Year 1's Sibu Trip (7th -12th May 2008)

Here’s the post for our Sibu Trip. =) Ryan most probably fainted from uploading up the photos! AHAHAHA. (Indeed, Claire.. Enough time to watch the whole LOTR. Try uploading 41 images. T.T)
Our flight was at 0655 hours on 7^th May 2008 for 10 of us. We did not sleep the entire night before. Therefore everyone looked like dead fish while on the plane.

The moment we arrived (9am-ish), John’s and Wilson’s family were already there to pick us up. Sibu people drive really fast. Haha.
Time for breakfast! Wait, scratch that, time for brunch.





After brunch time for some sight seeing!









After numerous sights seeing, we were really tired and it was only 1pm? So we decided to go back and nap. Well, never mind all that, let’s just skip to dinner!









The next day, Wilson went to pick up the second batch from the airport. We waited for them to finish packing and we went to Ing Hou's place to meet up with them.









That was breakfast. =)
There’s just too much food to post.. FOOD FOOD FOOD.









***

A Chinese temple with great history..





This is African Longan, unavailable in KL. So, we’re gonna open an orchard and plant them so we can earn some BIG BUCKS. That was what I planned to do anyways.





Here we are at Bintangor, a small little town outside of Sibu. That bowl is a bowl of prawn noodles. The prawn is as big as your palm. Amazingly nice!





Our breakfast before we left for YMCA for another day of fun in the sun.. Actually, it rained while we were on the way there. Haha.





That would be us at the YMCA river. It’s supposedly isn’t that muddy, but it was raining earlier, therefore, the muddy river.



The temple is considered Malaysia’s BIGGEST Buddhist temple in a few years time. It was humongous.











This is actually public art. It’s a bench, but then it looks like squirrel. There is another that looks like a bunny and another one that I haven’t quite figure out yet.








Dinner again.



Rock Garden. A pond filled with fish and built with a million stairs. However, when we reached the peak, the view was amazing. It was worth every breath climbing up those stairs.







There are just too many photos. These are just some. We had an amazing 6 days there. Highly recommend this place to those who love eating and sight seeing. Don’t expect much from shopping though, their shopping mall only has 3 floors and I don’t think what they sell there is NOT available here in good ol’ KL.
The funniest thing there was, they had roundabouts EVERYWHERE. They even had traffic lights for the U-Turn sign. I personally find that funny. Haha.
The food there is really good, cheap and yummylicious. The air tickets were quite reasonable too. AIR ASIA, NOW EVERYONE CAN FLY.
