These are the key essence:- 1. Yes, I have also highlighted recently in a forum message reply that under the concept of Grand Duke; "he doesn't like people to disturb, him". 2. Thus, based on the above; then, it is prudent not to place a noisy wind chime at East sector; this year. In the first place, why tempt fate by doing so? Life not exciting enough for the person? Go ahead, MAKE his day. " Just remember the Terminator's famous words " hasta la vista, baby!" 3. In the past, had met some clients with rather crazy geomancers. I recall one case, many donkey years ago; that was around thirteen years (I repeat 13 years ago); 4. This new client was not happy with me; becaus…

This altar is located in a coffee shop in an industrial zone (Tampines Industrial Park off Safra Tampines). What makes this altar "unique" is a beautiful back-wall laminated mural that reflects light off it. It also has a typical roof following many traditional altars. Nowadays, such altars are less common in Singapore homes especially those that have a roof above the deity's head.

Bear meat is darker and fattier than beef, although similar in flavor. The problem with the comparison, though, is that an animal?s diet greatly affects the flavor of its own flesh. Bears that dine mainly on salmon, for example, taste worse than those with a more varied diet.

Clogs are used worldwide and although the form may vary by culture, within a culture the form often remained unchanged for centuries. Clogs are also used in several different styles of dance. When worn for dancing an important feature is the sound of the clog against the floor.

These canes continue to be favored by parents in contemporary society. They differ significantly from the "Singapore cane" employed in prisons for punishing offenders like vandals or troublemakers. Instead, these canes are primarily utilized by parents, particularly mothers, as a means to exert control or as part of a philosophy of tough love.

In my opinion, once a person is cremated e.g. and placed into an urn; this is "pretty" safe i.e. "ashes to ashes". Usually, slight caution is especially when a grave was exhumed and best not to touch or be given any items from such a site e.g. a button or someitems that was left in that coffin. How about, someone has just died recently; a wake and sent to be cremated. This is generally pretty safe especially after the body has been cremated. Frankly, in any line of "business", there are sometimes hazards that one may face. For example, even usfor geomancers; once a while; during our course of work; we do encounter homes and premises that are not "clean". If one goes abou…

Today, this simple gesture of a white flag and oil lamp is to signal the dead or lead the way to the funeral wake. In the past, these white flags were placed as markers to guide the recent deceased and an oil lamp lit up at the end-point.

The Moon Cake Festival with a Child's Style Mooncake On quiet Mid-Autumn evenings, when the full moon hangs low and round like a lantern in the sky, some of the most vivid memories are not of the mooncakes themselves, but of something far humbler: a small, golden-brown pig made entirely of mooncake skin, sitting snugly in a bright little “pig basket.” Its glossy back shines under the fluorescent lights of the old bakery. Around it, neat rows of proper mooncakes sit in stately boxes stamped with calligraphy and gold foil. They are gifts for adults—filled with lotus paste, red bean, salted egg yolks. The piglet, by contrast, is clearly a child’s treasure. It looks…

Phoh Teck Siang Tng Temple At 106 Pasir Panjang Road. Also the Blue Cross Charitable Institution. Strange to find a variant of the Knight’s Templar emblem on it’s wrought iron gate. No wonder... it is called the Blue Cross Usually a "pure temple" uses the Swastica Buddhist symbol is used, instead. This temple was built around the early 1990’s thus is considered pretty new. The 1995 streetmap of The temple:
