Today my post will be about my lovely sisters. I decided to write a little bit about them because I love them so much and I can't wait to see them again in Kuching next month. It has been a while since we all got together as sisters. Although, the second youngest won't be able to join us next month, but it's okay! There will always be next time.
So, my oldest sister is Felicia. She was born 2 years before me in 1983. She doesn't have any Iban name so we call her Bibi. We are very close. We loved to keep our house tidy when we were young. We were trained by my mother at a very young age how to tidy up the house. So now that we are older, that habit of keeping the house neat and tidy stays with us. So, I guess that is a good thing. Felicia is now working as a civil engineer in Kuching. She just got married on the 8th of July 2011. We'll be there to attend her reception next month.
I am the second one. The one after me is Florianna. Her Iban name is Lendai. She used to dislike her Iban name. I don't know why. Maybe she likes it now. She is 2 years younger than me. She will be celebrating her 24th birthday in October. She just completed her Masters degree in Safety, Health and Environment. She'll be having her convocation on September the 24th. Right now, she is continuing her PhD in Environmental Engineering and at the same time working as a Research Assistant. She shares the same hobby as my older sister and that is reading books! They can read a very thick novel and finish it within a few hours! I can never understand how they do it!
The fourth sister is Felicity also known as Anai, her Iban name. She was born in December 1989. She is the genius in the family. She is a straight A's student. She has been a fully- sponsored student since high school. She went to a private high school and now she is continuing her final degree in IT in Melbourne, Australia. She is a very competitive young lady. I guess that's what makes her a successful student. My dad has a different way to approach her when she is upset. I won't dare to talk to her if she is angry. I love her though.
The youngest one and the baby of the family is Florina. We call her Urai. She will be 18 in December, a few days after Christmas Day. When she was a baby, I helped my mother to take care of her. She was very close to me. I was like her second mother. I would stay at the nursery with her. I put her to sleep, I made her milk, I bathed her, I did a lot of things for her. When she was in primary school, I used to help her with her drawings. Right now, she is doing her foundation in Science, a pre-university course. After she completes this course, she wants to take a civil engineering course. She loves to read as well.
One common hobby that we all share is the love of dancing! Since I got married, I don't dance anymore. I don't know why! We all love to sing as well. We used to karaoke at home all the time. We always have some funny stories to tell each other.
Of course, as siblings we have our ups and downs too. But at the end of the day, we are still sisters no matter what!
I can't wait to meet them again and have sister-to-sister time! I am so close to my siblings and I miss them.
