A Day at Sematan 30 Nov 2014

After the church, we went to Sematan by drive. Sematan is a sub-district of Lundu. It is located about 127km or about one and a half hour drive from Kuching.

Sematan faces the South China Sea and is usually used as a base by anglers to go fishing. It have beautiful beaches and vast countryside set against the backdrop of the picturesque Gunung Gading, is perhaps one of the best features of this quiet town.

We stayed at Dynawood Beach Stay. It was recommended by Sis. Agatha. It was sort of a bit difficult to look for as this is our first time here. We have to go through the small kampong lane with cows are just beside the small lane. It was quiet fun too! Just like the adventure and the explorer!

We were so please with the view in front of us during we arrived here, as the Pakcik shown us what sort of accommodation that they have: air-conditioned superior dorm rooms, village tree houses, detached tree houses, and individual Atap house, Bamboo house, Kampong style family room, etc. Eventually, we choose the Atap house, and it is the nearest to the beach front.

After settled our stuffs, we decided that the Pakcik family to cater and cook for us our dinner at night. As for the afternoon lunch, we drove out again to the small Sematan town to hunt for the seafood.

All the seafood was fresh and nice, it is cheaper compared with eating in Kuching of coarse.The town just next to the sea. We can watching out to the sea while having our delicious meals.

There is nothing much at the town, along our way back to Dynawood Beach Stay, we can see there are some resort style or hotel were in the midst of construction. Well, can not deny that this is a nice place to have a short break away.

The children and Daddy quickly changed to their swim suits and ran to the beach, swim and have fun in the sea. I do not join the fun as I don’t feel like swimming. But, was watching them played and I noticed that the sky and the sea are so stunning! We were checking on the fishermen net how was their catch of the day?

Dynawood Beach Stay at Sematan is an ideal place for a short stay.  This is beach front stay. This place can offer all a beach front can offer, such as sand beaches, coconut trees, etc.

It also has a fruit garden and animal farm as well. Guests can see and view anytime and it is free of charge. We went to the animal farm after we got ourselves changed after the swim at the beach. There are monkeys, chickens, ducks, goose, rabbits, cows, iguana, etc..

Dynawood Beach Stay’s heritage environment with “kampong” setting guestrooms are quaint and picturesque. You can’t help but feel your spirits come alive.

The ocean breeze and calming waves set you in the mood for some great holiday and vacation fun. The surrounding environment allows you to be closer to nature and wake up to the peaceful sound of the ocean.

We have our dinner at the small little hut and Makcik served us with white rice, eggs, fried fish with some belacan sambal. It is just a simple meal.

At night, we still can hear the sounds of the ocean waves pounding to the beach. Daddy was struggling whole night as he was bitten by the sand fleas during the afternoon at beach that time.

The night was warm too, as both of us woke u early in the morning to see the sun rise. Unfortunately, the clouds were so thick that we unable to see the sun rise from the horizon of the sea.

We packed our things, have our kampong breakfast then we checked out from Dynawood Beach Stay. It was an enjoyable short trip for us!

LDS Kuching Chapel 30 Nov 2014

This is our first time coming to Kuching Chapel. It is so different! It really looks like a Chapel and Meeting House!

It is so different than what we have here in West Malaysia, all the chapel are either at shop lots, or at the bungalow houses. At East Malaysia, the chapel was built on a proper land and designed prior to construction.

We took only 3 pictures and it is without Daddy

 

Well, we love our church! Wherever we go, we can manage to find a meeting house that nearby. Every meeting house teaching the same doctrines, using same books, either it is for adults, young men, young women, primary children age form 3 up to 12, we have our own Sunday classes to attend.

We feel we are home wherever meeting house we are in! This is one of the countless beautiful things about our church!

Little Princess Annabelle 27 Nov 2014

We went to Subang Parade today. We just window shopping at the Parkson Grand.

Annabelle and I walked by the girls department, we saw displayed girls party dresses. It were so beautiful…

Both of us took one and went to the changing room, and try to put on. She was so happy that she wanted us to buy her the dress.

In the end, we did not buy, but manage to snap some photos on her little princess dress ^^

Issac Birthday 12 Nov 2014

Today is Issac 9 years old birthday. It is considered his first ever great birthday, ever since Daddy and Mummy being marry again. Our family reunited again.

As previous years, Issac and Annabelle took a day off too. Daddy too, on leave. He took both children to the nearby park and play their birthday gifts – roller skateboard.

They spent almost half a day together, went back home for a while then off for Aunty Joyce’s house for the celebration with their friends.

Mummy bought a soccer field cake for him. The colour of the cake was so vibrant and nice. As traditions, I would get the party bags and presents ready for the children.

Sister Joyce was preparing his favourite food, such as Bolognese spaghetti, nuggets, fries, sausages, red colour hard boiled eggs, and some dessert ice creams too.

The children always happy when there is their friends’ birthdays celebrations.

This year a bit different with the previous year because Sister Joyce invited both Elder Stratfold and Elder Jones came to her house and have dinner together.

We had our dinner at the back of the dining room, whereby the children having their party at the living room. It is really so kind of Sister Joyce to have our family and the Elders Missionary for dinner too.

After the dinner, both Elders shared with us some gospel messages as well.

Our family really feel the peace and joy that gospel have bring to our life. It feels great!

I feel so grateful that the Lord lead us all the ways to His only true church on earth.

I feel so bless that we come to know the gospel of Jesus Christ and the restoration of the true church on earth once again.

I know that the Book of Mormon is true and it is the words of God. And, the come forth of the Book Of Mormon was translated through our Prophet Joseph Smith, by the gifts and power of our God.

I know that, our family can be sealed together forever through keep the Commandments and the Ordinances performed in the temple. I know that, we can go back to Heavenly Father again through our Savior, Redeemer Jesus Christ.
