Christmas Gift from Jojo

Quite some months back (couldn't trace back the entry) , I wrote about MK asking me to take over as Jojo's "kai ma" (god mother). MK was my classmate, we sat together in the science labs..so..in a way..our friendship went back quite some distance. Boy...been many many years back. MK has four kids and each one has a godma for reasons that are too lengthy to explain here. Jojo had been a little dejected cos her orginal godma have not been able to find time paying attention to her.

I was quite reluctant in the beginning cos I was worried that I won't be able to commit and end up letting poor jojo down again.. Secondly..I was worried that I will not be able to interact with her. After some thoughts, I agreed. MK said..I don't have to do much. Just remember her birthday (which she will remind me) and buy a little something for Christmas..and may be ocassional lunch / dinner otuing.

We were 'introduced officially' over a casual dinner. She "shyly" told her mom that she liked me. I met Jojo many times before that ..she is a sweet child, I know. Thats why I wanted to make sure that I don't dissappoint her. After that we met on a few occasions at kids party and gatherings. On all ocassions Jojo was quite pleased to meet me again while I kept forgetting to get a little something for her.

I had dinner with them again last Wednesday - a belated birthday dinner for Jojo. This time I was prepared - with a birthday gift & a Christmas gift!

Jojo was prepared too. The moment she saw me..she waved to me and came over to present me a sweet little blue box - my Christmas present. Her mom said..they were in the mall early to shop for presents. I was told that Jojo insisted that she has to find me something First!

Here's what she bought for me. Very sweet bracelet. Her mom said it's quite expensive too! I am not the type who is into bracelets (cos I find them too troublesome to put on and off) but...I really think this is nice! Check it out...nice taste from a 8 year old!
