Malaysian Wife, Australian Life

Having my youngest sister, Limah here has been truly fantastic so far. First up, i made her read the Twilight series so that i have 'geng' to gush about Edward Cullen (driving Michael even more insane!). Secondly, altho being the youngest entitled her to be a bit spoilt, she's actually excellent with housework. She's been helping me with the laundry, vacuuming, stacking dishes in the dishwasher, help preparing meals, garbage duty etc. She's also been very comfortable during the weekdays doing her own thing while Michael & I are both at work. Of course i can't help calling her every freaking time making sure she's all good. But she's fine & more than capable to take care of herself -catching the train to shop around the Shire, hanging out with my MIL, Imelda or even just entertaining herself at home with Wii, TV Shack, the many DVDs, the internet & Edward Cullen. I always hafta keep reminding myself that she's already 22 and not 12! I th...

Guess what? My lil sister Limah - is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, she's here in Sydney. She arrived yesterday morning and will be here for about 1 month! She bought with her 20kg bag full of RAYA goodness from my ma & pa & sisters & everyone back home. WOOOHOOO! I have absolutely ZERO knowledge that she's coming. She was my big surprise Eid + Xmas gift that Michael has been keeping from me for the past 3 weeks. Im still shocked by it all and how he's successfully pulled it off. I did not know about it at all till i actually saw Limah pushing her trolley down the ramp of the arrival hall. He's been scheming with my other sister, Wa, who didnt even breathe a word to me about it eventho we've been in constant contact few days leading up to Raya (so much for sisterhood loyalty!) but i know it's killing her as much as it's killing Michael keeping this wonderful surprise from me. Michael was so over the top he even went behind my back and cont...

Im sure a lot of my friends & fam back home are still on Raya hols. Im back at work 2nd day of Eid. I would've loathe going back on 2nd raya day if i was back home but here, i guess Im ok. I don't really need to take more than 1 day off, not like we have any open houses to go to. :p The night before Raya was probably the hardest bit. I was trying to call home but with no success. I was trying to do stuff around the house but dunno what. Between SMS'es with my sisters giving me updates - mopping the floor, making last min honey cornflakes cookies with my nieces n nephew, main bunga api etc.. I knew exactly what i would be doing if i was there. For a lot of years, it's always been me & my 2 lil sisters - Wa & Limah. Even if my other bros & sisters were not around (in laws' turn), the 3 of us would always be there with ma & pa. Our last task would be to bring out all the raya drink glasses, plates & cutlery, fill up the balangs with kuih raya ...
