Chinese New Year Outing

Short Visit to Sematan and Lundu

Took a short drive to the tip of Sarawak, Sematan.

The last time we were here was back in 2017, more than 4 years ago.

The Pan Borneo Highway is still under construction, to be upgraded to a two-lane dual carriageway. Lots of diversions along the way but bearable.

Another stretch of the Pan Borneo Highway.

At the river mouth near Sematan - Sg. Serayan Besar.

On our way to Pantai Pugu (Pugu Beach), we decided to take the short cut via the oil palm plantation. Took the wrong turn and lost our way for a while.

Road to Pugu Beach, completed not long ago starts from Jalan Pantai Pandan to Kampung Belungei. Very quite with little traffic.

Direction to Pugu Beach at Kampung Pugu. Pugu Beach is about 8 km long from Bukit Gondol.

One of the resort/camping ground, privately operated at Pugu Beach. Didn't check so not sure about the entrance fee or other charges.

Some of the huts at the resort, very tempting but maybe some other day.

Wire Wrapped Coin and Baroque Earrings

Iridescent Baroque and Coin Pearl Earrings

These pairs of dangle pearl earrings are just so pretty.

Even prettier with the iridescent.

The pearl measures more than 1 cm each.

This is my first time using vacuum plated stainless steel wire hooks and ball head pins - in gold tone.

Unlike traditional plating, vacuum plated last longer and more durable - i.e. the gold tone will not tarnish or wear off that easily for few years. 

Cleaning them is easy - just use water with household soap or detergent.

Avoid cleaning with products containing caustic agents or chemical to remove tarnish or rust.

Iridescent baroque - even prettier under the morning sunlight

Close up of the iridescent pearls

Simply irresistible iridescent baroque pearls

Both pearls has the iridescent but the dark one is clearer

Holding them in my palm so you can gauge the size of the pearls

Have a great Sunday, stay safe everyone.
