Feng Shui(风水)

Hey, guys! Finally, I have done with my Final Year Project draft. As I mentioned in the previous post, I gonna share something about Feng Shui. This time, I will share some of my family background. I have several uncles and one of my uncle is a Feng Shui Master. He was a reporter of "The Star" last time and currently a Feng Shui Master. His Feng Shui's knowledge was learned from an old man as I heard from my father. Moreover, my father also a Feng Shui enthusiast and he learn all these by himself.

For you guys information, Feng Shui consists of 5 elements that are Metal(金), Wood(木), Water(水), Fire(火) and Earth(土). These five elements form our earth and most of the things in the world. These five elements can be found in most of the things in our Earth therefore they can be consider as the basic elements. One important point that I want to mention here is Feng Shui does not related to any of the religious and it only mentioned about the nature of the world. Feng Shui explain about the relationship between all the living things with the non-living things. It is a quite abstract topic and it do related to our daily life.

Actually, Feng Shui is just a part of the contents from the Book of Change(易经). Almanac(通书) is also another topic that obtains from the Book of Change and it is closely related to Feng Shui. In other words, Feng Shui and Almanac are subset of Book of Change. Begins from here I will describe about some of the Feng Shui aspect. According to my uncle's description, we can make some change to our life by implements Feng Shui in our daily life. The daily life that I mention is not the usual daily life that we refer to, but it consists of the way we live and lifestyle.

My uncle did mentioned an important advice for those that plan to hire a Feng Shui Master last time and I will share it to you guys at here. Some of Feng Shui Masters are not good in their profession due to lack of certain important knowledge in Feng Shui but some how they still can make something bad to you. If you invite these kind of professionist and you don't believe with them then they can make use of Gui Wei(鬼位) to do something harmful on you so that you would believe on it. However, most of the skillful Feng Shui Masters won't do such kind of thing to us. Therefore, please do not offend Feng Shui Masters.

Some people may thought that this is just a joke but it really can happen to anyone of us. The effect of Feng Shui is not just improve your life but it can also make you(including your family and descendants) much more worse than now. Therefore, do not try to offend Feng Shui Masters. The ex-president of Republic of China, Mao Zedong(毛泽东) is one of the beneficiary of Feng Shui. His story has been mentioned innumerable time in most of the Feng Shui's book.

During his childhood, his father was guided by a Feng Shui Master for buried his grandfather's body on a good land(龙脉). According to the explanation of Feng Shui's book, the place where his grandfather buried is only good to him but may caused harmful to his descendants. As a result, most of the Mao Zedong's son were death before the autumn of their life. His four out of six sons had passed away in the young age. This is one of the effect of Feng Shui.

Actually, Feng Shui can be consider as a science of civil engineering. It always refer to the direction of our house situated and the household design. It is much like interior design but it more emphasize on the effect of the design. For example, we should not place our kitchen facing with the toilet. From the aspect of Feng Shui explanation, toilet is belongs to water element whereas kitchen is fire element. Both these elements cannot face with each other because they are oppose to each other and if they are facing each other then worst situation may occurs. From the aspect of science, kitchen should not face with toilet because toilet is one of the most dirty places in our house.

Apart from that, if your house is facing with the T junction, then you will easily feel of under pressure and insomia. From the aspect of Feng Shui, this happen because of the flow of Chi(气). Different kind of Chi is always flowing into your house. Different Chi can have different effect and this can affect to your health especially your mental. From the aspect of science, when you living in such kind of houses, you will always see the car pass by. Every time a car pass by in front of your house, you will worry of the car is unable to stop right at the T junction and even afraid of horrible accident(s) happen in front of your house. As a result, it can caused your pressure increase and insomia. Therefore, Feng Shui is a logical subject too.

My conclusion is no matter you believe it or not, Feng Shui do exist. Hope you guys after read through this article can have a more understanding of Feng Shui. Thanks for your reading. Stay tuned for my next post. Hope you guys have a nice day!

My grandfather story

Hey, guys! Sorry for been a long time for not updating my blog. I'm currently busy with my Final Year Project therefore not much of time to update my blog. However, today I would like to share a real story about my grandfather.

My grandfather was came from China during 19th century. During those time, most of the Chinese whom came from China are as slave or been slave trade(卖猪仔) to the South-East Asia. His real surname was Wong(王). After my grandfather came to Malaya for quite a long time, he was adopted by the Lee's family as foster-son. That's how my grandfather surname change to Lee. The main reason of my great-grandfather adopted my grandfather as foster-son was because my great-grandfather(foster-father of my grandfather) have married for a period but they still have not gave birth. According to elders' advice, if someone have married for quite a long time and still have no children then they can have chance of fertility through adopting a child. As a result, my grandfather was adopted by the Lee's family. May be you guys will feel that this elders' advice is nonsense. However, it did work on my great-grandfather. After my grandfather was adopted, my great-grandmother(foster-mother of my grandfather) had pregnant and birth 2 sons for the Lee's family.

Ok, that's all for my grandfather personal background. Then, I will talk about my grandfather personal story. My grandfather was a lorry driver before he was passed away. He was death not because of having fatal disease but due to the Tame Head(降头) of someone else. My grandfather passed away when my father was 8 years old. According to my father's description, he knew it was a Tame Head because he did saw some omen that is he saw a devil(鬼子) appeared before my grandfather have the Tame Head. Before I continue with my grandfather story, I will explain about the term of devil that I used in previous sentence.

The devil that I mention here was not the western devil. It was a child whom was death because of diseases or abortion(mostly due to abortion) and the body of the child has been captured and stored in a container by the sorcerer. Before the sorcerer captured and adopted the death child, they required to go through a spirit-callback ceremony. This spirit-recall ceremony required the death body of the child and some more ceremony stuffs. I would not explain the whole process of spirit-callback ceremony because I was not very clear about the whole process and it also required some professional knowledge in this area.

This spirit-callback ceremony was used as callback for the soul of the death body for return to their body and therefore the child will be consider as 'alive'. The meaning of alive is not the body alive but is their soul alive. The body of the child is consider as a shell or home for it. This shell will be feed by the sorcerer/owner every day. However, the method of feeding is very disgusting and horrible. Therefore, I won't mention about it. Although they had death, but their soul still can walk around. Therefore, sorcerer/owner use them to perform some tasks that human hard to go through such as investigating someone personal background without go through physical contact or win in gambles. The devil can also been adopted by other people. However, it is costly and somehow it may hazard to the owner and whole family too.

Ok, let us back to the story. My father had saw the devil for three days continuously and the devil always appeared from the clock hanging on the wall. This situation happen at around 9pm and each time it lasts for around 10 minutes. My father described the devil as a child with a face that was unclear and it only protrude its head from the clock each time it appeared. The devil also knew that it has been saw by my father. However, the devil just smile with my father each time it appeared.

During the moment my father saw it, my father felt curious of it so he quickly wake my grandfather up and told him that he saw it. Then, my grandfather tried to look at the clock but he said he did not saw anything appeared from the clock. May be my grandfather was too sleepy at that time so he did not saw it. Then my grandfather advice my father for sleep early and do not think much about it.

However, my father did not listened to grandfather's advice and he tried to look at the clock again. After he waited for around five minutes, my father saw the devil appeared from the clock again. After the third night of the appearance of the devil, my grandfather begins sick. My father did not mentioned about the symptom of my grandfather's Tame Head and grandfather had went through several body checkup. However, his disease cannot be identified and begins worst day by day. Even though my grandfather followed the instruction of the doctors and having some medicine but he still unable to recover from the disease.

Apart from visiting doctors, my grandfather did visited sorcerer for removing the Tame Head but it failed too. My grandfather passed away after 2 months of suffering from the Tame Head. Until now, my father still cannot figure out who that give Tame Head to my grandfather. However, since it was past, then we just leaved it away because revenge would not bring any advantage to us even though we have found the Tame Head designator.

Ok, that's all for today! Thanks for reading my post. My next post will related to Feng Shui(风水) so please stay tuned for my next post. Hereby I wish you all have a nice day.
