Christmas is a lovely season in Sibu. People take time to rejoice and be merry.Borneotip reminded me of the Christmas trees behind Wisma Sanyan. Christmas trees always cheer me up so off I went.

I went with Ah Tuong.

Christmas was very much in the air. Even the dove of peace had descended upon Sibu.

Mr Penguin was quick to wish us Merry Christmas too. But of course you need to understand penguin language like we do :)

    Beng,
    I was in Sibu on Saturday evening for few hours before proceed to Kuching late evening.Have chance to pass Sanyan building & I saw “Christmas Tree is falling down”.Perhaps due to heavy thunder storm that evening..
    It’s seem that Sibu people enjoy the christmas shopping as the town is crowded.

    it must have fallen down after we left the place.
