A moment with the cruise along the longest river in Malaysia

It is my dream to be on cruise since my childhood!! As far as result is concern, dream just like planning but weather you will achieve the result is another issue that we have to tackle. Sometime we could not believe that our dreams can be realize overnight even though we plan it for certain years.

Opportunity to be on board with the first international cruise along the longest river in Malaysia, The Mighty Rajang River has created another interesting chapter in my life. This is my first trip to be on board of cruise, few days before the cruise I keep asking my self what I am going to do within 9 days 8 night cruises. As a local boy who have never been to any cruise in the earth, I just another “slumdog boy”??? Something is very new in my life but I always ready for the new challenge in my life. Looking forward for the journey……

The day I on board the cruise I felt that…here I am and I have a task to do, never forget that. I know that my journey will be mixed up with many “things”. I try to study the whole tour programs. I have set my mind and put priority of my task why I was on board. It is really helped. Discipline has guided me a lots.

Back to the journey, I felt that something different that I have thought before. It is totally different from what I have heard and what people have asked me.
“What are you going to do during 9 days and 8 night”, a friend of mine asking me. I cannot answer their question. I have to be frank with them that I don’t know what I am going to do during the journey.

But after few days on the cruise I can see the answer. I fall back to tourism concept, see things from tourist point of view or in short put yourself in tourist shoes. Yup, I get it. This cruise have very good point why they choose Rajang River, they know what they have plenty of programs that they can do. I have study their first program from their first trip and it is different from what I am going to experience.

The journey has thought me lots of knowledge about tourism market, something I will treasure whole of my life. Overall I really enjoy the trips very much it is totally different from what I have imagine and what I heard from other people. Seeing and experience it will tell you the truth……
