It's been great to be at Batu Caves this year to celebrate Thaipusam this year as I managed to followed the silver chariot from Sri Maha Mariamman Temple which started its journey from Jalan Tun H.S Lee. The journey of me myself, my sis, Dash, and my roomate + her mother, as well as her cousin started around 1.00am heading towards our destination, Batu Caves. FYI, this is my very first year joining the crowd and I managed to walked for 14km. Can u beleive it??
Along, this wonderful journey I was looking a lot of people who are paying their vows. Some are doing it for a reason and some are just doing it for the matter of thankfulness to God. Eventhough, it's been a wonderful journey to me, bt i would also like to point out some dissapointment among some of the devotees who joined this crowd.
First of all, the mat rempit (or should I change it to Macha Rempit since they are Indians) on the day showing off their wonderful stunts and skills thruout the journey. I would tell u that I'm so proud to be an Indian. These people is enough to spoil the wonderful journey. I just cant sort out their reasons of being there.
Thank God that we managed to reach Batu Caves around 5.30am, climb up the stairs and did some prayers up there. That's between me and God. Lets keep some secrecy okk. So went back after that. On the day, i reached college and at nite we went back to Batu Caves. This time we have go by public transport since no one to fetch us up. So pity aite.
And here starts everything. It was ok until we reach the Sentul Komuter station, but the next train exchange to Batu Caves was the starting point where I was so dissapointed and frusrated. I have been waiting for almost an hour while waiting for the train to arrive. Here u can see different characters of people. I bet u. U missed the oppourtunity. At one point, I just feel that there are so many people who are just acting thruout their life especially girls. Why just cant be urself?? Do you know how many times i felt like to slept ur faces.
We reached Batu Caves and had a lot of fun...hahaa The main reason we are there to have our prayers but eventually we saw the fun fair at our first sight. It was just like bringing back all our childhood memories back in us. U should be there and u'll know the feelings.lol After i spent some time there, we managed to get back to college around 7.00am in the morning.
Actually, one of my reason to get to Batu Caves was to get 'Kondattam' Cd which is specially releasing for Thaipusam featuring Balan Kashmir of Klg Sqwad, Saran, Phillyroca, Kanna, Altimet, D'Navigator and many more, but not my luck on the day since I couldnt find their booth there...haiizzz
And one more thing, I got the oppurtunity to snap some photos with actor Haridass and Burn who were there to promote their cd's. Omfg!! Haridass is so handsome to meet in person and he is so friendly as well. He deserves great credits for his Uruvam movie.
This was the events that took place on Thaipusam. A great day that i had there and wonderful experience to be shared here in my blog. Till will catch u up soon. Peace!!
p/s: will upload some of the pics taken soon!! so dun forget to check it out again..
