Being the Youngest in the Family.

Out of so many blessings that I received, having Timmy and Kelvin as my sibling is one of the BEST!

Being the youngest in the family, I get a lot of attentions from them and also from my mum. I tend to have the attitude of wanting-to-get pampered but I wasn't brought up in such a way, therefore, ain't no pamper-ness here in my family!

Seriously, I missed growing up with my brothers. I don't have much childhood memories of growing up with them, maybe due to the age gap between both of them and I. Sometimes I wonder, how do they feel for having another younger brother? Do they feel excited to have another brother? Or do they get disappointed for not having a sister? My mum told me that actually my family was hoping for a baby girl but instead of getting what they were hoping, God gave them another boy and that's me! I know I wasn't in their plan but I wasn't an accident because I was fearfully and wonderfully created by God with a great purpose! And also because God wants to have the relationship with me, that's why He brought me to this world to enjoy His unconditional love.

My childhood memories with Timmy; He was the one who taught me how to cycle. One night, I remembered that I was with him on a bicycle and we were on our way to get something; suddenly we saw a snake on the road and both of us were so terrified! I am truly thankful and blessed that he brought me to Christ when I was 11 years old and my life was transformed gradually since then. 
Today; We are the bestest buddy! Sharing jokes and laugh out loud together, jokes that only both of us will understand. He always make sure that I have a proper meal and he even fetch me out to get McDonald's every time when I am hungry in the middle of the night. I thank God for the courage to make the decision to moved to Petaling Jaya to work and what a blessing indeed that I get to spend so much quality times with him before he is moving to his next stage of life of being a husband. Frankly, I am not ready to let him go but I know that he will be in good hands, someone who loves him very much and will take really good care of him!

My childhood memories with Kelvin; One very memorable moment with him was when we saw some kind of flying object that looks like U.F.O. that flew above us and we were chasing after it. No one actually believe on what we had saw as we were told them especially the adults. I used to play with him quite a lot especially with my toys.
Today; He is someone whom I miss very much especially spending time together. We are staying 349.7km away from each other. Thank God for technology where we get to keep in touch from time to time. It is always my mum's desire that I can go over to Singapore and work, so that I can accompany him, which is something that I wanted to do too but sadly it didn't come to past because I wasn't granted with the work permit to work there. Anyway, I am truly thankful that last year, God blessed us two special occasions where we get to spent some quality times together, one was our Hong Kong trip and another one was celebrating his birthday at Singapore and I am looking forward to more of it.

My dad didn't do much for his part as a father but I am thankful for both of them to fill in the gap in modelling me. Although I always refraining myself from getting pamper by both of them but I do enjoy getting their attention, well, being the youngest in the family, I always have the tendency to be pampered and spoiled at times. :P
