For those of my friends who know my family background, they grew up understanding that my Brother and I don't communicate much. Due to our age gap, I doubt he'll know what I am going though. Further more, perhaps because he's a guy. So...I have this mindset thinking that Guys don't understand girls much. I forgot when is the last time my brother and me have a really casual chat. My images of my own brother are very faint. I only remember him as the quiet, obedient and Mr-Nice-Guy type of person.
Whenever I came home from work, I would always never fail to go into his room to have a peek. I am so used to doing that, seriously, I don't know what I do that for? I only want to be assured that he's home. That's all. Or other times I would went to his room to play with his now only hamster. He has 2 hamsters but sadly one of them passed away last month(and THAT happened to be my favourite chubby hamham!!!) The only hamster left is being left out and feels lonely. I think she also misses her only companion. But she is also the one that makes my brother and me worried one day when she suddenly goes missing from her cage. Only to find her in another cage! It is very impossible for her to either jump or climb down from my brother's table to that cage! As the other cage is on the ground away from her original cage. The only way she could get into that other cage, is to wait for someone to "carry" her there. Until now we still don't know how on earth did the hamster manage to get into another cage without anyone "transporting" her.
Recently, when I came home from work, I went to his room as usual. To see whether he's at home. He suddenly said,"How's your day today Jie?"(Which he never ever ask me before) "Is everything ok at work? How's work? Tough? Did Boss scold you?" I give him a confuse expression before answering him. But strangely, I find myself sharing with him more things than I intended to. For the first time, I am able to chat with my brother like old friends catching up with one another's life. He has grown much more than what I have expected. He has become chatty and have a sense of humour. Maybe a little lame or cold jokes. But somehow, even a normal day-to-day chat like that from him, make me feel much better. He has his own ways of comforting me. I feel blessed to have a brother like him. Even though we might not talk much but at least he understands me.
One thing I notice is that, either my nose is extremely sensitive or I don't know what? I am able to smell "things" that people don't. I discover my this unique sense of smell when I was 8. But only realize it recently when I keep probing Khair about something. I think my senses are starting to fail. Maybe my smell too. I don't know. If it was to be really so unique about it, what's the use for it? I don't understand. If I ever recognise certain frangance, I can immediately name it. Sometimes I am right and other times I am wrong. There's only a kind of perfume that makes my nose sensitive. I am trying to figure it out which is the perfume that makes it so?
