Right in front of Pavi Kl, picture perfect!
It's a cold Friday morning-this kinda weather would always bring me to the emotional side. At this very moment, I'm thinking HOME and FAMILY.Pretty deep huh?
Never i miss a day without talking on the phone with mum and dad. Dad would usually call me at noon, while he sits leisurely under a tree, at the square bench outside church waiting for my sisters to be out of school. There are times when he calls me at night-in which I always assume that he's in the car on his way back home from his night badminton routine. Even so, I would ask him where he is and he would reply, "As usual..." I would smile to myself, as I could just imagine mummy nagging to my little sisters about daddy playing too much badminton and how he'll just sit in front of the tv putting ice on his knees after playing. Mum, on the other hand, would call me late at night I believe to make sure that I woould have a good night sleep. An alternative to tuck me into the bed. She would always say, don't forget to say your prayers-good night ahh in the softest and gentlest tone; somehow hinting how much she misses me. Thinking about this makes me have tears in my eyes. Until now.
My sisters, Ceilia and Lisa-they're my personal entertainers. Ceilia's abit of the wild one and very bold. it's a middle child thing I'd like to believe. Not a bad thing though, the best person to have a heart-to-heart conversation with. She would be the one looking at my college ID card picture and goes off saying, Mel you seriously look like a teacher in that but when they see you in reality, you're so not teacher material. This particular line is sure to come out from Lisa's mouth, Mel, you future teacher-do learn to dress decently-just because i'm the shorts-tank top kinda person (well daddy does shorts too, so it runs in the family). Lisa is the cute and chubby one-definitely stubborn, but aren't all the youngest ones in the family hard-headed? I used to think of them as monkeys, they were so naughty and you can say I'm pretty full of myself-thinking I was the only poised one among us three. Haha. Frankly, when we were still living and breathing under the roof, not that we're not now but since i'm always 'out-station', well, we argued A LOT. We'd argue about who's gonna take the last piece of fried chicken wing on the table, we'd make a fuss about one getting a new top and the other two not-yeah all the silly things. Looking back now, I admit that we were pretty foolish and the things that made me go mad before, are making me laugh now. We are all grown up now, Ceilia will be sitting for SPM this year and Lisa's in form 4. Younger sisters are annoying at times, but I can never imagine life without them. :)
Maybe I should stop here. To stop the possibility of me crying non-stop.
Love you XOXO
