Sweet. No work today.
I'm contemplating on whether I should go to the nearest shopping center and get a book to read. On the other hand I could just go to the vid store and rent a movie like I did yesterday.
Been reading others posts on their blogs. Friend of mine has been facing much challenging times as an elder brother. If I were to say that my situation was the worst, I'd be lying to myself, cos I'm sure that there are others who are worse off than mine.
I've three sisters. All younger than I am. I've managed to "keep" the eldest of them girls under "acceptable" conditions you may call it[hahaha]. Meaning, I've played my part as a brother whose father is not in the country all the time, and now, she's getting married in November. Alhamdulillah.
The twins. Are lil more hard to manage. Twins as known to be close. They speak for each other, take care of each other. Cover for each other. Heck, I was ever told that if one feels pain, the other reels too.
But there is one of them who is seen as the family's apple eye. To me she gets most of the freedom, most of the luxury of trust. Perhaps it was something that even under my watchful eye as a brother, I manage not to detect at an early stage.
That is why, now, we have to set things right, make it known to them what is expected of them. And a learning point for me is that- Do not be impartial.
Make it fair to all.
Current curfew for all my sisters would be 10.30 in the night.Any later than that would be shoutings at the door as soon as they enter it.
I hate to be the bad guy in the family. Things has gone so bad that my other two sisters? They don't share things with me. Anything at all!
It's a small price to pay for their safety, I hope that they would realize it when they are all really grown.
I used to hate my dad. Not understanding, and not WANTING to understand why is it that he used to shout and scold at me regularly. It finally occurred to me that he does it for a reason, and that reason, puts me at where I am today.
Inshallah. I hope my sisters will understand one day.

The world will face an economic recession.
Have you ever wished that you wanna more out from your normal salary?
Ever wished that you could have more time for your family?-Dont grow bald like me!
I'm starting to dwell on the fact that my life is so much more than just being restricted to doing a certain thing. Perhaps there is the something that each and every one of us are supposed to achieve, but yet to tap on to just yet.
A friend of mine recently recommended me to a job that he claims has rewards and recognition...
How true is it? Let me evaluate it and I'll fill ya guys in.
Rewinding back to last night.
It was 9PM, and my sis was not back home yet. I was not that particular about the time as me and her had come to a consensus that she has to be home by 10.30 . But my mother, apparently stressed at work, and bringing it back home,started nagging about my sister spending too much time with her friend.
10.30 on the dot, she reached home, and guess what? Frenzy broke loose.
My sis got chased out, along with her belongings not to mention with all the yelling.
10 mins passed, my other two sisters decided to find her, they managed to coax her back home, but just to endure with more rantings and shouting from my mother... sheesh.
All those time I was just keeping to myself. I did not want to interfere as she had not violated any of my requests. I told her to be home by 10.30, she did. I appreciated that and I kept to my end of the deal.
I could not longer keep quiet when I was abruptly woken up, by then it was already 1AM. I was told that my sister was chased out of the house again, and that earlier in the toilet she had tried to do something foolish.. and that now they can't find her!
All they knew was that she had gone upstairs..of the flat.
I started to panic, tried not to think of the worst. Without even changing, I went up to the last floor of my flat. Thankfully the twins were there... she was safe. *Phew*
And there I was.. for the next hour or so, talking to my lil sis....
