1. Previously, I used a smartphone app that says ... take a snapshot of a leaf; and leave it to the program to identify the tree. 2. This application gave a totally wrong tree! Deleted the app... yet need to subscribe it monthly or yearly! LOL! 3. Finally, today, asked a client who owns Eco Scape https://www.eastec.com.sg : What is the actual name of this “umbrella” tree... Combretaceae (Bucida molinetti = Italian name of this tree) 4. Also commonly known as Indian Almond and Ketapang family tree. 5. For me, I shall still call these trees simply as umbrella trees.. LOL 6. Light green version.. these trees are four years old:- 7. Dark…

Many practitioners todaylearndestiny and fengshui analyses in order to cash in and get wealthyvia this ancient Chinese mystical field,not primarily to help others.This is diametically opposite to the ideals of the bazi and fengshuipatriarchs of yore,such as Yang Jiuping,Guo Pu,Li Xuzhong,Xu Ziping,Jiang Dahong and Shen Zhureng.Global fengshui factorshave shifted in suchmanner that today,personal and social moralities have to inexorablygive way to materialism and hedonism in one's personal life.To achieve theseends,one needs toseek ways and means to make as muchmoney as possible,and quickly too,including resorting to ancientesoteric knowledge and practices,even if deep dow…

1. In the past I prefer to use IBM ThinkPads. 1.1. Where in the early years of Geomancy.net, majority of the resources was produced using them. 2. The first laptops produced by IBM was either only: the 3 series and the 7 series. The 3 series is their base model. (Similar to BMW = 3 series. While their 7 series is more Atas! Like the BMW = 7 series. LOL) 2.1. This was IBM 386XD 11.3" TFT. Photo shows an IBM ThinkPad 700C. (C stands for colour0. Where the chassis is very much similar to the 386XD. 3. Missed the feel of it’s keyboard. And removable hard disk feature. 4. I also had purchased a docking stations for them. At that time, a mouse, other …

Hi fellow forum users Well, I'd like to share just two of the many changes that have happened in my "orbit". 1. The family business has been doing well, but I wanted to see it do better. So I looked at the Flying Star chart done for the office and noted that I had hung a solid six rod windchime in the appropriate sector. On Cecil's advice I changed it to six hollow rods, turnover has increased by 40%, profits are up and four new people have been added to the payroll to help with the volume of work. 2. My daughter works in the family business. She is a weak wood. Is always feeling tired at work, even though she sleeps well and is in good health. After pondering over this m…

I am rather suspicious of fengshui practitioners who hawk products. We can use ordinarythings like metal beds or wooden beds,household plantsetc,which are equally effective if used in the correct amounts and placed in theright positions. No need to waste money on attractive but expensive thingslike"100% jadeite" objects that purportedly help todraw in wealth.It seems that "qi" adjustments by the"master" is not enough.You need to further buy their products after paying an arm or a leg for their consultations. These things certainlydo draw in wealth. But only for the "master",and from gullible and s…

10 Common Misconceptions of the Names of Places in Singapore Is Ang Mo Kio ?ang mo kio? (tomato)? Or is Holland Village named after the Dutch community in Singapore? Are there any links between the new Chong Pang estate and the old Chong Pang Village? Let?s find out more? 1. Ang Mo Kio Tomatoes are called ?ang mo kio? (Caucasian?s brinjal) in Hokkien, which probably led to the misconception that the name of Ang Mo Kio New Town was named after the fruit. However, no tomato farms were ever recorded growing in the old Ang Mo Kio vicinity. http://remembersingapore.wordpress.com/2013/06/16/10-misconceptions-names-of-places/

Hi, A few week ago I read an article that you posted about the 90/10 rule. It talks about how we cannot avoid the 10% of things that happen to us but we can with the 90%. I want to forward that article to a find but I cannot find it now. Where is it? Thanks Ann
