Sibu Trip

LadyJenn & I left Kuching in the wee hours of the morning on Sat. 6th of Feb.
We only stop to refuel in Sri Aman after 7am, had a light breakfast before heading out towards Sibu.

We arrived after 9:30, and joined Uncle Dr. Johnny Kieh & fellow Blogger “ApaiEnduq” Alexander Anthony Banyan opposite Lee Hua Hotel for some noodles.
(They say it’s amongst the Best Noodle around, and I’m not complaining one bit!)

We soon left the coffee shop going to Auntie Margaret Jara Banyan’s house to deliver her Saga BLM. (Auntie Margaret is “Apai Enduq’s eldest sister)




I was surprised as most of their relatives are from my area, Ulu Rimbas & Saratok.
How I wish for my dad to be around because he knows much more about our “Family Tree.”

We were served with more food as it was already past 12 in the afternoon. We exchanged stories with their guests and after 2am, “Apai Enduq” sent us to our Hotel Medan, quite near to the Bus Terminal where we got ourselves a room. (It’s reasonably priced at RM75/- for a night stay)

After 4:45pm Anthony Jiram AKA Gerama Engkabang (one of Ruaikitai’s Moderators) came and invited us to his house for a BBQ. We stayed there until 6:45pm before we joined Cr. Kelvin Ensan’s Engagement Dinner reception at “Good Happiness Restaurant” not far from where we stay. (A 5 minutes’ walk from our Hotel)

Unfortunately, I (we) can’t stay too long as I was down with a “flu and runny nose” and left well ahead as the party was supposed to end at 11pm.

CONGRATULATIONS on your Engagement to “Dom” Kelvin and Elebert, and Thank You for inviting us. It’s our pleasure being there to share both your happiness and we pray our Lord will continue to bless the both of you.

The rest of the remaining hours were spent inside our Hotel room, what a spoilt day at the end of a beautiful day.

I must apologise to Uchu_Andam & Ingai Bujang Berani (both members of Ruaikitai) as I can’t come to the ‘gathering” with members of RK Sibu, but on my return trip sometime in March, we will work something out.

Here are some of the pictures I took during our 1 day journey to Sibu.

We left Sibu at 10am on Sunday and arrived in Kuching before 5pm.
