Question: Hi master lee, one quick question if we start the renovation now and it will stretch into 7th month, is ok right? Reply: "The idea of not starting in the 7th month is just in case one of them stays in a vacant home. And if one starts reno during 7th month... they may get angry." "But they are also like human beings. If you start renovations now and continue during 7th month... "they" would rather visit (if any) other homes that are less noisy."

And the two mandarin oranges were exchanged during Chinese New Year...

Frankly, in my opinon, if it only happens once; most likely as you had earlier suspected could be due to "natural" circumstances. Does any family member(s) had any sort dream recently around the time the fell off. Other than that; seldom if any a cup could fall off.

1. Look at it this way: all of us one day will perish: "ashes to ashes; dusts to dusts". 2. Thus in general; the majority of has to one day die of old age. If so, there ain't no worries about things that a "dead" persons; furthermore; one's own flesh and blood living us things. 3. Of course, there are many instances for some; a loved one dying of old age in a home. And looking at it: left the home to their loved ones.. 4. For natural dead; and later cremation; cremation is neutral. And like many of us; do keep our late father's funeral photo (frame). Here, we keep it with respect in a proper cupboard and not "chuck" it away. 5. Besides this; the other factor is based on…

1. If you are strictly thinking of it in modern times: look at it this way: the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicated his throne in 1911. 2. Nowadays; where got "Emperors". 3. Of course, in the past; any artists or artisan/craftsman that produce anything with the Five claw is taboo.. unless for official reasons. 4. Today, again in modern times; there will be those who no longer are scared of emperors and dare to produce 4 or 5 claw dragons... 5. So what is stopping these people from the "Feng Shui emporium" sellers to sell such things. 6. Look at it this way: If there are ready buyers (like yourself); there are also ready sellers. 7. It takes TWO hands to clap! Of c…

Numerous Chinese individuals remain indifferent towards the number 13. However, there are those among the Chinese population who harbor a strong aversion towards the number 4, as well as its multiples such as 44 or 444. Nevertheless, it is important to keep in mind the saying: "what is good for one person may not be good for another." Source & Credit:
