My BroTheR

HE came to the world 3 years earlier than me
HE welcomed the arrival of me
HE taught me things I don't know
HE guide me when I'm lost
HE was often being a topic between my friends and family
HE loves us
HE was my inspiration

BUT LATELY

HE has changed
HE went to Singapore for further studies
HE came back a few times a year
HE cared for his friends more than our family
HE made home a hostel
HE woke up late and slept late too
HE was home only during sleeping hours
HE prefer to stay in front of the computer than communicating with us
HE prefer eating out than dining with us
HE misunderstood the meaning of family bond

I've only seen him for 1/3 of my time this week...
I haven't been speaking for more than 5 sentences to you this week...
Mum and dad have been quite disappointed...

My dear brother, where are you??

you have spelt out my feelings and disapointments against your brother. Frankly i am learning very hard to drop my k and feeling about him otherwise i can drop dead anytime. I think the role of a parent is to deliver, deliver and deliver...aih....

Why think so negatively?
I was thinking maybe it's the time for youngsters to explore the world and to socialize...
I guess he'll be back to normal when he grew older...
Don't think too much la...
On the bright side, he's been improving already ma these days... =)
So cheer la..
I dun really know what to say to comfort you la..
But I'll just say "time will change everything..."

I am ok , don think otherwise. it was jus happened your comments highlighted my frustrations only. Perhaps i have put too high expectation on u guys and that y i faced a greater disappointments. serve me right . I will adjust myself gradually and focus on other things in order to balance myself. do i have better choice /
