Do You Have The 3rd Eye?

I occasionally encountered interesting extraordinarily experiences such as "sighting" and dreams that I shared with my family and friends. However, such story would be interesting with photos. Right?
Like they sad, a picture is worth a thousand words.

Let see what do you think about this story with A PHOTO I took.

Last Thursday (26/5), I was back in Kangar to attend a family-related funeral. In the afternoon, my brother asked me to accompany him to the Che Yang Khor Moral Uplifting Society to pray homage to the patron saint "Su Chun". Che Yang Khor is a very interesting place that worship all the 5 major religions in the universe. "Su Chun" is the "secretary" between us and the supreme beings. After offering our praying, I just have the urge and took out my handphone and took a photo of "Che Kong" on the altar. Just A SHOT with my poor Samsung handphone.

That evening together with my brothers/brother-in-law and sisters/sister-in-law, as usual we have sumptuous sea food dinner at Kuala Perlis. While waiting for the dishes to be served, I was looking at the photos in my headphone and while panning the photo on "Che Kong", an "object" caught my attention.

I shall not disclose you the answer. But, I shall let your imagination runs wide to pick up the object I spotted here. I think it looks interesting if you have the imagination like I do.
So let see if you too have the "3rd Eye" to spot it too. Have fun.

#1. This photo was taken with my 1.3mp Samsung camera without flash. Enlargement is impossible due to its low resolution. However, the photo is quite sharp to see the object on below photos #5 & #6.


#2. Che Yang Khor @ Kangar, Perlis.

#3. See those 5 Major Religions posters above the altar?
They represent our 5 fingers.

#4. The Patron Saint on the altar.

#5. Here is THE shot of Che Kung (the closer statue) from my SamSung. Can you see something unusual here?

#6. Here is a close up view to help you focus on the object. See it yet?

#7. In case you still can't see it. Oh well... I have turned off all the light levels to give you a clue.

Hello 2011 & A Happy New Me!

Hello! It has been a while since I last blogged and worked on my BuddhaHand collection.

You see, I hit the Magic-50 mark and I decided to "SEE" Europe to test out my NEW ORGAN parts. (see below photos later?). They say life starts at 50.

Also lately I noticed my relatives & friends have problem recognising me. Just the other day, a friend walked passed me. I pretended not to know him just to "test" him out. 30 second later he called to ask if it was me at the mall he thought he saw. I can't blame him as he only recognised the old Kim Wong with thick glasses for more than 20 years.

So here I am now without the ugly, heavy and thick glasses!

Think I have an explanation to do here or it will get very embarrass for friends starring at me and ask, is that you Kim Wong?

When I turned 50 last year, I wanted to do 3 things to be "reborn".
1 - Go bald head on my birthday.
2 - Reborn with new eyes.
3 - Get a new birthmark - A Tattoo!

I went bald head like a new baby and my family was shocked, thinking that I am going to be a monk! They thought this has something to do with the BuddhaHand I am doing here.

Me went botak like an egg minus the 9 dots @ 50 on 18-4-2010!

I had glasses on since I was 10. The power kept increasing and increasing. In 2007, I stopped having my eyes examined. The last reading was (R)-9.50 and (L)-7.50.

I have long dreamt about going without glasses. More so for the conveniences and also to look at the world again like we were born to be with our natural eyes.

When laser eye correction was first introduced in Malaysia, I had always wanted to fix my vision. Then I heard all kinds of scary horrible stories from the local opticians, doctors and sceptic friends:
" Aiyoo, they said you can go blind forever"!
That was like 10-12 years ago.

When I turned 50, I thought I need to rebrand myself for my 2nd life with "new" pair of eyes.

So I went about doing some research on the internet and asking around. By now they are like 3-4 laser vision correction centres in Penang. All claimed they are good and cheap!
Aiyoo, which one to choose?

Then I heard my two young pretty nieces have their vision 100% corrected by Optimax. Later, their mother also have her eyes corrected at Optimax. I remember my sister-in-law was so happy with the whole new experience, on the 2nd day after the procedure she invited me to a Rm75.00 buffer dinner at E&O Hotel.

With the good feeling, I visited Optimax at Island Plaza, Penang for the screening. Guess what?

I was surprised after 50, my eyes are still in good healthy condition with just a slight yellowish lens. The tissue is so so healthy and clean.

I was recommended to do a LASAK procedure instead of the normal LASIK after a good total explanation and consultation with Dr Lee. You can google more about LASAK.

My D-Day was 12-11-2010. The rest is history - just 20 second (10 second for each eye) with Optimax's professional team hand, I was "reborn" with new eyes!

A "NEW ME" - 3rd day after the D-Day

Ok, I am sure you want to know is there a risk to go for this procedure at my old age and both eyes at the same time.

Frankly, in my opinion it is a 50-50% balance scenario.

50% lies with Optimax here. You see they would not do it unless you are a good candidate. Here you are in good hands of Dr. Lee who has 12 years experiences in this business. In fact, I don't mind paying more even though other centre offers me a better deal. You simply don't risk your precious eyes on cheap offer!

One thing I like about Optimax is they treat you like their value customer even after the procedure. Most of the staff there know me by my name and they are very cheerful, friendly and polite. They call a very forgetful me to remind about my appointment. Their 6 months after surgery follow up is excellent. No more hidden cost and nuisance.

During my follow up visits, I have been asked twice by Dr. Lee if I have any problem driving at night. I told her I have been driving regularly since 2 weeks after the procedure with perfect night vision - no halo and radial light problems. I can see clearly the car number place and road signs. She was surprised and impressed with my results so far.

The other 50%? It all depends on you.

That you have to psychologically prepared for it. Both physically and mentally.
Like for healthy eye tissue, I take daily 2000mg of Vit. C, Omega 3 fish Oil pills and A-Z multi-vitamins. I also do regular meditation to prepare for it. I have done this for many years for the D-Day to come. I can really go cheong-hey (long-winded) here.
But if you dropped me a line, I would love to share with you more on the "before and after" on my experiences.

My advice is if you are going for laser correction vision, go for the very best in the business, go to Optimax. Trust me, you are in good professional hands. If they have done it right for my nieces, my sister-in-law, many more success cases and myself.....you can't go wrong here.

Hope my experiences here will help you to achieve the same dream here - Yes, a whole new experience of NEW VISION, NEW WORLD AND A NEW HAPPY LIFE.

Go for it?
Ahemm....make sure you mention I, WONG KOOI KAM / File No: P6536/10 recommended you. If you are from Penang, please give me a call on 017 476 7788. Over a tea tarik or Char keow Teoh, I will share a "little secret" with you.

Oops! And now see what I did first to "test out" my NEW VISION. Yes, I got excited and took off for a month WINTER holiday touring London, Berlin, Paris, Rome, Florence, Pisa, Venice, Milan & later a month SUMMER holiday in Sydney for CNY. That is what we are talking about celebrating and enjoying a new 2nd life.

Please enjoy my photos below and thank you for visiting my blog.

P.S. I am looking forward to make more master pieces BuddhaHand.

Full Moon

When I first saw this stone in a fish pond at EBell Confinement Centre, I instantly felt in love with it.
It was very dirty, covered with green mold. But I could identify its uniqueness from the water surface.
You see, this is the 2nd time in my life I came across such a perfect rounded stone.
The last one I found one was like 8 years ago.
I asked the owner, Magdeline if I could have it. She said, sure!

It is very rare to find almost perfect rounded stone shaped by the nature.
I'm lucky to find this piece.

Guess I have to turn this into a masterpiece.
Think I will name it "Full Moon"

Kechara Collection

Back in Sept, 2009, I came across Kechara in the Star article "Trendy Buddhism".
I was interested on this Buddhist organisation founded in 2000 by His Eminence Tsem Tulku Rinpoche of Gaden Shartse Monastery to avail the ancient wisdom of Buddha's teachings to practitioners in Malaysia and the surrounding regions.

You can visit their site here:
Kechara House

I visited Kechara centres at Petaling Jaya and Penang.

There the beautiful Lama Tsongkhapa's statue caught my attention.
The hand gesture portray the classic Dharmaachakra Mudra, which represent the gesture of teaching usually interpreted as turning the Wheel of Law. The hands are held level with the heart, the thumbs and index fingers form circles.

Here are my first 2 pieces work on the Kechara Collection.
So just imaging "touching" Lama Tsongkhapa's hand on the stone?

Hope you like them.

Tell me what you think?

Thank you for visiting my blog.

Tell me what you think about the idea, layout and my BuddhaHand works?
Comment and suggestion are most welcome.

Hey....today I turn 50!
I thought what a way to start a new life after 50, is to have a new baby bald head.

Anyway, please stay focus on the blog and give your opinion on the blog and NOT on the bald headed guy!

Thanks.
Kam Wong

Note: Oops...the big "fat" face is because when I smile, I stretch my cheek too... wide. The big head is obviously due to work pressure!)

A Blessed BuddhaHand - How is done.

Should the BuddhaHand be blessed?

If you are going to place it on the altar, I strongly you get it blesses.
You can easily get it blesses or "Tiam Gan" by the high monk/sifu of your favourite temple.

Here is a piece at my old house in Kangar, Perlis.

My brother took it to Cher Yang Khor Moral Uplifting Society and has it blessed. You notice the "RED" brush marking on the stone? I applied a coating of clear lacquer spray to protect the brush marking. The idea is later you can clean it with clean flower water.

With a blessed BuddhaHand stone, now you can "feel it and be touched by it".
Isn't it how you want to engage the Kuan Yin in praying?
YES! You touch its hand.

Make sure your hands are clean before you touch it!

Brian's Kwan Yin Collection - Penang

I am now working on a new collection - Brian's Kwan Yin.

Last November 2009, I joined the Penang Heritage Trust on a site visit in inner George Town city. We visited Brian's house who has restored a dilapidated house and filled it up with his antique Chinese/Strait Chinese collection.

His Kwan Yin at the door front caught my attention.
This is the most beautiful Kwan Yin brass statue I have ever come across.

Wish I could afford to own a similar statue but then let "fell and touch" its hand with my new collection.

I have spotted a nice angle to bring up its hand on the stone.
Here are the photos!
