My Holiday Recount
Written By:Salote
On an unusual morning I was tired and lazy with usually nothing to do so I decided to go back to sleep. When all of a sudden all I hear is “Salote!!! Wake up and come” from my Mum. So I dragged myself across the room and into the hall-way. My Mum told me to get ready for church. I asked if were going to the Putu (funeral). She replied, “We have to.”
(3 minutes later) We were ready and off we went to church. It was our first time and it felt welcoming and nice. Although there wasn’t that many Tongan Family’s we still felt welcome until Lani (my baby sister) started crying. I took her out and it was so tiring she was running all over the place. Until a lady and her daughter came and asked if we were Tongan’s and I had replied with “YES”. Although you think it's stranger danger but she was friendly and also nice. her name was Lusiana and she was from TongaTapu Vava'u.
(An hour later) church was finished so we went back home.I was bored and tired when we went back home and nothing to do but go to the Putu (funeral). 4:00 PM and it was time to go to the Putu (Funeral). It was the usual stuff. You must wear black and like a Ta’ovala. (30 mins later) We were nearly there,as we assumed that we had the Z card my mum had asked to checked if the card was in there as replied no she(my mum) was furious and mad and so we just went back and put on our Ta'ovala (Tongan Mat).
(20 minutes later)The Putu has started,9:00 Pm and the Malanga Was still going and then there was my cousin the Fakaleiti(A boy acting like a boy) As we saw this lady she wanted to go live and I was wondering when she was going to start it,man it was funny while she was trying to live it on Facebook she wanted to maketure that everyone on the live could see it but she couldn’t see the other-side because someone was blocking the way so she asked the daughter to film the left side and the dauter was looking that it literally said start ,live so she pressed it and it started so the lady (Mum) said what did you do and she replied that she pressed start the Live and man she didnt know me and cousin,mum was laughing at her…
(11:00 PM) And the Putu (Funeral) was finished,I was exhausted we went home and I went straight to the kitchen and BAMMMM!!! Eating alot of because the last time that we ate was at 3:00 PM and I was starving and super tired…
And that was My first week of the Holidays.
So yeah my holidays was pretty busy but boring most of the time, although the holidays are good because I slept most of the time. I loved it. It was nice and it felt good.
