Deepavali Lights

Surprised that I can still managed to catch the lights of Deepavali in Little India, even though it is almost two weeks after Deepavali. Not complaining though. :P

Lights and Vegetarian Food

Pretty lights.

Delicious Japanese vegetarian food. Yes, it is really vegetarian!

As Deepavali public holiday falls on a Saturday, Monday 4 November has been declared an off in-lieu at my work organisation as well as my girls' school. :)

Happy Deepavali

To all my Hindu friends (and Hindu readers who chanced upon my blog):

May the year ahead be as bright as the diyas 

and glow with happiness and joy.

Happy Diwali

Juliane was invited to her K1 friend, Shloka's Diwali party. Diwali is also known as Deepavali or Festival of Lights. I thought it was a great opportunity for her to learn about another culture.

All the children were given their own small clay lamps (diyas) which they painted and decorated with glitters and stuff. The kids really enjoyed the hands-on activity. After the hands-on, it was dinner. I particularly enjoyed eating the rice cakes with lentil soup. :) It wasn't spicy at all! :) The highlight of the party was the "fireworks" for the children. The children played with sparklers amid lots of excitement and screaming lol.
