a blessed day...

thaipusam was on the 1st of feb...together wif city day. so it was a public holiday for both selangor and wilayah. both my parents got no work on tat day. sam oso didnt work so we all went to batu caves together. suppose to invite along how ee but then my dad had to do someting before going to BC. so didnt call her along. she invited me for dinner the day before. it was nice. first time trying her cooking. we had prawns, salmon, vege and potato and spinach egg soup. yummy :P
that afternoon, i met up wif ee von, a college mate. we met up in 1u together wif her mum and bro, we talked a lot lor. she's going to curtin before cny so she asked me about stuff in perth. her mum really liked me for some reason. they invited me for dinner bt i told them i oredi have plans wif my fren. so after tat i went to tmn tun to look for how ee at her cousin's florist. went over to her place for dinner and she gave me flowers :D
so the next day my parents, sam and i went to batu caves. after roti canai we took the lrt down to gombak then took a bus to the caves. wahliao...as usual every year oso fully packed wif ppl...
goodness....i wan squashed...my dad had to protect my mum so she didnt get lost in the crowd. me on the other hand walked wif sam. she covered for me ahahaha...should be the other way around cuz im bigger and taller mah :P
got pushed, got stepped *ouch*...
so hot and sticky...its not a very nice feeling but who cares...im there to pray and see kawadis...
many devotees....piercings everywhere...on the mouths, backs, arms...*OUCH*...
amazingly...they dun suffer from any pain at all!! no blood after removing those spears and hooks..how i noe? i asked them la of cuz...
i even saw them removing them...it looks extremely painful trust me...
i wanted to bring my camera so tat i can capture some pics but i was rushing so i didnt bring along a single ting..not even 10cent...
i cant remember how many steps we had to climb before reaching the top of the caves..
we prayed and watch along..my mum asked a lord tings about my family, me and my bro's education, my dad's businness and all tat lor..wat HE said was so true...its not up to me not to believe....its truly amazing how someone who noes noting about us say tings about our current lives...
last time i dun blieve cuz i tink tat my mum told 'them' everyting about my bro and 'they' would just say someting similar in return...
tis time i blieve because my mum just told HIM where my bro was and how old is he and HE told my mum about my bro..saying tat he has many many frenz and he is a very intelligent boy...saying tat he plays hard and studies hard...thats just part of wat HE said about my bro...others i cant tell la...its personal ppl :P
as for me...its all good...my dad too...same as for my mum...
when i knealed to get HIS blessings, he gave me flowers instead of leaves...all got leaves except for me :D
so we walked along and decided to wait for a chinese Lord...
while my parents were toking to some strangers...me and sam were watching the kawadis pass by..
then we saw tis indian lady..she was carrying a bottle of milk to solute the GODS..
she stopped and pose for the camera..then she stopped in front of me and i smiled at her...u noe wat she did???
she summonned me!!! she called me to go forward...
i was a lil scared so i didnt go forward...sam pushed me in front saying tat i have been called and ask me to relax...
she later called my parents...
then she showed sign language..asking me to not be afraid of HER..
she asked for 'beevotess' (blessed ashes)...so that she could put it on my forehead..
she kept asking us to not be afraid of her...
and then she did a smiling sign...saying tat she is happy tat i smiled :D
so i got BLESSED by HER...then her followers said tat she is the Lord of the snakes..
they say next time if we were to come across a snake..dun kill it...just let it pass by...
after that she continued walking...and we moved back...
then an elderly man walked up to us and told us if we knew wat was going on..y were we being called by her...
he said tat she is the possessed wif the LORD MURUGAN..tat's like the 'leader' of all...he said that i am lucky and blessed cuz she asked me to come forward and not me going forward on my own...
tis sorta ting happens not everytime...it oni happens to very few...and i am one of them!!
to some ppl they wont blieve in such tings cuz they have their own religions like muslims, christians,chatolics and many more.
as for me...i blieve that there is oni one GOD and HE alone is watching over me...
i may be a buddhist but i dun critize ppl's religion...
everyone has the right to choose...like many of my frenz..they tell me that they are free thinkers...SO BE IT...it doesnt bother me at all..bt dun tell me there is no such thing as GOD...
enough about this topic...later some ppl will get misunderstood....fai si la...
went back at abou 4pm....the weather was great...
wasnt sunny and was a lil windy..
suprisingly...when we were in the caves it was cooling..
so for the 3rd consecutive year i have climbed up the steps of batu caves to pray..
im glad i did.....next year i will bring my cam..so tat i can get pics :D

later i will write about a great nite out at Flam @ SP...
stay tuned... :P
