In Conjunction with the upcoming Deepavali…
… I decided to scout around Little India Street in Klang. I passed by the Street every Sunday on the way to church but never once scout around the street for fear of being nab by ah neh-neh (sheesh….). But over the weekend, the street has become so lively with crowds doing shopping for the coming Deepavali Festival.
Some random shots that I’ve taken with my NEW!!!! Sony T-10 which I’ve collage them. But I still prefer the full size view as some of the pics really look awesome.
Icky Food
According to my Indian collegue, those round round thing is very yummy and sweet. The origin is from native of Bangali. The only Indian biscuits I love is the muruku!
Silks & Clothings
Do you know that Punjabi suit is not cheap? A good quality fabric and a bit nicer design can cost you about RM80 (US$21) above. If you are planning to buy a Punjabi suit, do set a budget of Rm100. I tried to get one but failed $$$.
ooOO… look at this bare back sari blouse.
Definitely set the festive mood sexcited.
Fake jewelleries is everywhere.
Look at the beaming face on the little girl. Gosh, most little girls love accessories. I bet if Princess is with me, she will want to have one of those too.
Footside fortune teller is very famous during my younger days.
Can’t believe that they still exist now! Isn’t future is on your own palm and not on the parrot beak?
Weaving of Jasmine flower or Bunga Melur
It was meant to hang across the Hindu deity during prayer and also to beautify their hair after they have bun them.
… and a post usually end with something soothing and relaxing. Neh… not another massage. Indian massage can break your neck bone!
This is sooooooo Malaysian. A tired girl resting on a pile of clothings. We get this scene even in shopping malls. What can I say. Malaysia BOLEH!!!
Would like to extend my wishes to all Hindus readers –
HAPPY DEEPAVALI DAY
and to non Hindus readers –
HAPPY HOOOLIDAYYYY. Yahoooooooooooo!!!

The Queen says: I just keep on walking non stop. they are more than happy that i took their pic. But I did get into trouble with one of the shop selling pirated t-shirt. I’ll save that for other day.

Happy Holidays Hijackqueen. I loved the collages. How do you do that?
The kid pics were all really cute. My daughter would have loved those little bracelets. One day I hope I can take her there to shop and look.
The Queen says: On my main page did you see the “Google Photo Organizer”? Click that button and download the software. It’s free.  Hey, do make a trip down to Malaysia. With the exchange rate of 3.8% you can buy the whole town!!!!

I had a set of Punjabi suit made recently at RM83, chose the fabric & design but have yet to collect due to the high demand during Deeparaya. So, told the tailor to take his sweet time. Will post the pix once I get it. So, watch out for it ;P
