Yes mom, i know that i am a disappointment in your eyes. I know that i am the FIRST ever member of this family to not be in a pure science express class. Yes, i know i am the FIRST ever in this family to go to normal academic. Yes, i know i am the FIRST ever in this family to not score lesser than 15 for o levels. Yes, i know i am the FIRST ever to not be able to go JC (which i dont want to in the first place).
But mom, when will you ever learn that a life is measured by MORE than just academic qualifications but by worthiness as well.
True, Jie Sheng and Kun Min did make it to Yishun JC and to NUS where they graduated with a degree to become a banker and a pharmacist respectively, but is that how u measure a man? Is a man's worth just based solely on such paper qualifications alone?
I'll remind you mom, that i AM the only one who ever got ANYTHING above A2 for english and did NOT have to retake the English O levels. I'll remind you, mom, that i was correcting YOUR presentations when i was EIGHT. I'll remind you that by Primary 2, my compositions were being printed in the school's Budding Writers book, a feat NO ONE in our family has ever accomplished.
I'll remind you that by 12, i was writing 12000 words fanfictions (yes i know its not THAT many by writing standards) that were receiving unanimously good reviews, how many did my brother and sister get altogether? Oh hm, i think its ZERO.
Remember when you told me that helping 2nd Auntie sell health products was difficult? and that you only managed to sell one throughout the whole day? You do remember that, dont u? then do you also happen to remember i sold 12 in an hour using skills i learnt from my Not JC school? And how many did bro and sis sell in that whole day, hmm? 2?
So i implore you, mom, if u ever have the misfortune to read this, PLEASE, do remember which of your children has done much better in LIFE overall as compared to just academically, will u?
So please, for the love of god, f*** off, b****.
