Character: Greg (me myslef alone)

I just came back from sibu yesterday. I know it was a sudden decision, last moment thing. Cause last last week my grandparents came out to kuching to do some eye operation procedure, so my grandme asked me to follow them back to Sibu to go play play, after several persuation, I decided to just give it a go.  haha so here's wad i did the whole week...

The boat trip

So wednesday morning, my dad sent us (me, yima, grandma, grandpa) to the wharf. Bought the tickets few days a day b4, so we went in the express boat directly and waited for a while b4 the boat depart. So the whole boat trip was kinnda fun but boring at the same time cause we need to sit in there for 5hours like tat, in between we stop by Tanjung Manis, and Sarikei for old passengers to get out, and new ones came in. There was a TV inside there for us to watch movies to get pass our boredome, watch 3 movies all related to apes...haha cause the DVD is a collectionn of ape movies... Inside is really comfortable and it looks quite similar to a aeroplane actually... nice... and one thing I find very interestin is that the crews sell junk food and can drinks to the passengers, carried in 2 baskets walking here and there... haha~ cool

I also walk to the back of the boat to see the nice water view... hot weather and i hate it outside cause people smokes outside, al the smoke trapped and i fell like chokinng =.= xian

Overall, it's a memorable nice experience.

The House

I stayed at uncle Matthew's house in sibu. His house was so stunning, the minute i reached his house I was like o.o, 0.0, o.0, 0.o.......It was a double story house( corner house)  the exterior and interior were mesmerizing. I shared room with my aunt- 'YIMA' whereas my grandparents shared another room. Uncle had a dog but don hav name wan.. cute but keep barking~ so don like it sometimes...haha Wathced my clothes with their extra big washing machines almost everyday~ Ate food with their restaurant like table( it has the round thing in the middle for spinning food ) They are vegeterian, so every meal is vege and fake meat- not too bad actually cause i love those fake meats too taste like real oso ma.. I won be one for sure lor hmmmm they orderd the outside food (in metal containers) and aunty Joyce would cook additional 3-4 more dish for the big family(6 famaily members, 3 elders and me) As for cleaning up, I would always bath using their bathroom on the lower floor, oh yeah... they have 3 bathrooms 2 for guest, 1 for themselve more than enough- nice I would watch their TV sometimes when im bored, they have a china satelite thingy better than astro i think lots of channel to see, took me around 20-30 minutes to browse though one whole round of channels. My cousins would play the computer games on weekends whereas the adults play mahjong there lor... as usual... foochow habit ma:P still same wan lah and heir cupboard are always filled with junk food in plastics container, i think its those CNY left overs lah... The Kitchen is kinnda small but its ok. I love the exterior of their house, big compound  space, nice views cause it's cornerP :) I would also go to a nearby unwanted playground with my cousins. Looks like its still under development or maybe not... don look too gud, well... at least its got a swing, monkey bar and see-saw... 

Syarikat Lung Kee

Its my grandma's shop where I spent most of my time in Sibu. My grandparents would open their shop in the morning 7pm and close on 5pm. My grandparents are already 70+ and they are still working, really admire them- my other uncle -  Uncle David helpes them out along with another worker-Junik. I would just walk around and sit here and there inside and outside of the office, see if theres anythikng i can help... like simple carrying and sweeping floor like tat nia... not much i can help actually so its rather boring modt of the time. They have a thin ginger cat which is the opposite to cody (the fat ginger car) Cockroaches- the insect i hate and fear most could be easily found in the shop. I learn to overcome this fear gradually, as i even dare to go hunt them down. I dare not say im not affraid of cockroaches at all, but at least im not tat scared of them anymore... haha So, every morning yima would bring to eat breakfast at a coffee shop, as for lunch- I eat 'tapau' food from a vegeterian economic food store situated not far from the shop in the office with my grandparents. I enjoyed the 'hu nan' and 'bai guo gan' which sibu is famous for (foochow delecacies)

Outing

Oh yeah... this is the part I enjoyed the most in Sibu. Shopping and side viewing. Almost everyone gave me pocket money to s[ent while I was there... and did not spent all of them. Collected around RM300+ leh alltogether.... hahaha Some days I would walk to the sibu's 'PASAR'. It was quite huge unexpectedtly as my parents always say how sibu was... don think its tat small~ walk walk around the town somedays, buy food and accessories which are incredibly cheap... love sibu so much for selling cheap quality things... hahaha The town was nice, i kept taking photos of the town, walking by my self alone in a new town is really a great expericence- and yeah without a map.. haha Love it so much- turning to every side -- another new place, another new view I never seen--- oh yeah... One of the most memorable moments was the market in Sibu. it was the largest market I ever seen in my life... I was just like OMG... woooow- the place was so so so huge... I just walk walk and see see all the stalls there like a tourist... jus junkfood stalls alone there are like 20-30 stalls already... my eyes also  all see till blur blur liao... its like a paradise to me... hehe cause I love junkfood-haha Upstairs, its like a gigantic food court where they are many food stalls selling al sorts of delicasies there are also shops selling cloths and accessories on the other end... wad a market... hahaha Some of the shopping centre I went- premier, sanyan, delta mall, singkwong, and hwa lee. Enjoying shopping jus like a gal... haha Differerent Uncle and Aunty would bring me out every nite go eat eat and shopping... 

Conclusion
