Deepavali 2008
This year's Deepavali was special as we were celebrating this joyous occasion in Uncle Perumal's (my foster dad) new home in Taman Puncak Utama, Kajang. Uncle Perumal is my dad's buddy in the Signal Corp back in the early 70's. I met him in 2005 when he came to complain about his house in Taman Puncak Jalil. So since that year, I had been celebrating Deepavali and other Indian celebrations with his family.
I was on my way back when I saw few stalls doing henna. It's RM 10.00 for one hand. I had to sit in my car for 20 minutes waiting for it to dry. Unfortunately I wrongly choosed the black henna. I honestly thought it might just be a type of henna (like green tea, red tea or black tea) which give redder colour. It turned out like it's really black, like the tatoo. Luckily i didn't do the whole hand. It looks good though if we do it on certain part of the body .... very tempting.

THE OUTFIT
Every Deepavali, Uncle Perumal will treat me to new Punjabi suit. However this year I decided to buy my own ( malu lah sebab dah kerja) in one of the boutiques along Jalan Tun Sambathan and Brickfield. Mogana my adik angkat said she prefered the choices at Jalan TAR but uncle and myself had been loyal customers of Jothika's, next to the Sentral Monorail Station.
I wore the pink one on Deepavali. The red one was given to me by sister Joan, this one have to reserve for Mogana's birthday as it is more Bollywood.
THE FOOD
This was what I had for breakfast. Iddli and my foster mum's version of chicken rendang. In fact I think it taste more like the Eurasian Devil Curry.
My foster mum making the tose.
Taraa... taste so much better than Ali Maju Bistro's.
Deepavali Goodies... kuih gunting, kuih keras (this one is special as my foster mum added nuts), murukku... some of it I don't know how to pronounce.
THE DECOThe koalam (pronounce column)

The Loft@KL Sentral
Alamak! Got sidetracked. Saja mukadimah panjang takut nanti ada mamarazi atau ada orang mengata aku pi cuci mata dan makan free jer. Dah lah masa jamuan raya Bahagian Korporat Mirza kata kat aku "hang ada masa update blog yer Jaime". Nasib baiklah Saharah tak dengar... hehehe. Btw, we asked to have a look at their newly handed over project - The Loft @ KL Sentral following the success of their Suasana Sentral 1 and 2. The smallest units which is 800 sqft studio are sold at RM 300,000 +++, the largest pulak at RM 4 million. However maintenance charge is reasonable at RM 0.20 psqft. U could say it is at the lower side considering it's in KL.
I was mesmerized by the Koi Pond surrounding the building's gymnasium.
View of KL as seen from the facilities area on 7th Floor, also visible from the gym.
This is their most expensive unit also known as the Loft.
Hensem tak my new direct boss? Baru semangat nak kerja ... unlike that one particular X-boss. Ni master bedroom.
The living area. U know I checked the price of the sofa set in Jalan Telawi, Bangsar. RM 15K ok.
U wanna know what they were discussing? They said kalau bini dah out of shape takleh mandi open-open kat sini. I had to roll my eyes...
Takziah To Ida
