Today
was a busy day for Archan Tia, early in the morning Archan Tia have to
go to Bukit Mertajam to bless a newly opening shop, he tell me in
Hokkien he going to BM to “wash shop” and I nearly laugh out load on the
phone not because he say something wrong but because its kind of funny
to hear such “local dialect” from him. The “wash shop” is something like
blessing the shop / office / company / building to make it “brighter”
so it will have better energy to attract more business and also to
remove bad spirit if any. Archan Tia back at 3:30PM and they are already
3 groups of people waiting for him, 1 Chinese family from Gurun, 1
group of Siam fellows from Pedu and another group of Siam teenage buddy
from somewhere near Nibong Tebal.
Archan Tia start with the first group to perform “Car Blessing” ritual (check out the
video)
follows by telling fortune and disease curing on the rest of the family
member. All these services are free of charge and all donations will
goes to the development of temple. Archan Tia never offer “extra” ritual
if you turned out to be really in bad luck, only he will suggest you to
perform “floral bath” and still it is free of charge and donation
based.
When
he is done with the first group, second one was sakyant and it took
about 1 hour to get 2 sakyant done on that Siam fellow’s back neck and
arm. He was recommended by his friend who just did the Singha sakyant
not very long ago, his friend feel that the sakyant is quite powerful
because it feels hot when Archan Tia start to chant, also he feels more
energetic after received the sakyant, so he recommend his friend to
here. Its already like 6PM when he is all done with 3 groups of
followers, now its time for him to show me the second attempt batch of
Nam Kwak that going to release for this coming’s “papha” event, he has
tried few mold to come out the best possible look of Nam Kwak before
start to produce in mass. This mold look better and I have take few
photos of it, will share on my next post.
