Life as a Big Sissy

Salam...

Oh haiii... I have been leaving my blog for quite awhile now but I'm not completely back. Just came to realize there's no single entries published for 2015, so yes, let's write at least one before this year ends :D

***************

Alhamdulillah I have completed my course last August and soon to be graduated, so in the meantime I am proud to announce myself as a temporary 'bibik'. My daily routine is basically about keeping the house in one piece other than TLDM ( tidur, lepak dan makan). Luls. But one thing for sure, I just hope to spend more time with the family before I start working. 

Today I went to accompany my little brother to his pre-school graduation day, representing my parents as they were both busy. This little boy kept reminding me to wake up early since the night before. Well I'm glad I did. Hehe.

And this manja boy also led the VIP inside the hall. That was during the opening of the ceremony before he went up the stage to receive his certificate. I continuously reminded him to walk like a boss since the day before, which was the rehearsal day, his teacher reported he was a bit 'shy shy cat'. Haha..

I remember 16 years back during my pre-school graduation day, it was my mom who stood beside me in the picture. She was with me all day long. She even prepared me the speech that I had to deliver in front of the crowd as I was selected to represent the whole class. After all, today was about bringing all those memories back. Blessed.  

This time around, I had to take over her place. Yes, I'm a big sister now. Being an older sibling is fun really. One of the best things is you will get to see how the younger ones enjoy admiring your passion and attitudes. They make you feel appreciated. They make you feel respected and they often cheer up your days with their silly questions and spontaneous acts.

But surely things can get a little haywire at times while handling these kiddos. I have three to handle and there were certain times where I lost my temper. *sigh. When they came back from school and started to throw their uniform everywhere on the floor, I still managed to stay cool. That's normal. They are still kids. When they secretly went into the room, locked themselves from the inside while carrying out their own kind of 'business' and when they came out with the room condition in a total mess, errr that's okay too. The thing is when everything happened in a row, one after another, that was when the bomb inside me started to explode. Hahaha. And a second after the bomb exploded, I would feel bad.

Fortunately, fortunately.. They listened well to me. When I asked them to clean the mess or whatever, they would do it right away. See, that's why I felt bad. I should have not get mad in the first place.

The moment they get me hit the ceiling, I wish I could be more patient. I wish I could hold my anger way better than previously I did. I didn't like it too, having to scold them.

Therefore, in the situation where I feel like blowing up, the first thing I remind myself is to stay calm. And then, make an agreement with them. In order to get access to my ipad, they ought to fix the mess they have done so they will get what they want and I will not get mad. Easy peasy. But that's not always the case unfortunately. Sometimes it doesn't work on that manja boy. Hewhew.. And I have no choice other than being succumbed to his demands. Nasib baik bongsu. Sekian cerita adik-adikku.

Till then, Assalamualaikum.
