How's ya relationship with ya sibling like? Close bond? No bond? or half bond? Hmm... How do u measure ya closeness with ya sibling? Talk often? Play around together? Always having a topic to talk about? Or just.. caring deep in your heart?

Went home today, and my parents was talking about my brother. They commented that he don't usually call home unless he wanted a ride home or he wanted something from us. Hmm.. so i messaged him and told him that mum n dad miss him.. and if it's possible, to call them, n i was rather glad he did.

He called mum when we were shopping at turf club giant. I can c the genuine smile of mum, and the great joy in her eyes to hear bro's voice. Bro then told her about the tough life he's leading now. He got no one to talk to. He got stress at work. He have to stay at tuas in the ship. His clothes is smelly. He cant dry his clothes. He cant come home for 1mths. He's sad. Poor bro. It's so unlike him. He's usually a crappy and happy guy who always seems to have loads of jokes to entertain those who's around him. He changed... as his surrounding change, n situation change.

When he entered Navy, physical training seems still okay for him. What seems to really ... stress him out is.. using his brain and having to make things work. Pressure dampen his mood. Mum is so so so so sad when she heard from him about what he's going through. Mum felt bad about not being able to help him at all. She can only talk to him , and tell him to try not to focus on his misery, and to talk to his wife. Look at the better side of things.. It'll pass by soon. Poor brother.

I really felt sad just by hearing my mum's conversation with him. I smsed bro after their phone call, telling him that mum's happy to hear his voice, and that... we're supporting him all the way, and that's he's not alone. Just wish that life would be better for him and that he would be home soon. Kinda miss his crap too.

My bro and i got a rather... common sibling bond. We played together since young. Kinda got alot of fights. I was always the one that bullied him when we're young, and things change when he became much BIGGER in size. Hee. Then, when he got gf, of cos he care more bout her. Then... when he got ROM.. he's usually with his wife. But, all the same, he's part of this family. When he's home, i usually ask him for favour like call him dl stuff. Eh... there's less quarrel and more compromising. It's rather a mutual kinda relationship. But.. i don't really feel that he's suffering until now. Maybe it's because he always have a rather good life, so he's not used to... tough life like this.

Family is something that we really need to put as top priority. There's always LOVE somewhere between family members although most of the time, we don't show it. Love ya family and let them know u care wor~!
