I actually have tons of things to blog about. But I just
couldn’t bring myself to sit and write more than 140 words. Writing in social
media is getting miniscule by the day that penning thoughts in long sentences
become too tedious. I do not know how writers can do it. I guess I got suck
into this miniscule blog so much so that I lost the desire to write a whole
page of my thoughts.
Well today I decided to break the habit and pen some stories
about my kids. What? You expect me to write something more politically
challenge? Please. You got the wrong blog, man.
Before I start, I just want to warn you early that I’m a bit
high on medication right now. Yes, I still have to take my nerve pain meds due
to my chronic carpal tunnel syndrome. And the meds are making me super relax
and high. Sometimes I would burst out laughing for no apparent reason. Yes.
Awesome right?
Anyway, I do feel guilty for not writing more about Naila.
In this blog, I wrote everything about Kaisan. From his birth to his first
tooth and so on. Ahh the curse of being a second born…
But Naila is so unlike Kaisan. I should really write more
about this girl. She’s so unique, funny, smart and damn opinionated. And I say
that with pride.
She loves being the center of attention that she would shove
her brother aside so she can bask in the glory of people’s admiration.
If Kaisan can sing, she can sing better. She would
spontaneously burst into high pitch song with lyrics that she made up herself
just so she can show she can sing too. Most of the time it’s just gibberish.
If Kaisan gets into trouble for doing something naughty, she
would strut oh so confidently and announce to whoever listening that “Abang is
very naughty and I’m very good. I didn’t do what he did because what he did was
wrong” I know. Super annoying git, right?
If Kaisan have homework from school, she would cry that she doesn’t.
I would secretly take Kaisan’s old exercise book and tell her “Naila, you must
have drop your homework in Abang’s bag. Here’s your book” and she would happily
sit next to her brother to do her homework.
If Kaisan were being taught by me to read, she would demand
that she’s being taught too. And she learned very fast. She already know the
word “BALL”, “ALL”, “CAT”, “DOG”, “BIG” and “CAN”
But however competitive she is, her brother is always her
hero, her best friend, her playmate, her rival and enemy all at the same time.
When she woke up from her nap, the first person she would
ask is her brother. “Where’s Abang? Is he playing outside? Can I play with Abang?”
When she’s been given a treat, she would run looking for her
brother to share her loot. And she’s not stingy with her food.
Oh how she loves food! Whenever we attend a party or a
gathering with food around, she would sit quietly by herself eating and
enjoying her dish. She would be so oblivious with the kids around her playing
coz her food is much, much more important than kids running around.
I always find this super cute. No, she’s not anti social.
She does mix around with kids and able to interact but unlike Kaisan, the super
friendly boy, Naila is quite reserve and selective. She prefers babies or older
people like people my age. Hahaha! The reason is that she likes to talk and she
knows only people my age would interact with her properly.
In school, she calls her teacher by their name instead of
calling them teacher. I suspect this girl doesn’t know her own age…
With babies, she always been fascinated with babies that
often she would come up to me and ask for a “little sister”. Nope! This baby
factory is close, young lady!
Oh there are so many things I want to write about Naila but
I’m almost dead on my butt now. It’s nearing midnight and I’m going to continue
soon.
Ciao!
