Fish means "Abundance" in Chinese. This is home-made large Raw Fish and Abalone dish. Full of salmon and abalone and cabbage! Plentiful abalone: no restaurant wants to serve unless pay through the nose.. Fa Cai “hair”. Actually a type of black fungus .. that looks like hair

1. Yes, based on the Chinese Astrology sign: Goat (Ram): In particular those with the elements: Strong Metal, Weak Water and Weak Wood Goats are considered the "worst" in 2009. And weak fire and strong earth are also bad - bad year. However, if you are other elements even if you are of the Goat sign,you should notfair too badly. You can go thru this resourceto understand more:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2009.htm Note: Ram (Sheepor Goat)are of thesame animal sign.

1. So sorry, is there any specific history we do not know about this bus number 14? 2. If there is no "unfortunate history", then in my opinion, there should not be a major concern in taking this bus all the time.

1. More importantly, it is best that your stove in the kitchen has been set up and ready to be used on the first day of move-in. 2. The common procedures for the Chinese (Move-in) procedure can be found under this link:- info.geomancy.net Quote: Can i buy a gas tong before move into new house? Where is the wealth position located?Please advise. 1. Generally, it is acceptable to buy a gas tong. Often as mentioned above, it is best to use the primary stove i.e. mounted in the kitchen. 2. There are many different types of wealth position. Under Flying star, try to check where is your mountain star #8 and water star #8. These are suppose to be your current wealth locations and there is a difference between mountain and water star.

An interesting article on some of the traditions and customs of the Chinese during Chinese New Year which lasts 15 days....

In my opinion, although you are taking one step in the right direction, but there are still over 100 steps to go!

1. There are specialised concepts meant for specific senarios. 2. For the home Feng Shui, besides the Shapes and Forms, Flying Star Feng Shui should be applied. There are many more concepts. 3. Why Flying Star Feng Shui? The clue, here is that like human beings each home also has it's own birth chart! 4. You and I were born in a specific date and time. Thus, under Ba Zi, we can determine our element. And for husband and wife, as you had mentioned there is what is known as a "binding element". In your case, you had mentioned that it is "water element". 5. As mentioned under para 3, all homes have their own birth chart and characteristics - based on which flying star sectors: Facing direction and sitting directions. 6. What you are trying to do is to simply say that because both of your binding element is Water, then your home should be e.g. say painted in blue etc... But again, you are not living in an isolated environment! 7. Your home has it's distinctive birthchart. And each sector has different characteristics. For example say the location that you wanted to paint blue of place a water feature has a bad #3 wood. (#3 relates to lawsuits, quarrels, conflicts. And since this is a wood element, having a water position or blue colour here is surely going to inflame this bad #3 wood.) etc... 8. The saying goes... "a little knowlege is a dangerous thing!". Thing about it! Avoid, the common mistake of applying "fast food feng shui". Reading something and then, doing 100 and 1 thing in the name sake of "Feng Shui".

1. There are two concepts, here: 1.1. "Paper qualifications" 1.2. Real life situation (reality check) 1.1. "Paper qualifications". Not exactly what is meant but technically, strictly from an academic Five Elements concept:- Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm For a weak fire person; has to get support from "wood" to grow. Wood careers can range from teaching, training, co-ordination etc.. In general, food industry and like your current industry real estate belongs more to the earth element. Strictly from an academic exercise, earth draws out fire. Thus on paper, food careers are not auspicious for a weak fire person. As the person is said to be already weak fire and yet, food (earth) draws or "suck" more out of that person (weak fire). 1.2 In a small country like Singapore, where there are fewer geniune entrepreneurs, many take up common jobs like : real estate, hawkers or taxi drivers - especially for those who have reached 38 years old or more and cannot find other jobs to do. This is indeed a reality check. No choice, our previous school foundation is based on "route" leading and no creativity, risk taking .... culture. More so, scared to be a bankrupt. 1.3 Look at what happened to "Bubble tea"... shops... the bubble had burst for these "Taiwanese" type of drink(s). Previously, I was asked to do audits for these shops, I turned them all down! With some capital, e.g. $10K to $15K, almost everyone can open such a shop! Entry is so opened! 1.4 Look also at those "Luo han" fish sellers; was also approached to do Feng Shui. I would tell them "PLEASE, DON"T WASTE YOUR MONEY and TIME!"

1. Please take note that the "Pi Yao" is a modern commercial product. And such products appear in abundance only after the mid 1980's. 2. Many Geomancers, are not shameful, in promoting commercial products, as these brings in the bulk of their "ill gotten" gains. Some Geomaners even preach.... during their audit sessions: " You have to place this specific painting, here". 3. You might ask: "Where do I get this painting." 4. The geomancer say: "Come to my shop." 5. For the individual,THREE key concepts should be considered:- 5.1. CONCEPT 1: Under the Compass School of Feng Shui, the Eight House (East/West group) applies. The question asked is " Does the compass change directions? Yes or No? 5.2 CONCEPT 2: Concept of Tai Sui or Grand Duke of Jupiter Capital punishment of the Tai Sui has more to do with "touch" or "disturb him". Thus, the rest e.g. facing Tai Sui is less of an issue. 5.3 CONCEPT 3: Commonsense Approach to Feng Shui: 5.3.1 You said it: "There is little I can do..." 5.3.2 If it ain't broken, don't fix it! Think about it! 6. The saying goes " If the buying stops, the selling can!" Go to any rich man's home. Can you find all sorts of rubbish "in the name of" Feng Shui products? "Here, the seller gets richer and the buyer... conned into departing with their hard earned money". Dear Masters, I am confused w/ some of the advice I've been receiving about facing Tai Sui 2009. My desk is directly facing Tai Sui (NE) this year (2009) and there's little I can do about it. However, the 'entrance' to my cubicle is facing SSW. My cubicle is in the SWW sector of my building. So do I need to place a 'Pi Yao' facing NE to appease Tai Sui?Or am I ok b/c of the sector my cubicle is in regardless of which way I face? Pls advise.

The morale of the story is that the rich gets richer, by investing in time and effort to secure (expert) help in finding a good home. The poor as usual, gets into a cycle of poverty: Imagine buying a home equivalent to a ten year old car. No matter how much effort is done (later) to improve their home, the Feng Shui of the home cannot turn it into a "gem" of a car! If one bought a run-down toyota, how to turn it into a lovely 7 series BMW? Again, it is like a family of 8 buying a home equivalent of a small Chinese cherry car! How to fit 8 persons in the car! No way! Have to purchase a car the equivalent of an MPV!

1. What you had described is very similar to the development known as The Meyer Place. This is the link to it:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=5532&new= 2. In all developments, there are often excellent units, good units and inauspicious units. This depends on which floor, what is the external influence of that particular development. Thus no two homes in a same development is similar. 3. In the above example, the unit " achieves " a quantum leap in Feng Shui by "sucking" wealth from the duplex bungalow - directly within it's development. This bungalow formerly belongs to a wealthy merchant : Tan Lark Sye. 4. Location, location and location plays an important factor. Thus, the smart person would normally get Feng Shui advice prior to purchasing a home. Vs one that they had already chosen and asked for a Feng Shui consultation. 5. In this example, there are also homes that are "entrapped" and one example is as follows:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=11582&new= 6. . Usually, there are two major instances where a home may not be "lived" in by human beings.... http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=3&mid=23677&new=

1. Even in Singapore, it is very common for bedrooms to have an attached toilet. 2. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui:- 2.1 Toilets are considered "dirty" especially each time we flush the toilet bowl, the "air" and "water pressure" shoots out fine mists or droplets all over the entire toilet area. And if there are openings, these will "flow" further. 2.2 However, one day, I was driving along the highway, and this radio feature, had this person, selling some disinfection tablets to regularly sterile the toothbrush much like those denture cleaning tablets. He said that anywhere we place the toothbrush in the toilet, there will sure to be some form of "germs". 2.3 I was "shocked" because: many or all of us from young had never sterlised our toothbrush, or other utensils such as glass for mouth wash etc... 2.4 Thus, the conclusion, here that most of healthy adults do have certain residence to general germs. And is no major cause for concern -- in this area. 3. Given a small room, more doors, may not be practical. In my opinion, just leave it will do.

Quote: 1) What is the Wealth Element & Colour? 1. Please refer to the link, below:- http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm 1.1 Under the Five elements concept, there is a cycle known as: "Destructive cycle". 1.2 Literally, it is known as the "destructive cycle" because, taking an example: 2. In the "destructive cycle diagram" , "Wood destroys earth". 3. Just imagine a large tree (strong wood) with it's roots digging into the earth to get nourishment. 4. Thus, we can also say that the Wood (tree) draws wealth from the earth. 5. For a strong metalperson, again in the "destructive cycle",metal destroys wood e.g. a block of wood costs $4, but if you are a strong metal person, (imagine an axe or metal instruments are used to curved out a lovely figurine i.e. a work of art.) 6. For a strong metal person: best elements are: water (blue, black or grey) and wealth element is wood. while Fire (red pink or purple) is equally favourable colours. Quote: 2) The Chinese Name Element: Fire Wood Wood is good for thestrong yang Metal Rabbit? 7. Analysing, recommending (selecting new born's name/ existing) involves several rulesets and the Five elements concept. Best to seek help for those who want a name change.

1. This is not a free service. 2. You can view our link, below for such a service:- http://www.geomancy.net/products/po-dates/po-dates-caesarian-operation.htm 3. In general, if you were to approach a Geomancer for such a service,TWO important variables (or fields)must be known:- 3.1 Baby's sex (male or female) 3.2Your doctor's recommended dates for the caesarian operation (Two weeks range) 4. Optional:- Parents (and or siblings) date and time of birth 5. Para 3 is very important to select a good birth date. And it really does matter whether the child is a male or female as this will have an impact on the date and time there (are) born. 6. While para 4 is meant to see if the child suits / supports the parents ba zi (or not). But this is less crucial, since most people prefer that their child is born "with a better" life. And this area is considered as "nice to have" and not a "must-have.

Yes, what you mentioned above, does help. Quote: Are the landscaping, the car porch and garage at the back also help the house situation which is between 2 road (small lane at the back, normal road at front)? Attached is the drawing to illustrate the situation better.
