siblings

I remember back then when I was younger there was only one question that I would ask my parents. Besides asking what are we having lunch/dinner, I always asked them how come they wanted to have Emeline and later Crystal. I always imagined how happy I would be without them with all the extra goodies I would get instead of it giving it to them and how much more extra attention/love/money would be mine. But things did work out for the best. Everyday the only thing I would be consistently thankful for are my sisters. Emeline and Crystal are truly the two people who understand me most.

Due to bigger age difference with Crystal of about eight years, I can relate more things to Mer. I think it would be quite hard to tell Crystal about how I am not sure if I am doing the right degree because she does not even know what a degree is or things like if is it worth it to spend time on this guy because they might end up all being assholes anyway. But nonetheless we still love her as much.

Mer is one of the best persons I know in life. I remember when we were younger we were like cats and dogs. Or probably worst. I wished she never existed. Now she is the best friend I can ever have. It’s like having a best friend that stays under the same roof as you and whenever I need her I can just go next door.

She’s been sort of like my life/road GPS. Literally. She has the best sense of direction and I would be quite terribly lost if I were driving alone. She’s the free adventurous spirit, the tough and fierce one. I am more of a chicken, and all my adventures are mostly based on her constant pushing. She’s the one who will remind me to man up and be strong when I am making myself unhappy with stupid decisions. She knows what is in my head even before I speak it out. Every time I just say mer, and before I can even finish my sentence she would say, what jie, you want to drink chatime is it/you want to kill this person is it/you want me to help you do this is it.

She is indeed the eldest in the family. Sometimes I can be quite terrified of her. However because of the physical convention that I am the eldest although I am not really, I get to have the final say in the end :D though most of the final decisions made are based on her ideas because they are the rational ones.

But do not be fooled for sometimes when we fight, it can be war. We don’t need to use many harsh words, but each word uttered hurts ten times more. Like there was once when she was doing some things on the computer and I kept on bugging her and asked her if she wanted to have lunch with me hahaha, and she said shut up jie in the please don’t mess with me tone. So I just stopped bugging her after that. The next day I saw a note that said, sorry I didn’t mean to ask you to shut up and she drew bobby’s face on the paper. Hahaha.

All I want to say is that I am very thankful for my sisters, and its just one of those days where I feel like talking about it.
