batu caves

last sunday i was at batu caves with my family. its been a while since we went to pray together at any temple for the matter of fact, since thaipusam, so dad took us there. it was fun, as i always liked batu caves, the atmosphere, the sheer SPACE (weird huh?), and best of al, the scenery that never cease to amaze me. it was raining, more like a heavy drizzle i would say, as it was not actually raining, it was like some sort of misty spray, very fine droplets that kept the surrounding very cool and clouded with  a whitish tinge. nice.

no monkeys or birds though, disappointing, but nevertheless, there were humans to keep me entertained. i mean that in a very good manner, as there were a lot kids that had their ears poked and heads shaved that day, so it was kinda fun to watch, kids running around screaming their lungs out, playin in the puddle with their best clothes on, which in turn drove the oldies into a fit of frenzy, gosh  it was happening. yuppie, temple = happening. where else can you get this if not in our own backyard? 

tourist flocked the place, rain or shine as usual, with garlands dancing from their neck, babies cradled in their carriers, snapping away to the activity that  flamed off when the clock ticked close to 8 pm, and calmness returned back to the place, after all the activity that took place, one wonder what happened to all the energy and enthusiasm? but that was not the case, 'cause as the place became brigthly lit up, out came the monkeys! hehehehehehe... enjoyed very much before returning home to prepare for the following days' exam..
