It's not difficult to find one.
Try the following temples:
i) Ti Gong Beo at Havelock Road
ii) Sheng Ong Beo at Toa Payoh
iii) Ti Gong Beo at Telok Blangah.
Usually Yue Lao Xing Cun carries a red string :D (to match-make, lah)...

Like what Bro Reborn had posted, actually Yue Lao in Spore is not uncommon, is only that ppl seldom go to "seek" match-making from him nowadays :P
Besides Yue Lao, ppl can "seek" assistance from Yuan Gong Yuan Po, Tai Yin Xing Jun or even Guan Yin, but all these are just folks practises. :P

Hi,
I new here, I need advice on the proper procedure to pray to Ti Gong? Is there a mantra that I can chant and ask for blessing?
Also I am rather confused about some statements, some told me that Ti Kong and Jade emperor is the same others told me that they are different. Please someone do enlighten me.

Hello TTeo,
Firstly, a very warm welcome!
Ti Gong is a Hokkien term for the Jade Emperor.
There is no standard protocol for praying to the Jade Emperor or Ti Gong. Various Taoist master or senior will have their own procedures/method. As long as you pray sincerely, your prayer will be answered.

Hi TTeo,
Sheng Ong Beo at Toa Payoh is one of the many temples in Shuang Ling Shi.
There's also a famous Guan Yin temple and a Buddhist monastery.

Hi Reborn,
Thanks for enlighting me, it is a great help. I was at Ti Gong Beo at Havelock Road and I felt rather lost and have no idea on how to proceed. To make matter worst english and teochew is what I can only speak. Fearing accidentally offended the protocols of prayers and the sequence of paying respect of each deities. What I was certain, as instructed by the temple personnel was to start praying facing the sky, the main shrine and go left or clockwise.
But I was left with about 6 incense sticks, have no idea where to place them. And simply stick the rest into the main urn. Is that the correct procedure?
Sorry for long message.

Hello TTeo,
The usually practice is first pray to Jade Emperor(Ti Gong), then the Or Leng General(usually represented by a black flag); then the main deity, then right side deities, left and others. Tiger General last (not because it has lower ranking but this is the norm). If the temple have numbering system, just follow the number sequence.
In Havelock Road Ti Gong beo, the sequence as follow:
i) 3 joss stick in front urn (use the bigger joss stick);
ii) 3 joss stick in the main urn,
iii) 3 at Tai Sui/He He Shen
iv) 3 at each sides - heavenly Generals
Behind:
v) 3 at Di Zhang Wang/Mazu/Wei Tuo
vi) 3 at Buddha/Guan Ying pusa,
vii) 3 at Sheng Mu Niang Niang (right)
viii) 3 at WangMu Niang Niang (left)
viv) 5 at Tiger General
Hope this will help.
Regards
