my uncle rafi (cik apit!) and cousin jaidaa came down from australia 2 weeks ago, and left early yesterday morning...and i miss them both so much already! because she was a victim of numerous kidnappings from various relatives who shall remain nameless, i didn't really get to bond with her until her last week here. it's probably the "orang puteh" culture but she was so generous with her hugs and kisses and i-love-you's that it made everyone fall in love with her and her very, very spirited character.

at a family gathering at my nani's the day before they left, my parents and i brought 2 big presents for jaidaa and her little brother aidin (who i am dying to meet again) to open together in australia but this little makcik wanted none of it, demanding to open hers right away. when my cik apit stood his ground, she threw a tantrum and kicked and stomped on the present (which suprisingly remained...wrapped). at the airport the next morning, she ran and flew into my arms in a giant hug and said "nadia, i am so sorry i kicked your present last night!" now, how does anyone stay mad at that! when the moment came for them to go, as much as i tried not to cry, i did. kind of a lot (the silent, tears streaming down your cheeks sort, luckily). i carried her and after thoroughly kissing each other's faces, she wrapped her arms around my neck so tight and i said "are you going to miss me?" and she screeched "a lot a lot a lot a lot!" and continued kissing my ear.

i think the hardest part is not knowing. not knowing when i will see her again.
not knowing if she will remember me next week.
not knowing if she will ever love this unconditionally ever again.

what a special girl to have this effect on a lot of people after 2 short weeks!

i miss the little things, really.

the way she says my name. nadeea
the way she refuses to tie her hair and flips it around with one arm.
the way she goes "oyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" when i mess with her.
the way she freaks out when nabillah and i bring up her secret boyfriend.
the way she speaks (like sylvester the cat but with an aussie accent & a blocked nose)
the way she randomly throws herself on peoples' laps.
the way she membebels sendiri
and this jake-canteen pose that i taught her


the night before they left we had a chat on msn and she said this "I LOVE YOU. MY HEART IS BREAKING BECAUSE YOU ARE THE BEST COUSIN IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD" wahlao, how not to be emo?! someone get me a ticket to brisbane stat!

oh and jaidaa?

i love you too.
