Had to stay an additional day to collect the transcripts and the degree documents from the university. Therefore, we had some spare time in the morning and happened to go to the temples along the Waterfall Road.

Well, a short trip to Penang to attend my brothers graduation ceremony in USM. Happened to stay at the Guest House in USM. Expensive ...yet quite an old and rustic set up... have some pics from d room too.

As a member of the AXTAC Club (Citroen AX - Tiara Club), we were presented an invititaion to participate in the parade of car clubs. A few snapshots of the various clubs and the cars displayed.

At night, visited Batu Caves. The crowd was sill big and kavadis still coming in when I left at around 12 midnight. Traffic flow was much easier compared to the previous years. A great place to visit during Thaipusam. Over 900,000 devotees attended the festival today.

The Thaipusam Celebrations in Port Klang Murugan Temple. This is the first year they are celebrating in a large scale. What I could gather was that all preparations were made over the last three weeks. There weren't much Kavadis though due to the short notice. Food prepared by the Hindu Youth Association also ran out by around 2pm. Anyway, it was nice. Totally around 100,000 people attended. I was told that this temple is around 160yrs old now.

Last day in Camerons. Basicly, not much activity. Just checked out Robinsons Falls in Tanah Rata and then a few places in Ringlet and back home.

Today was more concentrated on the other two towns above Tanah Rata i.e. Brinchang and Kea Farm. Raining throughout the day therefore making it difficult to go to more places. Anyway, most of the places listed on the maps...even the farms have now become so commercial that you would need to pay an entrance fee of RM3 to RM20 to visit. The greatest fee was from the Strawberry Farms which said visit and pluck yourself...but under the circumstances that only 2 pax allowed and a minimum of 1/2 Kg of strawberrys need to be plucked for a fee of RM20. Even food in normal restaurants are very expensive...but thats understandable as their cost is higher due to transportation cost.

This year, decided to spend Deepavali in Cameron Highlands. Well, ive been to Camerons before a few times but its not as cold as it used to be before. We stayed at Greenhill Apartments which belongs to Heritage Hotel. A good place to stay.

Im actually leaving for Malaysia the next morning and since today is a Sunday, I had the whole day free to my leisure. Hence, I decided to go around the temples in Colombo and visit them one by one.

On a business trip to Sri Lanka. Just around Colombo. Not much pictures taken on tourist mode. Just some pictures here and there.
