Hear ye! Hear ye! all who call themselves eldest!

When Spiderman received his powers, he said it was more of a curse, than a gift. Yeah la, maybe it is because his uncle died, left his aunt alone, and he cannot marry the one he loves. Because the city he is living in can't seem to stand on its own feet without him.

This superhero crap can be related in a rather similar way to my life, as well as many other eldest siblings around this banana shaped peninsula of a country.

It many people's eyes, or the youngest siblings, they think being the eldest is somewhat of a blessing because we get everything first. I say nay! True we get everything first, including the beating, the screaming, the throwing things around-ing, insulting.. etc. I would like to state here that, being eldest is like a blessing, ONLY in them filthy stinking rich families where they eat shit sleep money everyday. For us middle class eldest brothers/sisters, it is more like a curse.

I have been going through this same shit over and over again for the past years. Some say scolding and hurtful insulting is a means of motivation to do better. Yeah, better for the blossoming of the murdering capacity that all humans seem to have. If you ask me, it is not good for the development of character. Particularly if it is that someone you want to be an example of for the younger children.

And there is this, comparing. Day in and out, parents just have to compare their eldest to their younger siblings. OK, maybe if the eldest f*cked up in his studies once, that doesn't mean that the parents should go and harp about it every single day of the months in a year. A really, awesome, ineffective way to increase self esteem, way to go team mom and dad!

I love my mum and dad. Even if I get hurled with filthy abuses about me, my life and my friends, I still love them. Hats down to them for struggling to make my life alot easier and better. I just wish sometimes that, they don't put us eldest children aside all the time and shower the most attention on the younger ones.

I think that is enough. Out.

Ooh. I'm the eldest too !
Not exactly a curse, being the eldest. But neither is it a blessing. I mean, being the eldest to me means, the rules that were applied to me, suddenly don't apply to my younger siblings any longer. Why? Cos the times have changed. Oh, the times have changed? how convenient for my younger siblings to be born several years after me. Cos they get privileges that I don't ! For example, my first outing with my friends UNSUPERVISED was AFTER my SPM exams. Yes, you can read it again and you did not read wrong. AFTER SPM. My bro has been going out with friends for movies since he was 14.
Okay, maybe you're saying So WHAT? But for me, that just leaves me feeling a little resentful and yelling "Bloody UNFAIRRRRRR !!". Silently of course. >.<
Being the eldest sucks sometimes =.=
