Altar

Finally decided to have an altar at home! Cos only Hb and I will occupy the entire house. Plus Hb has his own business. Best to have our own altar at home. We have decided to pray to Guan Yin Goddess and thus the hunt for an altar began. Actually it wasn't much of a hunt cos' we spotted something that we liked at the first shop we visited via the catalogue that they showed us. Then at the 2nd shop they have the actual unit on display. So on the spot we said OK.

There are however, 2 options. Without a top (as per photo above) or with a top (as per photo below). Personally, I felt that since our altar isn't very huge (think it's 3ft in width), we can have the top. That way, our goddess will have its own background (no need to share the same colour as the wall behind it) and that there will be a light shining on the god statue always. Plus, smoke from the incense won't reached the plaster ceiling so quickly. So ya, that was how we decided to get the one with a top.

 

Price was RM1,088.00 at first but because my parents also bought a different altar from them, they reduced the price to RM988.00. Hb paid a deposit of RM300.00 on 15-December-2012. Delivery date is set on 26-December-2012 and day to "On San" will be on 7-January-2013. A week after we move in on 31-December-2012. Now the next urgent thing to do is to get a Guan Yin Goddess statue that we both like!
