Dear Anon, This is a very interesting question. In applied Feng Shui, one need not have to deal with issues like whether the moon is yin or yang. What is more relevant here is the `fact' that the moon affects the tides and magnetic influence/pull of gravity. Other interesting studies include looking at e.g. full moon dates for Marketing activity etc.. I personally feel it does not matter whether the stars are yin or yang. This area, is dominated by Astrology i.e. this forum's `terms of reference' is more on Feng Shui, Destiny and not on Chinese Astrology. Perhaps, Chinese Astrology, may or may not have looked into this issue. Frankly, most of us are not too concerned as …

Please don't look at the photos especially if you are about to eat something or have eaten your fill.... Using broken glass to line or protect the walls of homes were very common in the past. Let's say it was acceptable in the 1960's. In the past, the glass shards were relatively shallow and smaller. But wow! The glass shards here are certainly meant to "murder" someone! Very scary stuff!

Dear Dhiren, 1. I hope I get your question correct. I am assuming that you are referring to Compass School of Feng Shui in your mention of "directionology ". (If not, please elaborate further on the meaning of " directionology"). 2. In this forum, I have mentioned my personal view of the different inclination each of us have i.e. more inclined towards either Shapes & Form or Compass School methods of Feng Shui. 3. Or the explanation offered that some of us are Right or Left 'brained' persons. Where some of us are more `artistic' while others are more mathematical or logical. 4. For example, some of us when we read a book we make sure we read from page 1, 2, 3 onwards.…

The site wants you to advertise FOC on theirs... Never published... just based on My personal thoughts... Frankly, I rather you adopt a pay to advertise model. 1. This is because it is very difficult Nor practical to police your current system. 2. Those who advertise at your site may never know that the purchaser of their product or service was referred from you. 3. Given that if the purchaser say never tells the advertisers on your site about it. 4. This is because the potential purchaser will often click and go directly to the specific site. 5. What is there stopping them from purchasing at your …

Dear Dhiren, 1. I hope I get your question correct: I believe you are asking about a " Geomancer " and " Feng Shui practitioner ". 2. In the Far East, many Feng Shui practitioners are known as a Geomancer rather than specifically called a Feng Shui practitioner or Master. Thus you will find many Geomancy companies with names like: " ABC Geomancy "; " Way Geomancy " etc... 3. Even Dr Evelyn Lip, a trained architect who researched on ' Feng Shui ' used the term " Geomancy " rather than Feng Shui. Thus in all her ' Feng Shui ' books, she give the title e.g. Basic Geomancy etc... 4. She also used the term a " Geomancer " instead of " Feng Shui practitioner " in the topics wr…

I understand that you are a newbie. But, seriously, even many newbies care to do more homework before posting such a question. In my opinon, those who post such a question, (sigh)... should make some EFFORT or even a little effort in using the fingers to do more walking.... This forum is not new, and there are lots of resources in this forum alone stretching up to 1999 or earlier.. Please reflect closely.. your question is like: asking us how to tie a shoe! I know, in the past, in the show the Last ChineseEmperor Pu Yi; he did not know how to tie his shoes; that is understandable. He was a emperor.

Dear Anon, I do agree with you on the goldfish. Personally, I tried rearing goldfish, and they die mostly around 6 months. I am not sure, like your friend, whether this is a common occurence or not ie. do they live not more than 6 months to a year? I wonder myself. But, for kois, they can last for several or more years. I have reared kois and the ones that I bought 3 years ago (from 6 to 7 inches) have grown, I mean really grown to 2 or more feet. I believe, kois can last more than 10 years or more (I guess so) maybe I am wrong. Must go and find a copy of Encylopedia of Koi Fishes, which I placed somewhere to confirm this. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Hi Anon Houses here in Oz are really no different from anywhere else. Perhaps we have larger plots of land than some countries but that's about all. They have the same Feng Shui problems as anywhere else. Glyn

What your birthdate tells you.... Your personality has link to your Date of Birth. To find out more,pls read on. This method is not a Chinese `method', I am not sure the origin of the source... Please keep an open mind when reading this... Date of Birth: *1st Day of the Month A birthday on the first day of the month means that you have a strong will, are self-reliant and independent. people may say you "think too much," because you like to plan but not to actually build. Similarly,you're better at diagnosing what's wrong than prescribing a remedy.You have a good mind and like to reason things out. Practical and idealistic at the same time, you refer most things to your he…

Dear Anon, 1. Yes, it is best not to be `involved' with religious objects if one can. 2. Recently many Feng Shui emporiums are in my opinion `selling' items that only burn a big hole. 3. I was infact disturbed a few days ago when I just took a glance at many of the Feng Shui emporiums. And all shorts of `rubbish stuffs'. It is a pity especially for those who are already short of cash and buy them to get into real problems. 4. Frankly, all this is also due to the consumer. For example, recently a friend of my father had asked me to help do a audit of their home. As usual, the house is littered with `three huge laughing buddha statues. And not less than three fish tanks a…

Quote: Every few weeks, I see people either locked in or locked out due to faulty smart locks. Just want to remind people to only get smart locks that has a mechanical override at ALL COST - meaning that you still can open it with a key. You don’t want to be stuck outside after a long day outside at 11pm, end up calling up a locksmith who would reluctantly arrive only 2 hours later and charge you $500 to open it because you are desperate. Or taken hostage at home with a door that won’t open. Even those with a emergency charging port, may not help because it may not be a battery issue. Source and Credit of the above extract:

Location: Spice & Spices Block 79 Redhill Market The elderly auntie took over her mum’s stall. She and her husband runs the stall. Recently her son helps at the stall. My mum says, one of the best dried powder spices (if not) the best in Singapore. As the dry powder can keep very Long. They also sell the wet ones. But this is meant for immediate consumption. A long time ago tried purchasing at Geylang Serai market. What a disappointment... as they add too much flour.. terrible.. This is a dying trade. Especially so, as told by her son: "Spices are cheap. But nowadays they have to sent the ingredients to a factory…

This postcard was taken in the 1970's. Therefore, there were few tall buildings. The tall buildings on the right of the photos like People's Park Complex and other buildings were only constructed after the 1970's.. Previously; the building covered by clay (reddish) bricks was the only tallest building around in the 1960's. It is the forerunner of the now Housing Development Board (HDB). And guess what... it is a diving platform for a one-way trip to HELL! In the past;?one could often?see an old lady standing on the road cursing at the building. Why? That was the building where her son tried to be a superman.. but failed miserably.. or rather fatally!

Dear Ellen, There is often no issue in hanging a personal portait. Often, it can be hung along the staircase landing area or in the living room area or a prominent wall within the living or study room. Only avoid hanging the portait against the same wall as the toilet bowl. Or facing a toilet or facing the kitchen entrance area. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Tracy, The true test of which is your main door is the frequency in which you use the door. In this case, you mentioned that you mainly use the inter leading door from the garage into the kitchen. You should consider this as your main door. Warmest Regards, Cecil -----Original Message-----

From a lawyer friend: Very important message While writing a date in the upcoming year 2020, we should write in its full format, e.g. 31/01/2020 and not as 31/01/20., bcoz anyone can change it to 31/01/2000 or 31/01/2019 or in between any year to suit his convenience. So be cautious about this. Don't write and also don't accept it in any documents, lest it could lose its importance. This problem will persist only during the year 2020.

Dear Anon, Frankly.. do take note that I am a male.. so I hope not to offer bias information but, hope to be as objective (as possible):- 1. Traditionally, many of the FS practitioners are male (in a typical male dominated country). It is not uncommon in the past for man rather than female to do such work. 2. Frankly, the original Feng Shui is not focused so narrowly at just the home or the interior of the home. Where perhaps, it would `rightly; be the domain of a female. 3. In the past, when we talk about Feng Shui, it is usually analysis based on very large projects such as an entire city or area of habitat. Not just narrowly focused to today's idea of the interior of t…
