My Diwali- A DeLIGHTful Affair

Diwali is a time to celebrate light. The time to celebrate peace and joy. It is ironic then that during Diwali we set of firecrackers that disturb the peace. But hey, we're happy doing it so who cares? Okay, the ones who are losing sleep do care but they do it during Raya and CNY right?


Anyway, I never really liked Diwali. It's all family bonding and boredom to me. But this year was the best Diwali I have ever had! My mom returned from India on Monday so it's all happiness and tears there. We had a gargantuan family gathering in Klang and we kids sure did have the time of our lives. We got on sugar high's every day and stayed up until 3 in the morning. Pure awesomeness. I can tell you one thing though, I have never drank that many cans of Coke in my life. Ever. I think each of us drank almost six cans per hour!


We watched Real Steel too. That is the best movie I have ever watched and ever will watch. Hugh Jackman is in it so it was definitely good. We were all cheering in the cinema, in felt like the wrestling matches were actually happening! Oh and the fact that I ate 2 cups of Baskin Robbins chocolate ice cream (need I say more?) probably influenced my feelings.


Diwali is pretty awesome in a way. It is the Festival of Lights. It is the Celebration of joy and it is a Family Fiesta.
