Thalai Deepavali post

It has been a pretty hectic week or so culminating in Deepavali this Thursday.......So what have we been upto?


Last Friday we were invited to the launch of a new range of IWC watches at the Mandarin Oriental, it was definitely one of the best parties Ive been to in KL...... here are the photos






Ronan Keating (ex-Boyzone) all the way from Dublin was the surprise entertainment, people got pretty excited when he started singing that song, when you say nothing at all from Notting Hill....well almost everyone, my dear wife didnt know who Ronan Keating was, and was looking for a comfortable chair to sit on since she was tired!! Nonetheless we had a fabulous time, even the food was great!




The after party party was at 7atenine at the ascott with some friends....








Last Saturday, we had a pre-Deepavali/wedding photo viewing, dinner at our house for a couple of my dad's friends.




On Monday we ventured on to the streets of Brickfields, which really has become little India in Malaysia....there were rows and rows of shops all over the place, very carnival like.....

Our Deepavali was very very relaxed this year. Our neighbour came over for breakfast in the morning before we headed of to the temple. We had lunch at my dad's friends house. We then went to the new mall thats just opened near our house, Gardens. We ended the day by eating some excellent Chinese vegetarian food at Nature's in Bangsar.

Very nice photo of us at the dining table taken single handedly by yours truly....

Last night we went to an old family friends house, played with fireworks with their grandkids...we all then went to watch a Tamil movie Azhagiya Tamil Magan. Once you accept that its a Tamil movie, and expect that the story is going to be a little silly you'll enjoy it. This movie was all about entertainment, funny and nice and light to watch, ie no usual melo drama of somebody hitting their head against the wall and crying! Its definitely not a must see, but its a "could" see, gets 3 out of 5 stars from me.
