adik the quiet one

Hmm... quite difficult to explain about adik. she is the quiet girl, the one who keeps her thoughts to herself. maybe she is like caught in the middle of a few other siblings. she is alone, does not really belong to the big brothers and sisters and not really fit in with alin and ayish.

Adik was left alone when she was in primary school, always managed herself when she came back from school, had lunch alone, studied alone and waited until evening before we came home. thus, we did not focus much on her, unable to do that because of our limited time. When she did not do well in her UPSR, both of us felt so guilty, realizing that she did not get the attention she really deserved. we hope now she is in secondary school, her interest in her studies improves.

She is now in an evening session so again we rarely have time for her. when she arrives in the evening, it is already nite. umi is busy getting ready to go to tok's house. in the morning umi returns, she is still asleep. umi and abah leave for work. she goes to school by bus.at nite, sometimes, abah gets the chance to check on her homework but it is really, really rare.

Adik's contribution to the family for now is only putting all the folded clothes ( done by akak) inside our closet, being paid rm20 per month. haha cheap but that is for a start. later when the sisters leave the house, she will be incharge of everything so the pay will be increased.....
