Almost 1 month to meichyi birthday. But by the time you see this. It'll be JULY 11TH. Ahahaha.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BELOVED SISTER!!

I'm blogging this now because I'm preparing to give her a surprise by blogging about our past and about our lives. This really need time to recall and type. So I'll starts now and hope I'll finish this in time.

I've got the best sister in the world. Wonder why? Read on.

1. When I'm 4 years old and she is 1, my mum used to buy new teat (奶嘴) for her and I'll used those old one that she had bitten before. I dislike that old one because it's not that nice. So I'll sneak up on her at night and exchange mine with hers and I'll bite the new one to sleep almost every night. I wasn't sure she realised this at all but at least my mum didn't. Every morning after I wake up, the first thing I'll do is to exchange back that teat. Back into meichyi mouth. She won't cry or kick and I wonder maybe she like to bite that old one but she can't talk at that time so I'll help to exchange it for her every night. She was 1 and I was 4 that time.

2. When I'm 7 and she is 4, my mum force us to sleep in a room in our new house. We used to sleep together before the new house and now left the both of us. We always remember hearing the radio my mum on for us before going to sleep. The radio always played very soft and light music at night that scares me and meichyi because it's so eerie. Here comes the weird part. But my mum kept on declining that she helped us on the radio before we sleep. She insists that she didn't on it for us and both of us was sure that we don't know how to on or off it, so where does the music come from? Till now it's still a mystery. She was 4 and I was 7 that time.

3. When I'm 8 and she is 5, I remembered my mum brought us to the clinic one day and wanted us to wear earrings. Know what that's mean? We're going to have needle poking through our ears and leave a hole there for putting a diamond-like stick in it!! Scary much? Ya. So when it's our turn, I faster push meichyi to the seat and say meichyi you first ok? She looks like nothing happened and got her ears pierced. She cried for awhile and when the doctor gave her 1 sweets she stopped immediately. So I faster ask her:"mei, pain ma?" meichyi:"no ah. *innocent face while sucking that sweet*" So I believed her and when that needle poked my ear, I scream in pain and tears begins to flow. Before leaving my mum had to give me 3 sweets to stop me from crying. 1 in my mouth and 2 I wanted to 'da bao' back. She was 5 and I was 8 that time.

4. When I'm 10 and she is 7, my mum asked us whether we're interested in learning swimming? We both got no comments so my mum registered the swimming lessons for us. First time swimming, the uncle wants us to let go of our hands that we were holding on the side of the pool and face him. I was 1.10m (I think) and meichyi was about 0.90m. We were in the adult pool (1.00m) and I waited for meichyi to let go of her hands before I let go mine. But we both couldn't stand on our legs in the pool so we faster hold on to the side again. She was 7 and I was 10 that time.

5. When I'm 11 and she is 8, we both know how to swim quite well in the 1.00m pool so the uncle decided to bring us to the 1.80m pool to challenge. It's actually the same pool but as you swim further from both sides of the pool, the depth got deeper and in the middle is 1.80m. So we were called to hold on to the side while we swim (glide) to the middle. Me and meichyi was shaking that time as it was very cold that day and we were afraid. But I let her go first which means she will leave the floor first before me and felt the fear from the 1.80m first before me. As we glide I asked her:"mei, you cold?" She was trembling and answered:"en. Very cold." She was 8 and I'm 11 that time.

6. When I'm 11 and she is 8, we got through our bronze swimming exam and got that cert easily, we were brought to another swimming pool and this time I faced my true fear. We learned swimming for almost 1 year and I'm not afraid of that 1.80m already. It so fun swimming there because we both felt so free in it. My fear. A swimming pool with depth 3.60m. I was 1.15m and meichyi was 0.93m (I not sure). First thing the uncle called us to jump into that 3.60m, of course with us holding to the side. meichyi jumped in first and she said:" very deep le jie." I said:"ok. I'm going down now." I was shaking from head to toe and even my teeth trembled too. But meichyi wasn't scared at all. I asked her why and she said:"I been to that 1.80m pool and I can't reach the floor and now this 3.60m pool I still don't touch it also. It the same la jie." I was like speechless and I looked down to the water and think this call the same? It like the sea to me. Next, the uncle wants us to swim across to the other side. It's just 25m away but it seem like thousand of metres away from me. Guess who swim first? After meichyi, my turn. Shit. This is so scary I felt like crying. But in the end I struggle to the opposite side and before I even reach the side, meichyi swim closer to me and say:"jie, don't scare, take my hand." I really felt like crying after I reached there. How can she be so brave? You should take a look at her when she was 8. She was like so tiny but she's not afraid of things that I do. She was 8 and I was 11 that time.

7. When I was 11 and she was 8. Have you ever jump off from a 5m height building? It's about 2 stories high. We were called by that uncle again to jump off from that 5m to the 3.60m pool. Double fears. But I wasn't thinking about the 3.6m that time. I was focused on that height. Ya. You're right. meichyi jumped first. I was right behind her and I could saw her waving her arms when she fell into that 3.6m pool which looks like it swallowed meichyi's whole body into its stomach. Okay. My turn. I step forwards and looked down. OMG~ That kind-hearted uncle saw my bloodless face and asked if I was ready. I answered nope and he lift me up and sort of let go of his hands and I felt that commit suicide feeling. That feeling I won't forget till the moment my heart stops beating and my eyes couldn't be opened again. It was like you wanted to shout and scream but nothing comes out from your throat. And halfway through falling you will felt as if the whole world stop moving under your feet and no sound were heard, no movements were seen and suddenly you felt you got a few more seconds during free-fall before reaching that cooling water. Hard to believe right? Try it and tell me what you feels. After landing straight into that water, omg, I almost sank into that water till I can touched that 3.60m floor. I couldn't breath in that depth of water and my ears hurts. I quickly swam to meichyi and asked her:"how you feeling? I felt like dying." She said she was opening her arms when she falls and she hurts them badly after hitting the water. The impact was too great for her little body that time. But she says it was fun and wanted for more when I says I don't want to play again forever. I regretted now. It WAS fun. She was 8 and I was 11 that time.

8. When I was 13 and she was 10, our whole family migrate to Msia and we had a new life here. We don't even know a single malay word and had to start learning from satu to seratus (till now I can't count from one to hundred in malay). Our result for the first BM paper was meichyi 19 me 23 I think. The second time our result was meichyi-64 O.o, me-32 :( She was 10 and I was 13 that time.

9.When I was 19 and she was 16, daddy wants her to go Sg to study and she left Msia straight after knowing Westwood (that's the name of her school now) wants her. She was so brave to sleep alone in a room (which I'm scared of) and go school alone in an unfamiliar place. This is the second time we were forced to separate (the first is when I was chosen to go to NS) and I lost someone to talk to when I have problems. She was 16 and I was 19 that time.

10. When I was 19 and she was 16, I broke up with him and I called meichyi. I cried like a woman possessed and she text me and comfort me with a single message. That message is still in my phone to remind me not to think of him again but it just couldn't work sometimes. But I really was so touched when I saw that message. I never know that she really cared about me and him. She always says I'm very noisy when I told her bout him and she seem so uninterested. After a few weeks she came out to Msia for holiday. With her around I think less about him and slowly I recovered from that pain. I lived like a zombie that time. She was 16 and I was 19 that time.



11. When I was 20 and she was 17, I was notify to go to SIM UNI in Sg for interview. I was having my A2 exams that time and I felt so stress about the interview (I'll get stress when I was forced to do things that I've never did before) that I cried when I called her. She comfort me by saying :" Dont worry la jie, I'll help you think of what to say ok? Don't cry le. Just focus on your exam." she was 17 and I was 20 that time.


12. When I was 20 and she was 17, I lost him (the same him) again a month ago and was about to go to Sg. We were at Ipoh that time and I miss him so much that time till I cried for 3 hours non-stop. She kept on comfort me and in the end she cried with me. She ask:"jie, how can you love someone so deep?" I said:"I don't know. I very silly hor?" She stopped crying and accompany me to wash my face at the toilet which is sooooo far away from our room. She was 17 and I was 20 that time.


13. When I was 20 and she was 17. After June I migrate to Singapore and is now offically a Singapore people. == Finally after 1 year and 3 months, we are back to staying together. :D Hope we won't quarrel too much and have peace always. She was 17 and I was 20 THIS time.


I know we often argue and quarrel over little things but I know you'll get over it and we'll still be the closest sisters ever.So many things we did together and that's why I said I've got the best sister in the world. She is always braver than me and always encourage me when I insecure.


Finally finished this long, long post. Thanks for spending the time reading this. Sorry for all the grammer, vocab and spelling mistakes. :)
