A journey back to work place

1st of January 2010. A date which i would never forget. A date where i headed back home to work place. I had to go back earlier as on the next day i have a meeting to be attended. I wish i could go back home on the 4th but my job requires me to go back home early.

I started up my journey from hometown around 7am. We brought 2 cars. My father and mother in-law,my fiance, his 2 uncles were my best companion back home. We took the less travelled short cut to Tawau which was 'Kalabakan'. Man! It was a damn good experience driving on the gravel road. My mother in law was in one car with me. And the guys took the 4 wheel car with them.... How ignorant of them leaving the ladies in one car. There should be one guy joining us but it turned out fine for both of us. Me and my mother in law had loads of things to catch up and stories to be told:)

It was an advantage being together without the guys hahahahaha......

Kalabakan road was all the way gravel from SEPULUT until KALABAKAN roundabout. Gosh! I felt i was in a rally as i cruised on the stony and sandy road. All i saw while driving were 4 wheel cars passing by me. I felt so small as i only drove a small sedan hahahahah:) Which actually is not suitable for the road. I drove up until 70 to 90 per km. I'm really getting the car a painful trip that day. I felt i was massaged through out the whole gravel journey. Bumping all the stony stones.....Whoaaah! It was good!

The scenery filled up my boredness when me and my mother in law were filled with silence. I could only hear the prickling stones hitting every body of the car...hehhehehe..It was noisy!

~We had our lunch in the middle of the jungle~
We stopped a few minutes, at one place, 30 minutes after 'MALIU BASIN' there was pure and clean water at the side of the road. It was a beautiful place to rest. Mother nature really knows the human's need, but we never appreciated her, as much as she does to US!

~The water was refreshing and cold~

We arrived at Tawau nearly 3pm. We were a bit late from schedule due to the places we stopped for a few times. They went back home on the same day.

Arrived home, took my shower and went to sleep around 3:45pm and woke up around 7pm. Right after i woke up, i felt my body in pain. Oh! Gees! It was a tiring trip. I really wanted to go for a massage. I was really exhausted and i really felt like hiring a maid to cook for me that night. I was hungry. But i was tired to drive to town.

Called up a friend and went out for dinner. I couldn't speak much at that juncture. My head was all on foods and reflexology.

I didn't know driving could give big impact to weakness. I thought i would be okay after a few hours rest but the answer was -No-....
