Thaipusam

It's a public holiday today (11th February, 2006) in some states in Malaysia, including Perak. So don't shoot me for the delay in shipping out your package HAHAHA

What is Thaipusam?
Thaipusam, a day of consecration to the Hindu deity, Lord Murugan, sometimes also called Lord Subramaniam. A feature of the festival is the carrying of a kavadi, a frame decorated with colored papers, tinsels, fresh flowers, and fruits as a form of penance. (excerpted from here)

Happy Holidays!
