sweet 姐姐

brought the gals out to a big toy shop yesterday... we had no intentions of buying anything there... jus there to see... and to get out of the house...

joanna has been asking for a pair of boots and a bag since we arrived here... it's not easy looking for a pair of boots for her... as her feet are too large for kid size... and too small for adult size... bag... cos she has no other bag than her knap-sack which she uses for school...

so while there... she spotted a bag and i thought that it was rather reasonably priced... and said she could get one... then rachelle wanted one too... but i said no as she has one brought over from home... then she became upset...

to make the trip a little sweeter for rachelle... i let her buy a pretty little notebook... and then joanna wanted one too... haiyo... made me so mad... this will never end..!

so i said no to joanna... and gave rachelle 1000yen to go get her notebook... leaving a sulking joanna with me...

as rachelle was taking a long time... i went up to see... she was jus at the check-out... looked at me... and said that she had bought 2 notebooks... one for joanna too... so sweet la this gal... but with my money worr...

i later realised that rachelle has bought 1 for herself... then realising that she still has enough money for another one... went to get one more for her sister...

i told rachelle not to tell joanna yet... let it be a surprise for her when we get home...

but joanna's chin was about to reach the floor already... she was still sulking... so i let rachelle tell her that she has gotten one for her too...

wad i witnessed for the minute was amazing... warmed my heart... =)

immediately after rachelle had whispered in her ear... joanna turned to hug rachelle... and with tears in her eyes... repeated 'thank you 姐姐!' many times...

then when i walked over... joanna turned to hug me... this time crying already... and thanking me oso...

so funny ah this gal... happy until cry... haha...

but it was nice to see lar... that's rachelle lor... though she does not always display it... she actually loves joanna a lot...

and i know that it true for joanna too... =)
