Christine and I were engaged in 1973. We met while we were working in Brunei Shell. She was a nurse at the Panaga hospital. I was staying at the SRC bachelor flats, next door and working at the wireline workshop at NIA, under Pat de Alwis. I was a wireline operator servicing those land wells at Anduki, doing wax cutting and running Amerada surveys using small portable Mathey units on a trailer pulled by a Land Rover.Every year after we got married in 1975, Christine and I made a pilgrimage to Kuantan to visit her family. We flew from Miri to Singapore, staying overnight in a hotel and the next morning at Arab Street we caught a bus which took us across the causeway to Johore, Mersing and Kuantan. The first time in 1975 we had to cross two rivers by ferry at Rompin and Mersing. The whole bus journey took over 7 hours.
