My nuclear family consist of mom, dad, a big sister and myself. Minus all of my cousins, aunts, grandparents and other extended families, my life, my family is really quite and calm. My dad is reserved and quite, my mom is the hectic and loud member of our family...but only around us, but most of the time not, and my sister who is 5 years older than me. So you can imagine how tense or how less is the cohesiveness of relationship between me and my sister. When she's in standard 6, I was just about to enter primary school and the same when i'm entering secondary school, my sister's graduating. So there is really not very much time for me and my sister to bond because by the time she's a teenager, energetic and all, I can't join in cause I'm still a little kid. I wouldn't understand for most of her doings and what not.
I believe siblings bond is very much important. Me and my sister is fine, but it's just that honestly, I really don't know much about her. It's not in my place and time to be her friend at her 'energetic', rebellious, teen times. And so this kind of quite, distant relationship goes on. We don't really tell everything, become friends with our parents, not us boys usually at least. So, the person that should be our best friend is suppose to be our siblings. Or that's what I always heard. Most of my friends have a very tight relationship, a glued relationship with their siblings. And I do sometimes envy them. They have someone, blood related to tell all their problems, to complain, to express feelings, pain, to share secrets, to share interest or good news. I know a non-blood related friend can also become your best friend. But you don't always see them, with them.
Do not misunderstand, I am not complaining or be ungrateful in anyway. It's just that, I have always dreamed of having a big brother. Someone to look up to, someone to share interest, someone to teach me things. I have no one to teach me, the way of boy's life or whatever. Minus my dad, he is quite, reserved. Plus his term of fun cannot be apply to me in this decade. And I am a quite, reserved kid myself. When I was a little boy, my skill of making friends is so below average. It's kinda hard for me to make friends because kids would actually bully the most quite one in class. Kids are evil. But i wouldn't say I get bullied often...errr
Anyway, by the time I get into college, I tried to change. Try to mingle with em boys and all. And I succeed, kind off. But I know a friend couldn't possibly be the same as a brother. Once I asked my classmate to be my brother. But that's stupid and I know it wont work. I can only imagine how fun it would be if I do have a male figure, a companionate that would together be a mischievous, naughty kid. But instead I am this, a good boy. No fun. I don't know how or what is fun with boys.
So I learn life through my sister. She is really good in fashion, dress up, look pretty, look good. I learn that. To look good, be presentable. To match up clothes. To care for well being. To up keep and maintain my facial, appearance. And that is all great. I'm grateful for this knowledge. For my personality. for this is who I am. What I've become.
A brother. An imagination. Never to happen. I cannot say to wanting a guy best friend. A real guy. Cause naturally made we are, we can't have everything we want. That would be selfish. Oh how much fun it will be and how much different I would turn out if I do have a brother.
