KUAN IM TONG HOOD CHE TEMPLE - Singapore

KUAN IM TONG HOOD CHE TEMPLE

WANT ANSWERS TO YOUR QUESTIONS?

WANT TO FIND OUT TO SOME ANSWERS?

Perhaps a visit to a Temple, such as KUAN IM TONG HOOD CHE TEMPLE in Waterloo street, you can have a go at this for FREE!
Other Temples do it to, I have tried, and unbelievebly, quite a few things came true!

What you have to do is enter the Temple, pick up a bunch of sticks and two pieces of red wax from the counter.
Kneel before the Goddess, shake the bunch of sticks, and one will fall out of the can onto the ground. Next, toss the 2 pieces of wax, and if one lands facing up and the other lands facing down, that stick will answer your question.
Do not put the stick back into its holder (that stick has a number), but return to the counter where a slip of paper will be given to you with the answer in English if a tourist.

If the 2 pieces of wax both land facing up or down, the stick on the ground will not answer your question. You'll have to replace the stick in its holder and re-do it all.
