As I have said before,many bazi and fengshuilearnersjump on the bandwagon just to rake it in,and quickly too.Not only new practitioners,but the so-called experienced ones are,well,obsessed with money too.That's why they need to have fengshui "conventions",advertise full-page in the papers, etc,in order to raise their public profiles in the world. Paying close to S$300 just for a bazi reading?For that amount,you can get many good books on bazi and read up yourself,or read the postings on bazi forums. Am rather curious what "secrets"the "experts" will graciously "transmit" to the audienceat the coming Singapore fengshui"convention" at Suntec City.At last year's(2007) "c…

Gay world (Happy World) Originally known as Happy World, Gay World offer an escape for families between 1930s and 1960s. Standing out from other `worlds', it housed a covered stadium that could seat up to 7,000. Top-class boxing matches, basketball, martial arts and other sporting evens were held here. Wrestlers such as "Tiger Ahmad" and "King Kong" attracted crowds. At it's prime, it was even lauded as the "greatest coveredstadium in South East Asia". The Octagonal shaped Happy world stadium was where Singapore first played host to Thomas Cup in 1952, which Malaya had famously won and reigned for three consecutive badminton tou…

Dear Glyn, Glad to hear from you on actual happenings in Perth. Just to share with everyone: Currently a few users have used the " Anonymous " feature when sending mails in this forum. Here are the plus and minus points of sending mails Anonymously: 1. It is ok if you are sending many individual questions on each specific topics as the message will not be sent out thru the mailing list unless it has been replied. This is ok as, many users will then be able to read only the replies rather than the question first. 2. If any users do see " Anonymous ", it does not imply that it is only one person who sent it. As the adminstrator of this forum, I am able to see who sent the …

I HAVE BEEN STUDYING/READING BOOKS ON THE SUBJECT OF FENG SHUI FOR 3 YEARS NOW. IN THAT TIME IT HAS BEEN MY EXPERIENCE THAT ONE BUILDING WILL SEEM TO RESPOND POSITIVELY TO THE CURES OF ONE SCHOOL OF FENG SHUI WHILE ANOTHER RESPONDS BETTER TO ANOTHER, FOR EXAMPLE: BLACK HAT MAY SUGGEST BLUE/ WATER IN THE NORTH IF IT IS A PROBLEMATIC AREA,WHILE COMPASS WILL SUGGEST TO REDUCE THE NORTH WITH GREEN WOOD (IF NORTH IS A NEGATIVE DIRECTION IN THAT PARTICULAR HOME). IT TAKES A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF TRIAL AND ERROR AS WELL AS INTUITION TO DISCOVER TO WHICH THE BUILDING WILL RESPOND.

Hi, I have just changed my bedroom and am wondering if it's OK to put back my waterbed or not? Seeing it heats by electricity I wonder if it has any possitive or negative effects. Thanks in advance, Rebecca

If you are talking about Chinese Astrology: http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/astro/wdragon.htm Yes, in general you are a water-dragon. Today, Chinese Astrology or what you have seen under the above url: lovesigns.net in this state is considered as only belonging to the Kindergarten to Primary School type of Chinese metaphysics. Under this Kindergarten level; you only need to know your Year of birth in relation to the lunar calendar which often starts around January or February to next same period.

Bukit Panjang is Malay for "a long spread of hills". It is also the name of part of a range of low hills that run from Mandai, in the north of Singapore to Bukit Timah in the south. Forty years ago, the area was occupied by farms, granite quarries and fatories that produced household goods. There was a shoe factory, a factory for canning food and a dairy farm owned by supermarket chain Cold Storage, after which Dairy Farm Road was named. Bukit Panjang Village was found at a roundabout that linked Woodlands, Bukit Timah and Choa Chu Kang roads. In the 1980s and 1990s, the Government cleared the area around Bukit Panjang Village and built Housing Board flats. The name…

Dear Lynn, 1. Usually, you can get readily purchased coins already tied with red string with a tassel. 2. In your case, usually, tie the first coin with the second coin and then add the third coin, overlapping each other. The three coins can be `firmly' held together overlapped in a straight line. (Overlapped partially on top of each other). 3. The three coins are usually placed under the main entrance carpet. The symbolic gesture of stepping on the three coins is like stepping on `gold'. 4. You do not really need to worry as to how to tie them. But remember not to stack them together and tie them. 5. Here, symbolically, one must still see the three coins (even if they ar…

Source & Credit: http://www.tremeritus.com/2012/04/04/pap-the-master-illusionist/ Irefer to Mr Tan Jee Say?s article ?PAP?s low cunning ? a primary 1 half-truth?. This is what the PAP has transformed into for the last decade, telling us the half-truth! Let me quote you another example. Back during my NS days with the 5th Singapore Infantry Regiment, my CO was a president scholar. Because he wanted us to win the Best Infantry Award, he insist that we set a record timing for a 40km route march. On the day of the route march, he instructed all OCs to get those weaklings to report sick regardless of whether they are sick or not. Also, an order was given to our Medical O…

Dear Jolanta, Please see below:- It is best to avoid `fixed' template Feng Shui as it is not based on Traditional Feng Shui. When we consider a toilet, the more important concern is where is it located. Here the location of the toilet is more important: 1. Where possible it should share an external wall. 2. Not be located above the main door 3. Next to the main door. The above are some of the considerations. Thus the concept of the wealth sector at 3/4 wall of the toilet is if one looks closely, a flawed concept. `Fixed' templates is easy to follow but it does not have any merits under Traditional Feng Shui. Can we for sure say that this spot is our Wealth sector, a…

In my opinion; for safety reasons; many swing doors are up to waist or slightly higher. In the attached photos; there can be a remote possibility that especially the upper panels may one day accidentaly slam the panel onto a person's face - if they are not careful.

This is an excellent article which parallel my thinking of why Geomancy.net is not on both Twitter and Facebook! I personally would not say that Facebook is over. But in my opinion, Facebook is not meant for business trying to use Facebook to conduct their business. However, Facebook would still be successful for University & many other types of Alumni and car clubs...

Good thing is you are allowed to add as much as you want. Always leave a not do complimentary after-taste. Nowadays, I skip this place totally.
