This is a story about my younger sister Aishah. She is 10 years younger than me, yes a very wide age gap indeed but she is my best friend and very, very dear to me. We don't live in the same house anymore since I got married but we are still as close as ever.
She is a sound engineer with Hot FM and works very hard I must say. I don't get to see her everyday like when she was studying but knowing that she is just a phone call or an SMS away is always a comfort.
Aishah is a very independent person and very strong headed too. After she returned from her studies in Melbourne she got an idea in her head that wants to live there. With this idea she saved money (she is quite good at that I must add), and has been working towards that goal.
About a month ago, she got news that she finally got her PR which she applied for some few years back. She did not get it for Melbourne but for Adelaide which suits her just fine.
Of course I am happy for her as this is what she wants for herself and what she has been working for since she started work. But honestly, I hate to see her go. I feel like I will lose a very very big part of me. I know, it is not like I will never see her again or we can't go visit or she won't come back for a holiday. I also know there is such sophisticated technology these days -- the internet, Skype, YM and what not.
But it is not the same. It is knowing that she is far away and it is not as easy as saying Please come over and she will be at my doorstep. Sigh! I wonder how my mother feels. Sad too I guess. Of course we will worry, that is what people who love each other do right? Worry ....
These photos were from my recent Baby Shower. Aishah brought me to the secret location and as you can see I was overwhelmed with feelings. She has been here with me through many moments in my life, and I know she will be here for many more to come. But when you are far away how much can you actually physically share. I am sorry if I am being too emotional here (my friends say it's the hormones) but this is my little sister we are talking about. My shoulder to cry on and my shoulder for laughter too. Not only that, she is my little miss fix it round the house too (hehehehe).
I wish you well Aishah, in all your future undertakings. And you know that I will be here for you no matter what. I will miss you terribly and only you know how I feel without having you near me. You are my friend, my confidante, my all and of course my little sister...
It is not very big here lah but I have it. Well too bad I didn't get to physically see him in the flesh but oh well, a signed autograph is more than I could hope for. Thank you so much Anis!
