"They are my shoulders to cry on, my joy and happiness, the reason I live."

 

In the year 1980 I was born in a small town called Kampung Kota, I already had an elder brother who is 3 years older than I and a sister 2 years older. In a year I had a little sister and another 5 years I was presented with another sister. There are 5 of us in a family. I happen to be the middle one. Someone once told me that the middle child is always the weirdest. I would prefer to think of myself as the most different one in my family. Let’s just say the Original. He! He! He! As if! Anyway, I love my family. I may be the different one out of the five but we seem to get along just beautifully, so what am I worried about right?
Md Ramli Bin Awang, my father, works as the General Manager of Bumiputra Commerce Kangar Branch. He came home everyday after spending most of his hours during workdays in the office, guarding people’s money. That’s how I always picture my dad at work. But to tell you the truth I have no idea what he does everyday. One thing’s for sure, he manages the flow of the bank, I guess.
Whereas my mother, Siti Nor Rani Bt Muhammad, is a secondary school teacher teaching English to who seem to be a bunch of brats who has nothing to do but make the life of their teachers miserable. They treat their teachers with no more respect than the respect that they have for their friends. I pity my mom to be spending everyday of the schooldays with them. She would always come home and tell me her day's work or incident that happened that either seem to bug her or cheer her.
My big brother, after graduating his Degree in Architecture (UM) is working in an architect firm in Setiawangsa which doesn’t seem to be paying him that well. I wonder what makes him still sticking around. If I were him I would be long gone.
Big sister, Nur Ilyana, is finishing her last semester in Rima College. Graduating her bachelor in Computer and Management. A rather determine person. Tries her best in everything and strive  her best to be the best. Funny too!
Me? Well, still residing in UTM approaching my 3rd year in Landscape Architecture.
The one after me is taking QS in UniITM, Perak. Noor Shafiney is whom we considered as the most craziest among the 5 of us, excluding my parents. She’s always on the upbeat, has the most pleasant personality and has the most funniest sense of humour.
Last but certainly not least the little one which is not so little anymore is in form 2 back in Kangar. Nur Dalila Ayunie, the youngest of us all, always trying to be on top. Strives to the limit to beat everyone else. A very determined young lady.
