tribute to you:

littlesis has flown the coop- again. she left us both on Friday, back to where the sunshine, good food, and magic never ends. it was a journey i would never forget. she's been here three times since i first came in 1997, but this time, it felt a bit harder to let her go home.

this time round she stayed for six months. in her quest for a job after completing her studies in MMU majoring in a subject i have never managed to understand at all... how excited we were at the prospect of her earning the dosh for us to go places. and to learn how to become a responsible adult, teaching me along the way. alas! all her job applications came back with a polite but firm 'No, but thanks for asking, we'll keep you in mind' replies.

this year we didn't even get to go places. the newest place she's been this time round is a half-a-day trip to Blackpool, where she sampled the finest, scariest rollercoaster (at least for me and Biskut!) ever in her 23years on earth. yes, she tackled the Big One. and she has a photo of her screaming to prove she actually went on it. 8pounds well spent. i wish i didn't have to drive so i could've gone on it with you! and that's the absolute truth. bukan cakap tipu... and we had the time of our lives there cheering on Biskut with his electronic horse derby where he won her the biggest cutest teddy bear ever.

i feel a bit of a loss since the 48hours that she's gone. Biskut is being a great guy (that we all know he is), and luckily he has these two days off to help me take it easy. (like i don't do that already on a daily basis). i kinda got used to the idea that she was here to keep us company and to keep an eye on us as my dad wished not so secretly. Sunday is 'the O.C.' day, and although i usually watch it alone anyways, in the short time littlesis was here, she sometimes popped in the tv room to annoy me with questions that she didn't need to ask in the first place if she watched it with me from the start...!

there's nobody in the back room anymore making a right mess (actually there is, but i'll keep that story for another day.) nobody making really hot sambal and after that running off to 'smile' in the loo for up to fifteen minutes. nobody utilising the pc, or the v-cam, or hogging the mirror and complaining about their teeth. by the way they're not yellow at all. nobody i can bully into giving up the pc, or do the laundry, or ask to get ready in 15minutes to meet Biskut for a stroll down the park. nobody to accompany me to school. nobody to make big scary eyes at. or to dance for. or to laugh with.

this is making me even more sad than my previous post so i better stop here. but before i do that, littlesis, just wanted you to know that i miss you, i love you, take care, do what you need to do back home and then save up all your money so you can come back here and buy all the shoes on offer in Office and Schuh and Zara and everywhere else plus we can do all the stuff we did before. don't take too long. even Biskut is missing his nagaemas partner in crime.

and please take care of my adidas ballet shoes!
