Although Deepavali today is not a public holiday in Sarawak, the celebration is not affected as the Indian-Hindu community here open their homes to friends, acquaintances and well-wishers in the spirit of sharing that befits the Festival Of Lights.
Even as Deepavali approached, the fragrance of murukkus being cooked pervaded an Indian household amid a ruckus from family members trying to get things organised for the big day.
On Deepavali Day itself, Indian homes are spruced up with kolams (a beautiful floor decor made up of coloured rice, flour or desiccated coconut), beautiful lambs and lights and other elegant decorations.
Families welcome guests throughout the day with an array of Indian delicacies amid at atmosphere of cordiality.
Oh well… HAPPY DWALLI to all.

Roti John' is one of our local street food. It is essentially an omelette sandwich, 'Roti' is the Malay word for bread, and more generally for any bread based food. The origin of the 'John' in the name is allegedly due to the Western origin of the Baguette and the tomato sauce used in the dish. During the years of British Colonial, all Caucasians and Westerners were colloquially and affectionately referred to as 'John' in Malay, and as such the nickname of 'Roti John'(literally 'John Bread') was readily formed. It's a simple and tasty .

A night of colour and splendours to mark MALAYSIA DAY.
The Padang Merdeka here was transformed into a sea of flags and colourful costumes of hundered of dancers in a ceremony to mark the deferred Malaysia Day celebration here.
Malaysia Day was on September 16 but since it fell during the Ramadan month. the celebration was brought forward to Saturday.(10/10/2009)
About 15, 000 people thronged the Padang Merdeka to witness the colourful presentations and cultural performances, which depicted the concept of 1Malaysia.
The performances truly reflected the multi-ethnic racial composition of the country and of the citizens living harmoniously, peacefully, in prosperity and united under one roof.
