宝贝的假期作业（1）

这个最长学校假期，妈咪返乡了。赖小朋友没有选择的余地，得跟着balik kampung。妈咪没能一如往常地带他到处趴趴走或者找找朋友叙叙旧（承懿也可以乘机认识几个小朋友）。这几个星期妈咪的重点会是外公，不是承懿（不好意思地说）。

妈咪带回来一“小”堆功课（呵呵！我是mg妈咪啦），还有棋盘、PSP和他最近很爱的叠杯，可以让他不至于太闷。

还好宝贝的姨妈很有心，在周一晚上赴宴把外甥一并带往，让承懿有机会参与印裔同胞的婚礼，开开眼界。两天后，妈咪给了他一份额外的假期作业。。。

The First Indian Wedding Dinner I Have Ever Attended

Yesterday was my  first day back in Penang. Well, that was good because me and my aunt were invited to …wait for it…

An Indian Wedding! Hardly believe it, right? Well, no doubt.  This happened (even if you do not believe it)!

Anyway, that night, I got myself ready. I put on my best clothes, which was my favourite Ben-10 t-shirt and a pair of blue jeans. Then, I set off towards the wedding with my aunt.  The wedding was held in a school hall! Wow, spectacular!

In front of the entrance, there was a “kolam” and a statue of the Elephant God. The Elephant God is the god of the Hindus, whereas a “kolam” is a beautiful floor pattern made of colourful rice.  At the entrance, there were a few people wearing their traditional clothes, and in them they looked grand.

When I entered the hall, the wedding had started. Were we late? No, because it was a “first come, first serve, first leave” dinner.  In fact, the guests were busy “attacking” their curry and rice. I gulped, because I had a feeling my tongue was on fire when I ate the curry rice. Luckily, as they did prepare some ice water (for putting out my flames).

After eating, me and my aunt went up to to give a card to the bride, who was wearing a traditional sari. She thanked us both. After that, we went home.

This is the experience of the first Indian Wedding Dinner which I have ever attended.
