Changes

Monday, October 20, 2008

Yesterday, Tok Achid (my grandaunt) held an open house in which my whole family attended (and the maid). The opening ceremony was that morning (only the neighbours attended). When we arrived (about 2 o'clock), it drizzled quite a bit and the neighbours had went home. Other guests (such as the host and hostess co-workers) have not arrived yet. Quite a pleasure for us as it was not crowded.
Anyway, yesterday was also the first time I saw my uncles; Tok Achid's sons (although I dont feel like they and their sisters are my uncles and aunties, more like cousins) in 2 years. WOW! They've changed A LOT!!! I mean, they didn't get any bigger.. but their appearances have certainly changed. And the way they carry themselves (or somewhat like that). It's quite disconcerting, that. Zarfan, who is of the same age as mine (although I think he already turned 16 last September) had always been the cocky, weird, always smiling and absolutely shameless person I've known. But not yesterday. No. He with his spectacles (it made him look more mature - totally freaked me out) just sit properly at the living room and talked but a little. He smiled a little too. He kept his head low and quickly stood up when a new guest arrived... SERIOUSLY! Can people changed a lot in 1 and a half years?! Not only that, his jaw structure had sharpen; it was more prominence. And his eyebrows were more bushy than I remembered. Do I need to say more?
Anyway, his older brother Razi changed too. But it was more of the looks than the behaviour. His always kept hair was longer (touched his shoulder) and well - weirder. His always gangly figure had certainly broaden a bit. Especially the shoulders. Other than that, I couldn't quite figure what other changes had happened. Yet.
So, while I thought of their weird and new - shall I call it - "evolution", I thought about my family. And the changes made in the 1 and half years passed. I know my father had grew more umm... bigger. Not to worry, though! He said he's gonna start working out (Insyallah). He bought a lot of work out equipments and such. Just hope he'll use it. My mother was not quite as thin as she used to be (because of the last pregnancy and because of her - OUR idleness @ saudi) but she is still slim (as a river - as my friend said; weird...), my younger brother by 2 years is taller than me. WAY taller. He grew his facial hair (I just realized yesterday) and he got acne too (THAT, I know). But ONLY on his nose. Weird eh? Hazwan got his glasses. And grew a little bit taller. Haziq - nothing that I've figured out yet. EXCEPT.. wait.. no.. he had always been better in English than in Malay (the whole family are like that ex. babah. he's good with both) Iliya - her front teeth had chipped quite a lot and she got a lot of tooth decay. Sad, really for a three years old kid. She also got thinner (since we moved back to Malaysia). Inaayah is still a baby so she constantly changes. Thus, let's skip her.
Now, last but not least - ME! I'm still figuring it out. My acne problem is no more a problem (well, maybe during PMS but that's it).. Now it's the scars.. Shishh.. I got a bit of a figure I guess =P Hahaha. My weight is still up and down - between 40 and 44 kg. I stopped growing taller (NNOOOOO!!!) at 157 cm.. *sniff* (shorty). I'm more mature, maternal (hehe - yeah, right), helpful (according to my aunts) and my voice changed (my cousins said that while we were talking) and I talked differently - more formal-like (according to my friend(s)). I started wearing mascara and I'm more picky (in the branded stuff). OOHH.. AND now I read romance books.. Euwww, I know!
I guess that's it. During Eid Mubarak.. others' changes didn't stray from my notice either. But, I thought to write just about these 2 guys n my family. Hehe.. Anyways, that's all.
Ciao.
