1. There's a person to carry your bag

This is probably the most wonderful thing for bringing my brother with me. He took care of all the heavy stuffs! I am usually filled with a few of cameras and cosmetic pouches inside my bag but with a healthy young boy around *lol*, I can let him to bring it for me everywhere without feeling guilty because he's obliged to do so

IF I go with my friend, I can't act so princess-like of course, I have to bring what I bring, even though the camera might be used for my friend/s as well. And when I'm out with my mom, of course I can't let her to bring anything. With him, I could just ask him to bring anything, in fact he's the one who offered himself to help too! And I wont feel guilty for that 

2. Skinship is normal in society eyes 

I get tired quite easily and I wear heels wherever I go, even my sneakers have heels more than 5 cms. Therefore I always need to grab someone's arm whenever I walk a lot. With my brother, I can do it very normally and nobody can judge our skinship lol 

Also I sometimes hug my brother or just lie on his chest when I feel tired waiting for the long line at Universal Studio, which might be an eyesore for some if I do it with a guy. BUT he's my brother what lol I can cuddle without shame haha

3. He lets the silent mode of me activated

When I am with my mother, friends, or even with a guy, it's hard for me to have the silent me. I always talk because IF I dont talk, people keep thinking that I am mad or upset about something. And my mother cant not talk to me but in fact I need a silent moment when I am daydreaming about useless thing lol 

There's just this moment when you just dont want to talk for a moment during the trip, because you're so tired. With my brother, I dont play games where the person sometimes dont talk to the other just to show that they want attention. When I am in silence, so he is, and it's normal. But when we see something good, then we start being excited and talk a lot again. This is something precious that a certain relationship can't have, but this is also because we dont always talk even at home, so the silence is nothing awkward for us lol

4. No need to take care of him!

Well, I still take care of him during the trip but I realize he's much more independent than before we went on a trip together. Part of it maybe because my mother doesn't speak english and she needs me to do everything for her whenever we're traveling abroad. Simple stuff like buying stuffs and finding toilet would be quite difficult for her. As for me, I had gone to trip with some of my friends before but even though they speak english, they still need to rely on me because they thought I am the best english speaker among them? Which those events turn out annoying after a while and later I get pissed off

For my brother because I am always this careless person and I know he speaks english as well, and he can associate with people better than me, I have no difficulty letting him doing anything. He wants to go to toilet, he just goes. He wants to ask for directions, he asks. He wants to buy stuffs, he can check everything by himself before buying one. The one thing he asks is the money later on lol 

5. I have all the advantages during the trip

I am tired and there's only one seat at MRT? It's mine!

I am hungry and I want to eat more of his food? Give it now!

I want to shoot more and more pictures of me using my camera? Take it and you better shoot good

I dont want to carry the bag? You better do it

Now I feel like I'm slaving my brother lol BUT in fact well it is. I mean, he is strong, and young. If there's a seat in MRT with my mom, I had to let her do it otherwise I'd be called bad daughter by society. Or even if with friends, would be quite bad if you get your own seat while your friends dont. Major point in here is my brother is younger than me and I paid for stuffs *uhuk* LOL so I realize I have the upper hand and he cant disobey me XD This kind of feeling is very different when I pay for my mom

Even if I pay for my mom's trip, she doesn't say thank you and I cant ask her to be grateful because I already owe her my life. Also even if I pay, she thinks of it as normal thing, and I still have to provide more and more fun for her. HOWEVER with my brother, he shows grateful and happiness hahaha
