Livvie in KK

Livvie and her parents flew to KK on 5 September from Singapore and spent the next four days with her grandparents in KK. It was just shy of one year since the family last visited KK (Read here).

Though the visit was short, we managed to spend significant time together. She was very at ease with us since it was just a month ago when we last met in Singapore. Still, we discovered that there is boundary that we should not cross and taboo on certain subject. One evening when we were having dinner at a local hotel, we suggested to her to spend an evening with us so that her parents could have some private moment for themselves - may be to see a movie. Instantly, she went into "incommunicado" mode and shut herself from further communication with her grandparents. We realized that she was still not prepared to be separated from her parents especially in a place away from home.
