Suay sial

Yesterday night played soccer with Edwin's friend near Kallang. All was well, until I was blocking a shot from far.

BANG !!! Felt a pain in my feet and can no longer stand. Later found out my toe swollen.

The next day try to find the same bonesetter that healed my leg. But went there and found the bonesetter and moved elsewhere. In the end found a bonesetter from China nearby.

First he wrapped my feet in a cloth connected a current. Initally felt nothing, after close to 10mins later, the current increased till its very hot. Next, he rub some medicated oil and MAYHEM, he pulled my toe and it hurt so much, almost cried.

Paid $35 for the treatment and 3 types of medicine. The chinese medicine is so bitter YUCKS !!! No cold and sour food, sianz ...

Life's Destiny

Recently, my ex-superior Weng Fai invited me to attend a BAZI seminar.

As i was curious what is BAZI about and how it could affect me, I attended the seminar.

Apparently Weng Fai had been taking my courses to learn about reading BAZI and Palmistry.

Based on my guess, BAZI is calculated on the date and time you are born. The results derived is based on the 5 elements. Metal, Wood, Water, Fire and Earth.

Met Weng Fai 7pm at Tiong Baru MRT and headed to a room located in PSB Academy. Though it was early, the room was crowded with people.

This seminar was organized for the senior members to try their hands in reading BAZI and palmistry for guests. By paying $10, you can let as many seniors analyse for you.

First I had my sister, mum and my BAZI analysed. After calculating my BAZI they asked me these questions.

1) Do i always have stomachache?
2) Do my feet cold?
3) Do i like cold drinks?

Wah spot on leh, remember i never met such people before.


They told me i was a Earth Element, but very strong water element instead.

I need more fire to burn off the water to produce earth.

I asked them if wanna change career how. They told me to avoid water career like (IT, Logistics), but got into Fire industry (Sales, Marketing) or Earth(Property agent).

Keep myself associated with color of red. They say would be hard to find job for now and 2 more years of suffering as too much water.

Quite true, been so many interviews but did not get selected for second round or offer any appointment. Those companies went to were IT , Shipping and Logistics(closely related to Blue).

After the short analysis, there was a short refreshment. Soon after the short refreshment, the BAZI teacher gave a minor presentation. The teacher wrote some BAZI of people destined to be Fengshui master or similar aka, links to Gods. He wrote BAZIs of religious people, terrorists, loner, nurse, surgeons similar. Quite interesting from his analysis.

After the 2h presentation the event ended at 10pm. Weng Fai brought me to 1 of his seniors who was skilled in palmistry.

Just by looking at palm he can tell that I am a person who is

- very worried about the future.
- setting high goals for myself.
- Not confident.

Healthwise

-problems related to heart (Bad)
- just by looking at my finger tips can determine I had many joint injuries.

Spot on when I was young always sprained my ankle from playing soccer.


Later we chatted along the way to the MRT.

Superstitious or not, its just a guidance and advise.

20 November Wedding Dinner @ Regent

After the tea ceremony on 18 November, the wedding dinner was scheduled on 20 November at the Regent Hotel.

That evening took a taxi down and along at Raffles City area, a 4 lane road had been closed to only 2 lanes. There also so many police officers and Gurkhas due to the ASEAN Summit.

We were the first to reach despite there was a jam. Soon my eldest cousin family came. Earlier on my mum bought KFC cheese fries for the kids.



The 3 treasures enjoying the side dish before the dinner started.

Soon the rest of the relatives arrived and there was alot of catching up. We were arranged to sit with my 3rd Uncle's family and 3rd Aunt's family.

18 Nov Cousin Wedding tea ceremony

18 November was the date when my cousin i call him Ah Seng korkor would be having the traditional Chinese tea ceremony.

Apparently he had engaged with his wife for a few years and had been living together.



The handsome groom and gorgeous bride.

Seeing his elder brother getting married with 3 kids, him married and his younger brother getting married, makes me feel very old.

It was just like yesterday when they were around my age and I was still young studying primary school.

Last time no PC, PS2, Xbox, Wii, PSP, having a Super Nintendo System playing Mario on 2d graphics was godsend. Most of my toys were also given by them. Toy cars and Legos.

I think kids should play Legos and lesser electronics stuff. Lego is cheap simulate the brain o be creative. Well that was the yesteryear.



The young couple are dog lovers and during the Lunar Dog Year, they brought their dogs to bai nian. LOL!!!









More pics of my eldest cousin's treasures.
