So you might have noticed that the long weekend’s here – that’s four whole days of you not needing to work! And you might as well make the most of it. Not really sure how that would work? That’s okay. Because we have the ultimate long weekend guide for you!

#1 Pack your room.

Yeah we know the reason that you’re always late is because you weren’t able to untangle your phone from the mass of wires it got tangled up in. That or your keys were lost under the masses of furniture which just so happened to be mysteriously strewn all over the place.

Yeah. It’s perhaps time to pack your room. You have had four days. Get cracking!

#2 Catch up with your TV series.

So you probably know by now that, *drumroll* Jon Snow died in the season finale of Game Of Thrones. No? Oops. Sorry. My bad.

Anyway, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?! You have four days of freedom. Use them wisely. Time to curl up in front of the television with bags of junk food, cans of alcohol, and a hard drive packed with a few terabytes of trashy American dramas.

Then maybe you’ll finally be able to see how Daenerys manages to escape a bloody death with the help of her dragon.

#3 Do your laundry.

Remember the time when you were able to find the jumped cheerfully out of bed, flung open the cupboard and saw the outfit that was just perfect for you to start the rest of the day?

Neither do I! Possibly because I never do my laundry and end up throwing on whatever clean clothes I have left.

But I heard that you’d have more options and possibly become more fashionable* if you bothered to do your laundry. Let me know how that works out for you.

*Subject to how fashionable the clothes you own are.

#4 Do your Christmas shopping.

Don’t be distressed if you really can’t find any fashionable clothes in your wardrobe, because I have the perfect solution for that...

You can buy a whole new wardrobe of clothes in four days. And you can be forward looking just this once and do your Christmas shopping while you’re at it. Maybe just this once, your friends won’t get expiring chocolate from the CLEARANCE section of the supermarket for Christmas.

#5 Stalk your ex-es.

Feeling depressed about your sad life? Don’t worry. Time to feel better by stalking your loser ex-es.

No, it’s not because you have issues and you want to feel superior and gloat over their loser lives.

But rather because you have a rather poor memory.

And if he’s having a fantastic life without you then well, maybe it’s time for some distraction tactics.

Like getting a hobby!

#6 Pick up a new hobby.

Hobbies are great. Finally! A legitimate reason to obsess over something which won’t throw out a restraining order against you!

I heard that alcoholism is a great way of forgetting your problems. But if you’re looking for something a little less socially-acceptable, I heard knitting is all the rage now.

#7 Go on a last-minute holiday.

Since two-night room rates seem to have curiously soared over the weekend (read here), going overseas seems to be a more financially viable option when it comes to escaping your screaming sibling and yelling neighbours.

I’ve done your homework for you. If you intend to book your tickets today, fly out tomorrow, and return to Singapore on Monday, you can get round trip flights to Jakarta for $136 with Lion Air.

You’re welcome and I hope you enjoy the Indonesian traffic jams!

#8 Sort your photos.

I know you have a lot of unsorted photos in your phones and cameras. Don’t lie! I know you like to take multiple shots of everything for insurance. Why the number of bathroom selfies in your phone could probably fill up an entire encyclopaedia.

So this long weekend, make use of your time to delete the stalker pictures you have of your neighbours, and the photos your friends took when you were sprawled on the floor, drunk. There’s no need to keep those for the memories. Your friends probably had them uploaded on STOMP.

#9 Clean up your Facebook friends.

So there’s that irritating new mother who keeps posting updates about her baby every five minutes, that fitness-wannabe who constantly posts selfies of him at the gym (which he should totally cancel his membership for, judging by the results), and that emo-loser who is always moaning about why her life sucks.

Yeah I know while these people provide you affirmation that you are not as incompetent at using Facebook as they are, they probably should be deleted from your Facebook. You know it! But it’s okay you have four days to think about who is really worth deleting and who you should just leave on your Facebook friend list to provide yourself with some entertainment when you’re stuck in meetings.

#10 Catch up on your sleep.

And if none of the nine items listed above caught your fancy, then maybe you can consider just going to sleep.

The good thing about sleep is that time passes very quickly. And before you know it, four days would have passed without you having to think of activities to occupy yourself with!

And yes, that was 10 things that you can do over the long weekend. But if you want to be boring and orthodox, then I guess you can go for some of these activities instead.
