O..Brother..!~

Hm...people frequently asked me why the only girl in the family ventures out further than the other boys in her family.. practically separated by the South China Sea..

The only ups in being the only girl in the family is that i get to have a whole new outfit when i was younger... but i liked the hand-me-down clothes from my elder brothers.. i like their big T-shirts and cargo shorts.. i would always get in trouble when they found out i have been wearing their clothes...ehhe... i always felt so cool wearing them... and their friends will know that i'm related to them....

Then one day (circa 2008 CNY), i heard the usual conversation between my mom & a friend....

Friend: "o, she must be pampered by you & the brothers for being the only girl in the family.."
Me (thinking): "No i never was..."
Mom: "no la...we have made sure that she wasn't being pampered earlier on..."
Me (thinking): "See, mom just confirms it..."

Whenever an argument occured between mom & i about how i was never of any help in the house... & she would start comparing me to her other friends' daughter, who was ever so happy helping out with the laundry and cleaning the house... One of my defence was..

" It seems like you only wanted to have me/a daughter so that i can be your Maid..!"
(I know that's not right but that's how i felt...honestly )

" Why am i the only one who has to do it (wash the dishes, do the laundry.).?~~"

"Because you're a girl.." (argh...~~they use this same excuses for lots of thing i have to do and i can't do...i'm really sick of it...)


So now that i am here.. away from them... i kinda miss them.. hehe.. one's married, the other a recluse, the other's in his first relationship with a gurl, n the younger one's in a world of his own...

What bums me the most is that i never get to see them whenever they come to visit (KL).. they never even mentioned that they are coming.. until the last minute that dad called and told me (my own sources)... I expected more from my eldest brother , since we rarely get to see him when we were little....(him studying abroad from standard 3 in Singapore, until graduating from an Aus Uni).. he was always the fillial son.. but he wouldn't informed me if he's around too...*sigh*

I never expected much from Khiong though.. so when he said he's too tired to meet up yesterday nite..i was already expecting it.. eheh.. but i did pushed a little... (I can be pushy...coz I'm a girl..hehe...now 'I' can use that excuse..) so i guess he's on his way to the airport now.. o..well...*sigh*

Another time then..~~

If they were all girls & my elder/ younger sisters... they would most probably act the opposite right..~ ? Let's see...
(Erica, Cecille, Brenda, Jessica(younger)...

Me: "Hey sis..can i try your clothes on?"
Erica: "Sure..knock yourself out...i have loads of them in my closet.."
Cecille: " I have an idea...Let's play dress up.."
("yeay..!" exclaimed all..)
Jessica: " I want to play too.."

Ah..~~wistful thinking.. :) ...

So i think that explains a lot.....
