I've just realised how much having a brother is like having one of those intelligent home places. You know, those kinds of apartments with all those new-fangled gadgets you only get to see in the movies, where you walk into the house and say: "Lights!" and the lights would miraculously come on.
Well, maybe having a brother is not exactly like that... but it certainly comes close.
For example, when you're in that limbo of semi-consciousness and drifting in and out of sleep just before you actually fall asleep, but you're vaguely conscious of the light in your room still being turned on, but try as you might, you just can't seem to even lift an arm, not to mention dragging your tired ass out of bed to turn off the damn light.... all you have to do in Elysa's wonderful world of brother-torture is mumble: "Hans....." and this boy will obediently trot over to your room and turn off the light for you. Without complaint. :) How cool is that?
Another example: When you're sitting too far from the TV, and you're sick of watching the same ol' adverts coming on in the middle of the show, what do you do? You yell out the channel you want to watch, and the boy sitting at the computer will reach over and change the channel for you.
Not convinced? How about this: The newspaper lady has come for the newspaper money again, and you're busy checking your mail. What do you do? Just say: "Hans, newspaper lady's downstairs" and he will handle the payment for you.
Having a brother rocks. I feel like sylvester stallone in that show... have you heard of Demolition Man? :) If you haven't, its set in 2050, where everything's supposed to be voice-activated.
Of course, Hans hasn't been trained to that standard yet, but its all a matter of time.... all just a matter of time......
*does that intertwining fingers thing with the evil eye expression*
By the way, my dear fans... thank you for all your fan mail. Your support means so much to me. Without you, this would never have been possible. Thank you! Thank you!
*blows kisses while my eyes fill with tears of gratitude*
whahhaahahaha...........................
Anyway, for those who are interested, I brought my mom to a restaurant of her choice, had Thai food. Very simple thing this year. Coz the stupid fat-arsed bugger (my brother) wouldn't cooperate. He even stayed over at a friend's place so we couldn't plan a thing. Hope everyone else had a good Mothers' day.
