Festival of Lights!

Saturday, after a pretty thumb-painful 2hours of bowling, I left to go for a nice Deepavali at my friends house. It was more of eating, and the food was extremely yummy. There was curry, bryani rice, chili-fied eggs, prawns and fish, yummy yummy yummy. I love food.

So maybe a little background on Deepavali and maybe some snapshots as well!
Wiki Extract:
Deepavali (also spelled Devali in certain regions) or Diwali[1], popularly known as the festival of lights, is an important five-day festival in HinduismJainism, and Sikhism, occurring between mid-October and mid-November. For Hindus, Diwali is the most important festival of the year and is celebrated in families by performing traditional activities together in their homes. Deepavali is an official holiday in India,[2] Nepal,Sri LankaMyanmarMauritiusGuyanaTrinidad & TobagoSurinameMalaysiaSingapore, and Fiji.


Since I'm from Singapore, its also a public holiday here! Even though I don't really celebrate it at all, I still get to enjoy the break! I think Deepavali is a fun.


So we went to my friend's house to eat loads of yummilicious foods and we snapped a few low quality phone camera shots that was rather blur. I don't have the shots now, its with my friend, but when I lay my hands on it, I'll post it here!


After which, we left to play with sparklers and powder bombs which were seriously cool. You smacked the packet or stomped on it, and then you throw or kick it far away, and then it'd explode, or at least thats just the sound, but either way, I think its really awesome and I'm looking forward to buying fun toys like those! 


I left early after that though! (Bummer)


Went to Swensons at Plaza Singapura to meet my parents friend, an Aunt who bakes the best muffins/cakes/brownies/cookies/EVERYTHING, and I mean it in the sweet sense. She baked for me some really awesome muffins. She's leaving for USA tomorrow, and I'm going to miss her yummy baking stuff! 


After the tummy-feeling Earthquake ice-cream, I went back to the same area to watch MEGA-MIND(Show review some other time). I had fun with my friend, and an interesting right home in the MRT!
