Today, MGS my alma mater celebrates 131 years of founding. 1887, 25 July, this school was started with nine little tamil girls on Short Street by Miss Sophia Blackmore, an Australian methodist missionary, so the historical archives go. I stepped into the institution the centennial year, 1987 and graduated from her in 1990, finishing my O levels there scoring 4 distinctions in English, Geography, Elementary Mathematics and Additional Mathematics, had Bs in my Chinese, Physics, Chemistry, Literature and Bible Knowledge - decent results for my secondary education. I studied in Yishun Junior College during my first three months and changed to Anderson Junior College following the showing of better O levels results than my preliminary results.
Somehow, I always had faith in my own intelligence even though I may not exactly be brilliant. However, because of the belief that I am intelligent, I might not have been as diligent as say my elder sister has always been. My sister has always compensated her slight lack of intelligence with sheer hard work and diligence. Therefore, she is considered by most a success at work, with high earning power and relatively high status at work. For me, I am currently doing an administrative function in a post-graduate seminary and have been at the same position for over a decade.
Nonetheless, I am at a happy place in my own personal life.

1st Post in July
Today, as I left the therapist's office, I am reminded that I am a 44year old adult and look every bit like one but inwardly I seem a bit unsure about my adulting. One homework given me was to communicate to my mum and sis in a positive way to stop nagging me about my bedtime. I hope that homework can be done well when mum and sis come back from their holiday.
It was a good session with Andrea. She affirmed my capabilities as a contributing, responsible, working adult and pointed out the incongruity of how I am still treated as a child, not a full adult member of the household at home. My public and private lives are facing incongruence.
Andrea was good in helping me establish certain boundaries as an adult in my own life, within my primary relationships.
