A month to go and already I’m feeling the heat. Nay, 25 doesn’t bode well, not in my dictionary definitely. I’ve bound myself via some legal documents and I found myself a proud (not) co-owner of a flat.

Ah! The perks of being a firstborn!

Basically to clean up all the shit… and still have enough heart and gratefulness to consider putting filial piety in my lists of to-dos? I shouldn’t even take it to heart that they’ve clipped my wings and now I’m earth bound forever. Hmm… In fact I should even forget that I once had dreams. Dreams that they couldn’t fulfil. Then there were the dreams I have that I thought I could fulfil, for myself. Well, all of them evaporated when my signature was put on the deed.

So bound I am, to a life of slavery.

Ever had opinions about why Singaporean men are boring with no life? I think I may have found the answer… and I’m not even male!

So for those who are busy fretting over childish concerns and petty quarrels. Maybe they can find enlightenment by sucking my toes. Like really.

Bah!

I know, I should be showing more maturity for this issue. Afterall, I know for sure that it would pain me if my parents were to work when they are much older. I’ve seen enough elderly having to clear tables at coffeeshops. What a common sight too, to see them waiting at hawker places waiting to get my empty cans, or those going through the trashbins hoping to find objects to be sold… when they should be home enjoying their old age.

Nope, I’ll never let that happen to my parents. Hopefully.

I’m in a lose-lose situation and I know it. Meanwhile, I’ll just console myself that I’m doing what a good firstborn/daughter would do. Sigh.

No more bumming around and no more moolah in the CPF account to invest! Boo hoo! On the flipside, maybe it’ll really teach me a thing or two about responsibility. Better still if I learn to be less anal/pissed off towards the Papa Bull. These days I can never be around him without having a war. Being tolerant would be absofuckinglutely helpful!

But for now there are only 3 words…

Welcome to adulthood! *jumps around in pseudo glee*
