the one with impact and influence

there are bound to be people who at some point of time placed an impact and influence your view of life. for me, there are many. i learnt alot from them and it has helped me shaped my way of life.

i looked up to both my brothers. they are the guiding light in my life. though i seldom talk to them about my problems, they were the ones i talked to when i needed help and advice. i look at my eldest bro who just got married. i see their relationship as something that is important in sustaining a relationship. one that will see them thru thick and thin, thru sick and old. as what the marriage vow always say. they are testament to that. yes, there are bound to be quarrels and fights but which relationship doesn't. it is all about give and take. suddenly remember joey said something about their love is about giving and sharing and receiving. that cannot be any truer in real life. i can't think of anyone else who are so made for each other than the two of them. although i never really knew their relationship, feeling tells me they are going strong.

i learnt alot from my 2nd brother as well. he gave me great advice in whatever i do. letting me go ahead in things that i feel correct and not restricting my choices. telling me to go out there to do whatever that i feel right and does not have to bother what others think cos it is my choice in the end and i have to be responsible for this chioces. his relationship with joanna is something to look up to as well. an 9 year relationship ending up in marriage soon. i don't know what is their secret behind both their relationships. but i will know one day, when i do get married and give thanks, i will definitely give my gratitude to both of them for being my companions thru the past years. they have no doubt shaped the way i see things, and influence the way i live my life.

but when i looked back at myself, why i just can't be like them?
