No I'm not joking - indeed, today after work, I'd be off on a holiday.
Finally, I get to do this after reaching the "I'm-almost- burnt-out" stage.
Tomorrow, Wednesday 10 November 2004, I'll be leaving good old Kuala Lumpur for the peaceful and quiet Kerteh in Terengganu.
It will be an approximate six hour drive from this cosmopolitan city to reach the east coast state of Terengganu but having been there before, I'd tell you that it is really worth the drive, time and money spent on fuel and toll.
This shall be my first trip to Terengganu after the Karak-Kuantan highway has been open to motorists - in the past, there was no highway for those heading to the west coast.
So, in the good old days, it would take one about 9 hours drive to reach this destination, taking into account brief pit-stops for a quick visit to the loo, refuelling and meals.
One had to be content with using the old road once the Karak highway ended past Genting and Bukit Tinggi.
Am eager for this getaway, as much as I'm eager to know what this year's festival of lights will be like - celebrated away from home but with the company of my parents.
