After reading your old e-mail; I would like to put in my 2 cent suggestion :
1. I would like to see someone write something about how to use "Tong Su". It seems that there is a lot of valuable information one can derive from there.
2. There is so many differentiate "feng shui" method, how does one know which one to use
3. I have yet to read any books on how to calculate one's "8 Character" may be there's a topic for you.
4. Case study, lot of example would help a beginner like me to get started
5. What's work and what's not; What symbol, etc. is a no no; like whether one should use a lion symbol in front of the main door. I was told it's not meant for everyone, is that true ??
That's for now. Hope my suggestion help.
Happy writing.
Mark.

there is such a book available in the bookshops(in singapore). i can't recall the name but if you really need it, i can check it out when i next visit a book shop.very comprehensive, although i cannot affirm the authenticity of the info within. whatever it may be, a pinch of salt here and there is advisable.
2. There is so many

good question. i'd like to hear what cecil will say. i reckon a stance of 'prevention is better than cure' is more beneficial to practitioners, esp. newbies.
3. I have yet to read any
books on how to calculate
one's "8 Character" may be
there's a topic for you.
again, there are books on this topic too. although not written as a whole book, but chapters within a book. pls note i'm not recommending (as i haven't read them in its totality yet), just merely mentioning their existence. authors(english) to look out for are evelyn lip and hee yin fan, and maybe cecil lee (in future?). there are also mandarin/chinese paperbacks if you're interested, from hk and taiwan. happy reading.

lastly, to cecil, this is indeed a much better format for a bbs. all the best to your new book, reckon its almost done, yes? have a great 1999, make it a productive and prosperous one. good health too.

hi again.
the 240-page book is titled "TUNG SHU"- the ancient chinese almanac. Edited and translated by Martin Palmer with Mak Hin Chung, Kwok Man Ho and Angela Smith. Costs SIN$15.00. Quite an eye-opening read. At least I'm able to now answer some of my parents queries, as well as enlightening myself in the process.
to you cecil, thanks for the best wishes.
rgds.

Happy new year to everyone.
Thanks Eve for your input. I am not sure whether those books that you mention is available in the US or in Malaysia, but I will try to locate one.
Again, thanks for your input.
Mark.
