Argh, I'm really feeling the stress now. Stupid CPF rate. My mum's employer's CPF contribution is getting cut. It negates her 50 dollar pay rise two years ago *rolls eyes*
My grandma keeps reminding me of how old my mum is... how I should faster go out and work. Seriously. Kudos to my mum though, she stands up for me and says I have to study first.
I've always wondered about the only child VS siblings thing. While I really do like the perks of being an only child, it makes me wonder how different my life would have been if I had an older or younger sibling. Would I be looking up to someone? Be overshadowed? Or would I feel even more pressure to do well, to set an example?
And it's definitely not a guaranteed that if I had a sibling, said sibling would support my parents either. In fact, it may cut what available resources I have in half.
I probably wouldn't be allowed to go out late for fear of disturbing the younger sibling. Or I may be held back because the older sibling went awry, or just due to the over protectiveness of parents (although my parents are anything but!)
Sometimes I wonder if it isn't all a big conspiracy theory. Governments distribute food in such a way so that some people starve, to lower our earth's population. These top people get paid by the richer nations of course. Pharmaceuticals withhold drugs to prevent overpopulation, only selling to the rich. Maybe these people are getting disgruntled, that they produce fizzy drinks and other assorted food while their kids starve at home. So much so that they plant metals and assorted "freebies" into food they produce, or items they manufacture.
I think the time of this post is making my brain whacked.
Why should not Conscience have vacation
As well as other Courts o' th' nation?
Have equal power to adjourn,
Appoint appearance and return?
