From the Grapevine again...this time about the Merlion

Please read the extracted article FIRST.

"The Merlion Statue was completed in August 1972. The statues' original location was on a landscaped promontory, at the Merlion Park, on Elizabeth Walk on the river-bank, at the mouth of the Singapore River.

It was officially installed at 8:45 pm on 15 September, 1972, by the then Prime Minister Lee Kwan Yew, on his birthday. Water spouted from its mouth in a smooth downward curve until 1998 when the water pump malfunctioned. The opening of the Esplanade Bridge in 1997 prompted the search for a new home for the Merlion as its distinguished position was now blocked by the bridge. It took two years to hunt for a site that would continue to let visitors enjoy an unobstructed view of the statue.

The new site, Merlion Pier, just off One Fullerton, is 2,500 sq m and four times larger than the old Merlion Park. The relocation and site cost S$7.5 million. Once again, the Senior Minister Lee Kuan Yew was the guest of honour for the official launch of the new site which took place on 15 September, 2002, exactly 30 years since it was built."


Psst, do you know which famous Master had advised on the location and date selection to officiate the installation ritual and moved Singapore from 3rd World to 1st? Do you know who is the 2nd Master who advised on the next location and allegedly caused the Nicoll Highway to collapse?

Dun quote me cos' I heard it from the grapevine too....will let you know once I got comments on this blog post :)

NB: The first Master purportedly has advised the government to clean up the river not only because we want to have a nice environment but also for a very noble reason. Do you know? Ok a bit of hint. Water usually relates to wealth and mountain to people. In the classic, it always say "山 管人丁水管财".

C'mmon, you know the answer la.

From the Grapevine...

I recently found out that our government officials are quite fengshui-conscious when it comes to the well-being of our citizens and the future generations.

The first anecdote that I am going to share is about our local hospitals. For your info, I learnt that the land where KK hospital is currently located was actually fengshui-ed (and the building's design too) by a Master to ensure that the babies delivered there will receive the noble, intelligent and healthy energy. That's good as worries about diminishing talent pool in our country will no longer be valid.

When I thought KK is already receiving alot of positive qi, I was surprised to hear that the best hospital to deliver your baby is actually Mt E. Why? According to landform fengshui expert, the hospital is built on Huge Door, a name for such mountain formation. Huge door is a wealth star (mountain). On top of all the positive traits, most importantly, it is also a star that helps to heal. Isn't this what hospitals should be looking for?

I heard from a friend that a doctor in Mt E managed to detect her health condition while another experienced specialist from a government restructured hospital failed to do so.

The caveat here is that, the medical fees are generally much more costly. Unless you are quite affluent, you may not choose to visit the doctors there. This could be also attributed to the fact that the qi there enables the hospital to draw this category of patients.

Now we know why they are high class hospital...

You say M.B.T.I but I use B.A.Z.I

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator or otherwise known as MBTI, is an instrument that provides individuals with a powerful understanding of their own and others’ personality preferences. By providing insight into personality differences, you can help people in your organization reduce conflict, improve communication, and ultimately work more effectively together. After more than 50 years, the MBTI instrument continues to be the most trusted and widely used assessment in the world for understanding individual differences and uncovering new ways to work and interact with others. Besides this, I have also been assessed by other personality profiling tool like D.I.S.C model which categorises people into 4 main group namely, the Dominant type, the Influence, the Steady and the Compliance.

Now there is another amazing tool which I often used is known as BAZI or one's Eight Characters based on their time of birth. This method was developed more than 2000 years ago. One probably needs to take about 30 minutes to do up the profiling tests. Frankly, BAZI gives me the convenience of taking no more than 5 minutes to assess one's characteristic including knowing his ambition in life, his passion, desire and even tells me if all these are in congruence. It also categorises people into at least 10 very basic types of characteristic. Seriously, I believe it can go up to hundreds or more!

The best thing about using BAZI is, but not limited to, it will indicate how this person views the people around him using the 10-God analysis in conjunction with the palatial influence. For instance, you will know why he is not happy with his father although he loves him so much. You can also tell what the father's opinion on his son.

Another example will be to look at the stars residing at the various palace to understand their intra and inter palace relationship. Then we will know if we should employ a person by knowing if he is a cunning, loyal, lazy or selfish staff. We also know what is his working attitude. Is he a skiver? Is he a good sales person or is he better off as a backend person.

Last but not least, BAZI has a value-added strength - it can determine the luck of the person. So, for banks, you may not want to hire a fund manager who is about to go into his downluck. Whatever decision he makes is going to cause losses.

So, you can continue to use MBTI but I prefer my BAZI. :)

Oh no, Pimple on my nose!

Yesterday, I woke up to discover this irritating thing on my nose. I know I am going to lose some money. This is a sign from the heaven.

Nose represents the wealth sector in our face. Having acne or pimple on any part of it does not spell good thing. I know that within the next 7 to 14 days, I will need to spend on something that may not be necessary. In worse case, one may misplace his purse, get a fine, lose money on mahjong or involuntarily donate to the stock market.

I think I better quickly go and invest on a big ticket item which I have planned to buy. Meanwhile, I need to take care of my wallet and make sure I check the change if I am paying in big notes.

Once, my friend had 4 pimples on his nose all waiting to be erupted. The following week, I learned that he lost about $50k in the shares he bought.

Arrrgh, I am going to 7 Eleven to buy Oxy 10 now......
