My little Xuan is finally attending secondary school!! And together with her dajie. At least for this one year. Looking at her in her secondary school uniform and standing beside her dajie, I have to admit that she is a big girl now, almost catchin up with her dajie!!
I fondly recall how for the longest period of time, I thought Xuan was my petite lil' girl who never seemed to outgrow her frocks or pjs, when I always had to buy new sets for Qi.. I also recall how for the longest period of time, I always had to shield Xuan's little head from knocking into side mirrors of cars when we snaked our way in the carparks.. Similarly, for the longest period of time, Xuan has always been in primary school and HIPS is synonymous to Xuan's school! I mean, Xuan had been in HIPS even before I stopped working, and mind you, I had stopped working for almost five long years!! That is a very long time, isn't it?
Yeah.. anyway, I did not feel so emotional about this until I walked down the stairs from the HIPS school hall after leaving En there, and realized that there is no Xuan for me to pounce onto in that compound anymore.
Therefore as my younger gals get used to their new schools and new environment, their mummy similarly has to get used to the idea of them in their new schools, with their new schedules of longer hours away from home, away from mummy! So for now, it's home alone, mummy!!
