Deepavali Zombies!

As we all know, Deepavali was celebrated all over Penang. I was invited to some dinners at the weekends and one particular dinner will also be remembered as one of the most interesting. Our family was invited by a doctor/ and fellow Lions Club member to his house for a Diwali dinner, and I was quite excited as we'll be dining at the reclaimed land behind Island Plaza. The place where most expats and rich folks retire to.

It was really an interesting locale, as we traveled over 1km behind Island Plaza. Once we arrived, I marveled at the deco, they really had that aristocratic backyard feel. With stone eggs, animal sculptures, deers and fountains. It was magnificent, maybe I'll show case my own stuff in the future hehehe.

The food was delicious...veganlicious. Typical Northern Indian cuisine, with ice Kacang for kids and anyone who wants to cool down because of the humid and warm weather. Anyway, the most interesting thing that happened is that there are various international children over here. From the mixed Eurasion, to the pure bred westerners. Well Koreans, Indians, Americans, British and Australians I guess....I saw them running around playing tag or something, so I was really enjoying the nostalgic feeling.

My sister was dragged by this little cute girl named Moira, and it turns out that she's my sister's students in one of her day care center. Well how adorable, she's running around carrying her little stuffed dog who she had 1239842 names of it, now its named Flounder...heh. Guess someone just watched Little Mermaid eh.

Anyway, when I asked what game they were playing, the kids looked at me...and it really creeped me out...and yelled "We're ZOMBIES~!!

Me "..........."

Moira said , "Yeah! If we bite you, you'll turn into one of us!"

Holy crap. The girl's only 5-6 years old...and when I was at that age, I have no clue what the heck are zombies. I know indians, cowboys and police/thief....but ZOMBIES??

I'd run the hell away from little hyper zombie kids.

Heck I'd rather take my chances with Freddy, Jason and Jig Saw than a bunch of toddlers huddling around you, pulling your shirt/pants and biting you/clawing you/hitting and even scratching you. Scary shit....Halloween just passed but I guess it runs late here.

Anyway, I felt younger..or older after the day as I had a flashback of my childhood. When I look back, I smiled as those kids will have a wonderful life ahead of them.
