Only child, people brag about how good it is.. People envy how others is an only child. Stereotypes, it's not as great as you think. My mum is a single parent, I guess that's what made it more difficult. I seas brought up by my godma till I'm 13, moved back home and realize how my mum don't know how to be a mum. I was a real rebellious kid back then, drives her insanely mad.. When I was 15, I finally realize how important studies is. I started studying hard and end up getting real shocking and good result for n level. Enrolled to ite at the age of 17, manage to strive till higher nitec but not poly. Got myself a full time job, lucky enough.. My first full time job is my wonderful dream job. While working, I study to get higher certificate.. Well what to do.. You can't go anywhere in Singapore without a good qualification.  But, just when I take my step up in life. I lost it, I lost my partner which I plan to have a future with... And I guess I lost that faith from my very own mother. She became very negative to the things I do, no matter what it is. One day I was sick and called off from work, she just assumed that I quit. Full of doubt, when I had really bad intenstine infection and was rushing to the hospital, she asked "are you sure you're not exaggerating." I don't even have the strength to answer her. That's not just it, I've to go on for days if I were to list every single incident.
