Deepavali Celebration
On Deepavali night (8th November) at about 9PM, Sek Kuan fetched me from my place with his father's new Honda City which we was literally scared to drive, to go to Puspa's place. Huey Li arrived a lil' later..
Vegetarian cookies.. Still tasted awesome without the eggs!
Puspa and Sek Kuan - Happily married! Haha! Nah.. they're both straight! Or at least I think so...
Sek Kuan trying to get Puspa's nephew's attention.. Too bad he was too distracted by my shiny pink camera~!
Puspa then had to go to his sister-in-law's place in Jementah for a Diwali party, so we left his place and headed to Jayanthi's place for her mother's awesome and mouth-watering Indian dishes~!
Group picture at Puspa's place before heading to Jayanthi's house.. And we girls NEVER planned to wear the same colour k!! It was a coincidence.. seriously!
Sek Kuan, Huey Li and I enjoying every morsel of food at Jayanthi's place!! I go there every Deepavali without fail just to fill my tummy with Auntie Sarala's nasi briyani and curry chicken!!
The hostess and us parasites.. Jayanthi's grandmother was the one who helped us take our picture.. Jayanthi was telling her Pathy which button to press when she took the picture! She's a pretty good photographer eh?
It was great seeing Puspa and Jayanthi that day.. It's been months since I last saw them! Had AGE the next day due to all the spicy food, but it was well worth it!
Simran & Narinder's Engagement Party
The 10th of November 2007 marks a very special day for my friend, Simran. This is the day she got engaged to her long time boyfriend, Narin! Congrats dear girl! Remember, I wanna be the Godmother of your first kid! LOL!
The engagement was held at Simran's parents' place in Shah Alam. Magdalene and I went there together with Mag at the wheel.. Jen, Qi Yun and her family came later.. The house was packed!! There were easily 50 guests present for Simran's engagement!
The ceremony starts with the blessing of the couple by relatives. The older ones would put money onto the couples laps and feed them sweet cake like things then show their affections before they walk away to let others do the same.
After blessings were given to the newly engaged couple, it was photo taking session! She was just sooo beautiful!! Not like Simran isn't beautiful everyday, but today, she was just positively... glowing!
Later, before lunch, Narin offered us some nuts and sweet stuff to eat.. Simran said that that was tradition and that we had to finish everything including the bitter tasting nuts thingy!
Check out Simran's hands! Took 2 hours to complete that magnificent work of art!! The picture was rotated to 180 degrees so that you can see the picture properly without having to turn your monitor upside down.. Haha!
Took a group picture with Simran before going back... We had to leave early coz my train back to Segamat was to depart at 1400 hours!
I didn't manage to catch my train.. What was suppose to be a 10 minute drive, became a 90 minute drive! And that was also because Mag turned into LDP highway after getting caught in the massive jam on Federal Highway for one and a half hours!!
If she had stayed on that highway and drove on to KL Sentral, who knows how long it would've taken! Besides, I already missed my train while we were still in the jam, so what was the point of continuing our journey on Federal??
I later found out that there were massive jams on most of the major highways due to road blocks conducted simultaneously because the police were trying to control the public from attending an illegal demonstration called the "Coalition for Clean and Fair Elections" or BERSIH being carried out at Dataran Merdeka at that very moment!
From Al-Jazeera
The demonstration at Dataran Merdeka. Taken inside the KTM commuter on the way to Subang Jaya commuter station to meet Tek Jee, Chern Wuay and Joo Ee. Can't really see anything tho..
Seriously... I've no comment.. I wonder what's the world coming to.. I just know like a lot of other Malaysian road users, I'm really really really pissed off!
