A long drive

To Sibu. We went to Sibu from Kuching today to visit my father's elder brother, Pak Long. The drive took about 6 hours of 460km non-stop driving with the help of my GPS navigation system. Strangely the drive didn't tire me very much. I guess my mind was absorbed in memories of me when I was a 10 year old kid with my 4 family members travelling in my father's Mitsu Pajero on mostly gravel road from Brunei's Kuala Belait border to Kuching. That was year 1988. Now, the road condition has very much improved (tarmac), travelling in a much refined late model Toyota Prado with me(!) as the driver and with only 1 familiar face from the 1988 trip. It has been 20 years...
