Hometown

So, I'm currently bumming around my hometown, Sibu (a small town in the middle of Sarawak) for my holiday. It's kinda sad that I'm stuck here and not travelling the world -_-

Anyhow, I had decided to take some photos around my hometown cuz that's how bored I am. Seriously, been doing nothing except staring at screens the whole day at home (including computer and tv screens).

Here we have the tallest building in the state of Sarawak named Wisma Sanyan. Honestly, the outer design looks more magnificent than the interior. The building is separated into a shopping mall for the lower 4 floors whereas the rest are offices. Nonetheless, it is the first thing that you would notice when you look out from the plane if you ever stopped by in Sibu.

This picture overlooks a part of Sibu with some added effect. I was eating in a restaurant in Wisma Sanyan when I noticed the nice effect created by the lights in the restaurant on the window panels. After some editing, it looks as though the sky is filled with giant orange lanterns.

This panoramic view of downtown Sibu offers a sense of history as these buildings were here since the first settlement. Though they were painted over due to colour fading, the structures were retained and this kinda make the town a living museum. Everything is vintage and it's a great place for photography.

Last but obviously not least, a selfie of my LEGO self in front of the Wisma Sanyan :D
