Over last weekend (Part A)

This is a late post i know. It's from 31 Dec 2006 to 1 Jan 2007. Nevertheless, join me on the trip to Sematan Palm Beach Resort, which is located approximately 110km from Kuching and also Wind Cave in Bau.For your information, this road trip to Sematan will take about 1.5 hours. Buckle your seatbelt and here we set off.

Allow me to be a thumbs-up tour guide by explaining to you where Sematan and Bau are located geographically.


Sematan, facing South China Sea & Bau is more towards inland area

Please bear in mind that countries on Equator are having their monsoon season in the last quarter of the year so tides and weather are affected tremendously around this time of the year.

Palm Beach Resort is located right alongside the shoreline in Sematan facing the South China Sea. That means by looking out to the sea direction, you know there are sharks out there and in there somewhere. So no play play. Dont risk your life for the sake of swimming fun. At least I know i would not do that because i have phobia getting in sea water. Water splashing near the coastline is fine.

Talking about the resort itself, it's a small and well-maintained/managed getaway for short breaks. It has heaps of rooms to accomodate visitors ranging from 4 to 6 persons per villa. Something good doesn't come cheap. We paid approximately RM500 for a 6 people villa for one night with buffet dinner & brekkie inclusive.

It was supposed to be interesting 'cuz there were some special events organized for the last day of the year; lucky draws, rock wall climbing, dancing and count down for 2007. However, the weather did not allow any of those activities to be carried out smoothly as the venue is in open air. We only managed to join the crowd cheering while participants used up their stamina at wall climbing on a rainy night. Right after the game, we had to hid ourselves under roof for lucky draws. Sadly enough, we were not a bit near the luck to win home any prizes. Rather, we (me,hubby,our cousin & 2 of our friends) enjoyed ourselves more in our room.



What are u thinking?

Newbie of Uno, me, kept winning for the rest of the night. Thus, i ended up taking photos of nothing and everything. Ha ha!

There really wasn't much to do when it was pouring like crazy outside and we being trapped in a small hut-like villa. We ended up greeting among ourselves happy new year and off we went to bed having that last tiny bit of hope to dream of winning lucky draw this time. One thing we sure know is 2007 is gonna be a great year ahead with lots of love and full of hope. We are looking forward to live it to the fullest.
