"Mee, why am I always sick?" I complaint. Mum replied with a high tone "Who ask you always sleep so late?" and continued to ignore me. The next day, my sis says " My throat feels pain." My parents stopped their work immediately and asked "You got drink plenty of water?" " Need to see doctor?" "Later I buy strepsils for you."

I came back home with a huge smile, "Mee, Pa, you know what happened in school today?" I babbled on with my stories. When I'm done, no one responded but instead, mum said "Keep your shoes in the cabinet!" Did they even listen? My sis came rushing down the stairs with her letters, and yeap, my parents nodded their head and paid attention to her.

Went to a shopping complex, my sis dragged my mum to shoplots. "Hey, do you think I should buy this or that first?" I interrupted " Lol, how many shoes and bags u want?" My sis replied " All spoil d." My mum said " Both also ok, the old one you can give weekye." For once, can I get something new instead of her junks?

Why do people love her more? Why people always compare my sis with me? Why is she always better than me? Somehow there's a light around her, it's so bright that it covers me away. I carried that thought for many years.

Today, I know that I'd never seen what my sister feels when my parents ignores her. The times where I get the attention. When she has to wash my shoes, packed my bags and took care of me when I'm young. My parents love and treat both of us equally, it's just we never realise it. I speak to myself, it's time to be observant, to see things in different perspective, in the good side that I was blinded.

Even when I have to wait on the streets after tuition for hours, I know that my dad had sacrifice his work and time to fetch me. They are trying their best, and as children, let us do our roles too.
