The Year of the Fire Boar (Feb 4th 2007 onwards)

I was reading some Feng Shui books lately and realised this - The Year of the Fire Boar actually commenced from 4th Feb 07. The Lunar New Year is on the 18th Feb 07. Weird? I dun really know how these were calculated, but apparently its a one-year cycle. So the Fire Boar period is from 4th Feb 07 – 4th Feb 08.

So what’s in store for the new year? There are 9 grids in the Flying Star Chart (numbers 1 – 9 in each grid). every number represents something. It could be good, it could be bad. According to divine calculations, Houses facing Southeast, South and Southwest will be extremely good in the coming year. Houses facing Northeast, North and Northwest will not be enjoying that much luck. The 9 grid Flying Star Chart also applies to each household, each room, each office, etc. Basically, u haf to divide the room into 9 grids. The number 2 star, which represents illness, will be in the middle of the 9 grids this coming year. This means that the if we do not guard ourselves against this, then the household may fall sick easily. It is also said that this coming year will see the spreading of diseases in the world. Sigh~~ Sometimes I wonder if its good to know so much about your future? Or would you rather take it as it comes? Anyway, where there’s trouble, there will be remedy. So in the case of the illness star residing in the middle, use a Brass Wu Luo to counter this. Enuff said la… If you wanna find out more, go to the news stands or book stores to get your latest copy of the Feng Shui Magazine – Feng Shui World.

I was at Geylang this evening, buying fruits for hippo’s prayers tmr. I saw this huge lorry taking 1 and a half parking lot, so I parked right behind it, thinking it would be alright. Next thing I know, the parking warden rode his scooter and was about to gimme a ticket, when the fruit stall uncle shouted out my car plate. I had to rush to get my car out of the way, but was unable to find a lot. All these while, the stall owner was trying to help me. In the end, he offered to show me some ulu back lane where I could park. Phew… So I think I am not that bad a person afterall. Hahaha… If I m bad, I dun think the uncle will bother to alert me about the parking warden, let alone helping me get a parking space. Thanks, uncle! =D

How to break into a smile when your heart feels sad? How do you pretend to be happy when you know deep within you haf so much sorrows? How do you take the next leap forward when you know you might not reach where you wanna leap to? How? How? How now, brown cow? Moo~~~~

Oreo(s), Pringles(s) and whatever cookies…

Yep… I’ve lugged a full 3 NTUC (local supermart) bags of Oreos, Pringles and Oke cookies to the office this morning. Hmm… Preparing for war? Not quite actually. They are meant to fill up my (and some other pple who doesn’t payfor them) tummy when I get hungry while at work. Am munching a piece of Oreo now actually. Ha!

I need balance. Both in life and whatever things I do. Noticed the Oreo & Pringles combo? Sweet and salty? Hahaha… I always believed that no one can simply lived on one side of life. Or should I say no one WILL haf the luxury to always be happy in life. There are times when you will be sad (I’m pretty sure about this) and there will be times when you feel thrilled and so full of energy. Its a matter of how we managed the balance. How much Oreos? How many slices of Pringles? Occasionally I get the Lemon 1000 to “sour” myself up alittle too. Haha… But its ok.

Things ain’t that bad these days. I just need some planning to be done. Oops… My colleague jus asked me to join him at the roof top. =X If you know wat that means. Oh well… Time to distress before my work bogged me down for the rest of the day. So much for now. =)

Back from the roof top and “dived” straight in to work on some organising work in the office. My boss just told me this, “Anything more than 5 years in record, throw!” What a good guide. Hmm… I think we like to keep things and stuffs that we might not be using them. Maybe tats why most HDB flats in Singapore has a store room. After goin thru the pile of “junks” I realised half of those stuffs in there were dated like 19 “kong-kong” (1900). No la… Not that long ago la. Haha… But its a term we’ve been using quite while now. Basically trying to emphasise the point where its way too old in history. Why do these people keep them for so long a period anyway? Things have gone out-dated and alot of those stuffs we have been holding on to are no longer valid. Time to let go? Haha… Why is it that I’ve been on this topic of “letting go”? Hmm… Some things are hard to let go. Too much sentiments put in, I guess. I’m too sentimental. Too emotional. Nothing heard today from who I want to hear of. =( When will there be good news for me? =( The question should really be “Will there ever be good news for me?” Too much anxiety now. Too stressful now. Too much goin thru my head now. I dunno how I could handle all these right now actually. But I’m coping. I have to cope with changes and whatever comes. Whatever the decision, its not gonna change the price of pork, eh? Think I’ve lost some weight these past week or so. Haven’t been eating well. No mood to eat. No appetite to eat. Oh well, but we all still haf to eat right? If not how to continue the fight?! =D Let’s brave the storm!

Remember Master Yoda’s words: “Do, or do not. There is no try.” “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. And hate leads to suffering.” Only when you believe can u succeed. And only then, will u really taste success. I hope I dun succumbed to the dark side now. I think I almost did. But I’m pulling myself out of it. Come what may… The force will always be with you, Padawan Tommy…
