Mundane (Astrology)

.

For the past few days have been quite mundane indeed. Did not really enjoy the Xmas with my family. Day-in- day-out has been doing the same thing - playing and looking after my sons who suffered a bit of bad tummy. I have told my wife about this last month and I fulfilled my own prophecy - which I did not want it. My sons sleep in a room with the door having the dynamic stars combo of 1, 5 this month.

Knowing this, the only cure is to take preventive measure. But how do you remind 2 mischievious and playful toddlers not to put things in their mouth or constantly apply sanitiser on their hands? Maybe tie them up? Fortunately, knowing that this may happen, me and my wife tried to clear our work and prepare ourselves for any virus attack. We took stock of our kitchen cupboard to make sure there are enough wet tissues, soy milk powder, nappies, stomache ointment, Pedialyte (in case they run into dehydration) and etc. We also make sure that we bring them to PD asap (don't even dare to think of self-medication) because we know the power of such virus. Thankfully, they recovered fast but it has definitely taken a toll on all of us. If you think your life is not challenging enough, my advice is try babysitting a kid. *Heave*

While the whole episode has tormented me emotionally, mentally and physically (it was heart-wrenching to see them suffer), I still tried to keep my sanity by responding to my clients' questions on their bazi and office feng shui via emails. I also receive 3 new feng shui cases over last few days - mostly on designing the fengshui for their new house.

What excited me most is my current collaboration with a peer who has been using western astrology to predict the performance of certain stocks. I am a novice in western astrology and hence, when everyone is asleep during this holiday season, I stayed up to midnight to mug a big book on the topic. I am using bazi to corroborate my findings with his western astrology calculation. We are checking on alot of stocks and to drill down to how each stock performs on a daily basis. This is really really very very exciting for me.

I welcome you to join me in this topic or share with me your views or experiences.

Cheers and Happy New Year!

Secret Formula to Feng Shui Success

.

I cannot believe I have found the secret formula. I think I have wasted my many years of learning and practising feng shui.

I was at a mega mart this morning and chanced upon this book. I think I must be blessed. Wow, it must be the best day of the year - maybe my main door has all the white stars at that hour -that actually triggered me to flip to this topic about remedy on missing corners.

It says that if your wealth or love corner in your house is missing, you simply install a mirror there to reflect and "extend" the space so that the void is "filled up".

It also highlighted that this is the feng shui secret that not many people know.

Now, I have a problem. I am staying at 14th floor of an apartment with my wealth corner of Period 8 missing. I guess I have no choice but to hack down the wall and install a mirror.

Not sure if the authority will approve my plan. Not sure if in the market they do sell huge wall-size mirror. Damn, the author did not say if I should turn my mirror towards the outside or towards the interior of the house.

This must be the secret that I need to pay for I guess....sigh.

Blink - that guided intuition

.

Got a request to select a flat yesterday. Usually, before I step out of my house for such assignmet, I will open up the bazi chart of that day, at that moment to cast a divination. Well, the star in the palace representing the house was not positive. In addition, there was a punishment. Blink.

When come to house selection, I am always more kiasi (Singapore lingo) or cautious. Anything that compromises on the heath aspect is a no-no. My client is already predisposed to certain health condition relating to woman. So, I must ensure that the house does not aggravate her condition. Instead, the energy should heal her.

When the elevator door opened, a lady greeted us. She was limping. Yes, she just injured her ankle and was bandaged. Hmm, not so good sign. Blink. [If you look at the flying stars chart, you will know why she injured her ankle. The Tai Sui has triggered the 8 4. Come next year, the son would suffer.]

I took out the luo pan, checked the sitting and immediately plot out the chart. It is a Period 6, South (Bing) facing house. See the layout here. Main door combo is a no-no. My client and her family, the outgoing tenant and property agent were eager to know the answer. The agent seemed to be praying for a YES.

Few people know that I also use San He at times for my audit. So, I checked again on the Na Yin of the house. Bloody hell, the needle pointed to a big Kong Mang in the 72 dragons. Need not say more.

The whole process took me 15 minutes the most. We then wrapped up everything and adjourned to the nearby coffee shop for the famous duck rice stall...

Ding Tai Feng

Ding Tai Feng is the name for a famous local chinese restaurant chain. I quite like the fried rice and especially the delicious 小笼汤包. It is their chef-recommended dish. There is always a queue infront of entrance and it sometimes take you more than 20 minutes to be seated. The prices are not that cheap because the restaurants are located in prime shopping malls but still, it is a resonably good place for families who want to gather for dinner.

I am not sure if many people know about the derivation of the name of the restaurant. If I am not wrong, this brand name was borrowed from a famous restaurant in Taiwan which is named after 3 hexagrams viz, Ding, Tai and Feng.

But why these 3? Reason is simply because they are arguably the more auspicious hexagrams among the 64 hexagrams family.

Their full name, for your info, is as follow:

Ding : 火風鼎

Tai : 天地泰

Feng : 雷火丰

Nothing got to do with Name Analysis. This is one of the many examples that I-Ching or Yi Jing has influenced and infiltrated our daily life. Alot of chinese words or phrases that we use today are actually borrowed from Yi Jing.

For instance, we say that someone is 八卦 (ba gua) if he or she is busybody; or something has 变卦 (transformed gua) when a plan has changed.

"Palmist raped her claiming it would end her bad luck. -Daily Chilli"

She is really in bad luck to have bumped into such crook.

Her palm looks like 断掌. That may explain her predicament. So sad.
