It's my last feng shui lesson today. yeah. (cause for celebration!) it's a trip at the orchard area. Ok, im sure that what im going to say will not register well with some people because i will be very sarcastic and i will be blatantly criticising some of the things which the geomancer taught us today. well, feng shui is GENERAL KNOWLEDGE (as so they say),not anything got to do with religion or what so no one has the grounds to say that im bring disrespectful to their religions!! YEAH. Oh, and brothers and sisters of Christ, it's advisable not to expose ourselves to all these deception. Unless, like me you want to have a good laugh about how ridiculous it is. here goes...

i forgot what place this is. but then the geomancer is talking abt how water is important to the feng shui of company buildings. even better if the water is flowing. and he said that this fountain is one perfect example as to a good fountain which would help propel the company to greater heights because the water is flowing, and slowly too. he said that flowing water = flowing luck/energy and so the company gets good luck all year round. WHOA. What an amazing job this fountain holds. People hold them in such high esteem. Such a beatiful fountain from a talented designer and people has warped his intentions as to why he designed the fountain this way. He might not even know feng shui at all, to begin with.



According to the geomancer, this empty area of land has not been touched by any land developer as it has a poor feng shui. yeah, right. Everything is supposed to be connected to feng shui. Honestly, have they even considered some other explanations as to why this piece of land is untouched? like how the land is too small and limited for anyone to construct any buildings of purpose? And how it's near a traffic juncture and so there they don't want to risk having car accidents when they drive their cars out? Ok, i admit that im talking crap, they may be total rubbish. But, at least i know that they shouldn't jump to conclusions about bad feng shui or what. And to think that they say feng shui is a calculated science. i thought science is about experimenting and questioning, about evidences?

These are the suntec buildings, beside the suntec convention hall and the fountain of wealth. There are five buildings in total and the managers of this place have invited 3 famous geomancers from Hong Kong to design for them their empire of companies. They are designed to look like a left palm. Pity i didn't take a photo of the 'thumb' (i only dare to take photos from the bus and not in front of the geomancer and others, i dun want him to actually think that im keen in feng shui!) as it's supposed to be the most interesting of them all. Then this area has all the five natural elements blah blah.. and the round driveway around the fountain of wealth helps to bring the good energy around and everyone gets a touch of the good energy and so everyone is happy because everyone gets rich together, yeah, yahoo!

Oh, and buildings are not supposed to be built so that they have sharp edges because apparently, sharp edges are inauspicious because it means you are pointing dangerous energy to your neighbour in front of you. (imagine holding a knife to the person in front of you). sorry, but i think this is really, utterly, truly, thoroughly RIDICULOUS. And here comes the meticulous feng shui masters to the rescue!!! They have added some features to the buildings so they will not be directing bad luck to their brothers as they are like all next to each other. wow, what a brilliant plan. i dunno if it's childish or what. i really dunno. And it's not that i dared to say all these sarcasms when i dun have any sound explanation as to why i think it's crap. later, later.



The best part is yet to come. What comes next is really the worth-to-laugh-out-loud part. The 3 Hong Kong geomancers thought of an extra twist to keep the good energy and luck to themselves. (their bosses' rivals are the developers of millenia walk which is just next to them.) They built a wall to stop the energy from flowing onto rival territory. yeah, brilliant solution! so the rich good energy will be always be kept to themselves and they will all share it amongst themselves and forever and ever they won't have to worry about some of their good luck spilling to their evil competitor because they built a super duper mighty wall which will rebound back their good luck to them and at the same time prevent bad luck from the other evil side to reach them! great solution! brilliant! smart! absolutely marvellous!! how wonderful! eureka! *doubles over with laughter*

This is the super duper mighty wall.

See the wall in the center? The left side is suntec, the right side is millenia walk. Come on!!!!!!!!! Wake up!!!!!!! If this is not superstition i dunno what it can be called. calculated science?? haha...

This is the ground outside the 'thumb'. They have just recently changed the tiles to something smoother, before it's more rough, like cobblestone. Well, it's so that things will go smoothly for them.

People listening intently.

Something from the ancient chinese times. There are lots of these kind of interesting stuff in the classroom of W*y Academy. Now this time im not being sarcastic, i truly think that they are interesting. Interesting way of thinking,our ancestors.


I wonder, why do some people put their fates in the hands of other people (geomancers, astrologers, fortune-tellers etc..)? They believe what they see and hear and they change their lifestyles, their places of residence, even avoiding doing something, wearing something or even eating something because 'according to the masters, they are supposed to bring bad luck.' Have you heard of the myth that businessmen cannot eat frogs (tian ji) because their businesses will fail if they do that? Well, i think it's downright ridiculous... If we really have to govern our lives because of these superstitions, then what kind of a life would we have? There will be no joy in having to follow these strict and to me, weird, practices and believes. Horoscopes, the common thing which ppl believe in.. even some christians. Think, before you read the daily horoscopes on your love life, your luck and blah blah, you already have half a heart that believes that what you read is true. And after you read, because you are willing to believe that what you read is going to happen to you, that thing will most likely happen, out of imagination and out of the willingness of your mind to believe that little piece of information is real, i dunno. What i know for sure is that these kind of things (meaning from someone else, dun care if it's a master, an expert or a famous fortune teller) do not come from God. i would rather place my life, my destiny, my fate, in God, not someone God created. Who is more superior? Our creator or we, humans? The same thing applies to an idol and a human. Who is more superior? We who crafted that idol or the idol itself? Ok, i know this remark is really offensive. But in a way im not referring to religions. Im just referring to idols (me trying to deceive myself, lol). And ppl say that we christians have to abide by the ten commandments also so aren't we even more miserable cos religion this kind of stuff is so much more strict and confined? ha, i know that god loves me, jesus loves me, i understand his love and so i love him back. When u are truly a child of god, you will honour him and know that the things u do are all worth it, worth it for his glory as he deserves it. the holy spirit is with me, in me and i find it a joy to be able to live my life according to his will and his teachings. great, i sound so religious but heck.. BWAHAHA..

Also, there are so many interpretations of the star patterns astrologers see. One astrologer's view may not be the same as another astrologer's view. So whose interpretation is the right one? This goes to show that humans can never be sure of the future, even fortune tellers themselves. (ptn: if famous fortune tellers can really tell the future, why can't they know everything that there is to know, that is going to happen the next day? you cannot deny that most things they cannot be certain of, humans just cannot know what is going to happen.. the future is foggy. No one but He knows exactly.actually i have alot to say about fortune tellers but i dun think it would be wise to say that in my blog, i dun want to offend more ppl than i might have already offended..)

And one thing, i realise that they only dare to talk about and show us the companies which are successful. For eg, the united overseas bank. He said that the five ice-cream sticks of the symbols represent the five natures and that the fact that it's red means that it's a fire element and so no wonder uob is doing that good. i dare say they only dare to talk about those companies which are successful. And also, i think they could have come up with these things about the symbols only when the company gets famous and successful.

Ha, they are actually very creative. There's this side of the singapore river which is rounded and they likened that to the belly of a fish. Since all the good food is at the bellyof a fish, this means the shops around that rounded area are prosperous. How far-fetched can they get? and honestly, i can come up with this kind of thing also. Just take some company which is already famous and rich and prospering and use a bit of my imagination. There! Seriously. any kid can also come up with this kind of crap.

God is a constant (think physics.. a constant will never never never change, no matter what happens, it is NOT a variable). God is the same since the beginning and now. He is still the same God. He still loves us, he still wants to protect us and he will still move mountains to let us have a chance to know him. We just like to move astray, just don't like to think that someone else other than themselves know more than they do, and that to believe in him means believing in the air, nothingness. (if so, millions of ppl, including me, in the world are either seriously full of imagination or we are sick in the mind or we like to delude ourselves. if i say that god is so real to me because i can feel his miracles work in my life, i suppose ppl will go skeptical and all.)

Ok, ive missed watching 2 of my favourite tv programmes because of writing this post... ahhhh... channel u's engine!!!

Last things to say. God gives us choices. He doesn't want to force or compel us into converting to CHristianity or what.. What he could have done to bring us back to him he did and the choice is still ours to make. After all, He gave us our lives and also the freedom to choose for ourselves come with it. yupps. And he sure did not mean for us to come up with twisted logic and turn away from the truth when he created us and blew life-giving breath into us. ARGH!!! i get angsty when i think of so many deception that is happening around me. It all comes down to Satan and his falsehoods. He try to turn god's children away form him. He drives us apart with these falsehoods, lies and deceit. Yeah, i know i sound narrow-minded, that the only perception i see is from a christian's pov. Trust me, im as sane as ever and i question a lot. But at the end of the day, im still won over by god. how to make people understand his love? i suppose it's impossible if their hearts are closed against him.

Oh, i feel sad for someone, because never in his life will he know god.. *wink wink.. (the geomancer..)
