Sematan Drive

I drove all the way to Sematan last week. Mum was on official duty to SMK Sematan and since I've got nothing much to do other than rotting at home, I decided to take mum as well as my grandparents for a car ride all the way there. I downgraded myself and drove mum's Proton Saga instead of dad's Suzuki Invader, why ? Cause' the size of dad's car is not user friendly.

I had some chicken porridge at some shop. They misplaced and trade an egg for fish balls and a hidden prawn in my bowl. Still it only costs RM2 for an average sized breakfast.


Mum offered to drive for the first half route since I was still drowsy and it would be ravenously awful for me to get involved in an accident and loose my driving license for driving under the influence of heavy eye lids. Snapshot using my phone and realised that morning sky was painted deep azure blue. Too bad those hills and mountains are bare and naked due to men's overzealous attempts in globalization. I pity mother nature.

I continued the second half of the journey. The greatest thing driving far distance was that I can speed up to a maximum of 100km/h [ if mum didn't notice ] since there was hardly any vehicles other than huge bulky lorries and I simply overtook them with ease. With a speed rage between 80km/h to 100km/h there were still many vehicles that overtook me like a speeding bullet. Obviously they were driving at least 120km/h. Due to safety measures and carrying 3 other innocent lives along with me, I shall drive in moderation.

Dropped mum at SMK Sematan and I brought my grandparents to Sematan town. It's a small quiet town. Simple yet inviting since there were no notorious drivers and the best part was.. parking spaces are everywhere! My grandparents and I took a morning stroll along a pathway, having some quality time with them. My golden moments with them. My grandpa still looks smart even in his late 80s.

The beach was calm and inviting. With sound of waves slowly hitting against the shore, it's minute yet being able to lift the entire ocean. Serenity that one can hardly find in a mundane city. My lungs were fertilized and my mind was once cleared off and left in blissful blankness.

Had lunch at some seafood restaurant and we ordered seafood friend noodles as recommended by the shop owner. Scrumptious with those squids and huge mouth watering prawns, I can hardly find this in Kuching. I came across some tourist from Europe having their meal at that shop as well and all I can hear was " Hmm.. It's very fresh... It's really fresh.. " in their British accent. We went to the town market and bought a myriad of seafood to be brought back home since it was amazingly cheap according to my grandma.

After all the driving my legs were badly swollen and extremely exhausted. I shall retreat from driving for a couple of days to recharge myself, never knew driving was that tiring.
