Lunch

Papa & Amma with the Hugging Granny

When I was little I remember that we spent alot of our school holidays visiting relatives. If we ever got beyond Seremban it was usually to visit some auntie or uncle who lived in the big bad city or sometimes we even ventured as far as Johor Bahru. Although there was once when we went to Penang with a whole bunch of people from the Seremban Catholic Church for the St Anne's Feast. In true Malaysian fashion there was a Chinese bus and an Indian bus, I wonder which bus my Chindian friends would have got on? My Monday was a bit like the old days of visiting relatives as my folks and my auntie (herewith known as Mami, Tamil for Auntie for the ignorant)drove to the big bad city, where I was anyway, with the sole purpose of seeing how many homes of relatives we could get to. Thankfully we had Auntie Vijaya along who knew where all the homes were and arranged timings and transportation. I felt about 12 again because I was once again Chinappu's daughter instead of just being Devina. We met with Papa's 93 year old auntie whom I hope to be like if I ever reach the ripe old age of 93. She was adorable and apparently has a reputation for hugging and kissing anyone that she hears is a relative. Needless to say I got many hugs and kisses in view of being the youngest person in the room.

As for the food we ate on the day, I was prohibited by Papa from taking any more photos of food as he said that only mat sallehs do that and I apparently by doing this I am demonstrating coconut qualities. I think it's all most unfair. So sorry chaps I only a photo of my lunch and wasn't allowed to document the amazing Thai food we had for dinner. It was truly amazing and I hope to return there soon for more Thai goodness.
