Thaipusam

Thaipusam was celebrated on 30th January which happened to fall on a Saturday. Arrived around 6.30am with a few mates at Serangoon Road, also known as Little India in Singapore. I am not going to elaborate on Thaipusam and it's significance as there are already many articles written on the event. One can just easily google and find it on Wikipedia. Here's a link : Wiki: Thaipusam
