DepaRaya

Renee this is your 3rd Divali and Hari Raya with us, as for Reeve, it is your 2nd. last year on the 9th Nov i was in the hospital inducing you and on the 11th Nov as we were about to leave the hospital, i saw journalists asking if there is a Deepavali baby born in this hospital (indians only). that is how i remember you were born 2 days before Divali.

this year, we spent our Divali at home waiting for babee to return from China. on the first day of Raya, we left for Melaka to meet a.AM, and the rest of the PowerDrive gang at a'farmosa. unfortunately, mami was down with flu and mild fever, so we did not get to see much of the Animal Safari or any other shows available there. the second day, still feverish, but because MM had pestered me since 9am to bring you all to the pool, so at 2pm, we arrived at the pool. initially a.AM was swimming with you together with kakak, MM and Sam. but then somehow i heard you calling for me and i thought since i was there...what the heck! screw the fever, so i plunged in too. although the water was horrendously filthy, but we managed to have lots of fun. you wanted to play "mami coming" (cathing game that a.AM had invented to play with RAYERN)

that night we had portugese for dinner - an excellent meal! our entire family and Powerdrive on the other side. at the end of the dinner, when we were about to pay, a.AM said her dad had ask to pay for us too - Thank You again!

after dinner, short walk at Jonker Walk, saw some cute toys, hair clips and ended up having Cendol at one of the stalls. RESULT: DELICIOUS! one of the best cendol i have ever had, the Gula Melaka was so thick and non sweet. we left early for home as Reeve was not feeling too well, he had running nose and slight fever too just like me...poor boy! Renee, you were facinated with the Ketupat Lanterns on the streets...
