Haha...I got a 'Dai Kat Chim'(Big good fortune) with Japanese writing on the good fortunes written on the fan. The simple meaning that says I can achieve all the great things in life
whether it's for good health, wealth, love and wisdom so long I wish for
it I would surely get it. The Japanese/Malaysian tour guide told me so and he
even asked me what kinda wishes I hope to achieve as he's curious you see. He said in
his 20 years been a tour guide in Japan, he have never met anyone who have this
most auspicious 'Chim' before as the others may only have 'Kat' or average Chim
only. Never before this 'Dai Kat chim', "Really!" he sweared to me.
And my response was, "Oh,
really?Haha...I just wish to have a good health". Then he said, "Wish for more lah as this 'Chim' has mentioned you can get everything you asked
for like a magic lamp." But I reasoned with him, "Health is the ultimate wealth. Once you have a good health, everything would come naturally, eventually." And so he agreed with me finally.
Before I pray in this shrine, I need to wash off my sins at the
ancient 'Perigi' just outside this shrine which is near to the forest. The tour guide told us that
morning we're all so lucky to be able to reach up this 5th level of
Mount Fuji as with only good weather then we have the permission to reach up here. For the Japanese, safety always comes first above everything else.
Most of my friends who came to Japan never get to tour this 5th
level of Mount Fuji because according to them, no luck that day. It's all about
luck, must be in good weather and having good fate to be able to pray in this temple/shrine.
And when I wash off my sins that day, I told myself I'm still a human
who tend to make mistakes but I'm willing to change, repent and do good
from now on.
I felt 'Chan Kuai'(remorseful) for all the mistakes I have
made along these years and I'm willing to accept new good faith in
life. After the washing, in wet I went in and pray wholeheartedly to what
I really want, asking for forgiveness and hoping to get very good blessings in
life. I donated the required fees and I playfully searching for the best
'Chim' (fortune fan) of my lifetime.
Haha...I finally chose this 'Chim' and showed it to Rambo to
translate it for me. He's so happy as he said it's a very good 'Chim', a
very good sign of happiness for me. Yahoo! I shouted out with glee. And
after enjoying enough of Mochi, Rambo also took so many of it as it's really yummy with hot Green Tea, I got myself an 18k Gold Carat Mount Fuji coin from a machine nearby.
It's limited Edition, only
available in Mount Fuji so called a memorable souvenir to reminisce our
good memories here in Mount Fuji. That's when the tour guide saw my 'Chim' and the golden coin, he explained to us about luck, the Chim and why is it so special to be able to
reach up here that day.
The next day in Kyoto when we visit a famous temple with
the Tiger (Rambo) and Dragon(Jacinta) welcome pillars at the front temple, the
tour guide taught us how to pray to the Buddha with 3 times clapping with
both hands and wishing what we hope to achieve in life. So he went as the first
worshipper, he wished for a good health just like what I've shared with him
yesterday. Haha...I'm so happy that he actually learnt something real fast.
That's why he's so blessed to have a Semi-D in Cheras after 20
years of hardwork in Japan. And all of us following and wishing for good health as
well. This Japan Tour is one of my
best holiday ever as all of us are very blessed people coming as Doctors, VP of a reputable bank and Businessman/woman together with our Japanese Driver aged 70, but still a healthy man
alive. I guess all of us played real good roles in bringing good lucks for a
safe Japan journey along the 7 days with MAS. My best memoir in Nihon really!
