As soon as I and Rebecca arrived to
our cabins in magnificent cruise ship, named Mariner of the Seas, which is
operated by the outstanding Royal Caribbean Company and is anchored in the port
of Singapore, we agreed that each of us would enter to the cabin to arrange our
luggage, and then to go out on surface of the ship as soon as she leaves the
harbor.
My father had arranged this trip for
me and my sisters in the middle of the school year, due to Rebecca’s'
persistence who wanted to experience a cruise ship. She felt very happy when my
father asked me to accompany her, after he has arranged for us all bookings,
and chose us this trip, which starts from Singapore heading to Malaysia and then
anchoring in Port Klang and then Penang Island port, after which it will head
to Phuket Island in Thailand, and then it will move back to Singapore, so we
can travel back home by plane.
After that we spent two days in
Singapore, everything wonderful country, and which can be considered as the
most beautiful trade center in the world. In Singapore, you can find clean
streets, skyscrapers, high towers, multiple brands in shopping malls, beautiful
waterways, massive human waves of multi-ethnic individuals struggling in small
square of this country in a tolerant atmosphere that respects the law, and so we
got on board the ship.
I felt the movement of the ship while
I was in the cabin, and I went to the balcony and made sure that we actually
started sailing. I went out of the cabin along with my camera, and knocked on
the door of Rebecca's cabin, who was ready to go up to the surface, which we
agreed upon. We took the stairs and not the elevator, because our cabins were
two floors away from the surface of the ship and we found most of the
passengers crowded on the wall of the ship taking photos, focusing their
attention on the Singapore port, which take away little by little, and I and
Rebecca had to do the same as all passengers did.
After half an hour, the crowd on the
surface of the ship became less and Singapore port looked too small, then Rebecca
and I decided to go down and wander around the ship. At that moment, we found
Nicolas Cage standing against the wall of the ship in front of us, in a remote
corner, who was looking in the direction of the port, wearing light shoes, a
silk T-shirt in quiet colors, jeans, as well as sunglasses that barely covered
half of his face, as he was hiding from fans
who certainly would spoil his recreational trip that he tries to enjoy.
It turns out he was taking several days out of his busy work schedule which
looked like similar to wheel that move without stopping, producing many wonderful
movies which fascinated all of us, and as soon as Rebecca became aware of
Nicolas Cage, so she moved towards him and I was walking behind her and she
said:
-
"Hello, Nicolas"
-
"Hello."
-
"I'm Rebecca and this is my brother
Robert."
-
"You are welcome. It is nice to meet
you."
-
"It is nice to meet you too."
Then Rebecca started asking him many questions, which
she used to ask ever since I was small boy.
-
"Nicolas, how can you get enough time act in
four movies or more in one year?" Rebecca asked.
-
"The time that I have is just like you have,
young lady, the difference is that I mastered time management and exploitation
considerably." Nicolas said.
-
"I don't think that time management enables
anyone to achieve what you do, Nicolas". Rebecca said.
-
Yes, Rebecca, this is possible if you have
someone to help you and share your success. If you hold a great position, you
will realize what I mean.
-
But….
-
"Forgive me for interrupting you, but the
talk in this aspect may take long time, and I have organized a timetable to
relax in this trip, and this is time management as I told you.'' He smiled and
said, "Will you excuse me?"
-
Rebecca and I said, "Certainly."
Nicolas Cage left and Rebecca and I
stayed on the deck, and she started talking to me about the distinctive
character that Nicholas has, and I was busy imagining how much excitement could
be obtained from his rich knowledge of the detective novels police, as I
wondered to myself, "Will I experience his experiences one day?"
"Of course, what I mean is not acting, but the excitement of police
atmosphere", and I said to myself: "Why not?" I love adventure and solving mysteries, even though I had
not experienced one of them so far. My friend Fahad may help me as a good
partner in solving mysteries and crimes successfully that I wish to go through in
one way or another.
