i lied.
i lied to almost everyone i knew.
i lied about the reason why i'm taking o'levels now and not 5 years ago.
the truth is that, i'm slow at understanding things. i don't even know the reason why i should study that time. so by the time i was 16, i stopped studying. and i told myself that i should work my ass off to know what it really means to earn my own money. understand more, i mean.
and here i am. paying everything by myself. buying myself an insurance and all.
i learn to know the value of things.
setting aside needs and wants.
yes. i am a late bloomer.
but at least i don't waste my parents money.
at least i know what is wrong and what is right.
at least i know what i want to be in the near future,
and not taking education as "just because i have to" excuse.
the second thing is, about Singaporean being slaves.
like or dislike, i have to agree with that foreigner.
as time passes by, i find people here are less humble than they used to be. we are somehow, more 'stingier'.
and day by day, years by years living here, there's nothing to be proud of anymore.
no matter how much you earn or how much land you own nothing seems to satisfy our nation's hearts.
thank you for reading.

For your first confession, I believe it's good that you're in control of your life. In a way you're more independent and you know what you want in life. So that's good.
And as for your second confession, not really much of a confession I reckon. More of a complaint. I guess that's the general complaint every singaporean is having now. Hopefully the government starts looking after their own citizens more than the foreigners or we singaporeans will be forced to move out.
