Shot Our Whole Big Load @ Thaipusam Batu Cave

Will post up pics 1st before telling the story

 and the pics were Unedited~!

.
.
here the full report goes lahhh~
we were stuck in the mahai cibai traffic jam for more than 45 minutes and it was not even move
for 80meter .. 

.

then, we changed our direction and parked our car somewhere else

even after the nite supper "Kong Fu Chao Yin Yong"

and after some chat and washroom ...and after some walk

those the same bus was still STUCKED there

.
they were JALAT liao lah~~~   XD

..
oi yoh~ mahai ..si beh orang ramai leh
人山人海，看到你都会怕怕~！！！

.
ok lah, already here ...
my buddies - Yi Lek, Edwin & Christine(from left)

.
me, Christine & Yi Lek

.
.

.
come come come ... shave you bald bald~! only RM15/per head
I think they made a great business during this festival
I have no idea how many they had shaved d lah~~  

.

.

.
the usual act - SHOOT THE WHOLE LOAD OF IT

.

..

.
the Lord Monkey God

.
come come come ... all pose nicely ya~~

.

.

.

.

.

.
.
they thought we were sort of reporters  @_@"
...and they were not camera shy at all, they had asked us to snap a few shots on them
coOL~! at least this won't happen on Chinese festival
most Chinese/mat salleh(expatriate) were camera shy or they would beat the shit out of you
once they spotted you taking their pics~!!!

.

damn bloody packed!

you were virtually being pushed by the flow...
so, DON't try stop at the middle
snap pics also have to be smart, pls.. stand aside nicely to do shooting ya~

.

this was the temple where I had spent my nite

.

.
.
yup~ they operate 24hours ...and they would sleep there as it is ...

.

.

.

.
.
the auntie was very friendly, asking Christine to go in there and sit with her.
She even helping Christine to put on some accessories to pose for the shot
actually quite a few poses with different acc. but I would just post up
one of it here...   coOL~
seldom see this happen in Chinese festival
they would usually kick your butt off and ask you not to disturb them as they
try to run their business .. sigh... on the Chinese   =.="
the below pic, even though she might mean business strategy ...but once again
a definitely brilliant way to promote her business ..BRAVO~!!!

.

.

.

.

.

.
you see ...you see ...
packed boh???
if you suddenly stomachache here ... you ja lat liao~!!!

.

the Moon was very bright that night, mesmerizing beautiful ...

.

the temple was full of devotees and most of them had their nice sleep here
including me  ..  ^^

when coming to 3.15am, my members had to go back home
and I had to stay back coz there was no point that I going back home
and take all those trouble to come back here after an hour...
the Tamron event will start at 7.00am
.
.
.
.
i snapped this pic from my resting position(me in lotus sit position)

.
despite of RUBBISH  laying around on the floor,
still our Malaysian attitude of - "tak apa lah" long live forever ...
fu*k me lah... I still manage to get a nap(not sleep)
few separate naps of 15mins each, in lotus sit position...

.
.
mAHAi~!!! it was already 4.30am in this glorious morning and they were
still jolly playing those high adrenaline games...respect lah~
waH~  very noisy ...

.

.
.
it was 6.25am then ...
the 1st member I met at this KTM station was - Chin(will post up his pic soon)

.

.

.
.
Tamron members starting to call in participants

.
can't remember d ... was he called Vincent???

.

.
.
a Canon Rebel XTi model(US) also known as 500D or Kiss X3(Japan)
...but Silver color lehhhh~
sorry lah .. i don't like BIG shiny thing one, too eye captured and kinda show off ..
(that was my personal perception ya)

.
.
Autobots ..noW roll ouT~~~!!!

.
.

.

.

Good business???

.
the parade and all the sacred ritual of incisions were made on the river side
we have to cross the railway in order to reach there ...not far away ^^

.

.

.
.
lovely duo

.

.

.
.
the face of Proud Poke Hook

.
.
she got lots of emotion in this pic .. I like this one but not my best choice..

.
.
he was casting kinda blessing to the lady...

.
.
wtf~** he got a very stunned face here ...si beh HIGH liao lah~
probably got possessed ~~~

.
.
lets proceed to the river where they took shower there...

.
.
nah~ this was my favorite pic, my best shot...
what do you think ya? which one do you prefer?

.

.

.
the kids were scared of being submerse into the water or being bath in
such current .. or probably they plainly scared of cold ...or dirty water (Malaysia's polluted rivers) ...

.

.

.

.
.
most photographers love shooting kids
photo bugs like me will usually swamp/charge to the scene
once one spotted an interesting subject..

.
.
do they consider this as special subject to shoot?
kakaka~ 18sx

.

.

.

.
.
i also like this Guru's expression - very coOL

.

.
.

.
.
special musical instrument that I see it for the 1st time...

.

.

.
.

.

.

.

.

.
.
the Guru will 1st take his tongue out a bit

.
and directly poke into it
...mahai~ his look shows damn cibai painful leh~~

.
the Guru would insert his thumb into his mouth and press on the tongue
in order to some blood ...and do the anointment on devotee's forehead
as shown on the pic below

.
.
.
He: ..mahai~ looks damn freaking painful leh ...and a bit geli.. don wan poke lah~
(my narrated dialog)

.
.
oH~ mR.DJ~~~
this leng cai would use the loud speaker to sing those ritual song
so the devotee of Kavadi will gets active and excited when the songs and mantra
was read out... we can say he was the one to lead the individual devotee
each individual or a few devotees will have one assigned guy to do this job

.
.
they rolled it by themselves?
these were cheap self made cigar but it definitely serve it purpose
for getting them high ... do they have some hidden recipe in it????

.
