The Exception

This guy played quite a big role in my life for as long as I remember. Heck, we even used to live together when granny kicked my family out of the house for reasons I am not sure of.

Not having any older siblings, I had my fair share of bullying from him. Thanks man, you scarred me for life! Here's a few examples. I remember running away from him and his brother while they shoot me with small, thick, folded paper using rubber bands. I was in kindergarten when he conned me into giving him my 50 cents (back then it was worth alot) so that he could buy us junk food. He bought me one Mammee (5 cents back then) and spent the rest on himself. I was too afraid to challenge him then.

However, he was the big brother I looked up to when I was younger. He even brought me out of my cartoon world by showing me my first MTV video! It was Everybody by Backstreet Boys. I thought it was the coolest thing ever back then. He stopped me from listening to nursery songs on cassette by introducing me to Hitz FM then. I felt so grown up then. Heh

Even when he left school and went to college he was always around. Even though we were younger than him he never treated us differently. He would always lepak with us and was our first very own driver who would entertained us. He drove lengths, complained sometimes but he drove the miles regardless!

He was the big brother who didn't mind getting his hands dirty in our mess. He always lends a hand without hesitating, provides brotherly advice and still loves us for who we are.

How could we go through this phase of life without him?

And so, here is a warm welcome to the one and only - Botak-yan! Welcome to this blog!

From,

Mei-yan and the whole gang
