Isabel Maria Kakak


She is worth a story, let me tell you that.

Isabel is my neighbour's only kid. The father is an Indian from Perak and her mother is a Bidayuh from Serian. The product, Isabel Maria. Isabel has the typical feature of Indian, curly hair, big round eyes and an anklet. Very Kuch Kuch Hota Hei. But she also has the typical feature of Bidayuh, fair skin, sculpted eyebrow and high nose bridge.

When I asked her whether she's an Indian or Bidayuh, she would tell me off that she's an Indian.
Few months later, I asked the same question, and she said, "I'm a Bidayuh-lah" proudly.
I think for now, she's very certain that she's a Bidayuh unless other things come her way.

Then, her mother is pregnant with a second child. I didn't know that soon but soon enough to know Isabel's prediction. During my last holidays term in Kuching, she was hailing all over that Ryan Christensen Adik is coming. And Isabel changed her name to Isabel Maria Kakak. Fascinating since she is a kakak soon. So I thought okay, it's a boy. Would be good for Isabel to have a brother. So I asked my mum when did her mother go for scanning? She said they have not known the gender for sure at the moment.

So Ryan Christensen is her imaginary baby brother.
AWESOME, I know. I was so convinced.

Finally when the mother went for scanning, it was really a baby brother. Her prediction is so accurate that she wanted to play yo-yo with him. In the womb. The baby name mentioned above will be registered officially.
That's DOUBLE AWESOME.

Her family tree is so terrible that she calls her brother, her daughter. No matter how many times I correct it for her, she would argue that he's her daughter. And her mother is her son. What a girl!

Isabel is so smart that she comes up with an awkwardly unaccepted theory. Why? 'Coz according to her, Bidayuhs like number 7. NUMBER 7. She goes around telling people that Bidayuhs like number 7, confidently. And it's so untrue but she self-proclaimed that it's true. No one can say no to her, not even me =.= {p.s I hate number 7}

So apparently this Bidayuh girl will turn out to be a very smart person. Hope to see her as a Bidayuh lawyer in the future. Astro Ceria played an important role in her life, let me tell you that. 

She calls her home Batu Kawa, and my home, mummy's house.

P.S Her name is specially highlighted in blue, because she refuse to like other colour, except Blue.

And I dreamt of her yesterday. Must have missed this chatterbox mucho.
