Yesterday Zhen attended a birthday party, her second here. She was invited to the first one with Sarah (another Singaporean girl) back in mid November last year. Why are these special? It shows that she is fitting into the system here. Back home, she hardly attend any of these functions because she was an outlier.
This birthday function has a sad side to it. The birthday girl is switching to another school. That makes two as Sarah has also returned to Singapore earlier. Who knows, we might be next given the uncertain times, but these are also times for miracles. Those in denial will experience no miracles though. We believe we aren't in denial but is living the words of "hoping for the best but preparing for the worst". Easy to say, but it requires insight to practice. We are still learning.
