Proud to be a Sibu'rian

Coming back to Sibu is always a good thing, especially when you know it's ur hometown and that you know every single corner of roads in this relatively small city.

But one of the many things which make Sibu people outclassing other dialectic communities is of its distinctive Foochow dialect. No matter where you go about Sibu, this Foochow dialect is easily heard and recognized. One can certainly say that in Sibu, no Foochow language, no business. Of course, it's a joke. But in a more foreign place like Kuala Lumpur, it is observably difficult to find Sibu people. If you do find one, you can hear them miles away, coz they will be yelling and talking so loudly as if they are the MPs.

In LCCT for example today, you can't help but realize how many Foochow people they are in the terminal leaving back home. Since Sibu is a Foochow place, it is not surprise to find Foochow people in te departure terminal. Yet, the feeling of hearing people speaking Foochow is definitely exciting for you know you will be home in another 2 hours time. There you see young and old folks chit-chatting their time off, complaining the number of chicken going missing in the backyard.


One more thing that makes Sibu people outclassing other chinese communities is of its kiasuness. Boy, you cannot imagine what happened today at the departure gate. My flight schedule was postponed to 6.45 from 6.15. Yet, around 6.20, you just saw one group of people standing up and started lining in front of the gate. What followed next was a whole bunch of 20-25 people following what the earlier did. They too started lining up behind this one group of people. One of the ground crews immediately came forward and kindly informed this lining-up people that the plane had not arrived yet, and so, they should just sit down and wait for further instruction.

But nobody sat!!!

5 minutes later (6.30pm), an announcement came to ask the people to sit down and wait. Even so, more people joined in queue.

i was truly astonished by their attitudes. no comment.

Wooww... i could not believe how anxious or nervous our 'Sibu'rian people are to want to aboard the flight so eagerly. Neither do i want to be judgmental, i just wanna say i am proud to be a 'Sibu'rian though i might not be a part of these people.
