My love for jewelry started when I was very young – I think it was my grandmother who actually got me interested in jewelry and when I was young and visiting my grandmother – she would take out her jewelry to show me. My great-grandmother who loved my sister so much – left her a ring – on her deathbed – so you see how we all got started young with loving our diamonds and gold. My grandmother also kept most of her jewelry at home therefore, she had all her jewelry insured – even an engagement ring insurance – that’s to tell you how early she started with buying insurance for all her jewelry. Being a Peranakan – descendants of Malay and Indonesia – they have exquisite jewelries – it’s too bad that my mother didn’t get left with a lot of her jewelry since she was the oldest amongst her siblings. But because of generations of love for jewelry – I too develop a love for them and passing on the tradition to my daughter.
Summer Camp 2011
Chloe had already been in summer camp for a week now – and she is enjoying it so much – she is asking to go to camp everyday. What a difference a year made – this year – she wants to stay for lunch and she is all comfy about going to camp and not worried at all. In fact, this year – she will be going to Port Maitland beach with them and the Seafest Children’s parade.
This year – she just wants to swim and play with water. I am so happy for my Chloe – she is really growing up to be an independent little trooper.
Karate Class For Chloe
Chloe starts her Karate class at the Y – this Thursday ! we are all excited for her – because we hope that learning Karate will teach her to be more assertive. Hopefully, this will also teach her to protect herself in the future. As parents we are all worried about our kids and we want to equip her with the power and skills to protect herself given the history she had with the other school kids. I think we’ve made the right decision and we are keeping our fingers crossed – that she will enjoy it and be interested in it to continue.
School Is Done For 2010/2011
So school is finally over – and Chloe is ready for her summer fun – summer camp that is – this year – she did very well in school and we are very proud of her. She had 5 As and 5Bs – and her reading improved tremendously. We felt that the teachers for last year and this year played a very important part in her improving so much. Thank God for good teachers and not crazy and inexperienced ones like her first teacher.
