omniscience not being the purview just of the Gods. Lillian
Too shares her thoughts on all this within.

Lillian also touches on Taoist Feng Shui, which has not been
given enough credence in modern feng shui literature. When
learning feng shui, one can get caught up in the formulas,
the countless charts and the numerological sequences,
but it is always vitally important to go back to basics and
notice also the simple stuff. She addresses this in her article
on Capturing the Chi of Prosperity, encouraging her
readers to develop the feng shui eye and to sometimes allow
intuition and instinct to play a part in feng shui analysis.

Some call this developing psychic ability, a skill that lays

latent in all of us. How psychic one can be depends on how
much practice you focus on this ability, but like any other
ability, with the will and the effort, it can be acquired and
mastered.

From Hollywood, we await the next bestselling book

adaptation, THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN by Paula
Hawkins. Emily Blunt stars as the movies lead, and from

to ensure life after retirement holds even more meaning
than life before that. She is a living breathing example of
someone who has grown even more since formally quitting
the job market, now championing causes close to her
heart and saving quality time to spend with those nearest
and dearest to her.
Our Tapping guru Shahreen Kamaluddin highlights all
the ways you can use this technique to ensure that each and
every day turns out to be a satisfying and happy one, and
demonstrates in a series of photographs the exact meridian
points to tap on. Katherine Kuan asks What kind of
Dragon Chi do you have? because the kind you choose
will have much bearing on how quickly feng shui can work
for you, and by what means.
Dato Kee Hua Chee this month interviews Malaysias
very own celebrity fashion designer Melinda Looi, whose
personality is as big as her designs. This unique lady has
developed a distinct signature style, and like the fashion
greats of the international stage, she embodies her art in
every breath of her being, from her big hair to her boho chic.
Helen Oon our travel correspondent takes us to Thailand,
land of splendid Buddhas and dazzling temples, eventually
finding herself in 137 Pillars House, a historic homestead
turned boutique hotel hideaway with links to Louis
Leonowens, the son of Anna Leonowens, made famous
in THE KING & I. Another personality who deserves
promotion is Albert Teo, who is championing the cause
of Eco Tourism i.e. responsible tourism that does not
deplete the land of its resources; instead, he approaches
tourism as a means to educating and employing the local
tribes and peoples, while as far as possible, preserving their
rich culture and heritage.
Lastly, but most definitely not least, we are super thrilled
to announce our Fortune and Feng Shui 2017 books are
now out! We have produced these books annually for over
ten years now, and year after year have happily had such
great feedback on how accurate and helpful they are for
forecasting and preparing for the new year. We have worked
at making updating your feng shui as easy as possible,
and hope you continue to enjoy the books. They are also
deliberately priced economically (the price of a Starbucks
coffee!) to make them accessible for everyone, so do get
them as Christmas and New Year gifts for all your friends
and loved ones as well!
And dont forget to book your tickets to Lillian Toos Feng

o stranger to the silver
screen, Emily Blunt
has been making
major movies for
well over a decade
now, but her latest starring role in
one of the most anticipated murder
mystery movies of the year promises to
catapult her into a whole new league.
THE GIRL ON THE TRAIN, the
bestselling novel by Paula Hawkins
became a sensational success when it
was released in early 2015, debuting
on the New York Times Fiction
Bestseller list on the Number 1
spot, and remaining there for 13
consecutive weeks. The movie rights
were almost immediately snapped up
by DreamWorks Pictures, but then
came the challenging task of finding
the right heroine for the lead.
To date, the novel has sold well
over 11 million copies. Coming
hot on the heels of Gillian Flynns
GONE GIRL, Paula Hawkins tale
covers a similar topic - of a girl gone
missing but with a totally different
and entirely original approach. In
Girl on the Train, the reader follows
Rachel Watson as she boards her
commuter train from the suburbs
to the city each day, watching the
world go by from the window of the
train. Rachel is unemployed, newly-
divorced and an alcoholic, in short, a

character on the edge of falling apart.
The reader is made to empathize with
her through her everyday challenges
of coping with depression, gaining
weight through comfort eating, and
having to tell friends and family white
lies to hide the fact she is slowly but
surely slipping away to somewhere
possibly very dangerous.
A dream tale to make into a movie,
but characterization in a book is
very different from characterization
on the screen. And the movie will
open to audiences, of whom many
who have read the book will already
know the outcome. While there
will still be plenty of mystery and
intrigue, the challenge to live up to
a page-turner and one-sitting read is
enormous. The lead would have to go
to an actress whose celebrity would

role of Rachel Watson,

bestseller The Girl on
the Train
not overshadow the character. Emily
Blunt could well turn out to be the
perfect casting choice, and if she can
pull it off, this role could well snag her
movie Awards and other accolades,
but more than that, properly stamp
her on the worlds consciousness not
just as an actress who acts in A-list
movies, but one who opens these
movies.
Says producer Marc Platt, Emily
possesses tremendous craft, but at the
same time she feels like somebody you
know. Rachel Watson needs to be
played by someone the audience can
relate to because she is not a superstar.
She is a nobody, or compelling herself
through her actions to becoming a
nobody. And yet at the same time,
she needs to convince you that
she is capable of terrible things,
www.fswmag.com | OCTOBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD
even murder. She
is a girl not fully
in control of her
actions, although
she wants to be.
Another big factor
when it comes to
whether a movie
can become a
blockbuster or not,
is how good the lead
looks and here was
another challenge.
Rachel Watson is a drunk, disheveled
and overweight. How do you put
together a lead that embodies all that
yet remain appealing?
Emily Blunt has that kind of look;
she can be beautiful, but not in the
conventional sense. Not by a long
shot. She is no glamour puss. Her
beauty comes from the charisma and
the characterization. Think Meryl
Streep, Susan Sarandon, Isabella
Rossellini all great beauties whose
looks grow on you as you watch
them. Emily Blunt made her debut
more than ten years ago in THE
DEVIL WEARS PRADA, playing a
supporting role to Anne Hathaway,
where at moments she steals the scene
from her much bigger co-star; this
won her a BAFTA and Golden Globe
nomination for Best Supporting
13
 Actress. And in the last three years,
Emily has been slowly edging her way
into bigger and bigger roles.
She played the female lead
opposite Tom Cruise in EDGE OF
TOMORROW (2014) as the Angel
of Verdun, poster-child for victory
for the war against aliens hell-bent
on taking over Earth. Tom Cruise
never stars against leads who are
bigger names than himself, but she
more than held her own, and most
certainly got the world watching her.
In the Stephen Sondheim musical
INTO THE WOODS (2014) which
also starred Meryl Streep, Anna
Kendrick and Johnny Depp, she plays
the Bakers wife, which earned her
another Golden Globe nomination,
this time for Best Actress in a leading

 FENG SHUI FEATURES ADORN
TRUMPS
Many Downtown City Towers
Donald Trump is the biggest
international newsmaker today.
Everything he says, tweets
and talks about makes instant
headlines, not just because he
is a potential President of the
United States, but also because
the Trump name has become
synonymous with luxurious
apartment living, not just in New
York City but also in other cities
of the Americas. FSW takes
a look at the different TRUMP
TOWERS in some of major cities
of America and we are excited
to look at some of the iconic
feng shui features that have
been so brilliantly placed that it
is obvious that Trump real estate
developments have benefited
from excellent feng shui
advice. Here is a sampling of
some of these features, which
have obviously made Trump a
powerful international brand for
wealthy auspicious living.
T
rump Tower New York City has a most
unique and auspicious frontage. It has
obviously benefitted from excellent feng
shui advice. That it is set back into the building
and the entrance rising some three levels high not
only protects the frontage and thus the whole building from the negative
energy produced by the busy traffic, it also allows Chi to gather gently
before entering the building. The Towers subdued golden coloured glassy
exterior reflects surrounding skies and effectively absorbs all the negative
energy caused by surrounding winds causing the building to sway.
Next note the unique metal clock, which features four faces. This is a
clever feng shui feature to attract good chi from the four directions and
throughout the 24 hours of the day! It is placed to the right side of the
building (looking out). Then there are the row of planted potted shrubs
that line the frontage pavement in such a way as to deflect away all bad
energy, while generating excellent growth Chi. These plants breathe
wonderful yang Chi energy into the Tower for residents, and for the Trump
Tower name to spread far beyond the city.
Finally, observe how strongly the name itself is placed on a golden
beam across the entrance, and etched subtly into the facade is the icon of
a tree. This is a powerful symbol of growth so lacking in all the cities of
the world.
www.fswmag.com | SEPTEMBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD 17
 T his is TRUMP TOWER at Fifth Avenue at the corner
of 56th Street also in New York City. Such a clever way
to design a building to absorb all the good chi generated by
the crossroads. And once again, the use of Wood element
energy is cleverly generated by the healthy growing plants
amidst dark coloured reflective glass that not only absorb the
winds that blow around the building, it also symbolizes Water
element energy to ensure healthy growth is forever present.
Once again note the use of dark reflective glass covering the
facade of the Tower. This is so beneficial for deflecting all
bad energy away. The step effect is another clever feng shui
touch much favoured by the landscape feng shui masters of
Hong Kong.

B efore Donald Trump started his

real estate empire and many have
described his buildings as gilded
phallic structures built to reflect
his big ego. No question about it.
Trump thinks BIG, so his name gets
emblazoned across the streets and
avenues of major cities. Actually,
there are Trump Palaces, Trump
Residences, Trump City Centres,
Trump National Golf Courses, and
Trump Parks in New York City
alone. Indeed, the name has become
so big that many buildings that now
carry the TRUMP name are not even
owned by him, but they do create
the illusion that his TRUMP Empire
sure is large.

T rump International Tower and Hotel in downtown Chicago benefits from amazing landscape feng shui, as can be seen
in this perspective picture showing how the building has so wondrously captured the Chi of the river. It is built at
exactly where the river curves gently so that the water embraces the building like a jade belt, bringing the best kind of
Chi energy for prosperity and growth. Once again we see the fullest use of reflective glass to absorb the winds of this windy
city and also the architectural treatment of the step effect capturing the Chi of steady growth.

T his golden coloured building is TRUMP TOWER in

5MAGNIFICENT RATIOS
This is one of my absolute
favourite aspects of mystical
Feng Shui and I have used it,
recommended it and written about
it many times before. It is from the
magic ratio that I have derived my
own personal lucky number. The
ratio is 1:1.618 . The size of rooms,
halls, foyers, windows, tables, rugs,
carpets, book covers, calling cards,
even logos and so forth that follow
the dimensions of this ratio can
lead to a shape that is certain to
create absolute good fortune.

6FLOWING WITH THE DRAGONS BREATH

It is a good idea to consciously create a moving flow of Chi inside the
home, allowing it to travel along a winding trajectory. Using a combination
of light and heavy furniture, create natural pathways that everyone usesTry to
change the flow of Chi each year, as this will awaken hidden stagnant energy.
This will allow the Dragons cosmic breath to flow naturally within the home.

7LUCKY NUMBERS
Everyone has a number that is unique to themselves, and this can be
a single number or a two-digit number. This number can be related to
your birth date or to the numerology patterns derived from the alphabets
of your name. Whatever it is, once you know the number that brings you
luck, consciously use the number so that it constantly gets activated e.g.
for your car, as your phone number, or as your password. You can activate
lucky numbers in many ways. This will also reaffirm the luck associated
with the number.

8AWAKENING
THE COSMIC QI
This means activating all the things
around you. Your home must always
enjoy Chi that is alive. Thus every
year, clean out the stagnant Chi that
has settled in dark corners, behind
cabinets, or withered away in the
gardens. It is impossible to list out all
the instances when Chi can stagnate
or die. You have to set about going
through the rooms of your home and
the different sectors of your garden
and re-awaken energy that has gone
to sleep. Awaken the cosmic Chi and
you will feel a revitalising in your
energy. You should also wake up Chi
energy in your home when someone
gets suddenly seriously ill!

11LIFE FORCE ROCKS

I am such a believer of life
force stones that over the years I have
collected many such stones, or rocks
that have directly spoken to me. These
have come from many different holy
pilgrimage places that I have been to.
I never pick these from mountains,
rivers or beaches, because I do not
like taking rocks from Nature. It is
not a good habit, as all such places
have Guardian entities that act as
Protectors, and they never like it
when people take their rocks. So I

13CLOUD SENSATIONS & SYMBOLS
Remember that clouds always mean good luck. Skies without clouds
are unlucky skies! Looking above and seeing the patterns of the clouds is
incredibly useful in measuring the feng shui of your part of the Universe.
Often, looking up, you can sense the Lord of the heavens trying to tell you
something, because cloud formations often reveal symbols that hold meaning
for you and you alone. These are the signs from heaven.

See if you can make out some of these good fortune signs, such as deities,
gods and goddesses, celestial creatures like Dragons and Chi Lins, chariots,
horses, carriages, and auspicious symbols of the Gods implements and tools
such as tridents and vajras. These all portend good things. Cloud images never
last very long, and when you ask someone else to see them, usually the winds
come and disperse them. Be observant!
14SMELLING THE WIND
This is a skill that gets better
with practice and doing it with
awareness on a daily basis will heighten
your psychic abilities. When you
start to smell the winds you will soon
begin to catch the subtlest of scents
that come with strong winds and
likewise with gentle breezes. Soon
you will become sensitive to the winds
that blow from different directions.
Smelling the winds is a practice that
awakens your deepest senses. Good
feng shui homes always smell good!

16WEALTH &
LIFE TREES
In all the spiritual traditions of
the world, trees have always been
honoured as the life-giving source
of the most amazing growth Chi.
When you surround yourself with
nine varieties of trees, they bring
the completion of every kind of
aspiration luck. Taoist Feng Shui
Masters have always been very fond
of Wealth Trees and Life Trees, to
the extent that trees have become
immortalised in feng shui lore.

17 HEAVEN &
EARTH
UNITING
Almost all
aspects of
Taoist Feng
Shui are
bound by
the trinity
of Heaven,
Earth and
Mankind.
This trinity is
the underlying
philosophy that
emphasizes the idea of the
energies above blending with the
energies below, that of heaven
uniting with earth. Indeed,
according to Taoism, clouds in
the skies reveal what lies beneath
the earth so that soil that is rich
in some particular mineral will
reflect their colours upwards into
the skies. The Chi of heaven wafts
downwards through the air and
is carried by the winds. The Chi
of earth rises from the ground
channelled by the trees and plants
that bring the goodness of the earth
to the surface. Good feng shui must
thus be channelled upwards from
the ground, and downwards from
the heavens. Meditate on this and
use your mind to visualize the flow
of cosmic Chi into your body and
into your home. So beneficial!
18MYSTIC CODES TO WISH FULFILMENT
Since ancient times, the wise men and sages of China have
known that the quality of our lives , our good fortune and our
destinies are ruled by the mystical codes of the Universe. They
also know that there is a red string connecting all the people
of the world and that these codes affect the actions and fate
of every living being on the planet, including the animals
and the plants. Everything on earth is connected by these
mystical codes.
There is a mathematical equation that pulls these codes
together, and I am not surprised that the software geniuses of
our generation are building larger and more powerful computers
than ever before. Indeed, coding is the method of working
through the algorithms of all of todays
technological breakthroughs. In
Taoist Spiritual practices that
impact on our fortunes,
t h e re a re b re a t h i n g
techniques, exercises,
postures, visualisations
and meditations that
enable us to
access these
codes, and
over time,
to apply their
usage even
though we may
not understand how
they work.
This is the key to unlocking a great deal of wish-granting actualisation that
seem to offer results like magic. Perhaps we are at the edge of discovering
how this Taoist magic actually works, but for now, what we have are
methods of capturing the Chi energies that unlock the mystical codes that
can nevertheless benefit us.

19CAPTURING THE CHI OF MOONLIGHT

The Taoist Masters work with both the Chi of Sunlight and Moonlight.
For soft magic that is gentle and all-embracing, we work first with the power
of moonlight, which is in actual fact reflected sunlight. Moonlight is yin,
feminine and pacifying. And it is extremely powerful. It is also subtle and
can be channelled into our bodies through strong visualisation on a quiet moonlit
night. The best time to do this is during the Hours of the Rat between 11pm and
1am, the time when the old day gives way to the new day.

Stand with feet about one foot apart in the Chi Kung stance, hands hanging relaxed
by your side. Then look up at the moon and visualize the light of moon shining
down and entering the centre of your body directly into the spot that is just
above the navel, about three inches below the breast. You need to capture a good
amount of moonlight Chi to empower your ability to create wish-granting magic.

In the old days, disciples would do this every month during the nights of the
waxing moon until the moon reaches full moon. This is the start to practising
Taoist magic!
 Place him in the centre of your home to enjoy happiness and
victory throughout the year! The Laughing Buddha removes
all your worries and brings joy into your life!

TEENAGERS LUCK
GOES DOWNHILL
AFTER MOVING INTO
NEW APARTMENT
by Hanni Lim
A
f e w ye a r s a g o , w h i l e
attending a wedding dinner
with my husband, I was
seated next to a lady and
throughout our 8-course
Chinese dinner, we chatted about all the
horoscope forecasts of everyone in her
family. Finally, when the final course
was being served, she lowered her voice
to a whisper, Actually I have a personal
problem I want to ask you. My youngest
son is giving me some headaches... but
I dont know if feng shui can solve this
kind of problem.
I asked what her problem was, and
she heaved a big sigh and said Well all
my children are doing really well except
my youngest boy. My eldest girl is already
married; she is a dentist in Australia. My
eldest boy is working as an engineer for a
German firm - hes about to get married
end of the year. My other daughter lives
in the USA and works for a technology
company; shes doing really well and
getting a high salary. But my youngest
son aiyoh for some reason, he is just
not like his siblings.
Mrs Liews son Marcus* was now
already 17 years old, and she continued
to explain, I dont know what happened,
he wasnt always like this. He was a very
bright student until a few years ago
when he started losing interest in his
studies. He became involved with a girl
at school and since then has gotten very
distracted. They have broken up but
now I suspect he might even be dabbling
with drugs, but I dont have proof. Hes
always coming home late and always
asking us for money. One time when
we didnt give him the money, he stole
money from our wallets. So Im not sure
if this is something feng shui can solve?
Mrs Liew invited me to her place
28 F E N G SHUIWORLD | OCTOBER 2016 | www.fswmag.com
the following week to take a look at
the feng shui of her apartment. She
explained that three years before this,
she and her husband moved into this
upmarket apartment unit in the heart
of KL. As all her children (except
for her youngest son) had already
settled down nicely overseas, Mr and
Mrs Liew wanted to scale down to
a smaller and newer space, with less
maintenance. But since moving into
the new place, theyve noticed a big
change in their son Marcus behavior
and performance at school.
At first we thought he was adjusting
to being in a new neighborhood, and
perhaps a little depressed that his

brothers and sisters are now living so far
away. Then he met this girl whom we
didnt like (her expat father was deported
back to Europe for some offence but her
mother lives here) and since then, his
grades started going downhill. Marcus
has become very rebellious and these
days we hardly even see him at home.
Mrs Liew sounded so helpless
about it all. But nevertheless, she
brought out her floor plan and we
took some directions at her main door.
Immediately, it became obvious why
her sons luck had gone downhill since
moving here. The feng shui of this
apartment was so bad for Marcus, it
was as if the entire layout was designed
to completely destroy his personal luck!
1MISSING CORNER IN
THE NORTHEAST
Take a look at the floor plan of this
apartment and youll see that it has a
big missing corner. This missing location
happens to be the Northeast location of
her apartment! The Northeast represents
Education Luck, but not only that, it
is also the palace of the Youngest Son.
Thus in this apartment, it would be very
difficult for anyone to excel in school,
and especially the Youngest son of the
family. Poor Marcus!

bad enough, Marcus, who was born in

1995, is a Boar. Note how the Kitchen
in the Northwest of this apartment
is burning away his personal luck,
as the zodiac location of the Boar is
Northwest 3! When I noticed this feng
shui affliction, I explained that the
kitchen here was also likely to cause
her husbands health and personal
luck to diminish. Mrs Liew confirmed
that since moving into this place, her
husband has developed a strange skin
problem, and experiences regular chest
infections. One time it was so bad he
had to be hospitalised for a week!
A DIFFICULT CASE
TO FIX
Unfortunately for this family, all
the feng shui flaws of this property
were quite difficult to fix through
renovation. Living in an apartment
means there is no way one can renovate
or move the bathroom or kitchen. I
advised Mrs Liew to move out of this
place, or move back to her old house if
it was still available. In the meantime,
her only choice was to use the small tai
chi method to activate the luck of these
afflicted sectors in her sons bedroom
and in the living room.
I advised her to:

Northeast. The Northeast
is an Earth location, which
benefits from strong crystal
energy. To enhance this
further, she should place
a light shining onto the
crystal balls so that luck here
is magnified. This is crucial
to activate Education Luck
and also to strengthen the
luck of the Youngest Son.
Again, best to do this in
the living room and also in
Marcus room.
Recently I bumped into Mrs Liew at
the supermarket and asked about her
son, and she told me that he is now
studying in Manchester University (in
the UK) and doing well.
After implementing the feng
shui remedies, things improved over
the years, and in the beginning, we
noticed that Marcus came home more
often and made a new set of friends
from College. But we also thought
it was too great a risk to stay in that
apartment, so we bought another
apartment. This time we made sure
it did not have all these problems!
Marcus finished his A-levels last year
with good enough results to get into
a good Uni and is now in his first
year at Manchester!
For those of you having difficulties
with your childrens performance
at school, do check the locations
in your home that represent your
childs position in the family unit,
and also their animal location. If you
cannot renovate or move out, you
can still improve the luck of your
home considerably by placing suitable
feng shui enhancers in all the correct
sectors of the house.

a particularly stunning teapot from the Qing Period belonging to the Qianlong

at Sothebys Auction in New York, demonstrating once again how rarely a piece

The teapot was coveted by over 10 bidders, and is one of only two known to be an ode to
Emperor Qianlongs adoration of tea.
The teapot has an Imperial poem inscribed on one side and a restful idyllic outdoor scene in the style of classical
Chinese scholar paintings on the other side. There is a partially hidden pavilion, an overhanging pine tree, a
meandering pathway, a view of water, rocks signifying mountain, a wall with a moon gate, a scholar - very likely
the Emperor himself - admiring an open handscroll with writing implements nearby. An attendant serves him tea
brewed by a second assistant some distance away.
The whole painting is reminiscent of excellent feng shui, where an Imperial scholar can sit in silent contemplation.
It is a happy scene and for sure, the beautiful light green teapot is likely to bring good fortune royal energy to
whoever displays it for daily viewing. The poem memorialises the Qianlong Emperors visit to the Hui Mountain
Temple, a popular place frequently visited by scholars. It can be interpreted that the teapot symbolizes here a life

Himalayas from snow-capped Tibet to tiny Sikkim, Nepal,
India and into the kingdom of Bhutan... and these days
also Vietnam, Cambodia and China have embraced the
Goddess energy of TARA, the beautiful green Buddha.
From her emanates twenty other forms of Tara, in
colours of red, yellow, golden, white and black each
carrying a different implement with which to sprinkle the
specific blessing that each Tara manifests.
Many thousands - including I - who have prayed to
the 21 Taras regularly invoking her blessings can attest
to the wondrous compassion of the TARA Goddesses.
We recite the 21 Tara Praises and make seven kinds of
offerings on the 8th day of every lunar month, and Tara
always bestows the blessings we seek.

these requirements the manufacturer
successfully created! It is as if some hidden
hand is helping us.
The 21 Taras are now available for
everyone to invite into their homes. The
statues are made of metal and gilded in
chrome gold, and the bodies have been
painted in enamel paint. They are about
2.5 to 3 inches high and they are so
exquisite even their expressions can be
clearly discerned. Each of the 21 Taras,
which we follow in the Jigme Lingpa
lineage, has one pair of hands and each
www.fswmag.com
is sitting in the same posture. This
makes it easy for you to visualize the
Taras in your daily meditations should
you wish to do so.
The Taras come with a small altar
base so they can be set up instantly
on a special prayer table as soon as
you invite them into your home. The
body of each Tara can be filled with
Tara mantras and you can request
for them to be consecrated by your
Lama before you set them up in a
sacred meditation space, which can
be a room, or a special cabinet in a
quiet corner. Make sure you leave
space where you can make water
bowl and other offerings including
lights, food and incense. As soon as
this is done, you can start connecting
directly with the Taras by chanting the
main mantra OM TARE TUTTARE
TURE SOHA and eventually proceed
to read the Praises and then chant the
individual mantras of each of the 21
Taras.

I was strongly inspired to make the
21 Tara images available to everyone
after I found the most amazingly

been back since, although I plan to
go again soon. That was the only set I
could find after searching all the shops
around the Stupa and in Thamel.
The statues are made of metal,
and every single Tara is extremely
exquisitely painted. I truly could
not resist and I did not resist! I went
with the flow but wondered if I could
successfully invite the Taras home. I
say this because the statues of Tara
were very expensive and I was afraid
I would not have sufficient cash with
me, as not all the shops accept credit
cards. The set of 21 Taras with each
statue being 5 inches high cost nearly
10K in US dollars!
I truly prayed I could make
a set that would be far, far more
affordable, so they can be accessible to
whoever wishes to forge a wonderful
bond with the 21 Taras. Everything
went smoothly for me that day at

The Internet Age is definitely enhancing the

one TV show I caught on NETFLIX recently brought
this to my attention in a big way. The show TOUCH,

take another look at what sequences of numbers

MELINDA
LOOI
QUEEN OF
AVANT-
GARDE &
MODERN-
RETRO
By DATO KEE HUA CHEE
Melinda Looi, possibly
Malaysias best female
designer, is a critically-
acclaimed, award-
winning fashion creator.
Not only are her designs
outstandingly distinctive
and unique to look at, so
is she!
U
nlike some designers,
Melinda Looi looks and
acts the part of a top-
notch designer. She is
never seen in any other
label but her own avant-garde garments,
which are never designed to blend into
the background. Like a Chanel matching
jacket and skirt, you can spot a Melinda
Looi from a hundred paces.
Then there is the designer herself.
Melinda is not a 6-ft tall sex goddess,
but you can spot her in any crowd due
to her magnificent mane!
My hair is my personal signature
and everyone associates me with big, big
hair, grins Melinda Looi. I am proud
to say my hair is all real, no bonding or
extensions!
Her trademark frizzy, frothy,
flamboyant hair-gone-feral is actually
straight! Few know this, as Melinda only
tried keeping it straight once. But no
one recognised me and I had to poke
people and say Its me, Melinda Looi, so
I went back to bouffant. Its my personal
look and I am comfortable with it.
Her crowning glory was already this
buoyant way before 1994 when she
enrolled in La Salle Institute of Design in
Kuala Lumpur. She is actually KL-born
and bred and not from some ulu part
of Malaysia.
I never planned to be a fashion
designer, as I wanted to be an artist. But
my parents believed artists were destined
to be poor, so I chose fashion instead,
as I knew they could not say no to that.
To me, fashion is also an art form, just
using a different medium of canvas and
brushes, explains Melinda.
Ironically, mum Keng Foong is a
fashion designer of sorts. My mother
is a cheong sam tailor, which requires
specific skills as it is very challenging
to make a less than perfect body look
great in an unforgiving cheongsam!
She was famous for her impeccably-cut
cheongsams back then, but now she is
in her 70s.
Now my brothers and sister-in-
law run the family garment business,
which manufactures clothes for local
corporations and businesses. My father
was among the first to import pleating
machines, and till today, many come to
our factory to get their fabrics pleated.
As far as I know, they are the only one
left in Malaysia to do fabric pleating.
I am not a cheongsam specialist,
though I produce a capsule collection
every Chinese New Year. that take the breath away and make
In 1995, Melinda Looi won the
top prize of a full scholarship to study
fashion at the parent school La Salle
in Montreal, Canada. The scholarship
was for 3 years, but Melinda proved so
talented she graduated in 2!
Back home I worked with my collection becomes a treasure trove of
parents for a year, but their fashion
is bulk production and not creative
couture. Design and manufacturing
are two separate entities.
Her brothers work with the family
firm, while sister Beatrice Looi is also
an accomplished designer.
My parents wanted me to work for
them, but my vision of fashion design
is one of wearable art pieces, and not
mass production. So I started my own
www.fswmag.com | OCTOBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD
Melindas
boutique in
Bangsar
label Mellooi Creation in 2000.
Like most designers, Melinda Looi
cultivates her own distinctive style,
which has evolved over the decade, but
retains its trademark. Most describe it
as avant-garde with a hint of retro laced
with Victorian vintage! Sometimes she
is inspired by our local tribal motifs
from Sarawak, Sabah and aborigines
as well as traditional textiles like batek
and songket.
I personally like to wear what
I design. Its my DNA, so these
are the designs I love and do best,
explains Melinda simply. I think every
designer has a favourite style or theme
he or she revisits time and again.
Mind you, her catwalk masterpieces
jaws drop are seldom purchased in
their entirety.
When Melinda sits with her
bespoke client to discuss requirements,
the customer becomes the centre of
design, and the avant garde catwalk
inspiration. Melinda will redesign a
one-off unique piece from the catwalk,
but customised and adapted to the
clients taste, figure and occasion.
Melinda Looi was awarded Best
Fashion Designer of the Year not once
but thrice! Twice from MIFA (Malaysia
International Fashion Awards) and
once from Mercedes-Benz STYLO
Fashion Awards. Plus another dozen
awards and accolades! Yet she does not
41

still has a lot to learn ahead!
She is such a runway Malaysia Boleh
icon that at one stage she had up to 6
labels -Melinda Looi Couture, Melinda
Looi Ready to Wear, Melinda Looi
Ivory, ML by Melinda Looi, Mell Basics
and Emel.
Ironically, there were no Mell

most diehard fans were confused over
these fashion follies, Melinda Looi
has wisely eliminated the froth and is
concentrating on her bread and butter.
I have streamlined the collections to

Temple of the Gold
Buddha - Wat Traimit
where Feng Shui masters have designed
the streets to align with the Dragon
Path leading to the Ratchawong
Pier to harness the water energy. The
thriving Chinese community is the
largest trader in gold in the country,
and it is amazing to see so many
shops glittering with gold jewellery
alongside retailers of Chinese herbs,
food and restaurants.
One of the most iconic temples
in Chinatown is Wat Traimit or
the Temple of the Gold Buddha.
It is believed to hark back to the
Sokhothai Dynasty in the 13th to
14th century. The massive seated
Buddha is 3.3meters tall and weighs
a hefty 5.5tonnes in solid gold! When
it was first discovered, it was encased
in concrete, presumably to prevent
theft. The Thai believed that it was
through divine intervention that the
Buddha revealed itself in 1955 when
the concrete casing broke as it was
being moved to a temporary building.
Today, the divine Gold Buddha
is enshrined in a sacred chapel in the
pinnacle of the temple under a golden
pagoda. We had to climb many flights
of steps to reach the top, and joined
the throng of devotees to offer prayers.
The vision of the resplendent Buddha
in all its glory was spellbinding.
Worshippers fell to their knees in awe
and veneration, and made offerings of
food and new robes for the monks to
gain merit.
MARKET MAYHEM
We wanted to get away from the usual
touristy markets in Bangkok, so we
decided to skip town and checked out
the suburbs. Our first port of call was
Mae Klong railway market in Samut
Songkhram Province, locally known
as closing umbrella market. It was
the most insane market I have ever
seen. Stalls selling fresh seafood and
farm produce literally set up shop
inches from the railway track sheltered
by awnings and umbrellas. At the
witching hour, an announcement
bellowed out to the traders, informing
them how many minutes before a train
approached to get ready to pull back
their shelters. As the train approached
sounding its horn, the traders pulled
back their awnings and umbrellas on
cue like choreographed performers.
As soon as the train moved on, it was
business as usual. The train runs 8
times a day serving the small towns
in the region.
Next stop is Amphawa Floating
Market, which only operates on
weekends from Friday to Sunday from
12pm till 8pm. It is predominately
for the locals who come in hoards
to enjoy the street food and carnival
atmosphere. The place was heaving
when we arrived to a delightful
cornucopia of street foods, all freshly
prepared in front of us. A canal runs
through the market where a fleet of
sampans anchored by the bank were
merrily grilling, boiling and frying
seafood, meat and noodles in their
small boats, cooking up a storm.
Diners ate sitting on the steps by the
boats, or on wooden stools in front
of shops by the canal. We ate our way
through the market, and it was not
only delicious food, it was truly food
for the soul!
A ROOM WITH A VIEW
Accommodation along the Chao
Phraya bag the best spots in the city,
and we were fortunate to stay in two
such fabulous hotels during our visit.
The first two nights, we stayed at
Riva Surya (www.rivasuryabangkok.
com) a wonderful little gem of a
boutique hotel in close proximity to
the citys main attractions. The plain
architecture belies the charming
interior that has been tastefully
designed to accentuate the cosiness
and intimacy of the place.
The airy, open-plan lobby leads
to the river with a rear garden and
swimming pool, harnessing the vibrant
chi from the waterway. This riverside
enclave is a wonderful place to enjoy a
sundowner watching the bustling river
activities. Our Premium Riva room is
a delightful haven elegantly designed
with a ringside view of the Chao
Phraya from the balcony. But the icing
on the cake is the impeccable service
and warmth of the staff, an attribute
that tops all the hardware of the hotel.
After our sojourn out of town,
we returned to Bangkok and stayed
at the exquisite temple of style, The
Siam (www.thesiamhotel.com). This
luxury urban retreat in the historic
Dusit district is a symphony in
black and white aesthetics of white
marble, neutral tones and an interior
that rocks class and elegance. It is
the perfect harmony of avant-garde
and Art Deco, creating a delightful
uncluttered vision that encourages
sweet yang chi to waltz through the
building.
In the inner sanctum, a massive
water feature with rows of travellers
palms form the centrepiece of the
atrium, emanating positive chi to the
property. The garden is a green repose
with beautifully landscaped avenues of
foliage and shrubs. The food in their
Chon Thai restaurant is an epicurean
delight. Our stay was made all the
more pleasurable by the excellent and
attentive service.
CHARMING CULTURED
CHIANG MAI
Chiang Mai, which means new
town was the ancient capital of the
Lanna Kingdom founded by King
Mengrai in 1296 to succeed the old
capital Chiang Rai. It was surrounded
by a moat and fortified walls to
protect against the constant threat
from the Burmese. Today, remnants
of the wall still remain, hugging the
city limits. It styles itself as a Creative
City, vying for a place in UNESCO.
The city is built around the
Ping River, which the Lanna people

energy to the city. It is surrounded
by mountainous landscape that
captures the positive chi from the
dragon lines of the terrain. The city
itself is renowned for its artistic flair,
as reflected in the beautiful Lanna
architecture and marvellous works of
art.
The highlights of Chiang Mai
are the beautiful temples in the city
and in the surrounds. One of the
most important temples is Wat Phra
Tat Doi Suthep, perched high up on
the mountain 15km from the city. It
was founded in 1383 on a site that a
white elephant carrying a relic bone
of Buddha was said to have chosen.
The Wat is a glittering complex
of golden temples, majestic pagodas
and Buddha statues, with a viewing
platform that commands a stunning
view of Chiang Mai. Worshippers
from all over the world come to
pay respect to the sacred relic. We
joined the battalion of devotees
circumambulating the central chedi
(pagoda), while other worshippers
burned incense and made offerings
to the plethora of Buddha statues
surrounding the chedi.

L
ast year when I brought
my family for a holiday
to Hong Kong, we took
the opportunity to visit
the Big Buddha in Lantau
Island. On the way up the hill in our
cable car, we spotted the construction
of very long bridge that seemed
to span the waters into a mist of
oblivion!
What bridge is this and where
does this go? I asked my Hong Kong
friend Ray Chan, who was taking us
sightseeing. Oh, this is the bridge
thats going to really change the economy
and traffic situation here in Lantau
Island! It will connect Hong Kong to
Macau and Zhuhai and it is over 30
miles long!
That was in December 2015,
when only the foundation pillars that
held up the bridge were visible from
Lantau Island; then, the highway that
was to sit on top of the pillars had
not yet been built. This month, only
7 months later, China has announced
that the bridge is to be operational
very soon; that the project team is
targeting to launch it by Christmas
of 2017!
The Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau
Bridge, which has so far cost over US$
10.6 billion began construction in
2009. It is one of the most ambitious
title belongs to another bridge in
China that was launched in 2011
the Jiaozhou Bay Bridge which
spans 26.4 miles linking Chinas
eastern port city of Qingdao to the
offshore island Huangdao. When
completed, the Hong Kong-Zhuhai-
Macau Bridge will be the longest of
its kind, and the project is planned
for completion in December 2017
barring obstacles.
This amazing feat of technological
architecture and engineering is
making history in the world of
bridge infrastructure. It is the first
tunnel-cum-bridge in the world to
be linked by two artificial islands

across waters that are so close to the
open sea. It is also the first to feature
a 6.2 km underwater tunnel that goes
all the way down to the seabed. This
entire stretch of tunnel is necessary
to enable cargo ships to pass through
the channel and reach the Pearl River
estuary.
THE DRAGON BREATHES
LIFE WHEREVER IT LIVES
The new bridge is expected to generate
billions of dollars of additional
economic benefit to all three cities
in the Pearl River Delta.
According to the World Bank,
Macau is among the worlds richest
regions, with its purchasing power
parity being higher than that of any
country in the world. In 2006, it
became the worlds largest gambling
centre with the economy heavily
dependent on manufacturing,
gambling and tourism.
Zhuhai is one of Chinas premier
tourist destinations, touted as the
Chinese Riviera. Its northern region
in Xiangzhou district now forms part
of the Guangzhou-Shenzhen locality,
making it the biggest built-up area in
the world with more than 44 million
citizens.
Yet the infrastructure linking
Hong Kong and the western sectors
of the Delta have long been regarded
as prohibitive. As there are no roads
that directly connect Zhuhai and
Macau with Hong Kong, motorists
have to take a long detour via the
Humen Bridge located further up
north in a journey of 200km that
takes up to four hours. The new
bridge will dramatically reduce this
time down to 40 minutes!
The design of the bridge starts
at Hong Kong Lantau Island,
meandering in a wavy pattern across
the sea, and eventually reaching the
second artificial island where it forks
into a Y configuration to Zhuhai
and Macau. The bridge resembles
the winding body of a partially
submerged Water Dragon that
has two heads. Being that the two
heads and the larger island are
located in Zhuhai and Macau side, we
can predict that a significant chunk

A MAN
WITH A
VISION
Teo has been
in the tourism
industry since
1977, initially as
an hotelier, then
branching into
tour operations
when he founded Borneo Eco Tours
in 1991, a company specialising in
nature tourism in Sarawak and Sabah,
the Malaysian Bornean states. This was
his stepping-stone into responsible
tourism, since the mainstay of his
business is nature-based adventure. In
1995, Teo opened Sukau Rainforest
Lodge, an eco-friendly lodge nestled
on the banks of the Kinabatangan
River, which cradles the largest
floodplain in Malaysia and is home
to a diverse ecosystem of vegetation
and wildlife.
Sukau Rainforest Lodge has
become the beacon of Teos vision
of sustainable tourism, by harvesting
natures gift to the earth. The lodge
maximises its green energy without
compromising the comfort of its
guests. Its water supply is collected
from the abundance of rainwater, as
nature intended in a tropical country,
and showers are heated by solar energy.
Oil lamps from recycled cooking oil
supplement lighting from generators.
River safaris to observe wildlife along
the Kinabatangan are conducted
in electric boats and eco-friendly
outboard engines.
I had a first-hand experience
staying at the gorgeous lodge
built in traditional Malaysian
architecture in harmony with the
natural environment, with as little
destruction as possible to the natural
habitat. Indeed, the forest around
the lodge attracts quite a number of
wildlife, such as many species of birds,
macaques, squirrels and even elephants
and orang utans among others. Its

in a habitat, not to mention the

the Land Dragon energy. Such
outstanding practices have won Sukau
Rainforest Lodge multiple awards,
and the jewel in the crown is the
acceptance by National Geographic
as a charter member of National
Geographic Unique Lodges of the
World, a much-coveted acclaim by
resorts worldwide.
The lodge has also provided
employment for the local tribal
community. Teos company has
contributed to the welfare of the local
people through medical care and
scholarships for training local guides;
clearing the river of suffocating weeds;
rehabilitation of birds and planting of
trees as well as many other community
services.
SHARE AND
SHARE ALIKE
Albert Teo does not rest on his laurels
over the success of Sukau Rainforest
Lodge. He is a visionary who can
foresee the danger of over-harvesting
the natural resources of the land. As
a long-standing professional in the
travel industry, Teo is in it for the long
haul. He feels that tour companies
and the government have to invest in
protecting the environment in order
to benefit from tourism in perpetuity.
Instant gratification may bring big
bucks today, but what about tomorrow

mastered, the tapping way to
relieving stress, increasing
confidence, settling nerves
and a whole lot more can
be used anytime, anywhere
and for any reason! It is an
inbuilt healing tool to see you
through all sorts of situations!

S
o far, Tapping has been
for me the most valuable
technique I have applied
to clear deep-seated
limiting beliefs, to obtain
relief from upsetting emotions
and even to cure physical pain. I
regard tapping as a really handy
tool available for me to use anytime
during the day when I need to.

AN IN-BUILT HEALING TOOL

If you are a positive person, you
can programme your mind to have
a great day, and 90 per cent of the
time, you will experience what
you believe. However, most people
enter each day not knowing what
to expect. Their day might turn out
to be a roller-coaster ride, with high
and low moments. They have no
control over who or what will upset
them or spoil their day. Should
a crisis occur, they have no idea
how to respond, least of all how to
respond appropriately. This is when
tapping can really help you to be
calm and think straight. Tapping is
not for crisis situations only; it can
be used to clear all kinds of minor
upsets as well.

64 F E N G SHUIWORLD | SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2011 www.fswmag.com

WHAT YOU CAN TAP ON
Here are some stressful situations you
may well be exposed to each day. In
each of these situations, tapping can
bring relief immediately, allowing
you to proceed with the rest of the
day in a better and more settled frame
of mind.
t
Getting up late
Your alarm did not ring even though
you had set it to wake you up at a
certain time. This alone can spoil
your whole day if you let it, especially
if you keep rushing back and forth,
resulting in you forgetting things
and overlooking the small chores
that need to get done before starting
your day.
t
Trafc jams
Traffic jams cause daily stress. When
you decide to take another route,
you find that route too is jammed,
frustrating you further. This is
probably one of the most common
things that brings up the stress level,
especially if you are already running
late. Unfortunately, city traffic jams
are a way of life in many cities!
t
Getting lost
Getting lost while trying to reach a
destination can happen to anyone.
And going around in circles to find
your way out can be unnerving, plus
waste more time. This can be a truly
fearful experience, especially when
you are not even driving and you
just cannot get your cell phone to
help you or your companion/driver
out with any of the traffic Apps that
are so seemingly easy to use for the
younger generation but not for you!
t
Arriving late for work
Upon arrival, you are told that your
boss has called for a meeting and he
is upset that you are late. This can
trigger fear or panic. Here it truly
is incredibly helpful to take a deep
breath and start tapping instantly to
calm your nerves.
t
Tight deadlines
Feeling unable to meet tight deadlines
can cause you to feel overwhelmed,
frustrated or panic. Tapping does
wonders to calm you down, allowing
you to focus on your work. In
situations when work gets too much
and you feel snowed under, use
tapping to dissolve your frazzled
nerves.
t
Encountering rude people
This can spark anger in you and can
surely destabilise you emotionally.
The anger experience is so harmful
and can go on for days, upsetting
you and distracting your mind.
Each time you recount the nasty
experience, unpleasant memories
are triggered. Tapping the anger
away immediately will dissipate
the anger and help you release
the unpleasant memory, making
sure it does not stick in your
mind.
t
Your inability to say no can
cause people to take advantage
of you in many ways
This could happen daily with people
in the office, at home or among your
friends. Tapping will release your
suppressed anger and resentment,
and empower you to refuse
politely in the future. At a
deeper level, resentment
held inside can cause
deeper problems to fester,
so here, tapping away the
discontent is just so vital!
t
Fear of being rejected
If you find it hard to say no to others,
you will find it hard to ask someone
for a favour or for help of any kind.
If they are unable to help you, you
will take it personally and feel they
are rejecting you as a person. This will
make you more reluctant or afraid to
ask anyone for help, which will hamper
your success. Tapping empowers you to
feel safe to express your needs.
t
Feeling hurt
Overly sensitive people and even
normal people can suffer a great
deal when they do not know how to
overcome this feeling of having been
unfairly treated, of having been taken
advantage of, or most of all, feeling
terribly betrayed; these emotional
afflictions can stay lodged within
you for a long time. Tapping will
help you reframe each situation and
move forward with less anger and
resentment.
t
Feeling disrespected
Being disrespected by your boss,
colleague, subordinate, friend, or
spouse, can cause a host of different
emotions such as anger, disappointment
and sadness. If these emotions are not
cleared with tapping, they fester and
will adversely affect your health and
your attitudes that are sure to affect
your work over the long run.
t
Feeling irritated, frustrated
or angry
This can happen many times a day, like
your kids screaming or messing up the
house, your maid not following your
instructions or your spouse taking you
for granted, friends letting you down
and so forth. These daily negative
emotions can be Tapped away to
provide immediate relief. If they are
suppressed, they will cause blockages in
your meridians and manifest as physical
pain or illness over time.
t
When you feel helpless
You could face difficult situations
when you simply do not
know what to do or who to
turn to, such as when you
are confronted with a
financial crisis, a child
leaving you in anger,
or when you discover
a family member
has cancer or that
your kid has just

been arrested for drugs or something truly serious. A feeling
of helplessness can overpower you and if this happens to
you, the first thing to do is to take a deep breath and start
tapping. This will help you feel calmer and in a more level
frame of mind. Things become clearer, and solutions start
formulating in your mind.
t
When you are mentally and physically exhausted
Tapping does wonders for you at the end of each day,
especially during very heavy work days when sheer
exhaustion descends on you. That is when you will need
to feel relief from headaches, neck, shoulder pains and
muscle aches. Then tapping will work wonders for you.
You can tap while watching TV. Tapping is a much better
option than reaching for some medication.
COMMON RESPONSE TO STRESS
Th e above list of stressful situations is certainly not
exhaustive. Each of us is aware of what causes us emotional
upsets daily. Most times we will suppress our feelings for
various reasons. Surely you will think that it is rude or
unsafe to express anger, especially with your boss, or it is
not the right time to speak up. Bottling up your feelings
can cause mental and emotional pain to seek release often
in the formation of tumours and disease of some kind.
TAPPING IS A WONDERFUL SOLUTION
Tapping is a most useful technique and it is available
anytime anywhere. It is here for us, at our fingertips. It is
a private, safe and effective way to release stress caused by
negative beliefs and emotions. Furthermore, the Tapping
process ensures we clear the blockages in our energy
system that impede our path to success.
THE TAPPING PROCESS
In Step 1, when you compose the right Set-up Statement,
Eyebrow Side of the Eye Under the Nose
Collarbone Under the Arm Top of Head
you are acknowledging the problem/situation causing you
stress, instead of sweeping it under the carpet.
In Step 2, you can privately and safely give vent
to your suppressed emotions in a no-holes-barred 3
Negative Tapping Rounds session. The words you choose
bring up the suppressed emotions, allowing them to
dissipate, thus releasing the blockages in the energy
centres in your body.
In Step 3, in the 3 Positive Tapping Rounds, you can
install new positive beliefs and emotions that will rewire
your brain to respond to stressful situations in a positive
and productive way in the future.
MAKE TAPPING A POSITIVE DAILY HABIT
Before I learnt tapping, there was no quick fix to releasing
the emotional upsets that surfaced for me each day.
Tapping helped me take control of my in-built healing
power and clear the obstacles that were preventing me
from living a full life.
You too can flow with life rather than get distracted
and struggle each time you encounter an obstacle or an
upsetting situation.
Now, I use Tapping daily to clear all my emotional
upsets, however small or big, when it happens. I tap when
I am worried, sad, afraid, angry, disappointed, stressed
for whatever reason, or when I am tired. As soon as I am
alone, I retreat to my room and tap away the stresses of
that day. I always feel at peace after every Tapping session
and gain valuable insights, which point me confidently
towards my next step.

 WHAT
KIND OF
DRAGON
CHI DO
YOU HAVE? by Katherine Kuan

W
herever you are headed,
remember that the way
to your destination is
always forward. I once
knew a bubbly pair of Aussie twin
sisters who both lived to a ripe old age
of past 98. They told me their secret to
a happy and long life was to live well
today, and always think what exciting
thing shall I do tomorrow?
If you google
planning,
you will see the
same flowchart
over and over:
Idea > Plan >
Action
When you plan, you run through
a process on how to materialise your
idea. Most importantly, you have
signalled to your Dragon Chi that you
are ready to start the job. Your Dragon
Chi will then be on standby to give you
the push you need! Why is planning
important?
The only variable you can control
is yourself. Other peoples reactions are
impossible to gauge, and things may
not turn out how you expect. Life is
exciting and full of surprises! If you
plan well, you will quickly be able
to respond to numerous situations.
Speedy response is important,
especially if there is a lot at stake.
Life will invariably throw you a
curveball. It does not matter if you
need to detour, because having a plan
will help lead you back to the road
you were headed on. Sometimes there
is a hiccup in your plan, and you are
forced to take a walk on the wild side,
but keep heart that all roads will lead
you to Rome. Simply alter the plan,
but dont lose the idea!
Even if you have a more laid-back
personality like me, you still need a
general plan of where you are headed.
Planning is something you do so you
are not caught off-guard. But dont be
obsessed with planning. Just running
through your course of action in
Scenerio 1 (Best), Scenerio 2 (Likely)
and Scenerio 3 (Worst) will suffice. I
cant stress to you the importance of
not getting bogged down by details.
Some people put so much pressure on
themselves worrying about this and
that, to the extent they never put their
idea into action!
This is why feng shui can help. You
want to be able to tell yourself that
you have protected
yourself from worst
case scenario
(here is feng
shui cure in
action), and
you also want to take
heart that your plans
will go smoothly and
to fruition (here is feng
shui enhancer in action).
Everyone needs encouragement of
some sort. Remember that you must
believe for it to work!
Think about how, and when, to
get it. When opportunity presents
itself, you strike! If you are lucky, you
may get more than one chance in life
to strike. For example, I wanted to
put Anthony and myself on a higher
coverage insurance plan, but I know
that for insurance plans to work, he
would need to pay premiums for many
years. Its not easy for him being the
sole breadwinner who has to feed his
parents, my parents, me and our 1,000
pets.
It is true that if we had bought the
higher coverage earlier, the premiums
would have been much lower. But it
would have been incredibly stressful
for him! So I waited till his career has
stabilised, and he had a few years of

68 F E N G SHUIWORLD | OCTOBER 2016 | www.fswmag.com

 very good bonuses. He
would be more relaxed
a b o u t m o n e y, a n d
therefore more likely to
say yes to meeting
insurance agents.
At other times, I
may not have
a chance to
d i l l y d a l l y.
Fo r e x a m p l e ,
I wanted to buy a
second property for
investment. Again,
a lot of money is
involved, and I
wanted to buy the best
property that was within our
budget. But every potential
buyer has the same idea, and
if I dont get the right window to
buy the property I had been eyeing, I
may never get the chance again. My
dream property would have been
snatched from right under my
nose!
There are many
savvy property investors
here, and it is not every
year that there is a property
downturn! We are forty
years plus, and I dont want
Anthony to be saddled with a
1 million dollar debt when we are
60. And this is assuming the
bank is willing to grant
grandpa and granny a
loan!
To be honest, I never
thought planning
was important for a
housewife. I assumed
that being at home
was equivalent to
being in la-la-
land. But then I
saw how two close
friends of mine reacted when their
husbands suddenly walked out of
their marriage. The first wife, though
in shock, immediately sprang into
action. She went to the bank and
withdrew all the money out of their
joint account. She called the property
agent to find out how the house would
be split, and she went to the lawyers
to find out her rights.
The second wife just sat in shock.
She cried and cried, and kept telling
us her husband would return to
her. In the meantime, her husband
cleaned out their bank account and
instructed a lawyer to send the divorce
documents to her. He also asked a
property agent to start bringing buyers
to see the flat. So you see, this is not
planning per se, but you cant be
clueless about what you need to do if
things happen!
If you are ambitious like Anthony,
Ill teach you a winning trick to get to
where he is today. But first you need to
accept that working hard and making
sacrifices is a basic requirement. There
are many people out there who are
able and willing to work harder than
you, and they will do so even if they
are not given a high pay. If you keep
thinking that your pay is too low for
you to work hard, then no feng shui
will be able to compensate for this
mental block that you have.
Secondly, you must understand
that there is no such thing as of
course or naturally when it comes as their Dragon Chi figures out where
to getting that promotion or bonus.
Nobody owes you anything unless
they are contractually bound to,
because everyone is fodder in the
working world! Sometimes you can be
best buddies with your supervisor, but
he needs to do the politically correct
thing at work. He will not stick his
neck out for you, because he too has
a mortgage to pay!
No matter what, you need to
stay competitive in terms of your
looks, your qualifications and your
experience. Help your supervisor to
help you! If you cannot manage this,
you are not even in the running!
Most entry-level fresh
graduates start their working life
doing operational jobs, which are
voluminous, repetitive and very low-
pay. Ask them what they want to do
in the future and 95% will say they
want to do strategic work. A group
of these young people will do the
bare minimum from 9-5, then go
home and send resumes, hoping to
land a better paying job with better
prospects. They may or may not study
to upgrade themselves.
Another group will gather after
work, and bitch about how lousy the
www.fswmag.com | OCTOBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD
job is. They criticise everything about
the company and their supervisor,
and they will blame the university
they studied in, the economy and the
hardness of life in Singapore society.
Nobody in this group will have the
right mentality to upgrade themselves.
Then there is the group who stay
back and process more forms, in the
hope that they have a more relaxed day
tomorrow. These people go home, and
burn the midnight oil studying and
upgrading their skills.
The first group of people are telling
their Dragon Chi that they want to
go forward, but they want a short
cut. The second group is telling their
Dragon Chi that they want to go
forward, but they are not willing to
do anything. The last group is telling
their Dragon Chi that they want to
go forward, and they will do whatever
it takes! So which group will benefit
from feng shui? The answer is all 3
groups!
The first group needs to be patient
is the short cut. The second group
needs to wait whilst their Dragon Chi
lies low, waiting for the opportunity
to get closer to the destination. The
final group, wow, their Dragon Chi
is so lucky! It has gone on ahead
clear mandate given that it is free
to explore the many ways to reach the
target, go up, down, left, right, under,
over take whatever direction to help
me get to my target!
Now for the tip I promised you.
Whenever Christmas time approaches,
you will find the office especially quiet,
because almost everyone has gone
for their year-end holiday. You will
find plenty of time to sit peacefully
in the office, and think about what
you can do to make you and your
colleagues work easier. Our Singapore
government likes to use the term
increase productivity.
For example, if you work with
a huge volume of repetitive data,
you can export to Microsoft Access,
a powerful software for handling
and managing data. In addition,
you will be able to do some simple
programming to retrieve data as per
your departments requirements. Yes,
it sounds like we should, but many
69
 people I know stick to
Excel simply because
when they first took
over the portfolio,
the predecessor had
already keyed in
Excel, and so they
continue with the old
method. The volume
may have been small
when your predecessor
created a list to hold
information, but
today it has become a
huge database! So do
something!
Anthony does not
need to handle huge
volumes of repetitive
data because he has
a different job nature
now (yay! he made
it through!). He also started out
doing mundane operational work,
so I know its really tough. Good for
him because Anthony loves to read
programming books, and he also
loves to attend computer courses,
so he really is an expert at using the
advanced functions of Microsoft
Excel (he is so good many of my own
friends ask him for tuition)!
His most marketable talent is
that he is a genius at Excel macro
programming! It was not easy to
get to genius level; he has devoted
many days of his personal leave
hunching over his laptop at home,
simulating virtual work scenarios, and
challenging himself on creating the
most effective macros! It has become
his passion to work in and familiarise
himself on the job, and then use his
talent to simplify work flows! But
dont be disheartened if you are a
computer nut like me, you can always
work with your IT department on
your idea. Let them design and come
up with a program!
There are many benefits to coming
up with methods to cut short work
processes. The most important benefit
will be: you make your Boss look
good (because his department came
up with an innovative way to get
things done faster and better)! Dont
be dismayed and sour when your Boss
takes the credit for your hard work!
70 F E N G SHUIWORLD | OCTOBER 2016 | www.fswmag.com
Have foresight! When your Boss looks
good, he will promote you, and he
himself will be promoted by his boss.
So, one day you will sit in his chair!
Be patient! What you need to
do now, is to do more than what is
required of you in your job scope,
and make sure you are in the running
for a promotion. Incidentally, if you
are free to work on improving work
processes during periods other than
Christmas break, then there is really
no need for you to improve work
processes, because the work load in
your department must be very light.
Haha!
Jokes aside, what must you do to
nail that promotion? First you need
to fix the feng shui of your home and
office (your work desk) by taking care
of the annual and monthly afflictions.
I know we dont have much choice
fixing the feng shui in the office,
because HR assigns us our work desk.
Just try your best (do something, dont
just surrender without fighting!) and

Lillians annual Extravaganzas to find
out the yearly star chart, and you must
buy FSW magazine, or subscribe to
Lillians free e-zine, to find out what is
the monthly star chart. Lillian makes
it so easy to enhance the good stars

You must display Lillians monkey

Hong Kong! Join the Victorias Peak
daytime city tour, which has a local
photographer taking photos of you. Ask
him to take a photo of you standing in
Victoria Peak, with the tallest building
in HK in the background. It does not
count if you go and take a selfie! Dont
try to be funny! The tour guide will
encourage you to buy that picture of
you framed on a porcelain souvenir
plate. Please buy it (dont haggle over
the price please), bring it home and
consider the promotion a done deal! I
put my collection of these lucky plates
in the NW of my living room, which is
excellent because round is metal (NW),
and white is metal (NW) and porcelain
is earth (earth produces metal!).
If the NW of the living room is
missing, you can put it in the NW of
your study room. Why do Anthony
and I have a collection of these lucky
plates? Because the HK landscape
is constantly changing, so every few
years they construct a new building,
even taller than the previous! To keep
up, Anthony kept improving his office
workflows, and we kept going back to
HK to take a new photo. We learnt
this feng shui lucky trick from a HK
tour guide, maybe 20 years ago when
we were both still working. Be sure
to check the HK weather forecast on
the day of your trip because you want

LESSONS MY PARENTS TAUGHT ME
Ageing
Gracefully
FINDING MEANING
AND INSPIRATION
IN LIFE
BY DATO HALIMAH MOHD SAID
A
geing gracefully is an
adage which many of us
affirm to ourselves and
to our family and friends.
It is a wonderful piece of
advice to live the rest of our life with
honour, respect and dignity, as in
doing so, we earn the admiration of the
people we associate with. We get along
with others and travel on lifes journey
with ease and, God willing, with much
joy and happiness.
There are many aspects to ageing
gracefully. One of the most important
is to feel confident and to present
ourselves well in our social interactions.
No matter who we are meeting, at
home or outside, we must make it a
72 F E N G SHUIWORLD | OCTOBER 2016 | www.fswmag.com
point to be neatly groomed in casual
or formal clothing. I picked up this
habit early from my mother who,
even though she was only a housewife,
would be dressed and ready to face the
world at nine oclock every morning.
In grooming herself, she was showing
respect to her guests and visitors no
matter who they were.
Besides physical grooming, another
inspirational trait is to develop an
interest or several interests that will
be a source of activity in our senior
years. The saying An idle mind is
the devils workshop rings true, as
nothing is more depressing than
having nothing to do.
To age gracefully, our minds
Writing has

me great joy
and a sense of
fulfilment.
must remain stimulated with useful,
constructive thoughts. Just as in our
working years we undertook work,
which brought about results and
outcomes, it is important for senior
citizens to be productive in order to
still have that sense of achievement.
No matter how old we are, we need
to preserve our self esteem and self
respect. Only then can we be a source
of strength and inspiration to our
children and grandchildren.
Cultivating an Interest
Most of us worry about retirement,
not only because we will be deprived
of our main source of income, but
also because we will no longer have a
working environment and colleagues
who are our source of interaction.
An important aspect of workplace
communication is the shared goals
and objectives, which motivate us to
achieve the successes for ourselves, for
our team and for the department.
When we retire, we have to accept
the fact that we may have to be our
own motivating factor. We may not
be privileged to enjoy the company of
others as much as we did before. We
must therefore cultivate an interest
that suits our personal needs and
lifestyle.
Having been a teacher all my
working life, thirty two years of
Being involved in
voluntary community
work is a calling that I
find very fulfiling.

which were devoted to the teaching
and learning of the English language
and literature in secondary schools
and universities, I knew that writing
would suit my retirement needs best.
I knew that writing would sustain my
interest in reading, as the two language
skills go hand in hand. To be a good
writer, I knew that I would have to read
extensively, and most times intensively
too.
Like work, cultivating an interest
has to be planned if you want to achieve
successful outcomes. I therefore made
plans to write two whole years before
I retired in April 2000, penning my
ideas, thoughts and feelings on the
things which were near and dear. I
wrote poems and essays on language
and linguistics, on culture and society,
and on my personal experiences. The
first article to be published by New
Straits Times (NST) in 1998 was a
rather long piece I had written on my
father entitled In Memory of a Dear
Father. I was thrilled to bits to see my
writing in print and was even more
excited when I received compliments
from family and friends.
Writing for the newspapers will not
make you a millionaire, certainly not
in Malaysia, but it gives you a great
sense of fulfillment, as newspaper
readership is quite wide and diverse.
Post-retirement, I continued to write
regularly for the NST, sending them
longer feature articles as well as Letters
to the Editor, which made me a
popular writer. I also wrote for The
Star and Utusan Malaysia, where my
pieces were published in the column
Pendapat. Later, I added The Sun to
my list of tabloids, and contributed
analyses of socio-cultural and political
issues of concern in a fortnightly
column This N That.
My writing interest developed
further when I co-authored a book
Images of the Jawi Peranakan of
Penang (2004) and published several
other books including Memories Of
Our Mothers (2014) and Visions For
Peace (2016). Currently, Im writing
a book on my father.
Source of Inspiration
Like so many things in my life, the
source of inspiration for many of the
choices I make comes from my parents.
With writing, I was greatly inspired
by my father, who started writing in
the newspapers even when he was still
in public service. He retired in 1969,
and at 71 began writing his memoirs,
which was published two years later.
I had watched him working
doggedly on his old typewriter, after
doing considerable research in the
libraries and archives of Malaysia and
Singapore. I had thought at the time
that it was so strange for an old man to
be peering into dictionaries at 3 oclock
in the morning, and continuing to tap
away till dusk when the evening light
was not bright enough for him to edit
his own work.
How uncanny that as a
septuagenarian now, I am doing
the very thing I thought strange
many, many dreams ago. During the
months when I suffered from chronic
insomnia, I used to prowl around the
house reading books and magazines,
and then translating my thoughts
into writing on the word processor
under blazingly bright lights. I often
thought of my dad who did not have
the convenience and efficiency of the
electronic IT Age during his time. That
did not stop him from pursuing his
www.fswmag.com | OCTOBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD
interest and making a success of it.
The first volume of his
autobiography entitled Memoirs of A
Menteri Besar: Early Days published
in 1982 was well-received as a historical,
socio-cultural documentation of Malay
kampung life in the Bugis enclave of
Linggi in Negeri Sembilan, where he
was born. It was here that he learned
from his widowed mother and caring
relatives the values and principles of a
strict Islamic upbringing. The second
half of the book documents his English
education in Malay College Kuala
Kangsar, the elite residential school for
Malay boys.
To meet requests for the book from
interested readers, I put together the
revised edition, which was published in
2011 under a new title Dr Mohamed
Said: My Early Life. A re-arrangement
of the chapters, standardization of the
format and language and a new cover
design have added value to the book,
while the addition of a Prologue and
Epilogue has made the narrative more
coherent. The second volume is yet to
be published.
Voluntary
Community Work
Involvement in voluntary community
work is a calling that many retirees
find fulfilling, as it makes us feel
that we are giving back to society
without expecting anything in return.
It is important that we join the right
voluntary organization, which offers
a range of activities that we can
choose from. For this, we must follow
our intuitions to undertake work
which we will find rewarding. We can
choose to help nurture children and
young people, or support a group of
senior citizens. We can contribute our
73
 expertise to helping disadvantaged
communities, or teaching the disabled
new skills.
In PCORE, the citizen movement
that was founded in 2010 and which I
now lead as President, we have a variety
of activities to suit the diverse interests
of our members. At the highest level,
there are forums and dialogues on issues
of concern, which they can participate
in; cultural and heritage activities;
language and communication camps;
health and wellness programmes,
as well as neighbourliness and
community networking. Members
are encouraged to identify the needs
of their immediate community and
volunteer their time and effort there
with PCOREs support.
I find this phase of my life most
productive and fulfilling, as I have maintain our well-being by following

ARCHITECTURALLY
SPEAKING by Chris Yeo
W
hen we start to
look at the design
of a space, we
must always make
sure that whatever
ideas or suggestions we put forward
are relevant to the context of the
space. The one mistake people always
make is to suggest a variety of ideas,
which may sound ideal in a different
context, but may not be suitable for
the space at hand.
Take for example, a public space. If
we were to design the common foyer
of a multi-story residential tower, we
need to look at examples of other
residential towers, and identity what
key components add to the aesthetics
of the space. What we want to avoid is
80 F E N G SHUIWORLD | OCTOBER 2016 | www.fswmag.com
to study a design that would not have
any similar characteristics such as the
living room of a house.
While there are many different
elements of the home that one may
be attracted to, such as the use of
wall decorations, the type of casual
lighting fixtures or even the pattern
and colour of carpet finishes, it is
important to take note that such
design details only suit small confined
rooms tailored for the individual.
When we look at a larger space,
such as a common foyer, the key is
to understand that not everyone will
accept a certain colour, material or
even lighting level.
What is ideal is to provide a space
that works with the architecture,
whereby the space plays with the
emotion of space, rather than focus
of the details of the space.
There are two types of design
emphasis to consider. The first is the
Visual and the second is the Emotional
impact. The visual element focuses on
what you capture with your eyes, such
as colours and brightness. This part
of the design looks at soft furnishings
and cladding. The second element
focuses on how we feel when we
enter a space. Compared to the visual
appreciation of a space, the emotional
response is one that will stick in our
minds the longest.
So how do we deal with the
emotional response to a space? First
we must put aside the small details
and focus on the overview. In the
case of the common foyer, we need
to first understand the context of the
space. Most common lobbies tend
 The next component is the
sense of Activity. When you
design a public space, you will
encounter scenarios of human
traffic congestion, especially
when it comes to lift lobbies.
Depending on the time of day and
frequency of lift stops, we may
encounter situations whereby
the lift lobbies are packed to a
level where people exiting would
collide with those entering.
This will remain one of the
hardest design problems to tackle,
as it deals with each individual
separately. What we can try to
do is to plan the space by first
Common Lobby
segregating the movement of
entry and exits. Next, we need to
to have a high ceiling which will be
serviced by a bank of lifts, with walls
usually cladded in a stone finish.
Based on this typical description, we
can already identify the three core
components of the architecture of
the space.
These being the sense of Vertical
space, the sense of Activity and the
sense of Materials.
When we look at the treatment of
vertical spaces, there is a balance of
being too high or too narrow. Some
may use the golden rule of 1.618 as
a means of proportion, so if we have
a room 10m long, we can have a
ceiling height of 6.18 m. Other ways
to control the height of a space is with
the use of a sculptural chandelier to
lower the perception of the ceiling
height, so as to prevent the space
from feeling too hollow.
Another technique to treat the
ceiling level is to create a perimeter
light throughout to break the vertical
and horizontal planes, giving a sense
of detachment of the planes.
How we treat the vertical space
will ultimately have a bearing on how
we feel within a space. Too high and
hollow and we will feel small and
insignificant. Too low and tight and
we will experience a claustrophobic
effect. Therefore, the first step in any
common space is always think of the
pedestrian, and then to design the
space in proportion to the human
body.

www.fswmag.com | OCTOBER 2016 | F E N G SHUIWORLD 81

 look at the speed and waiting times of
people moving in and out. As people
tend to exit faster than people waiting
in line, we will need to provide a
design solution in the foyer whereby
people are able to sit, mingle and
relax in comfort while waiting.
One solution would be to create
a partition between the foyer and the
lift lobby in order to break the two
activities up. By doing so, it allows
the waiting for the lift to take on a
different feeling of relaxation and not
anxiety.
And finally the use of Materials.
The choice of materials will have
a subtle impact on how we appreciate
the space. For example, the use of
stone versus timber flooring will
give a corporate feel versus a homely
feel. The use of stone cladding on When you start to look at the furnishings.

SEEING A PIXIU IN THE
CLOUDS DURING MY
PRAYERS
Q If one sees the cloud that looks like the Pi Xiu in
the sky when praying...what does this mean?
A Usually when we are concentrating on prayers
we may receive messages from the universe.
This may come in the form of thoughts or things
we see that make sense to us. The Pixiu is a mythical
creature that removes obstacles. It is also a symbol of
protection. So in this case, the Pixiu here could mean
that whatever your problem you might be facing or
praying for a solution, this will be solved. It is a good
sign . I suggest inviting the image of a Pixiu and placing
it near your entrance so that you can benefit from
this sign.
LADY FRIEND IS BAD
MOUTHING ME
Q Im a guy and I have a lady colleague giving
me trouble by gossiping and bad-mouthing
me. What can I do to counter this?
A First thing you must do is NOT lose your cool!
Carry the Anti-Anger amulet that we make and
wear the Popularity Scarf we make. All this will
reduce whatever hostility coming from this lady. You
should also install a mirror on your desk, facing her
direction as this will reflect away whatever bad vibes
coming from her. Finally, send her a big
bouquet of yellow or pink flowers
on her desk from you with a note
to congratulate her on something
she achieved and did well. Trust
me, her whole attitude towards you
will transform instantly! Focus on
making peace and do not inflame
the situation with retaliation.

HOW TO ACTIVATE
THE FLYING STARS
IN MY HOUSE?
Q My home faces N3 and I have got a flying
star chart generated using your flying star
calculator. But Im not sure how to activate
for better health and wealth for our family. Should we
focus on annual and monthly flying stars or based on
the flying star chart?
A The simple answer is that you activate ALL
the stars for wealth and health the flying star
chart, the annual chart and the monthly chart.
For health luck look for the 1, 6 or 8 mountain stars
and place a large crystal there. For wealth, look for the
number 8 water star and place a water feature there.
Then, always disarm the bad stars of 2 and 5 this
must be done for the flying star chart as well as the
annual and monthly stars. You will end up with multiple
cures and enhancers in all sectors of the homes, each
for a different star flying star, annual and monthly
- but they all know what theyre supposed to be
doing. This is how we practice flying star feng shui
and it has served us well time and again.
WHERE TO PUT
TRASH CAN AND
RECYCLE BIN IN
GARAGE
Q The NW of my home has a garage and I
placed all the necessary annual and monthly
flying stars remedies there. I keep it clean.
Only one problem is a big trash and recycle bin is also
in the garage and no place to move it except outside
the home. Is this ok and if not, where can I place it?
A Im really pleased to hear that youve placed
all your cures and enhancers in the NW part of
your house. But unless you or your husband
spends time there, the cures and enhancers wont
do much to help you. Can I suggest
bringing in the cures and enhancers
and placing it in your living room?
Meanwhile, your trash can and
recycle bin can remain in the garage
as long as you do not place it in the
NW corner of the garage itself. A
good solution is to buy a standalone
laundry cupboard and lock away
the trash bin and recycle bin inside
the cupboard. This way, the bad
energy from the trash wont emanate
to the rest of the garage.

 DO I PLACE MY
CURES FACING
AWAY OR
TOWARDS ME?
Q When placing cures, such as a Rooster in the
west to activate peach blossom luck, must
the rooster be facing a certain direction?
What about mandarin ducks, must they face a certain
direction even if they are in the sector?
A Usually for feng shui enhancers that bring good
fortune, you want it to face inwards towards
you, as if coming from a good direction. So for
example, you can place the Rooster facing inwards
coming from the west direction (meaning its faces
East). For cures that are meant to take bad luck away,
you face it outwards. So for example, if the Rooster
you place there is meant to guard against infidelity
or office politics, face it away from you so that it can
deal with oncoming bad energy and deflect it.
RENOVATING
KITCHEN IN
SOUTHWEST
Q Im a 65 year old Rabbit and my daughter is
a Snake. We have a kitchen cabinet in the
Southwest and am thinking of renovating in
September. Will this harm us in anyway?
A Better you wait for next year as the Southwest
has the Grand Duke Jupiter this year. Next year
(Rooster year), the Grand Duke moves to the
West, so you can safely renovate. But to be honest,
the SW is not the best place for the Kitchen as this
is the location of the Matriarch. Also, if it is a minor
renovation then OK but if it is a major overhaul it might
be a good idea to move out of the house while the
renovation is taking place. SW is a location that affects
the Matriarch so if you dig and bang there it is sure
to affect your health and wellbeing as the matriarch of
the house. If you have no other choice than to have the
kitchen here,
make sure
your sink and
stove are not
located in the
SW corner of
the kitchen
itself. But
wait till next
year to do all
this.

HOW TO MAKE
HUSBAND LOVE ME
MORE?
Q How do I make my husband more loving and
affectionate? We have a mirror facing my
bed and I also sleep on a single bed joined
together with another single bed where my husband
sleeps. Could this be the problem?
A
Definitely the mirror in the
room and the two single
beds are the problem!
You must not have a mirror
in the bedroom as this will
encourage a third party to
interfere with your marriage!
Also, sleeping on separate
beds even though they are
joined together means there is
a rift between you both. This is
very bad for couples. Please invest
in a single Queen sized mattress
that you can both share. Finally, if
you want more loving action in the
bedroom, install red lamps!
SINGLE BUT LONELY.
NOTHING HAS
WORKED!
Q Im a 53 year old lady but Ive been
single for 19 years. Although I attract
men, I cant seem to stay in a stable,
steady, loving relationship. I have tried many feng
shui cures from quartz hearts to double happiness.
I even have my bed against a wall with 2 lamps on
either side. Everyone I have met is either a player
or emotionally unstable. I am still attractive and get
compliments from people. I have lost hope of ever
finding true love. What can I do?
A Check the NW corner of your house. I suspect
it either missing, has a store room, toilet, laundry
or kitchen. Houses with this feature cannot
seem to keep a Patriarch there for long. I am getting
the feeling that you also have some very deep and
sad past with men in general perhaps when you
were young something It is a good sign very traumatic
happened. You must let go of this past I suggest
chanting the mantra of the Compassion Goddess
OM MANI PADME HUM for 1 mala every night while
visualising all the hurt from past to dissolve away
you have to let this all go before something new can
take root and blossom in your heart. Take care and
much love from Aunt Agga.
