Chloe reached another major milestone in her adolescent years. Today, she starts school. Tomorrow, she will go through the separation. I hope she does not exhibit much separation anxiety.
1) Chloe did not make a fuss when we told her to change from her PJ to her school uniform.
2) Her new school mate mistakenly called her "kor kor" (dialect for elder brother). Chloe have the shortest hairstyle in class. That made her looked like a boy and easily misunderstood.
3) Chloe is the tallest child in her class and she is not even the oldest.
4) Daddy: "If you want to go to the toilet, you must wear one of these slippers (some imitation croc shoes in ugly colours lined up along the wall leading into the toilets) so you won't get your socks wet or dirty."
Chloe: No! I have my own pink one. (Refering to her pink Croc shoes)
5) When the teachers told all the kids to line up to go to the playground, Chloe discovered that daddy had overstepped the boundary line and shouted "Daddy! Come back!" (Daddy was hiding behind a bush to take a picture of Chloe)
6) Chloe tried Mee Soto (also known as noodles in chicken soup) for the first time. Tomorrow, she will be having chicken rice.
7) The teachers asked all the children to line up behind one another and put their hands on the shoulders of the children in front. When a class mate tried to put both her hands on Chloe's shoulders from behind, Chloe shrugged them off with a couple of strong shoulder shrugs.
8) Chloe's teachers are Noa, who teaches in English, and Wang Jing, who teaches in Madarin.
9) At the end of class, Daddy asked Chloe if she enjoyed school. Chloe replied, "Yes! I like school!"
