In a crowded housing estate of Jurong East stood a temporary tentage from a local sintua, Qi Shan Tua. On the opposite there was a music record company which played a few religious songs. It was commonly seen as a religious event but to have some background music from other sources can make the event became more grand and lively. The sintua was having its annual celebration and our daoist priest was there to conduct a ritual of thanksgiving.
Though it was a week day, many pilgrims turned out for the celebration. The sintua has also engaged a troupe of lion and dragon dance for performances before sending off the Jade Emperor. Out of curiosity, there was a child who observed a high statue of Da Ye Bo aka Qi Ye and told his parents that the tongue of that statue has been fallen. The parents were very anxious and eventually prayed to the Da Ye Bo on behalf of the child for its forgiveness due to the child’s ignorant of everything.
