SIBU: For happy homeowner Suryati Ismail, celebrating Hari Raya at her new home in SibuJaya, was a dream come true.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we bought the house last year, we were excited about the prospect of celebrating at our beautiful new home in SibuJaya, and we started planning and decorating,\u201d she said during her Raya open house on Sunday.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cAnd the fruits of our labour are now for all to enjoy,\u201d she added, as she went about serving her guests at her Pearl Avenue corner unit home.<\/p>\n

Reflecting on the decision to purchase a home in SibuJaya instead of old Sibu Town, she said it was a practical and sensible move.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cI would never have gotten such a house in the old town at this price,\u201d she said, referring to both the build-up space and the surrounding compound.<\/p>\n

It made sense for her to use the savings from purchasing a home in SibuJaya for decorating her new home.<\/p>\n

Suryati also knew that the booming township offered her the opportunity to start her own caf\u00e9 business.<\/p>\n

\u201cI rented a corner unit and opened up Razz\u2019s Caf\u00e9 SibuJaya last year and business has been good,\u201d she enthused.<\/p>\n

She said with hard work and determination, anyone could make a living for themselves and not have to rely on others.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband was worried about the hours I would have to put in to make both my business and our home a success,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut I told him, without hard work, success will not come and I promised him I will not moan about the hours,\u201d she added with a laugh.<\/p>\n

Today, the caf\u00e9 has branched out into catering as well and serves all kinds of halal food.<\/p>\n

Suryati could also lay claim to having served the Malaysian Prime Minister and his entourage personally at an event near SibuJaya last year.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mustered up the courage and I knew if I prepared well and conducted myself professionally, everything would go smoothly,\u201d she recounted about her initial nervousness when securing the catering contract.<\/p>\n

Her story typically reflects the success stories of many of SibuJaya\u2019s inhabitants who ventured out of their comfort zone at the old part of Sibu Town to start a new life in this township which has grown by leaps and bounds over the last 20 years.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
