My Younger Sister

Something urged me to blog about my younger sister today, Eloise. 19 years old, young and currently doing her Foundation in Arts in UTAR. She has always been our concern since she is the youngest and a baby sister to Kay, Yen and I. I would say that she and I quarreled the most back in the younger days over trivial matters. Trivial matters include who will feed the tortoise? Who will make the bed? Who will do the dishes and so on. She and I share the same physical features. In fact, all of us do. We have the same big round brown eyes inherited from my mother. The similar face bone structure, nose and lips shape. Many said I share the most resemblance with Yen and Eloise. There was one time when Yen and I were sitting in the foodcourt and a lady who was selling  noodles came to us, pretended to wipe table and asked us...are we twin? We were both shocked and found it funny to be asked that way, we replied no and our year gap is 1 year. Kay and I look almost the same too even though she has smaller face and I must say, a slimmer body already. The recent event that made me wanna blog about Eloise was that a friend of mine, Alex could tell that she is my sister without introducing who I was in the conversation. Holy, to the extend? Well, she was at the SMI Centennial Fun Fair when a friend of hers, Joey, introduced her to Alex. Alex could tell that we are siblings by looking at her face. When he told me this, I was a bit taken aback...really? to such an extend? I told myself. Honestly, I must say that all my 3 sisters are pretty ladies and when someone said I resemble them, I am kinda proud. Thanks to my parents who gave me beautiful sisters. The lower left pic is me and the lower right pic is Eloise.




See any resemblance between us? Just 2 years gap...

Being a brother, I must say that I am protective over my sisters. Growing up with ladies for the last 21 years made me sensitive when it comes to manner. Not to praise myself but I do find myself to have the tendency to wait for the girls who are left behind when walking. I will just wait for them to catch up before I proceed. Maybe majority of guys do the same but I do find out that some of my friends who happen to be guys, will not wait for the girls even though they are left behind. To me, it is very rude. Well, sometimes they do wait but only for pretty ladies. Guys who leave girls behind are not courteous. Eloise occasionally attracts swarm of 'bees'. Let me get things straight, I dun like guys to approach my sisters. I know some of you reading this might be my friends but I just wanna make things clear. She is my younger sister and as an elder brother, I am obliged to protect her so I will easily get discomfort when guys approach her and ask for her number. Well, I dun go hit the guys but I will listen to what she says about the boys she meet. Obviously I cannot control her social circle but I stalk the anonymous guys who try to approach her on Facebook. If Kay, Yen and I dislike the guy or feel that he has something else on mind, we will advise her to stay away from him. I have friends who added her on Facebook without my knowledge too which somehow made me uncomfortable when I found out. It is ok if she is not harassed in any ways but I just feel unease at first. I am not so worried for Kay and Yen. Kay is mature enough to think of her own and choose her life partner and Yen is a solid-type material. She doesnt fall for anyone's trick easily. I must say, she is the toughest sister in the family. On the other hand, Eloise is always the youngest and prone-to-be-protected in our eyes especially our parents'. My parents have always asked us to keep an eye on her as elder sisters and brother. In conclusion, I am not protecting her to the extend of limiting her social circle but I am easily get discomfort when someone tries to approach her. When she joined my friends and I in an outing, I kept her a distance away from my friends. Need not to be so close to someone you just knew, time will tell.
