Sisterly Bond

.
There are five of us girls in the family. I am the fourth. I have always wanted a brother... seeing Bernie having a wonderful brother like Henry (the Malaysian siblings in The Amazing Race Asia 3) made me envious of her having a caring and loving brother like him :D

Anyway, today is my eldest sis birthday. So, happy birthday to you, kakak ku!! You have been nothing but supportive and loving towards me. Sori kio I didn't send anything... but I'm coming home for the holidays soon so maybe I have something for you... hehe. Here's a great big huge hug from me to you! :D

Picture taken with my eldest sis, I was probably 6 months old (circa 1972)

Growing up with 4 sisters, there are bound to be some misunderstandings along the way. I admit I wasn't an angel (but I wasn't a devil either... I think) when I was in my teens. I remember an incident years back, I was probably in primary 4 or 5 where I had a fight with her at the bus stop opposite our house. I don't know what we argued about, but it must be something huge cos I ended up pushing her from the bus stop down to the ditch below! I know, I was mean... I'm sorry sis :( I really am. I can't help but laugh whenever I think of that incident though... hehe

There were a couple of other misunderstandings but they're too personal to be written here. I apologize from the bottom of my heart if I have hurt your feelings. I was naive and sometimes I didn't think before I spoke. I have learned to accept everyone irrespective of their flaws because they are a part of the family. And I have long since discarded being judgmental. You learn from life and life goes on...

My eldest sis is 10 years older than me but she's cool and sporting. Thank you sis for being my chocolate supplier and giving me pocket money all those years. She makes me laugh especially when we reminisce about stuff and the old times. In fact, my 3rd sister also makes me laugh, she's sort of like the clown in the family... animated when she tells a story :) I loved the way when she mimics Datuk Pairin's style of the sumazau... hahaha. I must mention 'nasi lemak buah bidara' too... (it's a long story, you just gotta be there). Oh dear, I miss you guys very much :*(

My 2nd sister is the serious of all my sisters but I know she means well... and the youngest sister, well, we still treat her like the baby in the family. A privilege for being the youngest. It's sad that she lives so bloody far away from us... but we do get to see her once in two years so it's not so bad la. The best thing is getting the ole-ole and barangan yang diperturunkan (hand-me-down)! I always look forward to that... just kidding sis! :D

OK, I hope my sisters won't mind that I wrote these in my blog. You guys can bash me when I come home, just don't bash me too much ah! LOL!

Once again, happy birthday sis. May the Lord bless you and keep you safe always. Muah!
