Recollection of Letters (9)

 20 September 2021

Dear Sushila

When I put this beautiful fairy sticker on this card, I remember that I read a lot of Enid Blyton's story books in my growing up years, so I guess my young mind was inundated with a make-believe world of fairies, gnomes & pixies! But it was all good and positive fables that mold my thoughts. Sometimes when I look at the grass, or tree trunks or bush flowers during my walks, a whimsical thought would come to mind, of a little fairy coming out from the tree and take me on a fanciful adventure! Not too old to dream right, Sushila? 

The Singapore government's plan to accept Covid as endemic is taking its toll. The daily cases is now 1000+, with 800+ hospitalized, 100+ needing oxygen & 21 in ICU. We are in the vulnerable group, so try not to expose ourselves unnecessarily. The booster dose has been rolled out & will be given 6 months after the 2nd dose. I'm not sure about children below the age of 12 taking the vaccine as we are still not too sure about this mRNA thing! 

The present global  politics is disturbing. Look at the pact signed by US, UK & Australia with the latter withdrawing its contract to buy nuclear submarines from France. The French are proud people and this is seen as a colossal slight to their face in the international arena. Wonder what Morrison was thinking? I pray for unity among world leaders to bring peace to one and all.

Find joy in the ordinary, Sushila.

Love

Sylvia
