"Hujan rintis-rintis, air bergelora, mak bangun pagi siram pokok bunga..."
Okay, that's all I can sing. What on earth my mom has to wake up early in the morning, just to splash some water on her flower pots while hujan is already turun?
Now, back to the root of the story.
Heading to Lundu. I saw a magnificent banjaran, 7 in the morning |
So we bangun so early in the morning before Subuh. You know Subuh at Kuching? Around 5:30 a.m. The exact time you want your bed and pillow so badly. Before 6, we moved slowly on the road. The weather was a bit grim, the clouds are all pregnant by water. Uh, my words sounds weird.
Getting near to the crossroad of Lundu and Sematan.That is Gunung Gading if I'm not mistaken |
No. I didn't sleep. My pop's car moved so fast I thought I'm on the camel's back. So I stay awake, watching Matang, Serapi, Malay villages I didn't know the name, some roads I didn't know where. All I know was I saw Bau area. Yeah, infant~ We're at the Golden Town now. You know what's the best at Bau? Caves, caves, caves! Plus, the blue lake, I forgot that one.
After Bau, we're heading to Lundu. Lundu is the right place if you want to see bunga rafflesia, the biggest flower on earth. There's a lovely mountain called Gunung Gading. For those who dreamed to go to university, climb that mountain. In Malay language, people often said that a person who managed to further the study is like 'melanjutkan pelajaran ke menara gading.' Although there's no tower at there, yeah, you won't loss a thing to climb there, right? I went there, I climb the mountain and now I'm a graduate person who still wandering like a ghost. Oh my life is full of awesomeness~
After an hour and a half on the road, we're heading to the crossroad- Lundu 3 km to the
right and Sematan many kilometers to the left. During rambutan season, this is the best road to cuci your eyes and hoping for those fruit will fly and drop on your lap. But during this month, no fruits to crave. It was all empty trees.
Sematan market, a place to buy seafood, local products or sea-shell decoration |
Later on, under the sizzling rain, the most ideal day to go here (because I don't want to smell my own burning skin under the sunlight), we arrived at Sematan at 07:45 a.m. As a local tourist, I did like other people. I walked around, I took pictures, I ate nasi putih with sotong kuning and kerapen masak hitam (ask me later if you didn't know what is that), I enjoyed the view and at the end, I gave comments in my blog (yes~). Three words to describe:
AWE-SOME-NESS
Oh, let me tell you some good story about Sematan.
The beautiful tanjung and beting pasir we saw at Sematan jetty |
delicious tembikai we bought at Sematan |
If you come here one day, I love to say- Selamat berkunjung!
