productive but also memorable.
