Happy Deepavali!

Happy Deepavali (or Festival of the Lights) to all who celebrates!

Early this week, we made a simple flower rangoli outside our apartment.

Today, I put henna tattoos on Sarah's hands - one butterfly design, the other is a flower.  I had one too, and one for Ann, our help.  Henna tattooing was actually fun, we just googled some designs and tattooed away!

For dinner, we planned to go to an Indian restaurant but Little India was a ghost town.  There wasn't a single shop open.  We ended up with a western meal at QEII, an overfront restaurant overlooking Penang's marina.

Home made henna tattoos!

Lots of dancing in the restaurant and our flower rangoli outside our apartment.

Siblings visit

My sister Jing, with her 3 year old daughter Sophia, and my brother Rap have been visiting us since September 17.   It's been a riot!  Fun and happy most of the time, with the occasional tantrums and fights between the toddler girls.

We've been taking them around left and right hence the scarcity of posts lately.  I'll blog more about their visit in the upcoming weeks. 

Below are just snippets of sibling love+fun we've been having lately.
