i'm feeling dry and i wish i had more money to buy....?

that caption above, was Brandon's suggestion. It rhymed, so I thought “why not?”

He just got back from Sg. Wang where he went shopping for a skate board for his brother Gavin, for his birthday I suppose. How sweet ne? Made me think when was the last time I ever bought something for my adik. Lemme think, i reckoned it was last Christmas? Didn't even got her anything for her birthday this year, just a simple birthday wish-via text message (!). Crappy sister I make huh? (Deme!! Brandon makes me look bad). Oh well, I suppose it's the thought that counts??

Anyway, was reading my kakak’s blog a while ago and I'm glad I did. If it wasn't for her ranting there, I wouldn't know what's going on with her life now. Again, I'm being the crappy (younger) sister here. I hardly keep-in-touch with her at all. The only time we ever get to speak is whenever she calls home and I happen to pick-up the phone before passing the line to either mama or papa.

As sisters, we were never that close while growing-up. I guess it's because the age difference were quite apparent (oh she's gonna kill me for this!). It's just 4 years difference in fact. Not that big a deal. I exaggerated. (Hehe).

She have always been the one with the big dream, the one with goals. I on the other hand was all about having fun. A day dreamer. Our characters were just worlds apart. She was the reliable daughter, I was the bikin sakit kepala one. She was the academic achiever, I was the one who always failed in exams. She being the one who is firm on doing things, and as of me, I falter every time I get bored, for I am fickle and the list goes on. I guess that's why we weren't close during our childhood. Birds with the same feathers fly together remember? She was an eagle, the sparrow was me *giggles*

But mind you, I have always looked up on her. And to see that she's doing very well now, makes me feel very happy and proud of my sister...and a tiny bit envious. Hey, I'm only human. Honestly speaking, reading her blog made me feel puny of myself...but only for a while *giggles* . Cause right now, I feel more driven to achieve my goals too.

So sis, if you are reading this, Thank You. And please do take care of your health and your baby. Stop eating too many junk foods lah! Send my hugs and kisses to Lana and your hubby. Err...on second thought, just send my regards to your hubby ya?

By the way, the thing 'bout the eagle-sparrow thingamajig I said up there, that doesn't beat the fact that both my sis and I are from the same pot (father and mother lah). Family sticks together, despite flying at different altitude and speed.
