Deliciously Me

Still in CNY mood, but need to start with something to ‘hardworking’ myself! So, I start by blogging! Start with something lighter – like an appetizer, I chose to blog about Thaipusam first, rather than going straight to heavier post like Cambodia. I always wanted to join the colourful Thaipusam parade, but there were nobody to go with. Once I had the chance to attend during my secondary school year, but at the end didn’t make it. -.-”

This year, the opportunity came. As excited as I were, I was sleepy too – as the initial plan was to go there at 2 in the morning to avoid human traffic.

But it got delayed 2 hours. Lol.

It was still pitched black when we reached there. It wasn’t as body-sticking-jam as I expected. It was a breezy walk with colourful, lightened tents of gigantic pictures/statues of Hindu deities put up by companies on both sides of the Jalan Air Terjun (Waterfall Road).

Before reaching the main temple, we stopped by a temple on the right side of the road. We took off shoes and then joined the queue coming from the side of the temple. I did wonder why didn’t we walk straight in to the main altar of the temple to pray first, but if everyone prays to the small temple first, then why should I do the opposite? Lol.

Nervously, I asked B “what should I do?” as we were nearing the temple. He answered, “observe. See how they walk and what they do.“

Fearing that I might do mistake, he told me that every steps to the temple will usually odd number.

“Begin with right leg and you’ll end up with right leg too when you reach the top. Also, use your right hand to take thing. Never use leg hand as it signifies bad luck.”
