my absolutely terrifying vivacious thai cousin is back and is more potent than ever!

this precious cousin of ours has got to be one of the loudest, most happening and firecracker-bubbly 12yr-old around these days. she is so different from our american-accented-angmoh spouting P6s who probably has 10 classes to attend everyday so all they can talk about is mathematics and algebra and the 345678 ballet classes they have to attend every week. my cousin, lydia is so special, and far from english-spouting (she abhors it).

well, for one, she is very carefree (don't care about her image), interesting (uncouth to the max! yes, she surpasses me haha), endearing (man-handles her cousins) and extremely sociable (talkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkative). i haven't seen such a girl except for those make-believe korean shows that feature "sassy" girls whom every guy falls in love with and every girl wants to become (believe me, you know these shows are farcical when you have a fabuloso cousin like mine). she kind of drives all of us insane; but you know what? i haven't seen such a genuine person for a very, very long time.

my dear cousin is such a real soul. she has no pretence and what she says is what exactly she thinks. well, of course the older she grows, the more tricks she has up her sleeves; but her truthful and honest character really endears her to me (and her 2 other jiejies, angie and est). where can you find such a person who opens up to you with such genuinity these days? hardly. i truly appreciate her presence more and more every time she comes back to singapore. and of course, when i meet more and more fake and superficial people around.

but that is besides all the snoring when she is sleeping, all her crazy antics when i have a 2000-word essay to hand up the next day or even her NUMEROUS phone calls when i am watching a dance concert. yup. haha.

but yes, lydia is still my/our all-time favourite little (regardless her stunning 1.51m height at 12 years of age) cousin. really heart her to the max!
