Hi Folks,

What a nice lazy Saturday afternoon, reminds me of this song.



Anyway, let's carry on with Fung Sui, yeah?

An introduction to a famous entity in Singapore.

‘The Venerable Sek Hong Choon, a well -known monk in the Malay Archipelago.

Venerable Sek was born in 1907 (2nd Age), came to Singapore in 1938, thereafter went to Penang in 1943 to be the abbot of Mio Hiong Lim Temple where he met Wu-Chang Sect Geomancy Grand Master Yu Xi-yin. This chance encounter made the Grand Master accept the Venerable as his selected disciple to impart the Xuan Kong geomancy theories.

Therefore in 1965, Venerable Sek officially returned to Singapore to take charge of the building of Phor Kark See Temple. Venerable Sek Hong Choon devoted his time to the Buddhist faith. It is a great loss that he did not impart his geomancy skills to any of his close disciples or they were not interested in the material gains’

Quote courtesy of Master Victor Li from Hongkong, part of it edited by me.

Now today, let’s look at tilting of doors from an example from Raymond Lo’s book of Feng Shui Essentials.

Here, he gave an example of Venerable Hong Choon audit for Hyatt Hotel.
For flying star chart to go along, you have to do the plotting yourself. It is facing NW1, Xu or 戌 at Age 6.

Here it goes,

‘In Singapore, there is a very famous feng shui story about the Grand Hyatt Hotel on Scott’s Road. This is an ‘Age of 6’ building with front facing northwest 1.

The main entrance in the NW has water star 8, which is good but it is “future prosperity” during Age of 6. So its effect is slow. Hence the hotel did not enjoy good business when it was opened in the sixties. The most prosperous star at that time is water star 6 which is located at the back of the building at SE sector. And the other prosperous water star 7 was trapped in the centre. So the local management decided to try Feng Shui. They engaged a famous monk called “Master Hon Chuen” and he is a Flying star practitioner under the lineage of Master Tham {or some refer to as Master T’an Yang Wu of Liu-Fa Fengshui,}

It is said that since Master Hon Chuen recommended some feng shui changes, the hotel suddenly gained prosperity and maintained good business until today.

What has Master Hon Chuen done to the Hotel? The most obvious is that he changed the angle of the doors at the main entrance. The entrance was facing NW1, he turn all the doors to 45%. That means all the door now faces N1.

If we look at the flying star chart of “Age of 6” building facing N1, we will easily understand why he did this. By turning the doors to face N1, the doors will get water star 6 energy which is exactly what is needed at that time. Besides this, he also put a water fountain in the entrance, and this is to activated the good water star energy in the NW. Since then, the hotel have been very prosperous until today. What about Age of 7 and 8 ?
We must not forget that the main entrance is still in the NW location with water star 8 in the flying star chart for the building and star 8 now takes over to continue the prosperity of the Hotel for both periods.’

That's all, folk.

Have a lazy afternoon.
Cheers.

Still in hibernation, meaning not active in forums, ha-ha. My apologies.

A Blind Man In Texas


There once was a blind man who decided to visit Texas. When he arrived on the plane, he felt the seats and said, “Wow, these seats are big!” The person next to him answered, “Everything is big in Texas.”

When he finally arrived in Texas, he decided to visit a bar. Upon arriving in the bar, he ordered a beer and got a mug placed between his hands. He exclaimed, “Wow these mugs are big!” The bartender replied, “Everything is big in Texas.”

After a couple of beers, the blind man asked the bartender where the bathroom was located. The bartender replied, “Second door to the right.” The blind man headed for the bathroom, but accidentally tripped over and skipped the second door. Instead, he entered the third door, which lead to the swimming pool and fell into the pool by accident.

Scared to death, the blind man started shouting, “Don’t flush, don’t flush!”




I' m hibernating....

Nothing to fear

Can’t think of what to write today. Ha-ha, not to worry, thanks, I’ m not affected by the present economic gloom. For those affected, not to worry too much, since you’re already there, prepare for war.

As in Sun Tzi Art of War, do you have enough provision to fight it on? No, then retreat if you have sufficient provisions to fight another day. Zero provision, then accept the reality of defeat and your wrong decision. Start anew, how? Let me tell you a story,

Three month ago, I had done a fengshui audit for a young chap in his thirties through affinity.I am old, Man, ha-ha. He is an IT engineer with financial, work and family problems. After doing his birth chart analysis and seeing that he is in Heaven Void and also in unfavorable luck cycle which he would not understand, and therefore had told him simply that he is in a bad luck cycle for 2 years starting last year. He then agreed, saying he had started a business in computer gaming for his wife in his goodwill to occupy her time and also hoping to have an additional income. However, the business flop in 6 months and he lost about 200K which he had taken in credit from banks and now is laden with debt. Workwise, he have problems with his junior staff who were out to sabotage him in his mind. Family problems arise with him blaming the wife for not following his wishes of running the business as she would sometimes go to the shop and sometimes not, the shop would be closed.. Wife also blaming him for changing the normal lifestyle they have initially which was comfortable and which I will agreed. Of course, in an audit, we are not out to create further problems for the client but to analyse the situation and gives our 2 cents worth.

Let’s look at his house fengshui first, without making it complicated. He is sleeping in a star 5 room. No choice as most pre-designed HDB flats do not give ones the luxury of choosing a master bedroom with good stars. Told him to put a string of six coins there which he dutifully did. Next told him to put a water fountain at the hall for water star 8 but met with problems with objections from the wife. Two weeks later, with a lot of frustrations from problems, sms me ( I don’t take phone calls, ha-ha) to say he feels like divorcing his wife which he feels is creating the present obstacles in his life. I had then sms him : ‘Try to reconcile’ at which he still sms back :’Why?’ I had then cannot just because the wife had objected to my suggestion of putting a mini water fountain and to consolidate his belief in my so-called power in his mind associated with fengshui practitioner, to encourage him or to disparage the wife. I then just sms him back ‘What about your lovable 2 year old daughter?’ I am not that kind of Holy, you know to spend some more time to check his wife’s merits to give him another view, me BAD.

After not hearing from him for a month, he sms me : ‘Urgent, need to call you.’ At which I then sms back: ‘Ok’ sensing the urgency, don't ssk me how I know. He then start telling me that he feels like giving up on himself and contemplating suicide due to his debts with debt collector harassing him. I , of course, first being curious about the cure I recommended for his bedroom for star 5, had then asked further whether there was any recent change in his life. At which, he then replied that his superior had transfer him to another department which he is much happier now with the junior staff having no communication problems and he has less stress now.In my mind, I was then wondering what did water star 5 got to do with career? He then start asking if there is a way of making him suddenly have some money to solve the problems as he claims that with his take home pay, after paying debts, he worries that sometimes he might not even have money to pay for baby foods. Even the wife now has to chip in by taking up a part-time job at which he was also unhappy as he was worried that a third party would come in. I had then ask: ‘I thought you weren’t bother about your wife and wanted to divorce her for being a jink?’ He then kept quiet about it.

About wealth enhancer for fengshui, we are not magicians, right? Sound like we are getting to be more of a counselor and not CON sultant as one practioner had indicated in his blog I then asked him frankly who was the one who decided this course of action to start a business, his wife? Does she have the money to decide about it? So who will have to pay the price for the mistake?. We have to accept our own mistakes at times and look at possible solutions. I had then told him another story of a client of mine who was a millionaire which unfortunately I had met while he was in shit. Don’t know why I can’t still get referrals like Bill Gates or Li Ka Shing, not for money but for my portfolio so that I can, in the local slang, action a bit, ha-ha. I then told him if a millionaire like this guy can just file for bankruptcy, what is pride? It’s not end of the world yet, right? “Take this course of action. At least your income is protected to maintain your family expenditure and you have no worries with your baby food. We Singaporean have a lot of value in mind of the declining population and our government sure will take care of us." Mind here, I’ m not encouraging anybody to do that, ha-ha. Or then maybe, he was hoping for a miracle from me which is not possible right? Now after a month, still got no news from him and so should be good-news. Now tonight thinking about it after all, a Bank like Lehman Brothers can file for protection under the Bankruptcy Act, what about us?

Hope I’ m not a bad guy in your minds.

Sweet Dreams, why sweet, ha-ha, don’t ask me….

As usual,

Who should be responsible?

Hi all,

As usual,

Looking at solutions,

There was an engineer, manager, programmer and a driver, going down a steep mountain road.

The brakes failed and the car careened down the road out of control.

Half way down, the driver managed to stop the car by running it against the embankment narrowing avoiding going over a cliff.

They all got out, shaken by their narrow escape from death, but otherwise unharmed.

The manager said "To fix this problem we need to organize a committee, have meetings, and through a process of continuous improvement, develop a solution."

The engineer said "No that would take too long, and besides that method never worked before. I have my trusty pen knife here and will take apart the brake system, isolate the problem and correct it."

The programmer said "I think you're both wrong! I think we should all push the car back up the hill, drive down and see if it happens again."

Some quotes about perceptions,

“If people from Poland are called "Poles," why aren't people from Holland called "Holes?"

"I am" is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. Could it be that "I Do," is the longest sentence?

Ha-ha, nah, I’ m not changing my blog theme on metaphysics.. Just to protect myself from negative vibes with some humour, copied elsewhere, where else?

As usual,



Anyway, about what we can learn from dogs (also copied, ha-ha), to end the day.

If a dog were your teacher you would learn stuff like...

- When loved ones come home, always run to greet them.

- Never pass up the opportunity to go for a joyride.

- Allow the experience of fresh air and the wind in your face to be pure ecstasy.

- When it's in your best interest -- practice obedience.

- Let others know when they've invaded your territory.

- Take naps and stretch before rising.

- Run, romp, and play daily.

- Thrive on attention and let people touch you.

- Avoid biting, when a simple growl will do.

- On warm days, stop to lie on your back on the grass.

- On hot days, drink lots of water and lay under a shady tree.

- When you're happy, dance around and wag your entire body.

- No matter how often you're scolded, don't buy into the guilt thing and pout... run right back and make friends.

- Delight in the simple joy of a long walk.

- Eat with gusto and enthusiasm. Stop when you have had enough.

- Be loyal.

- Never pretend to be something you're not.

- If what you want lies buried, dig until you find it.

- When someone is having a bad day, be silent, sit close by and nuzzle them gently.

Ha-ha, good-night.

It can't be worse, right?

Communication

As usual,

A bachelor who lived at home with his mother and pet cat went on a trip to Europe. Before he left he told his best friend to inform him of any emergencies.

A few days after his departure, his cat climbed up on the roof, fell off and was killed. His friend immediately wired him with the message: "Your cat died!"

In a few hours he was back home, having cut short his trip in grief and anger at his friend, whom he told "Why didn't you break the news to me gradually? You know how close I was to my cat! You could have sent a message 'Your cat climbed up on the roof today', and the next day you could've written, 'Your cat fell off the roof' and let me know slowly that he had died."

After a quick memorial service, the bachelor left again to continue his trip. A few days later he returned to his hotel and there was a message waiting for him from his friend. It read, "Your mother climbed up on the roof today."

Ha-ha,




Finally our dear friend, Master Tony Tan of Harmony Academy of Metaphysics is back with his posting of the Zi-Wei Astrology in a forum.

www.fivearts.net/index.php?referredby=537

Here it goes,

Tiantong is one of the two Major Stars that are well liked by the traditional Chinese society because it is peaceful and non-antagonising. It is of Yang Water and it represents blessings, or blessedness. The other Major Star that gets all the praises is Tianfu the Finance Minister. In a feudal society, an element in the society must be conforming and not rebellious. Tiantong the Contentment Star is not so much about being a conformist, but it definitely is easy going.

For the 14 Major Stars other than Taiyang the Sun and Taiyin the Moon, which need no explanation in their names, I have preferred to personify the rest when giving them English names. However, out of the twelve stars, there are four that are not easy to do it. If I were to stick with naming Tiantong as an officer, it can be likened to one who takes charge of dining and entertainment for the Emperor. Obviously, there is no common name in English for such an appointment, but from the description, it will help one to remember that Tiantong is about going for fine taste and pleasure in life, and not about fighting for achievements in life, or to conquer life. And, by adding the English word contentment, one would have a good grasp of its basic traits.

Basically, Tiantong the Contentment Star is the least driven to go for high achievements in life, unless what the person enjoys doing much does provide room for achievement. This implies that a Tiantong person has to go into trades that he/she loves in the first place. It could be food and beverages, hospitality trades, beauty trades, the music industry, and so on, and I realise that an area in the modern world could allow many young Tiantong people to be accommodated: the computer gaming industry.

Some classic texts described a Tiantong structure that is placed with Lucun the Treasurer and Hualu the Flow Enhancer as excellent. I beg to differ, if it is not a structure that comes with Tiankui and Tianyue, the pair of Auspicious Stars that brings great opportunities. If Tiantong the Contentment Star person is blessed with double Lu (Lucun and Hualu) but not Tiankui and Tianyue, the subject can become too indulgent in emotions and hobbies, without determination or any fighting spirit. Rather, it is good to have an Adverse Star in its structure to provide it with stimulant and drive. Alternatively, a better Tiantong is one that is attached with Huaquan the Power Enhancer, and the combination makes a person more pragmatic.

A special feature of Tiantong when it is placed in the Self/Wealth/Career Triangle (Sanfang) is that there are many chances in life to strike out into some hobby business from scratch, and I call it the start-anew nature.

In interpersonal relationship domains, the blessedness of Tiantong indicates generally good bonding with the counterparts, except in Love Domain, where its start-anew nature may also rule, suggesting bad omen for marriage. Thus, Tiantong the Contentment Star in Love Domain does not give a straightforward analysis.

Looks like the economy is temporary back to Zero. Murphy's Law : 'What goes down must go up.' HA-HA.....

As usual, this time, a movie, ha-ha...
