HAPPY DEEPAVALI !!!

To all our Indian Frontliners... Mekananth(aka Megan), San Jeevan, Nareenthiran, Joshua Raj, Aaron Raj and Kannan... and all our indian(and non indians as well) readers around the globe... Happy Deepavali !!!

The Frontliners Floorball Club will resume training tommorrow at 3 - 5 pm. So make sure you are there after all the muruku, curries and chapati. Its time to get fit once again after the festive season.

During Deepavali, the Frontliners contingent visited Megan at his open house today at 3pm. The contingent includes coach Jason, Kai Yann, Sarah Ng, Sheryn Ng, Sharron Tan and Serene Tan. Coach Jason and Sharron Tan was the chaeuffer as usual.

Coach Jason prepared a warm up for all of them before they reach Megan's place. He made sure that everyone was in a Deepavali mood by blasting the radio with THR Raaga (the tamil radio station @ 99.30 fm .. check it out!!). While the tamil songs were in play... it seems the rhythm got into their souls... the whole car was flowing with the sounds of the tabla and sitar as everyone shook their heads and go with the flow. The was a heightened moment when the radio played the song(dunno the name of the song) which is also Kannan's(another Frontliner) favourite song. Experienced player Miss Sarah Ng... couldn't wait to reach Megan's place as she said... "Oh... I can't wait to DANCE later !!! "

As they reached Megan's house... everyone greeted the family... HAPPY DEEPAVALI !!!
The first impression that everyone has was that... Megan's house was very nice and clean. The interiors were very well done(everyone commented that his house was beautiful after they left).
They were first served with some good cookies and MURUKU(A must for Deepavali visits).

The Frontliners enjoyed first class hospitality from the family. For all of them except coach Jason and Kai Yann, it was their first time visiting indian friends on Deepavali. It was a good experience as everyone had to learn to use their hands to eat. Pei Li seems to be the one struggling with using her hands to eat. It is obvious that all of them weren't trained to eat with their hands. As they finished the food, everyone took their hands out and compare. It seems that Experienced Player, Miss Sarah Ng... has the most efficient technique of eating with her hands. Only her fingers got soaked in curry while her palm was clean.

Megan's mom is a good cook. The food was really delicious.

"If I close my mind I can go on eating and eating." declared Miss Sarah Ng.

She already had lunch before that. But it was finger licking good... that she eventually decided to close her mind... and continued eating and eating. Promising Youngster, Kai Yann ate at least 3-4 rounds of Nasi Briyanni. Everyone enjoyed the food plus the wonderful time of laughter.

As the Frontliners left the house, Coach Jason was still in a Deepavali mood(being the only person wearing indian dothi). He borrowed the DVD, " Sivaji " from Megan before they left.

"I'm a Rajinikanth(tamil movie superstar) fan" declared coach Jason.

Megan's mom couldn't help it but say... "no wonder you look like Rajinikanth. "

That was the Frontliners contingent visitation. Don't forget to keep yourself fit after the festive season. We will be getting ourselves rocking in training tomorrow. Happy Deepavali once again :)
