The triumph of light over darkness. That’s what the festival of Deepavali is all about. For Singaporeans who celebrate this Hindu festival, it is a busy time of year with lots of festivities but also lots of preparation. Here’s a step-by-step guide, with a few funny true-to-life quips, of what happens every year when Deepavali comes around.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15 Things to do BEFORE Deepavali day\"diwali-divider\"<\/h2>\n

1) Research which Bollywood or Kollywood star you are going to channel this year<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There’s so many beautiful saree fabrics and traditional designs, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when you go shopping! Pick your glamour before you go – what colour, what style. Having a rough idea in mind will help.<\/p>\n

\"Shriya_Saran_(8124157828)\"CC 2.0 \/\u00a0Gordon Correll<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

2) Go shopping for your new saree\/kurta<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Usually turns into 3-4 shopping trips with the girls \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"sarees\"<\/p>\n

3) Clean the house. Fight with Amma\u00a0because she says it’s not clean enough, but you say it’s too early you’re going to have to clean\u00a0again before the actual day what’s the point?!\u00a0<\/strong>Admit defeat and clean the house.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

4) Head to the Deepavali Bazaar.<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Buy firecrackers, tea lights, decorative lights, lanterns and all sorts of colourful stuff.<\/p>\n

Buy embroidered cushions that look nicer than Aunty Devi’s.<\/p>\n

Ask your husband which curtain looks nicer. Realise he’s colour blind and pick the one you wanted anyway.<\/p>\n

If you lose the kids, check the shops selling carpets — they are probably rolled up like a hotdog in one.<\/p>\n

Where:<\/strong> Along Campbell Lane and Hastings Road,\u00a0the annual Deepavali Festival Village<\/a> bazaar has run for almost 20 years. THe iconic bazaar sells all sorts of festive goodies. It runs till 28 Oct.\u00a0There is also the newer bazaar\u00a0located\u00a0opposite Mustafa Centre\u00a0known as the Deepavali Fair.\u00a0.<\/em><\/p>\n

5) Make your threading appointment to tame that forest above your eyes<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It’s the festival of light, not the festival of frights. Just kidding! But you know how well-shaped brows are all the rage and Indian girls know the power of\u00a0threading well. Go get those\u00a0perfect brows to frame\u00a0your\u00a0face. Book early, this is peak season.<\/p>\n

\"shriya-eyebrow\"<\/p>\n

6) Witness the 2016 Deepavali light up<\/strong><\/h4>\n

On Sept 17, there’s a ceremony to begin the Deepavali Light Up that runs till Nov 12.\"Deepavali,_Little_India,_Singapore,_Oct_06\"<\/p>\n

7) Deepavali Baking & Snacks<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Start making the murukku. Remember last year that cousin started making murukku too,\u00a0your<\/em> specialty? <\/em>How dare she!<\/p>\n

So, start curling that murukku to a perfect crunch.<\/p>\n

If you don’t have enough of Patti’s recipes, here are some recipes for Deepavali snacks<\/a>. I can’t vouch that they’re any good, but you might find some inspiration!\"murukku\"\u00a0CC by 2.0 \/\u00a0Sanath Kumar<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

8) Shop for lots of pretty jewellery<\/strong><\/h4>\n

There’s no better time for the bling bling.<\/p>\n

9) Get henna done<\/strong><\/h4>\n

I love these! There’s lots of salons that do beautiful henna along Little India. Or you can make an appointment at Vanessa beauty salon<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"henna-feet\"CC 2.0 \/\u00a0Nujee<\/a><\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

9) Make sure the bar is stocked\u00a0and poker cards are ready for all the uncles<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Guinness, annai?<\/p>\n

11) Collect your new saree. <\/strong><\/h4>\n

Put it on for a test run. 3 hours later…\u00a0Feel like you’re reborn as Aishwarya Rai. Gonna rock this!<\/p>\n

\"aishwarya\"<\/p>\n

12) Is it Deepavali yet? Can’t wait. I’ma go dancing with my makkal at clubs that play Indian Music.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

13) Get everything ready\u00a0to make the best kolam the world’s ever seen<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Here’s some tutorials<\/a>.<\/p>\n

14) \u00a0Make sure the oil lamps are safely positioned in every room in the house<\/strong><\/h4>\n

The heart of the festival traditions is going around the house, lighting each oil lamp before the sun goes down. So the house stays in the light all day on Deepavali.<\/p>\n

15) Clean the house again<\/strong><\/h4>\n

It’s almost time!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

15 Things to do on the day of DEEPAVALI<\/h2>\n

\"diwali-divider\"<\/p>\n

1) Wake up early. Put on your new clothes for the morning temple visit<\/h4>\n

2) Beautify yourself<\/h4>\n

Fight for the bathroom.<\/p>\n

Ladies, give extra time for your battles:<\/p>\n

Battle #1<\/strong>\u00a0Survive 10 safetypin pokes as you fight your saree. Remember to pack safety pins, essential for survival.<\/p>\n

Battle #2:<\/strong> Put on your pottu\/bindi. Remove and redo until it is sitting perfectly in the middle of your forehead – or until stickiness runs out.<\/p>\n

Battle #3:<\/strong> \u00a0Win the eyeliner battle. Complete transformation into saree queen.<\/p>\n

\"putting-eyeliner-on\"Weknowmemes.com<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

Men,\u00a0put on the kurta, feel stylo milo, slick your hair,\u00a0admire yourself in the mirror.\u00a0Play\u00a0Dota while you wait for everyone else to be ready<\/p>\n

Lookin good, everyone!<\/p>\n

\"eyebrow-gif\"<\/p>\n

Take a family selfie before you leave the house. Make a funny face in every photo until someone smacks you.<\/p>\n

3) Visit the temple<\/h4>\n

Meet the community, fulfil the rituals,\u00a0welcome the festival of lights. Deepavali Valthukkal!<\/p>\n

4) Light the diya<\/h4>\n

Before the sun goes down, gather the family and the light the diya (oil lamps) around the house.\u00a0Bring light into every corner of the house.<\/p>\n

\"diya-deepavali\"\u00a0www.durgautsav.com<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

5) Time for the feast of Indian food<\/h4>\n

Later in the day, head to Tata’s place for a family feast<\/p>\n

6) Eat lots of ladoo<\/h4>\n

7) Get red cheeks from every aunty pinching your cheeks and saying you look cute like a ladoo.<\/h4>\n

\"pinching-cheeks\"<\/p>\n

8) Stop eating ladoo<\/h4>\n

9) Everyone has arrived. Dinner time!<\/h4>\n

Congratulations on surviving all the questions when you’re getting married, when you’re reproducing, why you’ve put on weight… Let’s eat.<\/p>\n

10) Enjoy the feast with your family<\/h4>\n

\"indian-food\"CC 2.0 \/\u00a0albyantoniazzi<\/a><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

11) Dinner is over. Suck in your stomach and try to look natural for the rest of the evening<\/h4>\n

12) Go outside and play with sparklers with the kids<\/h4>\n

13) Gather round with your full bellies and watch a film by Superstar Rajnikanth or cry over Khabi Kushi Khabi Gham (again).\u00a0\"rajini-kanth-2-o\"<\/h4>\n

14) Try 5 times to\u00a0break up the elders letting loose so you can go home<\/h4>\n

It’s late. You’re tired. Either the uncles are having too much fun with their card game, or the tea lights seem to have rekindled the youth of the aunties AND uncles\u00a0so they’re now doing the Bhangra.<\/p>\n

So you’ve asked 5 times if we can go home. Get lucky the 6th time when Aunty Lakshmi starts snoring. It’s time to go.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

15) Hug goodbye and thank your hosts. Wonder how you’re going to fit into your clothes\u00a0for the second round of visiting tomorrow.<\/h4>\n
