Sarawak Working trip

Just came back from Miri and Sibu, Sarawak. It was great to have been in the biggest state in Malaysia. The trip there is for MAGGI MIDI launch at Sarawak. It's similiar with the Penang one. The launch is at Sibu but we went to Miri first for market work. Miri is somehwhere near to Brunei and the market is growing very fast. It was great to see the visibility at Miri and the dealer had done a very good job there.

Then we travel to Sibu the next day for the launch. Stayed at a hotel near the Rajang River which is the longest river in Malaysia. The launch was great as we had alot of lerning from the Penang launch. The business review earlier also generate lots of idea to grow the MAGGI product there.

We had a flight delay on our flight back to KL and it was fun although tiring spending time waiting for our delayed flight. Had nice chat with the team members.

On the flight back to KL i was seated near the window. Looking out the window at night flight was great. looking up you can see stars shining and looking down you can also see light from highway and houses. It's like you are in the middle of two world. We can always imagine how it would be like looking at the stars above but have never imagine that we could be stars to other also if you are looking from above. Overall it ws a great trip getting to know the business more.
