this thing called family

my sister-in-law is so damn good at cooking!

yet despite, she is humble enough not to admit that everytime we all seem to agree on it. tonight, she's making us noodles (the medan-ish style), and it didn't take me by surprise due to the consistency of the taste so far.

i'm thinking at times that, sooner or later, it won't be easy for me to have to live apart from my siblings (and their spouses). i'm rather spoilt at the moment.

andreas, my brother-in-law, he is sorta of a mr. fixer at home. and besides, he sends me to work everyday. and he plans.

my sister, i thought she is living it, showing what it means to be on your own. without her, it would be too much of a challenge the first time i arrived in sydney.

my brother, he has been growing up a lot! i didn't see him for two years, and these days, he is rather a gentleman, part of it due to his being married. he just treated me like his girl friend as we flied back together to indo for his wedding, paying for the taxi's fare, carrying my heavy luggage, arringing for the tickets at the counter, buying me dinner. i kinda ehem, enjoyed it ;) and he cooks well.

caleb is just so good at making you feel as if you're the most important person ever in the world! he just have that warmest smile to greet me (and other family members) everytime i come home. at times, he would leap in joy!

and me? i'm rather good at enjoying their services (and learning to thank God for them, and a bit of a clean freak at times).

hang on, i might as well revel at the thoughts of the rest of my family overseas.

i remember my eldest brother, he's always been the big brother for me. he showed his concern to mom while i was a teenager for having too many grey hairs! (i know..). everytime i am back to indo, he picks me up from the airport, always takes me to places for meals or else buys me take-aways, sends me to places (and concerns a lot if i insist on taking public transport).

my other sister-in-law, she's hospitable, and readily makes sure that i am not lacking in anything while staying in indo. she's at times chatty at her own class, and is a pleasure to get to know.

mom, she is an all-rounder! she cooks, bakes, sews, cuts her children's hair, looks after dad and everyone.

dad, he's really hard-working, and always gives advices.

i hope to see them in heaven.

ps. i'm afraid i'll be expecting too much from somebody to be a boyfriend later.
