Happy Deepavali gang!! Second year in a row and I am not home to revel in the festivities. All that briyani rice and chicken kurma and mutton curry and murukku… all left untouched because I am here, in the Land of Men who believes that  the best chilli is sweet chilli - HELLO? True chilli is NOT sweet ok??? They put sweet chilli with everything here - chips, dips even…Philadelphia cream cheese. Yes, gross no?

Not only that but Hari Raya is also next week!!! So I’m missing the double whammy!!! All that ayam masak merah (Dayana, I oso want okay?) and satay and ketupat and rendang..haihhhh.. all left untouched because I am here in the Land of Men enthralled with peanut satay sauce which is also, three guesses, sweet. In the Land of Men where Malaysians and Singaporean businessmen who have settled down here have decided to prosper on Malaysian students’ cravings for satay by selling 3 sticks for $5 AUD. OMG *faints* That’s around RM15 for 3 sticks when in reality for that much you can buy enough satay to feed an entire Gombak neighbourhood and have enough left over for next Raya. Preposterous, oui?

The only thing that cheers me up a bit is the fact that Chinatown still sells real chilli - the type that makes your eyes water. And the fact that I always have enough Tobasco sauce stocked up. Oh, and that I will be home for Christmas =D

The past two years my family has not had the opportunity to celebrate it properly because we were mourning the death of my paternal grandmother in 2004 and my maternal great-gran in 2005. After the year we’ve all had, I am truly looking forward to Christmas and hopefully the whole shebang; christmas tree, cookies, shopping for gifts and clothes, carolling and house visits sharing the joy of the birth of Christ. And accompanying all of that, let us not forget the food, Food, FOOD glorious food. *chorus joins in*

Josh & Bry– we are so jamming okay? And I really wanna meet up with everyone this year, next year is gonna be the shits for me in uni and I wanna cram in as much fun as I can this year. Maybe see if the rents will bum us a trip to Penang — where the food is even more glorious — as I have heard from Juli and Kel. Oh and LOTS and LOTS of charades hahahah…I am going mad with delirium. And…oddly enough, I’m quite hungry as well.

And now I have the pleasure of getting back to my Immunology notes..weee~

-_-

On this note, to all my friends who celebrate both Deepavali & Hari Raya — hope you guys have a good one and God bless…adieu

P.S. Save me a satay stick, I’ll be home soon =)

P.S.2 - Gan, chin up — we love you!!!
