Wan Qi's first kelong stayover on 29nov2010















Xihong brought Wan Qi to a kelong trip in Batam on 29nov 2010. I was not able to go along as I still have to return to school for learning journeys etc. Sign.
So the father and daughter went without me on that morning at 6:30am. But the weather was no good as it was raining when they arrived at the kelong. They still managed to visit the poor village and presented some gifts for them at their prize ceremany. There was a tour guide explaining their livelihood to their group. And the end of the seesion, when the tour guide asked "Any more questions?" Everybody just kept quiet. Then Wan Qi posed a question. ""
Why isnt there any tables and chairs in the room? How are they going to have their meals? And the tour guide explained that they need to perform some ritual rites called (something but I had forgotten) so it will be easier if they just sit on the floor and without having to move the tables and chairs. And the adults were saying "Wow"Good question and good observation. " Of course the daddy felt very proud.
However, On the last 2 days, Wan Qi became very bossy and insisted the elder brothers and sisters played the way she wanted it to be until they decided not to play with her. Well,I seriously hoped that its because she is playing with elder brothers and sisters thats why she is behaving in this way. :<
