The landmark for the Sibu is swam so when I knew that the mascot for “Visit Sibu Year 2017” is a crocodile which made me curious and tried find some information about it.

The mascot for the Visit Sibu Year 2017, BUBU was unveiled for the first time, a crocodile that symbolizes a warrior welcoming visitors to Sibu. The mascot’s name is an abbreviation of “Bujang Sibu”, derived from the name of legendary Sarawakian crocodile Bujang Senang- Sarawak Tourism

On the way to Suria Sabah, I saw that beside of Jesselton Point has a new shopping mall which still under construction. Perhaps next time to Kota Kinabalu, the mall is done and can pay a visit.

This was my first time to visit library in Suria Sabah (Level 4). The library is not too big with limited table and seat. The books are arranged according to the categories and 3 languages (English, Malay and Chinese) of books put in same categories on the rack.

Inside library has kids’ corner which need to take off your shoes before step into. As the time I spent inside library is no longer so I chose to read a comic book. Beside of me has two Malay girls who doing their Science assignment which was drawing the organ.
