My sister ...


In my life, I have many younger girl friends that enjoy a close relationship with me and to them; I am somewhat the big brother and them being my little sisters. This is not hard coming form the fact that I am the eldest in my family, hence my protective brother approach to friends.

But, as the saying goes, blood is thicker than water and the closest one to my heart is my little sister … my own J

I would like to think that she’s the one I watch closest to … the one whom I take most pride in her personal achievements, the one whom I tolerate playfulness and pamper-ful character … but honestly, she always gets away by being cute about things …

But I was not always close with her … I was less tolerant to her behaviour when I was younger, but as they say … people change & I did … just when I started living away from home in university, then Europe, Singapore and now, when she moved to Japan.

You might not believe it, but I do share quite a few of my secrets with her, that most people do not know. And many find it surprising, since the age gap of 5 years is not one which most brothers share out … but I think I am cool with her.

Do I miss her? Yes I do, but I guess life’s about growing up and letting go, so I believe she will venture out to find her path in life … but big brother is watching somewhere from here.
