These are some of the most memorable sms exchanges:- Client who SMSed me about her contractor: "They claim is abt the same.. Beige category.. Just slight difference... Nevermind, I will ask them to change to barley white then .. They said lily white is less beige than barley white" Cecil Lee's reply: "Lily white is slightly pinkish not the same as barley white. Lily white and barley white are not twins but rather distant cousins" Client: "Hahaha I like your way of drawing the slight difference.. Twins but rather distant cousins. Best! Thank you for your advise. Will get them to change:-) ============================= After several SMSes (advice to another client):- His r…

Dear Jolanta, Please see below:- It is best to avoid `fixed' template Feng Shui as it is not based on Traditional Feng Shui. When we consider a toilet, the more important concern is where is it located. Here the location of the toilet is more important: 1. Where possible it should share an external wall. 2. Not be located above the main door 3. Next to the main door. The above are some of the considerations. Thus the concept of the wealth sector at 3/4 wall of the toilet is if one looks closely, a flawed concept. `Fixed' templates is easy to follow but it does not have any merits under Traditional Feng Shui. Can we for sure say that this spot is our Wealth sector, a…

Dear Steven, Please see below:- Here, I am referring to either using the Eight House Theory or for advanced users, their Ba Zhi i.e. if they are a weak water person than, relate it to the location e.g. North = water element (which is not favourable to the weak fire person). For example, where East is the Sickness sector (for a period 7 house). Here, if this sector is considered inauspicious, one could inadvertently bounce back twice the `bad luck'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. This is not Feng Shui! I am just sharing a good thing! 2. Please note that through the years the model no. quoted: MK brand S4338 WHI [Year 2019]. In the future the model number may not necessary be identical to this. 2. The major advantage is that this door bell is compact and occupies the same dimensions of a concealed socket. Unlike some other brands that protrude out of the casing. 3. I have asked many clients to consider looking at this flushed-bell for their new units (whenever suitable). 3.1 The bell socket can be found directly above the cavity for the fridge in a past T.O.P. Treasure Crest condo development as the bell housing is just behi…

Dear Rick, 1. Overall, what we are trying to achieve is to increase our LUCK. 2. Feng Shui is about trying to increase our Earth Luck. 3. Feng Shui of the interior is just one aspect or a percentage of the total Earth Luck. 4. Thus, for example, the site and building or home may in certain cases account for say 30 to even 50 percent of the total Earth Luck. 5. In my opinion, the common fallacy of paying homage to a corner e.g. dressing up a corner is but say e.g. 1/8 of the total 8 or 9 sectors that is usually analysed. In more detailed analysis this can go further to 24 sectors etc... 6. Thus, it is like taking an exam. 6.1 If you are asked to answer 4 questions (which…

Confidence and Self-Esteem were best friends. They went everywhere together. If Confidence bought a new dress, Self-Esteem bought one just like it. They were very close. One day a new kid came to their school. His name was Peer Pressure. He had a friend called Hateful Words. They decided to give Confidence a hard time. They constantly teased her. They forced her to do terrible things. It was so terrible that Confidence lost Self-Esteem. When Self-Esteem wanted to start dance class, Confidence said they wouldn't be any good. Then one day, Peer Pressure introduced Confidence to Doubt. He wanted to ruin Confidence, but Peer Pressure said he couldn't yet. Self Esteem couldn'…

A Philosophy worth keeping A Nice Philosophy I believe- that we don?t have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I believe- that no matter how good a friend is, they?re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I believe- that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. I believe- that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I believe- that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I believe- that we are responsible for our actions, no matter how we justify it. I believe- that regardless of how hot and steamy a rela…

Apparently, these two cutie babies (young children) were left by her mother outside a Video Shop. The video shop was showing a Korean film. And I believe the family are Koreans.. Note: The man in the picture does not belong to the family, as he left afterwards. The mum, around 20 minutes later appeared. How's this for unattended "child care" at a shopping centre. This shows how safe, Singapore is! For a mum to leave her childern to shop (perhaps nearb-by). By the way, the girl dropped a plastic bag containing some purchases by her mum. I helped picked it up and returned to the eldest (girl). She is very cute and offered me her drink!

Lights, camera, action...Politics is equally about exposure... I mean advertising/marketing.. What more if Politicians can be perceived to be subliminally visible day and night. Now we know why in every estate our MPs Make sure that they prominently display their face all year round... Kudos... starting early... four years before the next elections..no wonder... landslide almost everytime... "We are always there -- not necessarily for you .. but we are highly visible. What Opposition? Let them bite the dusts" Thus in the event that some claim that they only seem to "SEE" their MPs once every 4 years... This is simply no…

Dear Karen, In traditional Feng Shui practise, even in China, crystals were not widely used until today. Mostly it is due to the present day where modern technology is able to create such crystals cheaply and easily available to the public. So far, I understand only recently are Feng Shui authors writing about their own beliefs that crystals can be used as either an enhancement or a cure. I guess this field is very new and my `guess' is as good as yours as to whether it is that good. I remembered, last year while doing a Feng Shui audit for my friend. On my first visit, he placed around 5 to 6 crystals at the North West (Metal location) of his home. He explained to me tha…
