August Update

Back to Sibu in August, leaving home to hometown. There are few significant things that happened this month.

1) Venice de Sibu (Flood)
2) I notice a new Haven

First thing first, first time Sibu got flood in August. It has been raining a few days straight in Sibu (Monday- Wednesday if not mistaken). Not knowing the upper part of Rejang River is raining too. So as usual, Saturday i went to the port to take Express Boat to a place called Kapit. A small town 3 hours boat ride from Sibu. When i reach the dock i noticed the water level of the river higher because the platform to boat is flat. Normally the platform is lower than the terminal which means water lever is low. So i get on to boat and off we go. After 2 hours we pass by Song. A smaller town before Kapit. The part of the terminal was underwater. The water rose so high that we do not have to walk the staircase to the terminal.

The new haven is a place in Kapit. I realise people there are happy. Day to day routine activities. Businessman do business. After evening close shop and relax. For those who is satisfy with these type of lifestyle..its a haven for them. But not for me..hehe....since coming back to Sibu, i felt that i'm getting more and more used to the lifestyle here. Daytime work, night time rest. Still have extra time to exercise. Sure the lifestyle is not as attractive/interesting as in KL. But everything that we made decision, there is an opportunity cost. Just it depends on what we value and what we willing to give up in order to achieve what we want. Bear in mind, i mean in proper ways ya in giving up somethings to achieve somethings. Many business man here taught me, "There Is No Free Lunch in This World. You have to work for it."

Picture beside is the Roti Telur found in Kapit. They say it taste like a type of japanese pancake....crispy and nice..diffferent type of roti telur...i think we won't find it anywhere else.

Short post as busy this month. Actually this post is way due past the month of August. Will keep it up next time. :)
