Diplodocus

Sisters are a gods angels on earth.
The first time we do anything, can be the most joyous experience. Remember the first time you rode a bike? Or the first time you had ice cream? The first time you saw that sunrise in some long forgotten civilisation? Ok maybe that’s a bit over the top.
But it tends to stay with us, that first time experiences. No matter how hard you can try to forget, the one thing you cannot erase from your memory will be those firsts.
I remember the first time I met my sister, at how happy I was to discover that there was another human being  who could play with me. Teddies and dolls, and masak masak(which we play till today, eh Mrs Brown?). I had been living in Ipoh with the MonkeyCuz and longed to play with a girl my age, after all the robot and car games i was playing everyday.
Little did I know what a tomboy I would be meeting. At first we would fight and punch(she can throw quite a punch!) each other silly. It took a while for us to get along, and it probably happened after Flex had come into our lives.
The first time my dog Flex had found his way to our backyard and stole into our tiny hearts was on a Sunday morning while we were having breakfast. A tiny pup with brown fur and dark eyes looking up hopefully at the Diplodocus and in turn, her big brown eyes begging The Boss to keep the pup. That dog became a part of our lives that stayed  in our hearts till this day. And today, she has brought with her little Shimbhu the Guinea Pig, who is also as cute as a button.
I remember the first days she went to kindergarden. Tadika Ho, with her 2 tiny rabbit teeth sticking out and annoying me at every step of the way we took home when I had to bring her back. At least she combs her hair now.
Her first real home, rainbow houses, may they always be there waiting for you. And not forgetting her first beloved, Chemichu
I remember the  first time she fell in love, and we would have sleepless nights, whispering about the things she had said and done that day. Her sadness, fears and her joys became my own.
To the one person who I know I can share any secret with and would love and care for me no matter what I did. I have been truly blessed to have you in my life and heres to wishing Diplodocus a HappY 28th birthday!
And as promised, heres to secret outings! Long live!
