Dashain

Dashain is the longest and the most auspicious festival in the Nepalese annual calendar. The fifteen days of celebration occurs during the bright lunar fortnight ending on the day of the full moon. Dashain commemorates a great victory of the gods over the wicked demons.

Halloween 2015

My first halloween pumpkin.

I am less scared of Halloween this year so I dressed up and went trick or treat with my neighbours. I told mummy I wanted to be a beautiful-scary-princess! 

Boo-hoo-hoo! 

Happy Halloween!

Dashain

Dashain is the most auspicious festival in Nepal and of Hinduism which signifies the triumph of good over evil - the victory of the Goddess Durga Devi over the wicked demons. It takes place in the bright lunar fortnight of September / October time. This year, Dashain falls over the period 12-22 Oct. It is akin to Christmas in importance and effect.

Labuan weekend

We had a long weekend in Labuan - an island in Malaysia, north of Brunei. Papa and his colleagues had a rugby tournament here. 

 This was our little ferry to Labuan island. 

At the rugby field, I spoke some Malay to my local fans. They were very impressed ;o)

On Sunday (4th Oct) we celebrated Papa's 37th birthday. He had a relaxing Malaysian breakfast in bed/sofa.
