The Sibu Experience

The gang from Brunei on a road trip to Sibu (8 hours) and staying over at Premier Hotel, Sibu for two nights. Missing here is our photographer, Reuben.

A road trip to Sibu. There’s always a flight that I could catch to Sibu thru Miri (one hour) or simply go on a road trip if you have tons of hours to spare. I’ve always heard of this town from Sarawak but never had the luxury to visit the town until last weekend. The reason (for the trip) being is toastmasters where we get to learn new things in communication and especially in leadership (motivating and managing conflict).

I have to say it was a great trip and I’m glad I was part of it. I had the chance to expand my network of friends and learning different cultures and experiences. One of the best moments is perhaps where some of them from Sibu will be heading to Brunei in October for the Brunei Conference in October 2016. Sometimes it pays to move forward and be involved in the thick of things.

I shall be posting more about the trip soon but for now, I shall post some pictures. Yes, I haven’t been updating my page for a while but not to worry. I’m still active on social media and hopefully more active on my blog posts 😀 Have a great week, readers!!

The reliable Hyundai H1 carrying 8 of us during the journey. This was a short pitstop at KB Sentral, dining at SugarBun before heading to Miri

The conditions on the road along the way weren’t as favourable and I believe the H1 will need a great service at the workshop 😀 Thanks to drivers – Shawn, Reuben, Allen and Amran

A quick pitstop to sing our hearts out. Pranika slowly getting into the groove of things. More to come.

A surprise anniversary moment for Shawn and Ruey 😀 Happy 11th Anniversary you too

The very much attentive toastmasters from Sibu

I had 5 minutes to share about the upcoming conference in Brunei and I sold a few tickets along the way 😀

Reuben charming the audience and managed to get selfies after the meeting

Allen Ang stole the show for committing to his commitment as a speaker despite many challenges before the session

After the joint meeting, we had a quick pitstop at Hisham and Lydia’s open house in Sibu. Thanks for your hospitality.

The first joint meeting in Sibu with different areas joining as one

It was good to see you again, Pamela.. See you again in Brunei

Pranika still obsessed with filters on her phone *lol*
