This is a very important life lesson:- It is very interesting to associate this statement: There is a saying, ?What goes around comes around.? = Karma? http://www.tremeritus.com/2012/12/14/why-not-khaw-tells-his-own-party-about-this-too/ Not too recently, there was another valuable lesson: "Don't throw stones at a glass house. That glass house could happen to belong to your own kind".

1. Before, I go into your question; there are also two "types" of Feng Shui. If we can generalise; there is the "White" Feng Shui and "Black" Feng Shui. 2. In Singapore, look at the area especially bordering Beach Road to Shenton Way; "Black" Feng Shui actually refers to buildings that try to "suck" wealth from neighbouring buildings. For example, The Gateway isa major concern as till today, there are lots of reports of hauntings especially "triangle" units or points in this building. 3. In the past, and even in the future or near future, some developers engage overseas Feng Shui practitioners, and these practitioners study that "current" period's landscape and advise …

This new model Jaguar spots a rather unusual figurine on the dashboard. It should be most likely for "protection". There is Saint Christopher, this is most likely a GOD or deity of Chinese transportation... DId you see the figurine in GREEN? A green "genie" of sorts? Some of the photos were taken on different days. The photos with the TWO mandarin oranges was taken during Chinese New Year. Mandarin Oranges x 2 represents gold. And the two mandarin oranges were exchanged during Chinese New Year...

Cecil, so sorry. For wedding invitations, is there a rule that the words in the card (or the paper in the card) can not be written in red? Reply: Nobody writes in red. Black ink or nowadays silver or gold.

The Lucky Cat with an arm waving (thanks to the battery operated hand) originated from Japan. Nowadays, like the attached photos; it is now placed on top of a Chinese offering.... Talk about globalisation and internationalization..

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.

Dear Jenny, Feng Shui has several flavours:- 1. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Much of Feng Shui has to do with commonsense. For example, it is not favourable to have a toilet bowl above the main entrance. i.e. one day, if the pipe leaks, it may flow into the home. Another typical commonsense example, is a kitchen above the bedroom. Here, there can be a higher probability of a fire from the kitchen. And since fire/smoke rises upwards, it may affect the above rooms (bedroom). 2. Scientific forms of Feng Shui Using Compass School Feng Shui such as Eight House and Flying Star 3. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui Understanding qi and poison arrows that can affect the exte…

There are many factors to look at before one can even comment on whether the house is good or bad. ie External Shapes and Form - whether any external building across your home cuts into your home, the Qi flow for your block etc. ie Flying Star of the house - you need to know what is the direction of the home to actually determine how is the house luck. ie.

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…

Dear Anon, In Singapore, a frog is quite rare sight. But not sure, how prevalent they are in your country. But alternatively, could be instead be a toad? A frog is known as a celestial cock and a symbol of a frog is common on a charm to act as protection. Both a toad and frog are known as "moon" creatures or creatures that are associated with the moon. For a toad, it symbolises longevity. No harm "chasing it" away so long as not harming them. In the past, the educated in China really hate the frogs / toad croaking as this affects their concentration in learning or work. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If one does a FS audit, it is good to look at `alternative 1' and `alternative 2'. The alternatives (1 and 2) refers to your analysis of `what if I use the garage door' or use an alternative door your actual main door. 2. Here, we normally, try to see which has better Feng Shui. We then have a bigger picture of the two alternatives. 3. In Feng Shui, many Feng Shui experts believe that it is usually, the door that has your house number. From past experience, you still consider the new door e.g. garage door if you use it more than the main entrance door. So, thus it is best that you do an audit based on the direction of each door first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joe, 1. In my opinion, this is far from the truth. 2. In fact, in our daily lives, what is more harmful are the unseen (cannot be seen to our naked eyes) such as e-coli bateria and pests like cockroaches etc... 3. Humans have always taken a liking for pets. And man's best friend is a dog. 4. Other animals, if they are kept clean are equally acceptable pets. 5. Often, many good children have grown up being responsible parents and lead a good life have often been associated with pets. 6. Keeping pets, and responsible pet care can teach a child to be responsible. 7. In fact, in my opinion, rearing pets comes under the category " Ren Cai " or Human / Man luck category. …

Dear Robert Thank you for your reply I have just made used of the auspicious date provided by the forum. The most auspicious date for me to start renovation is 27th July thus that will be 3rd day of the 7th month. And if I chose earlier date (b4 the 7th month)to start the renovation work which ismix blessing for me and for my husband is not auspiciousthen which of the date should I follow. Another question is my husband is not living there in Singapore, he will probably be there not more than 3 times in a year. Should I take his ba-zhiinto consideration? Thank you once again for your time and help.

Hi master, I recently bought a house. The house is sitting on the North East and Facing south west. The garden and living room are faing south west. however the main door entry is on the North East not south west. On the south west part of the house is much lower than the North East. Therefore the house has a good back support with North East mountain. Because the main road is sit on the North East, therefor the main door entry is on the North East. After entrying the main door there are 2 star case one goes up to the 2nd floor and 3 floor, and one is going down to the kitchen and living room. There is a bright hall after entering the house and the main door is not faci…

Generally, railways can pretty much be a sha qi depending on how the track cuts into the house. Even if it does not cut into the house, the common sense approach is that trains tend to be noisy. So noise is also another form of sha qi. So either way, if a railway track is too closed, then yes it isn't that ideal. Especially if yo…
