sisterly hours

my sis was in town yesterday. she called before leaving home to check if i was interested in tagging along to central mall. oh, why not? i like going out, seeing things different from my computer screen. so she came to collect me and we headed out to have lunch first. we ate at mk and started to chat up. it's our sneaky time that we like to share together, no phun, no pae (her hubby), just joon and joei.

mostly we meet on the weekend when i drive back home but the days are always buzzing with kids, household chores, parents, relatives, cooking, eating, putting phun to bed, trying to get him nap, doing laundry etc.. we really don't have to time for girlie, sisterly talk.. so when in town and not too caught up with work, she always come to get me and pull me away from my internet work and we lunch out together.

getting older, i've started to realize and agree that sisters are best friends. must admit that earlier i disagree with this saying. though, we are from the same family, we didn't get along too well. we were like water and oil which were significantly different and couldn't be mixed up.. she had her own agenda and i had mine.. but growing up, having kids, taking up more responsibilities, she's changed. we both have changed and learned to live together. we reasonably adopt and adapt what we feel right. we are more like yin and yang. when she is hot, i am cold. i like traveling with her. she is an information seeker, digger and hunter. i am the processors, team leader and interpreter. she is the science and i am the art..

actually, we are still living different lives. she is in the coorperate work, i am the business owner. she believes in building and gaining more, whereas i believe in letting go and cutting down. but we accept who we are and embrace the differences..
