Went to watch Huang Cheng yesterday with Chong's little sis, Min. =) The CLDDS performance was totally disappointing, so I have not much to say about it. Just that bringing Min out got me down to thinking about why I'm not close to my siblings at all, but I can click so well with her.
I wonder if it's the age gap that makes the difference. I'm just older than my sister by 2 years, and older than my brother by 4. Whereas Min is younger than Chong by 6 years. I feel that a much younger sibling is really easier to communicate with. Young children's lives are usually so innocent and open that they'll talk to you about everything. There's no need for secrets. The older you become, the more of a need there is for privacy. And that's when you start talking less to your siblings. Sigh. Much younger siblings let you have an oppurtunity to take care of them too. I felt really maternally inclined when I brought Min out yesterday. It's sort of like she was putting all her trust in me to take care of her, and I felt privileged. Honoured, in fact.
Maybe one day, I might be as close to my siblings as Chong is to Min. But I guess the only way that'll happen is if we all break down the barriers between us. And when I stop getting irritated by them.
