Today...
is my sister's birthday!!
Happy Birthday to Mandy Chen PeiSi aka my sister aka 妹妹 aka 阿美 aka Ah Buui...
Today's blog is dedicated to my sister...
Let's see...
Childhood...
We weren't as close as we are not when we were much younger... Life was hellious with her non-stop wailing and crying... I really hate spending time with her. She really drives me up the wall... When I was younger I could never accept the fact that I must give in to her!! Why do I have to let her have what she wants all the time? Just because she cries louder than anyone I know doesn't mean I have to give in to her!
I used to scream at my sister a lot... and feel really guilty about it. I guess after a while she got used to it too... So my screaming was almost like her crying... It's like a second nature. So it didn't really matter if I scream at her or not, she will continue to do what she does. The sentence that I said most to her was, "Go away lah..." It was such a nightmare having her hanging around me last time...
Of cos we do have our fun times...
For e.g... When she was much younger, she was so horribly addicted to the pacifier that in order to help her quit it... We (the whole family) had to hide the pacifer... It's not like she's still a crawling toddler... She's was already very eloquent and good with her words at the time when she was still hooked on the pacifier... So we had to do what we did..
I also remember that she once had her umbrella shaped ear-ring stucked on the fabric of the sofa. We both pratically freaked out... It was such a harrowing exprerience then... I didn't know what to do and with her making so much noise, I don't even know what to think... I had to call my mom for emergency advice.
As we got older...
Our cat fights and screaming battle was over... I remember my mom use to say to me," Now you quarrel with ur sister so much, just wait till the time when you both are separated from each other, then you'll know how much u miss each other.."
At that time, I always thought my mom was kidding, I never took it seriously. Until it really happened, I know what my mom said was right...
As we grew older, there some sort of a sisterly bond start to form... It is so subtle that we only realised it when we find that we can talk non-stop about girlish stuffs... My sister is such a girlish person, so feminine and so blur... Anyway, we talk about all sorts of stuffs... Sometimes she will come to my room and talk cok with me until late. We watch all the shows on Channel U and Channel 8 until there was nothing to watch. We ate supper like no tomorrow... We gossip about people, we exchanged tips and some inner thoughts you'll never thought you will share with ur siblings or someone from ur family.
When I had to leave for Australia, I really felt so depressed that all these eating and gossiping and what nots are going to exit for the back stage for a while... You know... sisters are so different from friends.. They won't judge you by the things you do, unlike friends. Talking to sister is so much different from talking to ur friends, anytime... At least there are some stuffs that you can tell ur sister... and not your friends...
Personality...
My sister is a very blur person... When I say blur.. I mean really really blur... In all aspects... Ok... maybe not all... She's very alert when she comes to choosing hair products for her precious mane. At first look, you will think she's very dao... But as you get to know her, you'll know she's actually a very friendly person who can be a little siao sometimes.
She's a very hard working person, I know that she's going through her exam now, so this must be a stressful period for her. She knows when to have fun and when to be serious, in fact, I think she had better self discipline than me... When she wants to do something, she'll go all out to make sure she get it done. Like the course she is in now... It's something that she likes very much, but is worried that she cannot catch up with the other students in her class, she puts in extra effort for it. So if you are reading this... 加油 ok...
She has weird sleeping habit... Sleeps when there's sun and awake when the sun goes down...
She's got good taste. Food, clothes, accessories, whatever... But sometimes too exotic for me...
She is a PINK fanatic!!! Everything (k la... Most things) she owns are PINK... and she's a big big big big big big fan of Hello Kitty...
Very smart person, though sometimes she can be quite blur, but she thinks before she speaks. Unlike bimbos who only know how to look pretty and talk rubbish, my sister is pretty and can managed a well structured conversation.
However, sometimes I think she might be a little low on the self esteem... Then again... She's so smart that she's worked her way around that...
Final words...
Of cos I can go on talking about my sister forever, but it has to end somewhere.
I really wish that she'll pass her exams with flying colours... Be more positive about life... Hopefully she can sleep at more normal timing and maintain her goot figure even after eating like a pig...
It's really good to have a sibling who feels like your friend and yet at the same time, so much more than JUST a friend. I'm really grateful for having such a cute lil' sis who can make my stomach ache and cheeks cramp from laughing too much. Also really thankful that my sister and I can be ourselves with each other... No pretence, all natural.
Continue to look pretty and feel pretty ya?
Stay Cute and Funky ya?
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
