Another blog post for today, because of one of my beloved sister.
We are four girls in the Chong's family. People always say that we are all look alike, but I am sure you can recognize me from the picture.
I am the youngest in the family, which is also the luckiest one who has the protections from the sisters, although sometime being the youngest one easily get bully by them. In another way, being the youngest can become the one who bully as well. By the name of "youngest".
In comparison, I am the only one who refused to work part time during my degree years. The other were either further their studies by part time or working part time during the weekend to earn the extra pocket money. Me?
The only one who gets to enter the local university which saves a lot of cost on the expenses. When outing with them, they are always the one who needed to spend for my part(the last year of taking excuse as a poor student). What is worst? Even the one-month or two-months semester break I am taking my sweet time at home, still not going anywhere for my pocket money. The typically being the youngest at home.
Nevertheless, each of us have lead our life to different pathway since the secondary school; the elder two entered an English school famous in the area, one entered private Chinese school and me, being the most lazy and blur towards future, entered the nearest Malay school.
Fate has brought us apart from what we pursuing in life. The eldest one is taking Master in Chinese Medicine and planning to have her PhD as well. The second one have struggle for years to get her professional certificate on accounting, but planning to switch to a totally different career than she had fight for so long, she has another dream to chase off. The one just above me is having her lovely life with her boyfriend in Penang whom once upon a time thought of join for working holiday program. And me again?
I being the most blur in what I wanted to fight for in life, just wanted to calm down my mind and focus for my final semester in university. While the other starts to ask whether to finally start working or still planning to continue my studies. For those friends of mine that work since they left form five, feeling weird for me still have the student status. For my parents what they worry for is me still not yet bring back any boyfriend back home before- a sign of worry for me to be forever alone.
Despite what people think or worry for my life. I am still lucky enough and got to make decision for my own future. There are a lot of choices out there depends on which way I am going to take. It is just like the poem written in our high school <the road not taken>, I do believe in any choice that I have end up with, I would not regret what I have decide later on. Each way is going to lead me to different destination. But each of them also will bring me up to another level in my life.
It feels like our sisters are going to be meet one another lesser and lesser. Each one busy for their dream. I am sure the distance will not break us apart, in fact it might be a way to bring us closer. Family full with women are likely to have arguments almost everyday.
ALL the BEST to my sister. Get your wings and travel around the world. I am always lucky of having you to show me how the other end of the earth looks like. Maybe one day I will follow your footsteps for the journey by a different road. Keep in touch!
or maybe if one day I broke two of my legs,
then only I will learn how to stand up. >.<
