Hey guys it's been ages since I last updated my blog. Well a lot has happened. Camps, school educational trips, drama festivals, exams and coursework. Too much of stressful stuff to be handled and yet I'm still alive.
Diwali just finished and yes it was fun to celebrate with loved ones. Firecrackers, cookies and new clothes. Well some of my Chinese friends came home to have lunch with me and my family. They were quite interested to know how we Indians celebrate our festival.
Preparations for Diwali always start a week before the exact date of Diwali. We start from making cookies, shop for new clothes, and cleaning up the house. The main highlight of doing all these is to enhance the relationship between the family. Then once Diwali strikes, we have our oil bathe early in the morning and pray at home. Children fall on their parents feet and seek for blessings. Then the whole family goes to the temple for special prayers.
In my family, after going to the temple, we go to my maternal grandmothers' house for breakfast. For lunch we head to my paternal grandmothers' house. That's how we celebrate Diwali on the first day. Well each family has their own way of celebrating the Festival of Lights.
That's all for now guys. I will be sitting for my Semester 1 STPM examination on the 17th of November 2014. It is quite scary to think about the examination which is just around the corner but I will have to face it sooner or later. I take this opportunity to wish all STPM students best of luck for their examination. Adios!!!
