Sematan Beach Resort

On 26 Aug, we drove to Sematan Beach Resort, 110KM from Kuching city plying Batu Kawa Road. We checked in Palm Beach Resort at 12:30pm. It's a beautiful resort with bluish green sea water and white sand beach. I booked a A-frame chalet at RM280/night. The interior is unique, simple with A frame design. My sons liked the chalet very much because they could climb upstair and look through the window into the blue sea.

A 5 minutes drive away from the resort, here's the Sematan Town. A lot of fishing boats could be seen along the seaside.

It's a new experience for my kids to sleep upstair

Restaurant-we're having our breakfast & dinner here as it's already packaged to the room rate.
Woke up early in the morning to catch the sun-rise at the beach just in front of our room. cool!

Trip to Kuching

I went to Kuching by car from 25-28/2009. The journey to Kuching took 6 hours. On the way, we stopped at Jakal, near Sarikei for breakfast. We visited Jong's Crocodile Farm which is just 18KM away from Kuching. It was fun especially for my kids watching crocodile feeding.

It's refreshing to sit at the waterfront overseeing the giant architecture in the cool evening.

"what happened to your tail"

I stayed at Kuching Park Hotel, Jalan Padungan. The room is big and can accommodate 5 of us comfortably. At 7:30pm, I attended Photographers' Evening Out at Old Court House, near Kuching Waterfront. To my suprise, there were 260 photographers attending the event. The four speakers on stage were Alvin Leong, Saiful Nang, Jason Victor and Brandon Goh. Each of them shared their experiences in wedding photography. The event was covered by RTM crews and would be aired in RTM1.
