Sisterhood

Sisters fight, argue and patch up. They pull pranks on each other. When they are young, the older sister pretty much enslaves the little one, but a little one still willingly obeys orders and still looks up to her older sister. People will think they look alike but they don't think so themselves. They share inside jokes that no one else understands, especially jokes about their parents and relatives. They do the silliest things in the world together. They cry and laugh together. They share their clothes and cosmetics (no, not underwear). They sleep in the same bed especially when they are drunk after parties. They talk about their boyfriends, crushes and ex-boyfriends (and if they ever do get married, of course their husbands). They are honest with each other, even if honest words are not pleasant to the ear. They will phone each other in the middle of the night, and sometimes just to talk about nothing. They can be their true selves in front of each other because they just don't care what impression they make since they have known each other inside out since the birth of the younger sister. They don't do things to impress, they do things to make each other happy. They love each other for who they are.

I am very fortunate to have a sister like her to grow up and grow old with me.

I love you Lulu Tsang.

Nice vs. thoughtful

Being thoughtful is a step further from just being nice because most of the time it involves some sort of sacrifice and a higher level of self-awareness and selflessness.

I consider being nice pretty much as being helpful, friendly and not ill-willed. A nice person will help others out when being asked or he will offer help when he sees an obvious need of someone. However, a thoughtful person is not only a nice person, but will stop thinking only about himself for a moment and think for others as well. He will be more observant of others' subtle needs and emotions and make the move to assist others in any way he can before being asked.

A selfish person can still be a nice person, but a thoughtful person can never be selfish.

Nice people are everywhere. Thoughtful people are the rare ones...
