Going Back to My Roots

FINALLY!!! I get to go somewhere during the school holidays.. I wasn’t expecting a trip to Sibu and Kapit after being told by mum that we were not going anywhere as we have already gone to Penang and Terengganu in August. So, this was quite a surprise. My grandparents were originally from Sibu & Kapit so it was good to see how those places are like.
I was excited to go to Kapit and Sibu coz I have never been there in my life.. So this was my chance. In Sibu, we (me, grandma, Aunty Jac, Nat & Fi) spent our time strolling thru the town, visiting grandma’s old friends , shopping & eating. The next day we woke up early and ate a big breakfast at our hotel before going to the wharf to board the express boat to go to Kapit. After 3 hours travelling upstream on the mighty Rajang river, we finally reached Kapit.
We were warmly welcomed by our relatives. After that, we went to the inn which was just across the road. It belongs to Uncle Paul .We unpacked and got ready to go for dinner in a restaurant with everyone. We had a DELICIOUS meal and then went for a ride up to the mountains in Uncle Paul’s car. We opened the sunroof and stood up with the cold wind flying in our faces. We also visited Uncle David’s sports shop.

The following day, after breakfast we went around Kapit. Kapit is actually a nice town …especially around the mountains where the air becomes colder as we go up higher.

At noon, we were all packed and ready to go back to Sibu with the express boat again. I just wanna say a BIG thank you to everyone in Kapit for making me feel at home.
