I am the only child

Being the only child in a family is both an advantage and a disadvantage. When friends know that i am the only child, their reaction are almost similar. "Wa, you are having 100% of your parents love huh?" or like the chinese saying goes "a yellow little flower grown in greenhouse". But when i was young, honestly, i don't quite like to be seen differently as the only child. Because i feel they are treating me differently, as in, they will say something good and feel jealous or something like that. So i wish i had a brother or sister in the past.

As years pass by, i start to take it as a positive thing. If i had a brother or sister, who is going to share things with me, i don't think i would be as happy as i feel now. Parents budget will be lesser, they will look after my sibling/s while looking after me... ... I sometimes even think that i will be sitting all alone if i don't feel loved. Bla bla bla. And one more thing, no one is here to compete with me, and my results won't be compared with others! :D

Haha. Looking at the scenario now. My two cousins. 1 in standard 6, and 1 in standard 3 next year. The elder one is hardworking and she finally got into the first class. While the younger one is lazier and less focus and she did not get good results and went into the second class. Her parents were quite upset on her performance and they rewarded my elder cousin. Of course, the younger one will be unhappy to see this. And everyone in the family, especially my grandma is talking about it all the time. =S See, that's 1 disadvantage of having a sibling.

Another story, my aunt decided to buy a PSP or whatever thing for both of their birthday present. So they went to this shop and my aunt bought 1 for my younger cousin for her birthday present. My elder cousin did not get 1 because she wanted a different model. So their parents and my grandparents were saying that she didn't deserve the present because she didn't get good results. The same old story again... And today, my elder cousin got her present and it's a better model one. From her body language, i know that she's jealous. Extremely jealous. Firstly, she didn't want to follow her sister to purchase the present, secondly, she kept on emphasizing on her present's strength and her sister's present's weakness. Although i am not a psychologist, but from this small little reactions, i know her! ;)

Alright, the conclusion is, i prefer being the only child now. As long as i have good friends that i can talk to and they are willing to listen to me, i am happy. =)
