Can anyone tell me, is poly life really that busy? Because I realised that I've been seeing lesser and lesser of my brother ever since he entered poly. Sometimes, I only see him once or twice a week when we are actually living under the same roof!
Foreign Bodies, a dance group in NYP that my brother has put his love, life and soul into. In the first place, this dance group was the main reason why he chose NYP. Since young, this brother of mine loves the stage. I remember how he always jumped at the chance to perform in school, whether it's Chinese New Year Celebration, Teachers' Day Celebration or whatever celebrations there were.
Standing at 1.88m at the age of 19 this year, he has a thinking of his own. All along, he does not like people to nag at him. I shall say, he enjoys freedom. After entering poly, he started coming home late almost everyday. It started with him reaching home at around 11pm and now, he will only reach home at after 12am.
With regards to this issue, Mum and Dad had a few quarrels. Dad will blame Mum for not calling my brother to get him to come home earlier, and if she does call, my brother will never answer the phone call. I'm not sure if it's on purpose or he really did miss that call. Mum and me had spoken with him a few times over this coming-home-late issue but it does not seems to help at all. Whenever we touch on this, he'll have lots of excuses saying he's busy with dance, preparing for competition. Dad is so upset that now, he's hardly talking to my brother. Sometimes I think, if brother is busy and coming home late because of studies, Dad will probably have nothing much to nag about.
My maternal side family had a plan to go to Desaru this Thursday for a short getaway. But brother just told Mum that he has decided not to go. Reason being, he's preparing for a competition! I can see the look of disappointment on Mum's face, but what can she do? I'm upset because this trip was decided more than 3 weeks ago! Oh well, all I can say is, this brother of mine, he's no longer the little kid brother that I used to have. He's now all grown up with a strong thinking of his own.
I just hope, he can stop and think for his family. A family that truly loves him. If only he understands so that Dad and Mum can stop worrying.
