My little mini-me,

Someone's finally 13!

I won't say time has flown by because i can remember most of the past 13 years. That's the advantage of being much older than you; Being older not only allows me to order you around, I can appreciate and remember every moments (some better than most.. like the time you tattled on me, you little piece of.... i've nearly forgotten that).

Hence, i can proudly comment on the time you crawled off the bed when i wasn't looking or fell when being pulled ard in the yellow band wagon or even the times when all it took to make you gurgle with laughter was to put you in a blanket and juggle. There was a time we could fool you in pretending that we could do magic and the times you actually ran into the glass window (By gawd, that was funny).

So! despite all the times i made the joke (about how we had a dog and mummy had you so we had to choose between the dog and you. and unfortunately, they chose you.), i just wanna say that life has been so much richer with you in it. Truthfully though, jie jie and i always wanted a baby sister and we were super happy to find out that mummy was pregnant then. We prayed so hard for a sister that if you were a boy, i tink i would have burst into tears then. Sometimes, i think about the amazing coincidence about how we all came into this family when we could have been born to someone else. I thank God that you and not anyone else came into our family.

Thanks for all the fun and silly times where we would just muck around or the bitching sessions on your bed. Thanks for putting up with all my teasing (like my Audrey songs, and the times i run ard screaming "my ears my ears! stop! i'll tell you anything you want" when you were practicing piano) and "adoption" jokes and bullying. Thanks for being such a good sport about the whole thing. Thanks for laughing and not taking the ribbing seriously. Another girl would have cried.

I can remember the many times you had me bursting out in laughter with your antics like bursting out of ur blanket as a butterfly and the bimbotic gesture (That still cracks me up).. Of course, there are the recent incidents. I am still a little sore at being forced to sign your good deeds book. I need to explain this bit. Audrey, is supposed to be a girl guide trainee. And they had to keep a "good deeds" book for a month. That little prat went to switch off the lights and fan in my room while i was still in it and happily trotted off. When i shouted for her to switch it back off, she happily pranced in to do it and proceeded to write down "switched on lights for my sister" and asked me to sign it. The nerve! AND! Splitting washing up after dinner into "helped my sister wash her plate" and "helped my sister wash her cup" is not acceptable.

Nevertheless! I'm honestly very proud to be your elder sister. No one in our family has been as intelligent and well rounded as you. You have managed to progress from a chicken mohawked baby to a (insert own adjective here, im not gonna make ur ego swell) teenage girl. Guitar, piano, drums, dance, good in chinese and english.. It's amazing what you do in your spare time!

You really deserve the best and i hope that as you become a teenager, you will get to enjoy every single moment of it. Hell, you only live once. So hang on tight to this rollarcoaster we call life, cause the teenage years are one hell of a ride!

PS. i do hope you realise that i AM "borrowing" that bag. and earrings.

PSPS. i will still disown you if you say or type "farkzzzzz"

PSPSPS. this post does NOT entitle you to borrow my clothes without permission.

still love you! :) *MUACKS*
