Kisah 6 tahun dulu

Suatu hari dari 7 hari di Langkawi...

Aku: Mr. Mark... how do you end up here in Malaysia?

Mr. Mark: Well I've been travelling the world with my yard since I first bought it when I was 24...

Aku: How old are you now?

Mr. Mark: 26

Aku: So you spent 2 years travelling the world... wow... I'm sure you've been to a lot of cool places... but it must be lonely travelling alone...

Mr. Mark: Nope... not alone... I sat sail from Perth with my Girlfriend... Yeah... we've been around... Dubai, Egypt, Vanice, and all over Europe...

Aku: Wow... you must be a rich guy to be able to go places... it must be wonderful to travel around... and its more meaningfull to travel with someone you love...

Mr. Mark: Yeah... and No... I'm not a rich guy... I bought the yard from a friend... I fix it up good and decide to travel the seven seas...

Aku: What do you do for money? don't mind me asking...

Mr.Mark: Owh.. no.. not at all... I work... took any job that I could find... just like right now... and when we have enough money.. we travel to some place else...

Aku: I adore and envy you... you get to go places where I could only look at in pictures... one day... I want to be just like you...

Mr.Mark: hoho... you can my boy... but first you need to know your place...

Aku: My place? what do you mean?

Mr. Mark: To travel somewhere... you need to bring something from home... it doesn't mean a 'thing' but knowledge of your home... so that when you travel around and learn about other places, people and their culture.. you need to trade some or yours also... if not.. it would be embarrassing.. wouldn't it?

perbualan itu berakhir dengan Mark melukis peta Australia di permukaan pantai di salah sebuah pulau di Langkawi... die menceritakan tempat2 di Australia... dari malam tu aku berangan2 nak jadi macam die.... mengembara melihat dunia... antara kenangan 7 hari yang aku ingat sampai mati...

mungkin suatu haari nanti aku mampu buat semua tu... tapi mungkin bukan berlayar... aku nak terbang....
