thaipusam (part 1)

it seems like jus yesterday

thaipusam was like damn freaking fast... from 7 feb, night prayers, the nex morning we went to see the chariot procession...wah my murgan was realli hot man..haha...we went to tank rd from there moving to south bridge and then to line road...afta the procession we wen to tekka to collect all our flowers and stuff afta which we wen to collect our lorry for the nex day and den going home to prepare...the process continued till we reached temple...it seemed there was a big crowd outside temple and we couldn't go in cos of the milkpot devotees, so we waited outside, lucky my bro was outside waiting wit his chariot..things running in my mind...how am i gonna do my duty well...wat if i saw boo...how would i feel...and den she came...i was jammed for a sec...but i tried to ignore her as much cos my dad was around...seeing her...my frens ask me talk to her...i was like, shut up idiots, appa still here...well awhile later she talked to me for awhile and gav me a packet milk to giv my sis
entering the temple awhile later...we were shocked to c the emptiness in the morning compared to previous years, it would be jam packed...and than the usual rituals and prayers, poking singing...and den we left the temple..my heart started to shiver...i was hoping, i should never make a mistake. and den we started singing and dancing...but uncle was like rushing for awhile.probably the hooks on the thigh were killing him...and den reaching komalas...a random man, a fren of my dad started singing slowly...my uncle stopped walking and started dancing slowly,i was like, wth!!! i'm singing like a non-stop radio but here he is dancing for another guy's song...
afta that we continued....reaching dhoby gaut... they had changed the lanes and i was like how are we gonna pass...suddenly my uncle took the old path pushing the TP away...i was stunned...from a distance a chinese volunteer was kneeling down and crying and praying at the sight of the chariot...my uncle stoped infront of her and gav her a fruit from the murugan..how sweet..
walking towards tank road...critical part of the journey...my family members were begining to get into trance...and i wasn't able to do a shit abt it...i was like...nex time i'm not gonna come if people were gonna do this...even my dad was doing it...wa...hopefully we reached the sanctum safely except tt my sis fainted rite infront of the temple...and her milk pot fell...luckily an unknown boy, believed to be the physique of the old man inside the temple was the one who caught it b4 it fell...
one thing i noticed...boo's milk packet was tied to my pouch!! i din realise it till i reach the sanctum, with a satisfaction tt i did it for my darling, i gav it to the priest to bath the god, and they actually did the bathing for me to see wen i tot they were gonna poor into buckets....
and den i wen home with the guys
one more prayers and 1st duty was over...i a satisfied
