Photo of the Day: The Prosperity Kolam (+ My Cartoon Mooncakes)

Was in Pavillion this afternoon. Met up with Terri for lunch. Caught sight of this beautiful 'kolam' at the main entrance of Pavillion. Only then did I remembered that Deepavali is around the corner, like 2 weeks/3 weeks away? The beauty of Malaysia is, we are never short of colourful festivals - Hari Raya for the Malays, Deepavali for the Indians, Chinese New Year for the Chinese and many more in-betweens. A constant marathon of holidays. Never run out of excuse to party. :)
***
'Kolam' is a form of painting drawn using coloured rice by female members of a family in front of their home. Kolams are thought to bestow prosperity.
And these are the mini mooncakes that I put a gun over Terri's head (T-Cakes) so that she'll make some for me. Super duper cute right??? Got Garfield la, Daisy la as well as Hello Kitty, the mouthless celebrity cat!
