how i met X: part 1

                 it was the third or the fourth or the fifth or the sixth time i have been to the island, penang, im not very sure, most of my trip to penang island was during my school days. this time, i got the chance to go to penang island to visit my aunt and uncle, and their beautiful trio of daughters. the trip was fun, it was okay. the best thing that happens on this trip was when i was on my way back to mainland penang from penang island via ferry, i met X.

                it was very calm at the ferry terminal. everybody was waiting, i was waiting, some were blonds, others, blacks. some were pale skinned blue eyed tourist, while a bunch of others, were tanned skinned, dark eyed local. i was thinking about talking to some of the blonds there, but i dont think it was the best time to talk to people, they seemed so unease, i’ll wait till we get on the ferry, with the sea breeze, the ocean waves and all, that ‘ill be a good thing when people chat over things.

                we boarded the ferry, some sat on the wooden bench, some take a look around, for a view of the sea, the port, the people. i was beginning to calculate my next move, trying to talk to a cute girl sitting next to me when i saw her, i saw X, of course, at this point, i didnt know her name yet. she went to this side of the ferry, then to the otherside of the ferry, holding a digicam with her, recording the view as she pleased. she walks with such elegance and pride that i felt overpowered just by seeing her. she got this vibe that tells everyone that watches her, that she's not local, not a malaysian, no, and not just a tourist, she's an original traveller. i recognized her, i saw her earlier, before i reached the ferry terminal, but i’ll tell this one later.

                soon, i realised that i must talk to her, i feel that all the western and european backpackers there on the ferry are nothing compared to her. i got up and asked the cute girl sitting next to me to keep my bags company for a while. before i saw X on the ferry, i kept thinking about asking the cute girl her number but i resisted from doing so, she's just an ordinary cute girl, so i’d go for the slightly mature woman who seems to be very intelligent, X. i went to this little stall there to buy a bottle of water, and made my way to X.
