You can choose your friends but you can't choose your family

i'm sure many of you agree with the above statement. i am all for it. why? coz my dear 1 and only sister can be such a dunkoff at times. sigh.... what did she do now right?

she chose to embarrass me in front of some of dad's friends who happened to be some VIP last night without realising that her plans failed. Worse, instead of being embarrassed by her own mistake, she wasn't even aware of it and insist nothing was wrong. Talk about ignorance and being a fool. now, you will be thinking the 'WH' questions... why did she do that... what was her purpose in that.. why didn't she use her head more.

i seriously do not know if my sister has the right... ehem.. up there. this is the same person who has way above average IQ and was sent to some special exclusive camp for smart kids in Morib when yours truly couldn't even pass the same iq test (ok, i exaggerate... my test result came back as either just slightly above average, average or perhaps slightly below average). the really low iq kids get to go to an entirely different camp. anyways, they didn't call me to the camp or any camp for the matter. i'm not talking about once off exam. i think i took the exam twice!

this is the same person whom i can never beat in language, music, art or even ballet and our sibling cat fights. i thought sibling rivalry ends when you grow up. apparently not in my sister's case. perhaps she still thinks i'm my parents favourite child.

it brings me back to one of my favourite movie, Gattaca. sometimes i just wish my sister is really like ethan hawke's character in the movie who will one fine day beats his sibling by his account rather than trying to go about with some smear campaign.

oh... and excerpt from the movie Gattaca where the imperfect DNA brother said to his perfect DNA brother "Is the only way you can succeed is to see me fail?"

(hey sis, in case you're reading this somehow, Happy 29th birthday girl. i really think it's really time for you to grow up!)
