I am an aunt!!! My cousin gave birth to the very first member of the fourth generation for the Kayat family. and it’s a girl!!! haven’t get to see her yet but it’s beautiful news. read: my cousin is the SAME AGE as me. all the same, am an AUNT. auntie seri? cik seri? wak seri? and my sisters laughed at the notion of me being called wak seri. i mean, hello! u girls are wak siti and wak nuri too!!

so i had been doing some chores, and was clearing my wardrobe. i have no idea i have awful lots of baju!! and while doing it, i was actually thinking “gosh. i need some new clothes!!” what girls are made of, aren’t we?!! anything nice and pretty to brighten an otherwise dull life.

by the way, i came across an alternative way of doing homework. so i was sitting beside my sister nuri (14 years of age and still looks like a baby to me)who was doing her Science homework(which was to write a summary of the chapter). she was complaining throughout, i asked her what was bothering her?? she showed me the page she was reading. it was on reproduction.

“I don’t want to do this!!! it’s boring, why do we have to read this! it’s YUCKK!!”

“but sis, you have to know, it’s SCIENCE, learn for the knowledge, don’t think too much la!”

“it’s still YUCKS!”
“whatever you say sis. during my time? my class was BANNED from studying this topic!”

so she was writing her summary with coloured pens and i noticed she was writing with this colour or something like this colour. Can you see them? u barely can. but she was writing with that ink coloured pen! for a SUMMARY, which, from the number of pages she’s writing, it looked more like a THESIS.

“of all colours, you have to write in that colour??! you can’t even read it!! and is that evena summary? u’re like copying the whole thing!” (and being the responsible older sister, i was going to ask her to rewrite the whole thing LEGIBLY).

“but yeah that’s THE POINT la kak!! so that my sir will not spot any mistakes, and i will not be reading this again, you see!”

i’m speechless. she does have a point there. writing in a pale neon coloured pen, so sir won’t see any mistakes. i bet he won’t be reading it at all~ now why didn’t i think of that during those school years??!! my sweet smart sister.

oh, have i told you about my other sister who did not complete one of her final N level paper? WILLINGLY? just because she doesn’t feel like it? don’t go there. that’s my ROCK-ON! sister.

am just a big sis who is proud of her little sisters. i still can’t quite accept them as teenagers. they still look like babies to me.
