LP132 Wow Day- A day we spent quality time with 76 downsyndrome kids from Rumah Kesayanganku Teluk Panglim Garang. Love is not love until it is given away, we made a difference to the kids and their parents, pouring them courages to move forward.

Making a stand to the needies.







Joy happens when it meets love.






Doesn't matter who they are, loving unconditionally makes a difference.






Seeing smiles in others, i saw joy in my soul.










It was a wow, a wow day, to everyone.







Giving love is simple, share your love with people around.






I saw hopes in the kid's eyes.





The committee.


We performed some musics by household items, simple things can be very powerful sometimes.



Musics is all about passions.



Without the helpers, the event wouldn't have gone so fun.



Helping the others creates joys in ourselves too.





The clown broughts lots of fun to all the kids.





Some close friends that came all the way to support us, thanks my buddies~





Photo frame with kids' photos on it, it left special memories in them, remembering the wow day, a day that we made a difference in them.




Love is not love until it is given away, love every single person that we see everyday, life can be very beautiful if you want it to.


Vel! Vel! - A day of Penance and Thanksgiving

The bearers of kavadi, decorated by fancy peacock feathers is the main attraction of the festival.

Worshippers walking on the street.

Thousands of devotees made ardous climb against the masses at the 272 steps starway leading up to the temple cave to pray to the deity- Lord Murugan.





One way of doing penance, especially for children is to shave the head.



Some devotees pierced their tongues and cheeks with long skewers, hooks as a way of penance.




There were 600 stalls selling Indian traditional food and drinks along the street leading up to Batu Caves.




Kid in procession.




Devotees carry milk pots to overcome bad karma, some as penance for their sins, and others to honour a vow. Those fulfilling a vow have, in the past asked for help such as birth of a baby, healing the sickness of a loved one, helping them pull through hard times (Source: http://www.journeymalaysia.com/MCUL_thaipusam.htm)

Strolling on the path leading to the place we stayed, there were no cars no crowded noise, all it left was serenity.




I love the green quarter behind the long house we stayed.



I had fun playing with kids.





MNS Boh Centre






Max and Claris playing with the woods.





Dark blue upon light blue. Hanging around without purpose.






Sunrise taken from the room, hanging towels added fun to the photos.







Delicious pasta before we moved on. Slurrp slurrp.




The friendly sign that welcomed us.







On the way to Tanah Rata, morning glow shines the tea farm. We knew it's gonna be a good hike.






Age doesn't matter, perseverance counts.




Cool friends.





Shoes need rest too.




Resting time.







Drying up hair.



Kids playing with insects.



Joy.




Cute.
