It's The Allan & Indi Show!!!

Sham & I had a wonderfully delighful time on Friday night!

We watched Malaysia's awesome comedy duo, Allan Perera & Indi Nadaraja in action! Together, they make up the Comedy Court, a fabulous production that has been making it rounds in our live entertainment scene since 1997.

This time round, the show is called We Don't Swear, a hilarious performance by the two that poke fun at just about everything Malaysian - our politics, our lifestyles choices, our food, our politics, our relationships, our habits & pecularities, our politics, our weather, did I mention our politics? And oh boy, were they FUNNY!!

They were AWESOME, switching roles so easily - from corrupt Members of Parliment one minute, to typical China-men the next and to old aunties in another!

They TOTALLY cracked us up! The dialogue, the expressions and mannerisms... I swear I never laughed so much!

Man... WHAT a night!

(P.S. - If you do get to watch the show, look out for supporting cast member in the 3rd skit- the young and talented Amanda Charmaine. I know her!! And she was fabulous!!)

Our First Farewell

Sham & I lost a family member 2 weeks ago.
His maternal granddad died of a heart attack on a Thursday morning.

The funeral mass and cremation was the very day after.

A 7-day prayer followed.

Friends and family rallied around the family, comforting his widow.

Prayers were said, hymns were sung, old friends visited and were reacquainted.

There was a lot of love in the air.

Tata was 77 when he died.

He leaves behind a wife, 4 children, 4 children-in-law & 7 grandchildren.

All of whom were brought closer together by their loss.

Yes, there are silver linings around dark clouds.

Tata, you are finally home with Jesus.
May you rest in peace.

Fun on a Monday Nite??

Sham & I went to the Backyard Pub last nite. Fancy us at a pub on a Monday nite, sipping on whiskys and Margaritas! Haha :D

Sham had heard about this one man piece who performs there on Mondays and was supposed to be good, so we decided to go check it out.

The one man piece turned out to be a very talented and highly entertaining, 28 year old Mark Renesh!

He was awesome! A great voice and a whole range of music - the Eagles, Simon & Garfunkel, a little bit of country, a lot of stuff from the 70s, some Tracy Chapman and good ol' rock and roll! We were very entertained and had a really good time!

On a Monday nite, can you believe?

If you're ever in the neighbouhood on Mondays, head on over to Backyard! You won't regret it!

Cruising with Sham

One of my favouritest things to do with Sham is to hop into the car and take a long drive some place just for the heck of it! Most of our trips didn't exactly turn out 'well', though. But that never made them any less fun!

For instance, once, on a random Friday night, we found ourselved bored and decided.. hey! let's go to Gentings! So we drove up, only to find the place closed and it was pouring cats and dogs!

Then another time, we drove up to Frasers Hill on a Sunday, only to discover it was under major development and most restaurants were closed!

Funny thing was, it didn't bother us at all! Who cared? After all, the fun was in the drive!!

Sham would open the sun roof and let the cool air in. I'd flip off my sandals and sit with my legs curled under me.

We'd munch on donuts and chat about everything!

Or we'd play our favourite songs on the radio and sing loudly along.

Or we'd just be quiet, and take in the fantastic green that surrounds our highways.

And sometimes, I'd lean slightly over to my right and rest my head on Sham's shoulder while he drove us safely home.

The Long and Beautiful Break

One of the great things about living in a multi racial country, is that thanks to the many religous celebrations, we get all these public holidays!

We we were off work (almost) the entire week :)))
I'm so sad it's over :(((

We got some things done around the house. Sham finished the bookshelf. He also tidied up our storeroom (it got all messed up again a few days back... oh well!) We cleaned our carpets and learnt to cook some new dishes. Changes some light bulbs, put up some pictures, sorted out a blocked pipe problem.

It as Mum's birthday on Thursday, so we threw a BBQ party at our place on Wednesday night. Had both families over till way over midnight!

Spent some time at my folk's and some time with Sham's.

Spent some time with friends - a very yummy dinner at Unique Seafood, followed by drinks at ours. Had another group of friends over for tea on Saturday.

Spent some time together, just us, doing couple things. We did lunch at Coliseum Cafe (it was just us at the quaint, old place - kinda romantic in a way), went to our local neighbourhood pub for music and drinks (and realized we hadn't been out so late since we got married!), went shopping, bought some new clothes, watched movies at home, ran some errands together.

All in all, time pretty well spent.

Are there any more holidays in October, by the way?
There are... right? ... right? ... right?
