Thaipusam


Thaipusam is an Indian religious festival in Penang. It falls sometime in January or February and is a public holiday in Penang. It is celebrated mostly by people of Indian race in Penang for three days.


This is the second time i join this festival. I have this chances to join is because they held infront the main road of my aunty house, the road was kindly blocked, so you need to parked your car far away from here and walk in the street if you dont want to have traffic jam after you go back home. So we parked the car far from here and walk to my aunty house. When you almost near the streets you can smell all the flowers flavor, it's smell like a flower perfume. And they have many store and some will play the music loudly and some Indian will dance with the music. Some even give rice to the Indians, they're so kind. You also can see many man carrying a heavy kavadi. I think infront of Karpal Singh house is the most lively places, because he is a popular person. And I also took a picha with him.




He is quite old as you see. And still have the red dot and white powder on my head! I dont know what did they mean about this , maybe have some special meanings. 


We are Indians too ;DD 

After we visit Karpal Singh, we were waiting for throwing the coconuts! Same as last year, daddy bought 100 coconuts for us. The coconuts are on FIRE! 


After smashing those coconuts.  It's quite fun while smashing those.



It's fun that you can join this festival, you can know more bout the cultures. Is there any chances i can join them for third times? I dont know, it depends on my parents. And i hope 2013 will be a good year for me and you guys, and the wishes i make will come true. 

Goodnight. xx
