Two Friday's ago we had special guests. And who were they, no one but Ramu mama and Sala maami from Penang. Sala maami brought some of her signature dish, crab masala along with her because when we were in Penang last month, Ganesan and I polished off the entire dish of crab masala she had made. Suprisingly we didn't eat the dish as well, because the crab was so yummy!!!! An important point to note is that no one else ate the crab except both of us because Nachi didn't come. But on Friday night, Nachi got to eat the delicious masala after Ganesan and me because his car tyre had a puncture and he came home only at 11.00 p.m. But we left a lot for him and there was even some more in the fridge. Then you can just imagine how much crab, Sala maami brought!!!!

On Sunday, Sajeera, one of Nachi's good friends came home to see the wedding albums. When we met her a few days earlier in a restaraunt and showed her the few pictures we had, she said "I have to come home and see all the albums". So there she was promptly on Sunday afternoon with us, viewing album after album patiently. Hopefully she didn't get too bored!!!!

After Sajeera left on Sunday evening, we went to Nachi's friend's house for Hari Raya open house. Though we did get lost trying to get there, we finally got there after going up and down each road a couple of times. This is also because Nachi's sense of direction is wonderful!!!! The food there was really good with a variety of dishes. At first I was a bit confused because I didn't know what went with what. But after a bit, I kind of got used to it and enjoyed the food.

From there Nachi and I went to Berjaya Times Square because we had to pick up a parcel someone had brought from India. Then we went to the mall, where the Diwali preperations had just begun after Raya was over. The mall is so huge that I would have got lost if Nachi wasn't there. I think even one day is not enough to go through the entire mall.

Since we had to kill somemore time and didn't have dessert, Nachi took me to one of his favourite restaraunts, Cafe Cafe. The interiors of the place are something one must definetely see, it is done up in a completely French style. It is a picture perfect setting, so I insisted we took a few snaps there because Nachi's new habit is to carry the digicam with us where ever we go. The reason for this is actually beacuse I was complaining that when I was at home, Daddy took so many pictues of me everytime I wore a saree and Nachi was not taking any pictures.

But after coming to Malaysia, I'm wearing so many sarees that its not a big deal anymore. When I was at home I wore a saree only once in a blue moon and it was such a big effort. And most important, I started wearing a saree on my own only the day after we got married!!!! Till then Mummy or Ayah were always around to do the needful.
