Many thanks to Dana for giving me the chance to witness Thaipusam, up close & personal! "Thanks too for your patience, gurlfren!" for answering the many questions I had due to my sheer knowledge of Thaipusam.

I'd also like to thank Mr. Rajesh, Deputy Officer of HSE (Health, Safety & Environment), for his overwhelming information of this religious ceremony.

With much surprise and awe, this fantastic live experience has given me an insight into the myriad customs and culture.
