Buddha Exhibit
Went there last sat with mummy and 2 younger brothers.
Its such a long and tedious journey that i felt im the Monkey who accompany the Holy Monk Tang San Zang(my mother) together with 2 disciples, Piggy n Sandy(my 2 bros) to complete the noble task of seeking the Holy Scripture at the South(Expo).
U see.....we took the train there...all the way from Yewtee to Expo...the journey should be 1hr+++...though i dare not take note of how long becoz i will sure condemn myself for spending the long, precious time juz to view some holy artifacts...which who the hell can prove its real...blearhhhh~~~ Upon reaching...we spend another 1hr+++ juz to queue to get in.......and maybe a total of 1hr+ to queue inside the hall for some special "stations"...
E.g. 1) Praying to the Golden Statue of Buddha in a golden shrine by kneeling on the red-carpeted steps, whereby the tibetian monk laid a big fan atop my head and then fanning me twice with that fan...for wat significance i donno... (FREE)
E.g. 2) Putting your names on a piece of gold-plated thingy to be slot into a mini-tub of rice, which is gonna be placed on a multi-storey platform, so-called for the god's blessing. (PER TUB $2)
E.g. 3) Getting buddhist bands to be tied on your hand by tibetan monks (FREEWILL DONATION which i contribued ard $10+ for a total of 4bands coz Mummy not enuff cash--->to be suspected =P) and shit i juz realised NOW wher the hell my band goes.......i guessed i dropped it on the day itself, it din even have the chance to view my hme =(
E.g. 4) Turning the Wheels...eh..ther's supposed to be a name..but i donno wat...there's a series of small wheels which u turn in one direction after which followed by the turning of a GIGANTIC WHEEL. And shit i've turned all the mini-wheels in the wrong direction(right) and only the gigantic wheel in the correct direction (becoz its turning by itself anyway). Alas....they should have put the Guidance Chart which wrote the correct direction to turn BEFORE the entrance where u proceed to turn the wheels instead of AFTER U HAVE FINISHED TURNING ALL THE WHEELS!!! Imagine after we stepped out from section of the wheels and came to stand upon the gigantic chart which says "....wheels are only to be turned in the left direction."
-_-''''''''''' (Above entertainment=FREE)
and some others la......cant remember all...
there are also nice cute "stations" like bathing the buddha la...different zodiac sign different statues wor...this one beri long queue. There are also many real-life pictures of overseas priests....holy shrines...temples...which i glanced through with little interest. Oh and i oso made a wish by throwing a $1 buck coin into a hollow space on a gigantic turtle-shaped statue. Well there's quite a frenzy around it with many ppl..which kinda influenced me to feel wishes wished upon it will come true....though im wondering along the way will there be another ostrich-shaped statue..or..elephant-shaped...with the exact hollow to cOn more $$$. hahaha! And all the along the way there will be those opportunists who approached u to build some "fate with the buddha" by donating $$-->BULLSHIT...otherwise the enthu selling of the special booklets..history books...accessories...buddha discussions..talks...alot la..
U should know la...eldery are always so believing of such things...and willing to spend big bucks on it..thats why everytime my mum received a brochure from someone....with some sweet-smiling talker hunching their backs lurking nearby...i always bery gan chiong...with my knitted brows..
