Tickled Toes
My sis just came frm jb last nite to join us.
Had a nice homely dinner together, just the 3 sis chatting bout what's happening in our lives and stuff.
Nat mentioned bout how her acting got nice commentations from her lecturer and peers. And she's starting to get really hooked up on her study; like start to really listen in class and noticing the tips given by the lecturer. Told me she lurved the study environment in Nanyang. Great that it turned out ok.
She was apprehensive at first when her peers were telling her that how come she got form 6 result still studying for nursing in sg, but now when she saw so many doctrine dropouts from china and other people who'd been working for pretty some time trying out nursing, she's comforted that she didnt make the wrong choice.
** A word about choice; dun regret whatever decisions u make, if it doesnt turn out the way u want it to or watever, make the best of it or be grateful u get the chance to learn now rather than in later life. Move on. **
We called dad in hometown, he's starting to hav a bit of the "Missing" symptoms, means he'd call somebody to fill up the missing holes in his heart. Weird really. Then called mum in kuching.
Nat sms dd to discover one of her friend sent her a bday gift to our house in hometown. She was excited bout the bday present, not really in the present itself if u get my drift, and asked dd to send a pic of it.
She couldnt stop mentioning it, but 10 minutes later she mentioned in melancholy that mum's gonna light up the candle at grandpa's tomb before giving a sigh. hehe..couldnt stop feeling tickled.
She mentioned her experience w my uncle in jb too; how he was a bachelor back in the heigh days (but gotten married at age 21), how he struggled during his pre-retirement (half way goin home to jb frm sg only to be called back to work at the custom), how uncle n aunt communicate at home, saying sometimes long term couples do get bored with one another but hey that's life, how he sulked during mother's day that all mothers are being treated like a dragon whereas fathers are being treated like a worm (try saying that in chinese) when my sis gave a self-made card to my aunt for mother's day, how uncle likes to eat ice cream and banana whereas aunt takes supper when she couldnt sleep, how many stories he was telling my sis and cause her ears to burn but excited to listen for more at the same time..
Odd that ppl dun usually tell much to their own family but treat strangers like ol pals.
I'm grateful she's optimistic : Some ppl say optimism is not a good thing to hav cos one tends to be bias to the harsh reality, but I hav to differ. It's great for a person's attitude and approach in life, and tat enthusiasm is very infectious in real life senario. Makes a person look forward to a new day with challenge beckoning at them, better than being a pessimist any day for me.
Nat's on holiday till tis weekend, gonna bring her for hair cut and movies and shoppings, things sisters do with one another.
I lurve all my sisters, each of them unique and nice to watch.
B's mature for her age, high taste in cooking, used to eat like a bird, cynical and emotionally dependent. Used to be tomboyishly independent, now chidingly girlish.
Nat's optimistic, artistic, and a whole package of potential waiting to be discovered. And she has some qualities that I lacked, like telling everyday stories with a constant chuckle buried beneath her voice (read humorous approach).
Dd's quiet, prim and knows what she wants in life. Which can be troublesome cos life are notorious for dropping surprises on our laps. But she's getting better as it goes, gonna join us in kl like next year.
Good to know we are all over Malaysia, and has friends in penang, kl, jb, sg, sarawak and lawas.
Wun be moving anyday soon cos my sis bf's family is tentatively living here till the father decides what to do with himself.
Sometimes, one gt feel grateful for little mercies, like not having dad like my sis bf's. I guess some ppl hav lotsa misgivings for dads or mums or takers as responsible adults.
But hey, life's a balance. If one has a bachelor excuse for a dad, they'd turn out pretty stable if not commitment phobic, if one has a dad who doesnt know wat he wants and makes other ppl miserable, sometimes they turn out to be understanding. Guess life's a bitch, and it has puppies.
Anyway, bringing all the sis out for hair cuts tonite, then dinner and movie marathon on wednesday. Shopping on thurs, fri and sat before she heads home for sg. Need to get stuff for uncle and aunt and her housemates in sg.
