Deepavali 2015

I took advantage of the Deepavali holiday to take a couple of days off, since it's already almost the end of the year and I still have leave to clear. On Friday, I spent the day with my parents and we had breakfast at this quaint little cafe called Pit Stop No. 12 on Chulia Lane. Food was good and the price was reasonable too.



On the Monday before Deepavali, we took the two elder girls up Penang Hill. Hannah has been there once before, but this was Heidi's first time. We arrived around 9.30 in the morning but there was already a crowd waiting to go up the cable car. So I took photos of the girls while we were waiting. Good thing the wait was not that long, though.


The top of the hill seems to have gone through some renovation since I was there last, it looks quite different from what it was before. We took some pictures at the top, but didn't stay long as the day was getting quite hot.





The next day, it was Deepavali. Heidi and Helene had their pavada which my cousin gave them last year. The outfit was too big for Helene last year, but it fit her just nicely this year :)


We went visiting to hubby's colleague's house. The elder two didn't want to go, so we only took Helene. She really had a ball, and even got some nice bangles from the colleague's wife to go with her outfit. She helped herself to muruku and cookies, and even offered them to everyone else, as if she was the host and not the guest!



I managed to grab her for a picture as she was excitedly walking around.


I think I lost count of how many muruku and cookies she ate lol.


And the little girls continued wearing their outfits even when we went to Queensbay mall in the evening. Hannah was actually wearing her "baju kurung" in the morning but wanted to change out of it even before we left the house. She has a certain aversion to "itchy" clothes lol.


Back to work today. We also attended a wedding over the weekend but will save that for another post :)
