We have to thank many generous friends who took care of our accommodation and transport, brotherly and sisterly love showered upon us and food and food and food and food and more food throughout our stay.
Thank you is not enough to express our gratitude especially to Peter and Linda for their generosity and kindness.
Jackie whom I knew since 1990 as a young green horn, and now a father of 3 children, took few days of leave to accompany us and chauffeured us throughout our stay in Sibu.
Thank You to Alice and parents, Fr. Tham, Paul and his wife Xiu Xiang ... all of them had shown us the true meaning of love and making our holiday more fulfilling.
Thanks to William Ngu, Philip Kong and Linda Su. They have taken time out to be with us whenever they can.
Not forgetting my Sibu brother Joseph Wong and wife Rose, who arranged and planned my tour.
One of the high points of our visit was the trip to Kapit ... our heart felt thanks to Fr. Fabian and his parishioners for the warm welcome extended to us. I am sure all of us, including little Marcus, would not forget this wonderful journey and warm stay in Kapit.
Mrs Lee (Chan Siew Fong), daughter-in-law and grandson Marcus thoroughly enjoyed the trip very much. They are not Christian but went along with our itinerary including visiting churches and prayer rites.
On the morning before going to airport, Joseph and William Ngu brought us out for breakfast and a little sightseeing.
I was heart-broken seeing the reclamation at the bank of Igan river. The river has been narrowed in order to gain valuable commercial land.
Generations to come would suffer because of the greed of this generation.
Goodbye Sibu, goodbye Rajang river, goodbye Igan river ....
I heard you crying ... for greedy mankind ....
这是一个难忘的假期。
感谢好多的朋友，照顾了我们的住宿及交通，兄弟姐妹的亲切照顾，整个假期的吃，吃，吃，吃。。。。吃不完的美食。
一声谢谢是不足够对Peter 及Linda 夫妇给我们的一切慷慨及温馨的接待。
在1990年认识时还是个羞涩青年的冉颖（Jackie），现在已是三个孩子的“孝顺”爸爸，特地请假接待及全陪我们。
谭神父，爱丽丝Alice 及父母的热情接待，仁忠夫妇的欢迎，都使到我们的假期倍增难忘。
祖厚及昌春也抽空到来相见，让我们的假期更充实。
更不用说我的诗巫“布拉打” （兄弟） 黄禄声及太太丽馨，他们安排及照顾了我们的整个行程。
这趟诗巫之旅的高潮之一，是到加帛一游。衷心的感谢加帛圣母污染原罪副本堂，宗欢神父及该地的教友们，他们热情的欢迎我们进入他们的团体，让我们参与及体验当地华语教友团体的活动及团体的活力。这是个难忘的旅程。
与我们同行的李太太(Auntie Lee)，媳妇慧仪及孙子翊铭(Marcus)，都有个美丽的快乐时光。他们不是基督徒，而且还有小孩同行，但都尽量配合我们的行程，包括教会地点。他们也很高兴的领受住宿在加帛神父楼的体验。
在离开诗巫的那天早上，乘着还有时间，我们参观了刘钦候医院博物馆及拉让与依干两江的汇合口。
我见到了大自然的破坏，感到心痛及悲伤。
政府以填土方式，在依干江畔“制造”更多商业土地，也因而缩小了江河的宽度。这种破坏大自然的贪婪行动，将贻害后代，确实可悲！
再见我喜欢的诗巫，再见拉让河，再见依干江。。。。。
我听到你们的哭泣，那是为了我们的贪婪。。。
