All right-y mates. The pressure is on this week. with our mid-semester test on the line, it's practically our lives we're risking. haha, no. absolutely not. i was just kidding. Anyway, any genius out there, wouldn't succeed without the most important people in their lives, well besides the need of friends that is. Family, yes. They're the ones who watch us grew up until now. They're the ones who supports us through thick and thin. Who are these people?
(this list are sorted through the most important, 'til the least important. nah, i'm totally kidding. i mean i put my brother on number 3! he's totally not important. HAHA JK)
1. Mother
We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her. Our mother, everyone has one, or two, or more. So anyway, our birth mother, carry us for 7-9 months maximal, and then gave birth to us. very very risky thing to do. They've been carrying a watermelon (that's us) in their belly for a whole of 9 months. tough thing to do. not to mention absolutely heavy. Our mother is the one who supports us, always. Love you mom!
2. Dad
I also wouldn't exist in this world if it wasn't for my dad. You know, the fatherly role in our lives? Well this guy right here, owns it. My dad is also the one who motivates us to go the right way, and to make the most out of our lives (well at least, that's what my dad always told me).
3. Brother/sister
As annoying as they might be, my life wouldn't be complete without the existence of my brainy but annoying brother. I mean, he always, always finds a way to annoy me, in every kind, every possible way possible. But, you know, i rarely say this, but i gotta admit, without this boy in my life, my days wouldn't be as "FUN" as they have been. it would be very lonely indeed. Anyway, good luck to my brother, who's gonna go to India, the country of curry & the magical Taj Mahal, for the Wiz Mic mathematics competition. Hope you bring the gold medal home -for me to sell- HAHA, no. totally joking.
4. Grandma & Grandpa
Our father AND mother wouldn't be here if it weren't for them. And you know what that means, we wouldn't be here too if they're not here right? so give a big applause to your own grandma and grandpa! HAHA. So, in Indonesia, when it's the end of Ramadhan (Eid Mubasrak, the start of the month Syawal-in islam religion), people go to other people's house and celebrate with them. W eat, drink, and talk together. We practically spent around 4 days, going to people's houses. Mostly families or close friends's. As a tradition, grown ups, gave us (childs & infants & teenager! -big surprise there) money!! I got the biggest and the best tons of money from my grandma! Last year she gave my brother & me a hundred US dollars each! this year, is almost the same, but the currency is in Rupiah. so, thankyou grandma, and grandpa. Sadly, my grandpa from dad already passed away. :')
5. Uncles & Aunts
Oh yes, our uncles and aunts are all so very precious-_- from my dad's family, i have around 5-6 aunts and around 8 uncles. whilst from my mom, i have 10-13 aunts and a lot of uncles (HAHA OMG i don't know for sure). Uncles and aunts are also important. They are our parents' brothers and sisters/cousins, or brothers, sister/cousins-in law. Yeah, we must have a lot. Anyway did you know that if my grandma has a little sister, and the sister has only gave birth a year befor i was born, the boy is still considered as my uncle? YEAH, i do have one of those uncle. (hey, uncle billy! ugh so weird) anyway that's the way it is in some parts of Indonesian traditions. Even if i have an uncle who's 5 years younger than me, i still have to call him my uncle. Without uncles and aunts, probably there would be no fun in family meetings & reunions.
6. Cousins
Ah, yes. Cousins! I absolutely love all of my cousins. From my dad's family I have 2 boy cousins. From my mother's I have 2 older girl cousins, 2 younger boy cousins, & 3 younger girl cousins. haha, yes that's a lot. and that's only from my inner family (grandma, grandpa, aunts, uncles, father, mother, brother, sister) yeahh.. i know right. but, you know without my cousins, every inner family meeting would be pretty much pointless. Not fun. At all.
7. Friends
Yeah, I considered my friends as family. Especially my best friends. They are practically one of the closest people in our lives. So i 'labeled' them as my family :)
