The Day I Found Out I Have A Potential Rival For 'Drama Queen' Title In The Family


Somewhere last week, I found this strange blog-like entry that I didn't write, saved in My Documents.

"Ya tuhan mengapakah ini yang harus aku terima.Inikah namanya kemerdekaan aku dimarah oleh ibu.Aku mahu pergi ke KLCC kerana aku ingin mengibarkan Jalur Gemilang di puncak tertinggi di dunia.Bapa telah cakap kepadaku begini "kalau cabutkan uban abah malam ni abah hantar pergi KLCC". Tapi mengapa dia tak buat apa yang dicakap.

Sampai hati abah buat iqin macam ni abah biar iqin merajuk sorang-sorang dalam bilik lepas tu bukan nak pujuk anak. Abah cakap tarikh lahir iqin sama dengan abah tak pernah melebehkan iqin yang abah tahu suruh iqin cari uban lepastu asyik nak marah iqin suruh iqin kemas bilik. Aku dah cakap dengan semua kawan-kawanku kerana aku ni berlagak,kuat berangan,ego dan sombong.Ya allah patutkah aku cakap begini. Baru tadi ayahku masuk aku ingat ayahku nak memujukku rupa-rupanya menanyekan 'kakak' (this would be me) aku ada dirumah atau tiada. Hati aku betul-betul terluka. Tolonglah aku bagaimana aku nak hilangkan luka di hatiku ini.

Sekian wassalam."


(Note: Published in exact words and order.)

Soon after I discovered this, I printed out a copy and gave it to my dad forcing him to hold a brief family meeting. I read the 'luahan hati' out loud with the most emotional intonation possible and all of us broke into continous half an hour of laughter.

FYI, the writer is my 9-year-old sister, who irons her hair straight every morning using my hair straightening iron before going to school, does crimping and nail colouring on weekends, remembers lines from all Lindsay Lohan movies by heart and dresses like Hilary Duff (don't you think she has a secret blog too?).

They came to a conclusion that, it runs in the family.

I said, "Eh, where gotttttt? I WASN'T like that!"

My mom quickly reminded me how I used to nag my mom to change my hair everytime Feminin changed their hairstlye of a letter I wrote to my dad when I was 11, demanded him to increase my daily allowance from RM1.50 to RM2 if he truly did love me and if I wasn't an adopted daughter.

Analyzing what Iqin writes and watching how she turns out,
I know I wasn't adopted after all.

i used to touch my dad everytime die ade wudhuk just to make sure that i wasn't adopted too.

i guess, it's only normal for the youngest to behave like we do. huargh.

Lol. That's funny. I never thought I was adopted but I did once or twice thought if i was switched at birth. But people keep saying, "eh, you and your kakak looks the same" ran the doubts outta my mind. Which is strange because she looks half japanese and I just look..malayu.

goodness goodness.

this was the exact situation i faced some time ago. only my sister wrote "umi selalu lebihkan wani... dahlah die lagi kecik, lagi cantik. senang dapat boyfriend.. tak macam aku ni.."

haha! that was cruel!

eh, feminin best lah. tak pnah miss satu album pon tau. at that time feminin and kru were gile hot stuff!

i used to call myself 'adopted' too. sampai tokmak cakap "ko jangan cakap ko anak angkat lagi! tau tak susahnya umi besakan ko ni??"

ngeehee.

That 'luahan hati' was so adorable.

And I think that your sister keeps a secret blog, really. Just in case, I'll let you know if I happen to stumble into her.
