sister act
well I was re-reading my archives. (yes, I do that.). In my defence it was to read the comments that I never knew were there. And I find this after one of those "questionnaire" posts (i don't know how to hyperlink, you'll have to find it yourself. it was funny though. under "three parts of your heritage", i include "diabetes". haha! i just kill myself sometimes.), this gem my sister left in the comments box: (since I had listed her as one of the people I wanted to see do this quiz.) it's seriously funny though, I had to post it. I know you won't mind, jie.

-------
on a related note: watching my sister and nick around each other..the old married couple-ness, with her saying stupid things and him correcting with an eye-roll; her fussing over him and his cold, and ordering him around in the same breath. And things like him camping overnight at heathrow to get her - missing the last bus to terminal 4, and having had to walk all the way, and making a video for her on the trek there (altogether now: awww! and, ew! haha). so sweet.
while the thought of my sister and her boyfriend usually grosses me out (haha)..seeing the small things - like her hand on his arm, and seeing the comfort and the love there - in a relationship where they're in the same timezone only for a quarter of the year - makes me feel so .... jealous. but also, really happy for them, of course. haha.
But mostly I wonder if I'll ever find anyone I could have a connection like that with. Or maybe i'll just die alone and the cats will eat my face before the neighbours complain about the smell and find my body. Then I'll have to have a closed coffin cos half my face will be gone. That won't be pleasant.
