National Day Holidays?

So we've celebrated, and celebrated some more, received kings and queens, cut thousands of red ribbons, danced and sang, blocked traffic, unblocked traffic, and the celebrations continue. But where is our holiday?
.
I don't know exactly when the 40th National Day celebrations will end (or will they continue for a year?) but rumor has it that next Tuesday and Wednesday will be a National Holiday. As in the 7th and 8th. Some sources say it'll be a three day holiday (6th-8th).
.
Anyone out there with some useful information to share? :)

  1. I've heard the same rumours, but I don't believe anything until it's formally announced :)

  2. Ugh. I mean, for many people holiday means going away for a mini-vacation! Don't we have the right to plan our holidays IN ADVANCE? One of the more annoying aspects of His Majesty's office.

    a thousand years if you want it to.....'
