Brothers Reunited

Boy and Adik

After 11 years, they get to meet each other again. I took the title from Boy's flickr set. I've been saying this again and again and I'll say it again, I wish I was there... Eleven years... a lot of things have happened. People change. Everything else change. Like the saying that goes something like, 'Changes are constant' or is it 'The only thing that's constant is 'change''. You get what I mean. It gives me a warm and fuzzy feeling looking at the pictures where my brothers stand next to each other, all grinning from ear to ear. I'm sure they had a good time as what I see in the pictures. No broken bones. Renewed appreciation for siblings. Boy didn't use any of his kung fu chops on Adik.

Looking back at old times, I remembered how miserable Boy made Adik's life; with constant bullying and harassing. And now, looking at the pictures, I'm proud to say that that's all in the past. (I hope). It's true what they say, "Absence makes the heart grow fonder".

I guess everybody did their growing up along side with growing old. "Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional". I wonder, after years of American food, and now health food, how would Boy's stomach react to the sambal ikan bilis that I made for him...
