1. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise. 2. Genuine Feng Shui is not about purchasing lots of commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. 3. Always asks: "Must I buy from YOU". 4. In fact the greatest culprit today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. And they are more interest in selling so called "Life-style" products then actually dishing out proper Feng Shui. LOL +++ 1. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise. 2.

In fact the greatest culprit today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. And they are more interest in selling so called "Life-style" products then actually dishing out proper Feng Shui. LOL +++ You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization.

The above analysis captures the historical and cultural logic behind the taboo extremely well. Let me expand a little on these points and offer a contemporary perspective: Reasons Behind the Taboo 1. Large Family Size & Economic Limitations: In agrarian societies, having many children was common—each an extra pair of hands for farm work. But come marriage time, the family faced enormous costs, especially if several sons reached marriageable age close together. Most families were of modest means and simply couldn’t absorb multiple wedding expenses at once. 2. Tradition of Brides Joining the Groom’s Household: The custom of a bride moving into the groom’s family home intensified the pressure. Not only did the family have to provide for their new daughter-in-law on a daily basis, but they also needed to accommodate her physically—meaning more rooms, food, and related costs. 3. Dowry Obligations: In many Asian societies, weddings involved substantial dowries or gifts. If two (or more) sons married in the same year, these costs multiplied—not just for ceremonies, but for the negotiated sums or gifts expected by the brides’ families. This often pushed family finances to the brink. 4. Expanded Living Quarters: Every new couple meant another room or sometimes even an extension to the family home. For modest families, this was rarely practical, leading to overcrowding or logistical headaches. 5. Family Dynamics & Authority: For matriarchs especially, dealing with multiple new in-laws at once could be overwhelming in terms of maintaining household harmony. There was also the challenge of integrating “outsiders” into established routines and hierarchies, creating social as well as financial strain. Modern Shift With smaller families and greater affluence, plus independent living arrangements becoming the norm (e.g., couples waiting for their own BTO flats), much of this taboo has weakened. Young couples often live apart from parents shortly after marriage, reducing both logistical strain and intergenerational tension. Temporary cohabitation with in-laws is often just a short period before moving out. Contrasts with Malay Custom The traditional Malay practice flips the expectation: new husbands move in with their wives’ families, specifically to ensure the well-being of the daughter. This mitigates the “outsider” effect on the bride and empowers the bride’s family, creating a different family dynamic and safeguarding the daughter. Summary Ultimately, these taboos grew out of practical economic and social considerations but have faded with modern living, smaller household sizes, and changing traditions. The lighter, humorous view you’ve taken is quite fitting for today, where the challenges seem more temporary and less daunting than in the past.

Considering a South-facing (S2) unit at Penrith? Watch out for kitchens located in the northwest sector. Case Study: If you don't want the male breadwinner’s career to be impacted, make sure south-facing units do not have their kitchens, especially the stove, in the northwest sector. Sample illustration of a 3-Bedroom Type 3a unit facing south #02-06 to #40-06 and #02-12 to #40-12 1. Based on a quick review of just one stack or unit, for example, it’s clear that both the kitchen and the stove inevitably end up in the inauspicious Fire at Heaven’s Gate—the northwest sector. Inauspicious - Stove exactly at NW sector

The otrovert" personality is described as a blend of both extrovert and introvert traits, similar to what is commonly known as an ambivert. Key Points about the Otrovert Personality: - Flexible Social Preferences: An otrovert is comfortable navigating both social and solitary environments. They can enjoy group activities and lively interactions but also appreciate and seek out time alone for reflection or relaxation. - Balanced Energy: Otroverts may feel energized both by social events and quiet, personal downtime. They aren’t defined strictly by a need for constant company (like extroverts) or isolation (like introverts). - Adaptive Behavior: Depending on context, mood, or surrounding people, otroverts may act outgoing or reserved. Their behavior may shift naturally, allowing them to fit into various social situations with ease. - Self-Awareness: Otroverts are often aware of their needs for both stimulation and solitude. They recognize when they need connection or when it’s time to recharge alone. Comparison to Other Personality Types - Extrovert: Seeks energy from being around others, prefers social participation. - Introvert: Gains energy from being alone, values private time. - Otrovert/Ambivert: Thrives in both scenarios, demonstrating adaptable social preferences. In Summary An Otrovert personality is someone who isn’t fully an introvert or extrovert, but rather displays characteristics of both—showing flexibility in their social interactions and personal energy management.

Who is an Otrovert? An otrovert is a unique personality type that defies traditional categorization as an introvert or extrovert. Coined by Dr. Rami Kaminski, a US-based psychiatrist, the term "otrovert" describes individuals who don't strongly identify with social groups, preferring deep connections over wide networks. +++ Key Characteristics of Otroverts: - Emotional Independence: Otroverts value authenticity over conformity and prioritize individuality. - Selective Social Connections: They form meaningful bonds with a select few, often observing rather than actively participating in large groups. - Creativity and Original Thinking: Otroverts tend to think outside mainstream social expectations, fostering innovation and artistic expression. - Adaptability and Emotional Intelligence: They excel in roles requiring versatility and emotional intelligence, seamlessly shifting between social energy and solitude. - Resistance to Conformity: Otroverts question norms, think differently, and produce creative work that resists majority expectations ¹ ² ³. Differences from Introverts and Extroverts: - Otroverts aren't energized by social gatherings like extroverts, nor do they conserve energy like introverts. Instead, they thrive in one-on-one interactions. - Unlike ambiverts, who fluctuate between introversion and extroversion, otroverts consistently feel detached from group dynamics ¹ ⁴. Examples of Otroverts: - Famous personalities like Albert Einstein, Frida Kahlo, Franz Kafka, and Virginia Woolf are believed to have exhibited otrovert tendencies. - Canadian actor Lisa Ray has publicly identified herself as an otrovert ¹ ⁵ ⁴. +++ References: https://www.azdictionary.com/otrovert-meaning-unlocking-the-powerful-and-uplifting-traits-of-this-fascinating-personality/  https://www.bangaloreanx.com/world/otrovert-meaning-traits-examples/ What is an Otrovert Personality? https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/life-style/relationships/work/meet-the-otroverts-understanding-the-unique-personality-type-between-introvert-and-extrovert-and-its-traits/articleshow/123994539.cms  https://www.latestly.com/lifestyle/otrovert-meaning-and-personality-traits-are-you-an-introvert-extrovert-ambivert-or-otrovert-understanding-the-quartet-of-beings-7114343.html
