MY FAMILY
I have quite a big family. My family originally consists of eight people but the amount increases as we welcome two new members in the family. In the beginning it is just my parents, my two brothers, three sisters and me. The new members are my brother in law and my nephew. My family is something that I cherished the most and they are basically the people who make me feel like I’m the luckiest person in this whole wide world.
We can be considered as a mixed blood because my father has Indian blood in him from his grandfather and my mother is Malay. However, my siblings and I don’t have the Indian look at all and most people will not believe us if we say that our ancestors are Indian. The weird thing is my sister looks a little bit Chinese instead of Indian. My family has moved a few times from a state to another. That is why we know how to speak some of the different Malay dialects in Malaysia. I guess that’s one of my family’s uniqueness.
My family is fun just as it is. We could just sit in the living room talking about everyday matters and we can have fun just like that. We usually cook together in weekends and the kitchen will be full with my family members. I’m grateful to have brothers that are not like typical men who don’t enter the kitchen and help the women cooking. Everyone in my family loves to talk. The way we talk is also different from others. Sometimes, I think my family are politicians because there are times where we talk like we’re in a debate competition. Sometimes, we talk in a very educated way about politics, economics and many more which I think is good and fun at the same time.
There are times when we have fun and there are times when we share our frustrations. For me, my family is the best when it comes to motivational talks. My father especially is the best motivator in my family and I listen to him because he had many experience and had face a lot of hardships in life. We can rely on each other even when distance kept us apart because my siblings are working and studying at different places. Even when one of us wants to make a decision and can’t figure out what to do, we always ask each other. I still remember my sister video called me on the phone just to ask for my help on which bag she should buy.
Nothing beats your own family. People can say that their family is better but I think everyone says their family is the best. I feel very grateful to God for giving me a family that makes my life colourful. They are my endorphins and there’s only one word that can best describe my family. My family completes me.
