1 January, first day of year 2010. After long time planning, finally only six of us, Edina, Chloe, Kay Wee, Shariman, Ronnie and me make it for the Sematan and Lundu road trip. 10.30am after picked up them, start car from Ronnie house. I forgot this is how many time I have been to this places already. But for Kay Wee, this is her first time, and for Edina it was long long time ago seen the her last visit. Along the way, the girls tool some photos, and that took us about one and the half hours to reach Lundu Bridge, and have a stop by to buy some local junk foods.
Then, to Lundu town to have our lunch and visit, we walked around the town around 12 noon, hot! and took some photos before we had our lunch at the market there.
After lunch we went to Lundu Union Retreat, took some photos there, but I just notice that we forgot to took some picture at the chalets area which it’s now is nicer than before. Surprisingly, there is not so many people there although its public holidays, and I miss the swimming pool!! But the water that day looked a bit dirty.
Then we went to Sematan, it was raining along the way but luckily when we reached the town the rain stop. So, we walk around to the place where the local people use to fishing, but who know, the rain came without any signals or symptoms. We waited in the car for few minute until the rain stop. Then moved to the Palm Beach Resort.
Sematan Beach, my favorite beach. It’s a long long beach, which you hardly see the end of the beach. Sunshine with big wave, I didn’t swim. Walk around with Chloe, Kay Wee, and Shariman while Edina and Ronnie have their fun time in the sea.
Around 5pm++, after Ronnie and Edina took their bath, it starts to rain again. We waited at the lobby there, until 5.30pm before we moved to Lundu for our seafood dinner. We called the place for booking and ordered, so it was not too long of waiting. We ordered Crab with Spicy sauce, deep fried butter milk prawn, deep fried squid, stir-fried swamp cabbage with belacan (kangkong), Nestle chicken and stir-fried Star gooseberry with eggs (money chai), fried rice for Chloe, steam rice for five and six cans drinks for RM102.50. I think is pretty cheap compared to Kuching Seafood, but its more expensive compared to last time we went. After dinner, we back to Kuching around 7.30pm and reach Kuching around 9pm.
Out of so many fun times at Sematan and Lundu, my most memorable time would be the time we stay at Florence aunty house (I think shou, with my big gang (almost complete gang), with Ryan, Ivan, Kenny, Nyet Pey, Viana, Florence, and Kim San (sorry, Meagan ^^). I miss all the small small things that we did together, where we used one car, Kim’s Unser with full of stuff, then our visit to the charcoal factory where they burn the charcoal, and Viana fall down at that place ^^, the time we have BBQ together, having red wine together, the time when we kayaking at took photos at the boat there at Sematan beach, and the time we sleep at night where we all hugs together and doing mask together after BBQ. It just so fun, so nice!!! And Ivan make even made a simple video for it before he and Kenny back to JB.
