Festival of Lights- Awesome Day

Hello everyone!

Happy Deepavali!!!!

Today is Deepavali, the festival of lights! (google it if you need more info)
Anyway the first thing that popped into my mind on Deepavali was:
SUPERB FOOOOOOOD!!!

A close friend of mine, Pavitra Nair, called my college mates and I to her house in Butterworth. We left around 12.00pm and were all hungry (could smell the food all the way from Penang, lol-sarcasm).

Well we bought two huge hampers to give her for Deepavali. After reaching and wishing her family, we sat for a while and then the festival of lights became the festival of tastes.

Hungry Ghosts grabbing the food haha

From the muruku to the mutton varuval, gosh! The taste was simply SUPERB!! AND one great thing about it was that it was all HOME COOKED by Pavitra's mum. (Thank you AUNTY!)

The starters:

After eating we all sat down in Pavitra's hall and started telling various mind-bending riddles. It was fun and had everyone be so heated up in trying to find out the answers.

Heated discussions

AND THEN........THE PHOTO SESSION HAD BEGUN:

The Guys

After visiting Pavitra's house and having FANTASTIC lunches, we left and went to Sunway Carnival for an hour of window-shopping/lepak-ing. I have never been to Sunway Carnival before today so it was fun for me. The shops however were almost the same as malls in Penang island.

ANYWAY....

After that, we wanted to head home and were trying to search for useful signboards that show the Penang bridge sign. I was in Kenny's car and apparently we got lost somewhere in Butterworth, but thank God we eventually found a way to get to the ferry to get back to Penang. (Haven't been on the ferry for years)

Nice being on the ferry after so long

Jasper, Monishaa, Heusen, Winnie & I

All in all, it was a great day of travelling, celebration, food, friendship and laughter.
I cherish these people and keep looking forward to more outings like this.

That's all for now ya'll.
Take care!
