Dear Karen, In traditional Feng Shui practise, even in China, crystals were not widely used until today. Mostly it is due to the present day where modern technology is able to create such crystals cheaply and easily available to the public. So far, I understand only recently are Feng Shui authors writing about their own beliefs that crystals can be used as either an enhancement or a cure. I guess this field is very new and my `guess' is as good as yours as to whether it is that good. I remembered, last year while doing a Feng Shui audit for my friend. On my first visit, he placed around 5 to 6 crystals at the North West (Metal location) of his home. He explained to me tha…

Dear David, The best technique in using the Eight House Theory is to prepare a transparency and writing down each person's intangible directions on the transparency. Try to use it on a A4 sized transparency where we commonly use this paper. 1. Your transparency should have the North, NE, East, SE, South, SW, West and NW clearly marked on the transparency. 2. Next, if you want to use different ink to represent each member of the family. Start with the Father, Mother, etc... After doing so, you will then have a `big picture' of your entire family. 3. Get the layout plan of your house. If you are looking at various properties, simply superimpose this transparency on the layo…

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:

Dear Vivian, Please read below:- -----Original Message----- From: Listmanager To: Recipients of 'discussion-session' suppressed 'discussion-session' suppressed> Date: Saturday, April 10, 1999 6:53 AM Subject: Re: San Yuan/San He Yes, I know what you are refering to now.What you are refering to is the Triple Combinations that occurs in the Flying Star. I forgot to add that as an option for you. It should be when the base star (or luo shu number for that period) and its combinational influences with the Water Star or Mountain star. As the Flying Star normally is interpreted from Five Element Analysis, there are certain combinations which creates a balance. And when…

Dear WinCash, 1. Frankly, this has to do with individual beliefs. 2. Like everyone else; a Geomancer is only human. 3. This is why, I had recently mentioned that many Geomancers like to seek fame by giving `earthly predictions' And often, these predictions has to do with likely earthquakes, wars and the latest new illness - which often occurs during certain `predictable' seasons. 4. Therefore, if we follow the above `argument', all human beings are govern by time-factors. 5. And if we apply the Five Elements concept, it will follow that Fire can drown weak water person etc... Thus, all of us have our auspicious or inauspicious days. 6. Perhaps, a particular Geomancer was…

Appended by Cecil: Thanks. From the various write-ups, it was just a hoax. But it was "so real" that it was reported to the authorities and an investigation was carried out and the person who wrote / design the website was called up. Thnks. Bonsai kittens are a myth. It's been proven that it is a myth. Numerous investigations were performed and it was proven that it was a hoax. wrote in message news:16524.4331@forum.geomancy.net...

Usually, tables are reserved with a cheap packet of tissue paper (20 cents). But sometimes, especially on rainy days, another useful item is an umbrella.

Many of us just walk past coffee-shop furniture without blinking an eye. When I see this elderly lady utilize this iconic chair. I see both the pure beauty of the form and function of this chair! Even if this chair looks dated. This is why I believe so many new kopi-tiams; food courts etc.. don't stock it any more. Does not blend with their modernistic décor? Who cares... Contrast this with the photo of the stylish green chairs. Although both chairs should provide comfortable seating.. but this green chair lacks the added function. Let's hope more coffee-shops; Chinese restaurants like Soup Restaurant etc.. …

Lights, camera, action...Politics is equally about exposure... I mean advertising/marketing.. What more if Politicians can be perceived to be subliminally visible day and night. Now we know why in every estate our MPs Make sure that they prominently display their face all year round... Kudos... starting early... four years before the next elections..no wonder... landslide almost everytime... "We are always there -- not necessarily for you .. but we are highly visible. What Opposition? Let them bite the dusts" Thus in the event that some claim that they only seem to "SEE" their MPs once every 4 years... This is simply no…

Dear Master Cecil, I apologise if it is doubled. There is trouble in opening my post. But I have to repeat all over again. 1. My main door is facing directly with my neighbour. Somehow we do not have good relation each other. Should I put convex or concave mirror? The plus point is my neighbour in slightly better financially compare with me. The minus point are some poisons arrows too from other houses and this direct neighbour also has large convex mirror just right behind the main door but outsider can see clearly, worse they open the door most of the time. 2. I have placed 2 windchimes but less effect though. If I have put the mi…

Chong Pang: Soon Lee Heng (stall name), Chinese-style satay stall. I happened to walk past the first satay stall at Block 2 Changi Village and ordered their chicken satay. Pleasantly surprised, I found the chunks of meat moist and chewy. Later, I realised that they have four or five photos of our current PM and his wife enjoying satay at this same stall. Looks like there are two Chinese satay stalls and, wow, about four more Malay satay stalls here!
