The "power" of soil.

We use soil to grow plants or cultivate vegetables, thus soil can be useful if properly used. But on the other hand, unattended soil or soil with withered plants can be potent, usually it will dissipate bad qi. And it will affect your fengshui.

Therefore, if your house have pots of soil that have been left unattended, my advice is to discard them.

Unique X'mas card from Japan

あきこ、まなみ　と　みほ　さん。　おげんですか？　私わ　も　できですね。　Christmas かど　ども　ありがと、　私わ　すき　ですね。

I want to thanks my friends from Japan for sending me such an unique christmas card, but it looks more like a christmas present to me. This christmas card that I received can be fold and turn into a letter holder. See photos below.

This is really a good concept, usually when Christmas period is over, most of us would keep the Christmas cards in the drawers. However, with this concept, we can turn christmas card into a useful item.

Once the christmas card is turned into a letter box. If you were to look though the front elevation, the box has 3-D effect.

There are 3 slots which can be used to hold letters.

Christmas gift from Japan. Thank you, my friends.

Lovely card!

Another 8 hours to Christmas Day...

I am counting down.....8 more hours to go, is Christmas Day! Hope that tonight weather is going to be nice so that everyone out there can celebrate.

Guess I will do something meaningful tonight.

Finally....

Finally, our flyer has resumed its operation. And of course, the release of trapped passengers in the capsules.It was reported that a fire broke out at flyer's control room which resulted the flyer to stop.

There were more than 170 people trapped in this incident. And it took almost 7 hours to have all the trapped passengers to release from the capsules. For more information on this incident, click on the following links :

Let it snow! Merry Christmas to you.

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. If only Singapore snows.... Christmas is just less than 2 days away! How are you going to celebrate your Christmas? Last minute shopping for some of you, I suppose. As for me, I still have not decided what to do on Christmas eve. Anyway, I do not celebrate Christmas but I still like Christmas season, after all is feastive mood. Sort of warm feeling, maybe because is time for giving?

Talking about giving, news have been reported that this year our Charity organisations are receiving lesser gifts this year as compared to last year. Looks like the current economy crisis has affected people mood to spend and to give. Nevertheless, I hope that more of you can come forward to donate, if you can.

Last but not least, I would like to wish you a Merry Christmas. Merry Xmas!

Five elements - The fundamental

Guess you must have heard of Jin (Metal) Mu (Wood) Shui (Water) Huo (Fire) Tu (Earth) 金木水火土? Yes, these are the fundamental for a bazi or fengshui enthusiast. Before one can proceed to the next higher level; the complexities of metaphysics studies, the basic fundamental should manage well first.

And do not under estimate these basic five elements, they are very useful when they are used for analysis. Why do I say so? Well, if you were to look at the Five elements - cycle of birth.

Earth produces Metal, while Metal produces Water, Water in turn produces Wood, thus Wood produces Fire, Fire will return back to Earth.

If you are doing bazi analysis, if you have identified the element of your subject (Person). You can find clues from the bazi, for example :

A set of lady's bazi

Hour Pillar Day Pillar Month Pillar Year Pillar
丙Bing (Fire) 己Ji (Earth) 丙Bing (Fire) 己Ji (Earth)
寅Yin (Wood) 巳Si (Fire) 寅Yin (Wood) 未Wei (Earth)

IN this set of bazi, the lady belongs to 己Ji Earth element (Day master). From here, we can search for clues on this person. For simple illustration,If someone were to ask about her mother. With the information here, we can see check for the element that produces her element, in this instance, it will be Fire. From here, we can deduce that her mother is close to her.

If you were wondering this person's creativeness, check for her output. From the above bazi, there is no metal element. Therefore, we can deduce that this person is not creative.

With such illustration, you can have a rough idea how bazi master analyse your bazi.

In fengshui, five elements also play an important part in fengshui analysis. For example, if a main door faces East direction (East represents Wood), in such condition, ideally there should NOT have any Metal element.
