The only reason i'm still in AJ is because this is Singapore.
you MUST have at least a decent (uni cert) qualification.
The only reason i'm still dragging my sorry ass over to school.
its because YOU! u like to to compare me with others!
and i mean you, ah ma!
"other ppl's son/daughter blah blah blah~"
"you see how well ur cousins are doing, why arent you?! blah blah blah~"
"i'm doing all these for you, in hope that u are going to do well in ur studies! blah blah blah~"
"if u dont want to study, then u go work and move out, into your parents'! they got an xtra room! blah blah blah"
"you are my only embarrassment, after successfully raising 3 children! blah blah blah"
"Even your auntie. her husband. ur uncle can do it, why cant u just do it?!!! blah blah blah"
B.L.A.H. B.L.A.H. B.L.A.H
u know what?
i dont freaking start to love math and decide that math is a better friend than a human since young, so i'm not like aunt they all!
i dont have a branded secondary/jc teacher as my parents, so i'm not like my cousins!
i'm born here, not by will but by ur own son's fault! that's why i'm like this, not like others!
when did i EVER said i didnt want to study?! i just dont want to study the norm!
u freaking think that i dont know my parents got a spare room in their freaking house?!
well, F.Y.I i inherited the worst genes from my parents, and that is ur SON and his WIFE! and F.Y.I.Again, ur son is only a sec 2 student, not even a graduate! call that successful?
when i told u i needed tuition
u said "others/ ur aunt they all also dont need when they studied!"
then reluctantly found me one that gave me ans that teachers in school does not accept well.
just a few weeks before promo.
when i was feeling down just 1 yr ago,
all u said were "how come u cant cope?! the others are doing well right?"
IF I REALLY WERE SOMEONE ELSE, THEN WHAT THE F WOULD I STILL FACE THESE?!
of course its because i'm still this useless me!
people envy my life, so i boasted w/o the bloops.
that made me happy.
made me feel like i had the world.
UNTIL i came back home and without fail, an annonymous force would turn that smile upside down.
i envy other people's life.
i especially envy those who got supportive family.
dont blame me for treating u like shit.
even though u are old.
u complained that "u have to look at mood and work with it"
"everyone said i have a bad temper"
"everyone is increasingly hating u"
so what?
uncle hates me now, but a part of me is him!
the irritating part that picks on others. the sacarsm. the looking-down.
aunt hates me now, but a part of me is her!
the arrogant attitude. the fiery temper. the rudeness.
havent u ever heard of 近墨者黑,近住者赤?
it just so happen that i can only see these sides of them.
that's why i'm influenced this way.
i know that aunt is smart, because u boasted about her to me, as well as she boasted herself to me.
i know that uncle is successful because i heard u guys said so.
but the only reason why i like uncle is because i like his artistic mind, which is so mind-opening.
which is totally different from what u all are talking about.
i'm not living a life of dread.
but neither am i living an envious life as what i made it sound to be.
i just have been ommiting the undesirable parts, as i was still happy to be able to talk about the people i loved.
liar? yeah. i like to spice mundane things up when i talk about myself.
it may not be 100% true, but it entertains you guys who listen to me.
it gets our conversation going.
and more importantly, my mouth just acted on its own, as if it has a mind that it can claim as it's.
