gone

for my sister... yeah now that she's gone, i can have the room all to myself (but not for long, fyi, i'll be joining her in penang in 3days) #$%^&*( what the heck, i thought this "eulogy" thingy... nevermind

this is an eulogy afterall... dont know why? so here goes...

eulogy n. (pl. -ies) 1 a speech or writing in praise of a person. b an expression of praise. 2 US a funeral oration in praise of a person. [from Late Latin eulogia 'praise' ]

sisterhood... i have not one, but three... well, technically, two; but practically three. particularly close to the this one pictured below. she's gonna kill me if she sees this but i know she wont coz i know her too well, yeah, wait till the cow comes home.... she's too busy to spare a moment to drop by so i can 'kutuk' her as much as i want in my blog without her noticing... hey, i thought this is supposed to be an eulogy.... 'jangan sampai terpesong tajuk pulak, can get F9 ya know?', said our Bahasa Melayu teacher.

our room will never be the same again now that she's gone... (for good? nah, you must be kidding!) our shelves a bit more space now that she had moved her "paints" up north.... well, dont get me wrong, i appreciate her being my "consultant", like what colours to wear, and mix and matches of spring colours... shimmery glammoury glittery thingy... innocent? feminine? minimalism? witty? you name it, she'll "colour" and "fill in the blanks" for ya.

i miss our "after-lights-out" conversations... the one with the unwritten law (a.k.a common law) that states that the conversation ends automatically when one of the party dozed off, or when no reply is given after a lapse of 5seconds. gossiped, teased, citicized, encouraged, assured, praised, conspired, fought, cried, laughed... talked bout everything, and anything under the moon... there were even nights when i have to stay up to wait for her to come back after her night out... yeah, feels like a mother waiting at the door for her return... ok ok, let's be fair... there were nights when i came home late and she's the one who stayed up late... (hahah, ma and pa "gave up" on our coming home late) she would call and ask where i was and vice versa if we hadnt showed up after midnight... things sisters do... enlightening?

now that she's gone... the other bed's empty these past three nights... my other 'room mate's gone... wet my pillow last sunday night... got teased the other day... hahahah, this is how the ngoo's work... weird? nah, we're a unique kinda family... one of a kind! a-bu-den...

just got of the phone with her... needed my "humble advice" regarding pendaftaran awal bagi kursus Pusat Bahasa dan Terjemahan, USM... yeah, i havent told ya meh? she got herself enrolled in USM... ring a bell? we'll be attending the same college...

to be continued...

running late... meeting the P.I.G.s at 2pm... "kancheong"...
