Happy Diwali


October 26, 2011 was a meaningful day to be remembered. 

For the first time in my life, I celebrated Diwali with my lovely housemates at Hudson Road. Thinking about Deepavali in Malaysia, the day was not more than a day off for me. It was even more boring because most of the TV channels aired Tamil programs- the reason why I persuaded abah many times to install Astro at home. :D Indians were like 'aliens' in my life. I haven't had any Indian friend before I came to IPDA. It is so hard to see Indian in my hometown. Whatever it is, life is a magic. Now I even have a reason to learn spoken Tamil. The significance of cultural knowledge seems greater than before.
Thanks Viki and Kuben for making Deepavali this year a memorable one.We enjoyed Thanks for the delicious curry and sambar too. Ops! I did not spell wrongly.. it was sambar, yes, sambar but not sambaLL. The dishes was superbly nice, some was mild but there was one that made me feel like brushing my tongue.I also was overawed with the amount of garlics, onions and ginger used-pretty much like a huge 'kenduri'. 
Anyway, what I want to point out is from this entry is to appreciate the difference between you and your non-Malay peers and learn about them. I believe that life can be viewed from different angles if you talk to different people...and ultimately love will come from within.
 The concept cannot be any simpler than "With one language you can read so many books, but with two languages you can read even more".
