I received emails from my sisters in UK and Penang almost everyday. Usually, we gossip and changes stories about our daily lives, of coz, what is happening in the family. My sis-in-law in UK insists that we update her with every single detail about everybody at home. So, for the past 2 years, the 3 of us have been exchanging stories and news. My sis said that it would make her feel closer. Funny when the person that we’re supposed to tell all the stories at home is my own bro. The thing is, ever since they got married and moved back to KL, we’re so much closer to my sis-in-law than my bro. Of coz, being a man would definitely make us chose his wife to share gossips and gurly stuffs. Nevertheless, this one bro of mine is absolutely a very very good husband and father, just like my father.

I’ve got 4 brothers and 4 sisters. Out of them, only one who still unmarried. And I am so grateful as all my in-laws are superb and sporting. My Kak long for instance, I knew her since I was 4 when she got married to my Abang Long. She used to buy me skool uniform back when I was still in primary skool. However, of all 4 sis-in-laws I have, the one closest to me is this particular kakak who is now staying in UK. So, that’s why we get to email her everyday…

For only God knows reason, I think my parents also like her so much. She is loud, and very outspoken. But the way she brings herself, her approaches to my parents are unmistaken ably good. There was once when my 2 bros staying near to each other in KL, my parents would prefer to stay in her house longer than the other one. And after my father died, my mom tried to stay at my abang long’s place for 2 weeks before she finally surrender and told us she wanna go back home. And she keep on saying that she wanna stay at TM when my bro comes back.

And that’s what we told my sis-in-law in UK. And what made us sad is how she wrote that she is trying her very hard to finish up her thesis (coz my brother, surprisingly has already finished his), and then come back here and bring my mom to stay with them…

I was soooo touched! And so thankful to Allah for giving us the kindest people to be our family.

Maybe because she lost her mother when she was little. And maybe because she and my mom can go along pretty well with each other, having the same taste and very particular in every thing.

And the last email I received from her today, she jotted something about doing her best in this coming raya celebration as this raya will be their last raya in UK. Insya Allah.

Somehow, boleh nampak UK melambai-lambai kedatangan kami. J dan itulah motif sebenar di sebalik entry hari ini…saya akan ke UK bersama kakak tahun depan (sebab nk gi tahun ni tak cukop duit) !!
