Our first blog

Alagu and I have decided to keep a blog after marriage to let all our friends and family around the world know how we are getting on, and what we are upto. We have been procrastinating for the last month or so on getting this blog going. Since we have had 2 consecutive eventful weekends, it has acted as a great catalyst for us to publish our first post.

This blog was inspired by a friend of mine, Ashwin, http://nehanash.blogspot.com/ who did exactly the same thing after he got married. So thanks for the idea Ash. Just to let you know, you should'nt be expecting any pulitzer prize prose within these pages, and no deep thought provoking philosphies of the political situation of our country.....this blog is to document our new found life together, and to share our experiences with those closest to us. Please feel free to post any comments you may have!!

Last weekend was Hari Raya, or the end of the muslim fasting month. Typically in Malaysia we visit our muslim friends during this period, and eat a lot of authentic Malay food. This year amongst others, we went to Annuar's house. Annuar is a good friend of mine, he's an analyst at a foreign investment bank and Marianna his girlfriend is a talented local movie producer.

Last Monday was a public holiday because of Hari Raya, so Alagu, Ganesan and I decided to go to the temple of fine arts for Navarathari. However by the time Alagu got ready around 9pm, the temple had closed, we then tried 2 more places before giving up and settling for a milkshake and yummy moist chocolate cake at Delicious!!

Alagu looking very happy with her ice-cream, chocolate cake and milkshake!

We took a picture at the entrance of Delicious just before leaving. I think this is one of the better pictures we have taken over the past month, thanks to the photographer, Ganesan!


Sendil, Alagu's Chittappa, visited us this Friday night, and we had Thai food at Ayodhya in Damansara Heights. I think its one of the nicest looking Thai restaurants in Malaysia, although the prawn dish wasn't great, the rest of the food was good. There is an absolutely stunning water feature on the 1st floor, with a Ganesha sitting serenely in a pond full of Koi fish.

After dropping Sendil back at his hotel, Alagu had a craving for a favourite food group.....cookies and cream.....with extra chocolate sauce....

Yes the 2nd tub of double berry cheesecake is hers as well......(ok I'm kidding, it was mine!)

On Saturday we went to the Shah Alam Go-Kart track. We got a little lost trying to get there, but it was well worth the effort, we all had great fun. I have to say Sendil is quite the racing driver, while I was busy constantly spinning off the track, he was lapping us at lightening speed. Even Alagu, after a little apprehension got into the spirit of things and was zipping around the track, although they almost gave her a ticket for driving too slowly! ;-)

On the way back we went to the Brabus showroom at the corner of our road. There is a restaurant called Relish in the showroom.....all we could afford were the fries and milkshake....

Sendil and Ganesan trying to figure out how to raise the RM6 million needed to drive the car out of the show room...

Tonight, Selva a close friend of mine from school, had a small party to welcome Alagu to Malaysia at his brand new Indian restaurant, Spices of India at the brand spanking new mall opposite the JW Marriott on Bukit Bintang called the Pavillion. We really had a great time, and the food was great, I highly recommend you to check it out when your in the area.....
