It’s only the first week of the year but we (myself including colleagues Shiba and Siti) feel exhausted, burnt-out and frustrated the way one would at the end of the year. Contributing factors include but not limited to:

1. The fact while everybody else were away on their extended holidays, we were in the office having our own kind of holiday (since the bosses are out, we had our own little fun) between the anthill required work to run a department.
2. Men-related problems. No explaination needed.
3. Economic downturn = slow market = less business = no work = work driven withdrawal symptoms

To make ourselves feel better (hopefully), it was proposed that we go for a refreshing girls only holiday. Siti and I are looking forward for tranquility and relaxation while Shiba is hoping for a holiday romance (which includes plans of her being a damsel in distress when a hot guy is around).

After devising the possible itenary, we hopped on the WWW highway for some beaches, islands and highlands in the Malaysian peninsula. After much confusion over hotels & resorts rates and such, we limited our options to (a) Pulau Perhentian, (b) Pulau Redang and (c) Awana Kijal. Coincidently, every one of these destinations are located in Terengganu.

Personally, I would prefer going up to the highlands but since I recently went to Cameron last Syawal, the beach sounds nice. At least I won’t die freezing while showering.

So everyone, any suggestions about these three?
