Crunchy-Bites

God bless Diwali, it was freaking hot the whole day today. nevertheless it did not stop me from braving the scorching heat to attend my friend mr. arvin's open house, my family tagged along too since we got movie plans after that.

That's my plateful of food, all of them spicy, the mutton was especially nice though, soft and tasty, just the way i like it! Now the highlight here is the glass of drink that my friend served me, it's the Johnnie Walker Green Label with ice and water lol. Prior to this i have never drank liquor mixed only with water before, them Indians really know how to make a stiff drinks man, i was poured half a glass of liquor and half mixer, it's really not for the faint-hearted.. I had 3 glasses of Green Label and a glass of chivas, got real tipsy in the middle of the afternoon, with my mom's nagging not far behind.

That's my friend and i, his parents and my mom. When you are tipsy, conversation flows real smoothly haha. His father is a real gracious host, always going around challenging people to bottoms up! Don't let his simple demeanour and down to earth personality fool you, he's actually Dr. Venugopal, the deputy dental director in the Health Ministry with the salary wage equivalent to a two-star general, so how can i decline his bottom ups challenges haha.

Today is actually my get out of jail pass, cos i applied for leave specifically to spend some time with my dad who came back from India for his quarterly week long holiday. And tomorrow morning i shall go back to camp and prepare for a week long military training in Mempaga, Pahang. How do i feel now? Slight hungover with a hint of sadness, first cos i can't spend more time with my family, second cos i'm getting the cold shoulder from one that i care lots about. May things get better soon!
