Lock "looks" impressive superficially. Moving parts within usually give way within 5 yrs or so depending on usage, not to meantion the electronic. Not to pour cool water. Similar to water tap heads, shower heads, etc. All these years, I replaced these till my hands.. bo tahan. Steve understood. You may take time to "understand".

I'm a loyal supporter of Sovil et Titus. A pair bought in 1992, another pair in 2011. Slogan speaks for Swiss brand sold to HK. Old dogs play new tricks, for sure. Young learn from old, always. Make sure lock is "fail save" designed. Ask the supplier what I mean. All employees in Apple inc, when report to office, must pass through a passage with wall where 3 words written. Simple, simple, simple. Read Steve Jobs philosophy, very "tokong".

Your left, 7-ft tree behind the 3 chrildren, 2000.

One day return home, lock says "no entry allowed", seow liao. "high tech and complicated" - attracted many youngs. "Back to simple and easy" - when one grows older. Why like that?

Spotted a Gen-Y "worker" squatting.... 人多好办事。朝从中有人更好办事。

Here comes one. On your left. Produced in yr 2000.

We face all sorts of uncertainties which happen in the patterns of "seemed randomly", "coincidentally" and they definitely governed by laws of natures. Humanic laws govern human behaviour. To control/administer uncertainties in order to sustain predictibilty, stability....in a more orderly manner, human creates educational system enabling the youngs and the olds to be "steady" in an unsteady and fast-changing environment. So learning, skills...are important, don't depend on "luck"- the last resort-either make it or break it. I don't wish ppl "good luck", I wish "do yr best".

Investment is all about risks vs returns. -Capital -Knowledge and experience -Asset allocation concept is important in life (edu, property, car, marriage, children,insurance, cash flows,stock,etc) -Practise while young, cos higher risk tolerance. Fall, stand up again. My stands: - involve in stocl mkt, high liquidity. - property, takes time, know-how, rules, timing, location, tpt, land lease....less liquid. Borrow while young - appropriate needs and wants. - no money has health, got money no health - golden rule. Wish all a "happy" 2012. Be happy goes "lucky".

Gd sharing. - Holding joss stick equates to form of "worship"? If so, to whom u deem fit? All these "actions/worship" which can be observed by naked eyes, are superfial. Don't be bothered by human pressures(peer, relatives....)But in actual fact, we do face sure pressures. Be appreciative and kind to the loved ones, would never go wrong, same go to the "hate" ones. Big Mouth said "ppls have TVs, we don't want to have, we want to have something ppls don't have" - try read history bk, will understand what i mean. Real challenges to christians are "worshipping" somethings/situations that they're unaware of, or semi-aware and "fall in love" with, like wealth, power, control(OT, promotion, change job, start commercial business, step shoulder at work, stab back at work.......too many examples to raise). Bottom line is : Spirit need to be worshipped by spirit. Certain "actions" can bring ppl closer, do it, of course not forgetting the prime motive of doing so. We are living within different cultures, each has their long-existed norms of "patterns" of "behavioural actions" towards to and of course their "intents". We do the same "behavioural actions" but with different intents - this is the key. I experienced African christians' worshipping to God, body rolling on floor, bared footed, one foot up, one foot down jumping like certain "animal", 2 hands up keep shaking, head also shaking....so, can i conclude they are "seow", surely not. I don't roll pineapple on floor under "normal circumstances", but if a "non-beliver" invite me to his "first door opening" and invite me to roll, I will roll. I'll till Father to guide him and give my invisible blessing. I "help" my mil to burn the what paper before she believed. She shared that my daughter's "ah ma what if i don't see u in heaven, how?" arrowed directly into her heart and made her "wake up" despite our years of efforts. I give bible to people whom I deemed have "hope", before bk exchange hand, I make sure the receiver "promise" to me(or Father?)that they will read the John, Luke, Mark & Mathrew, but NEVER ask them by WHEN they must finish reading. I sow seeds on different grounds, and water it if possible, the rest leave it to HIM. Last, I keep reminding my son who is 17 this yr, be brave to face the crowd, but don't to be coward to walk into the crowd. He'll experience it one day and "recall" what I said. We give them root, not wings. We hack at root, not at branches or leaves.

Homework well done!

On the other hand, I'm asking: Do you know the reasons that cats/dogs are allowed in taxis, public eating places? Who is ignorance and should bangwall? Apply critical thinking, always.

Wow haha. I stupid leh, failed so many exam therefore grow "smarter". Reactive ppl are often affected by their physical environment. If the weather is gd, they feel gd. If it isn't, it affects the attitude and their performance. Reactive ppl are also affected by their "social weather". When ppl treat them well, they feel gd, when ppl don't, they become defensive or protective or even, aggressive. Reactive ppls build their emotional lives around the behavior of others, empowering the weakness of other ppl to control them. Reactive ppls are often driven by feelings, by circumstances, by conditions, by their environment. I guess yr pet has to see yr swinging "weather", not to mention the ppls around you, lagi not to say about the "social responsibility" of having pet. I think yr neighbours either avoid or confront u. Remember one word: "co-exist", otherwise go to the moon. Almost forget, reactive ppls' favourable phrases: - non of your business - not my business - my business huh? - mind your own business Sigh....

Seem reactive than rational, read my questions CAREFULLY AGAIN. One time, 2 time, 3 time.... You sure fail exam if you INTERPRETE subject like that.

Youngsters LIKE to JUMP the GUN. Read my questions CAREFULLY before triggering. Seek first to understand, then to be understood.

Do you know the reasons that cats/dogs are not allowed in taxis, public eating places? Pets owners carry " personal attachment" to pets, as well as "social responsibility" to general public, just like organisation's CSR. This is a growing megatrend, otherwise no sustainability for survival. Gov agencies know this very well. Most stress their their "rights" and opt not to know their responsibilities.

Obviously, FU concept "copied" from emperire system, but apply on "spiritual beings", PURELY TAOISM practice. Emperor worn yellow probe, so the FU must be in yellow color which represents "decree" from emperor, otherwise no "power". A product of "empowerment" concept in nature, like present's "court order" - definitely an humanic product out of fears to uncertainties. The "empowerment" concept originates from the West, eg letter of appointment is a form of empowerment. Fu got "big" and "small" = powerful and less powerful, depend on "who" and his "power" while "scribling" on the paper - that is what and how people perceived. ONLY Taoism practices this so-called "strokes scribling" on YELLOW-paper, fold and give to belivers, to wear, to keep, to burn into ash and drink and to paste, beliving that such strokes on paper(ontology) would keep "harmful spirits" away from human. You believe "spiritual beings" got "small" and "big"? "Answer" is yes in both cathodic & christian bible. I wore, drank and I also "scribled" for fun before. The fu were "very common" while i was young in kampong with many chinese temples where lacks of medical facilities.....so drink fu can cure?

Over same thing, yr in-law has "this" intention" while you had "that" intention, God is a spirit, He knows what is for what and which is for which. Be dare to face the crowd, and at times, walk into the crowd. He came for the "sinful" not for self-proclaimed "holy" ones. I've said more than enough.

I wore fu and drank ash of fu while young. Now I can make own choices, i don't.

FS forumers, allow me to side track. Words engraved on stone remain, but stone has broken. Alan & Mosses knew, Paul comprehened the best. Don't take note of grain of dust in brother's eye, beware of bit of wood in won eye. Jesus reminded. Don't judge, let HIM does his job. Meaningful quotes to share: - A lot of kneeling keep you in good standing. - Don't put a question mark where God put a full stop. - God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called. - A family altar can alter a family.

All "answers" to these questions, to large extend, are "symbolic" = each can interprete his/her ways or meaning, equate to "no answers", "no right or wrong". Living in an objective world, governed by "natural laws", when we throw Ong Lai/orange.salt/rice, should know its specific "meaning" or "cause" wich renders to some effects, during the process, at end or continuous thereafer.... God helps those who help themselves.

She said " Small things i decide, big things you decide, i decide what is small and big." Also said: "your is mine, mine is mine." Same?

These social behavioural performances are non-fs related, merely social "product" of some classes. These performances evolve gradually over time, from influence factors like educational level(knowledge), technology, religional practices(community historical background), global cultural influences(taking planes like bueses now, internet), etc being the major "driving forces" of such cause, resulted to this "social effect". Don't understand? - Wax candle replaced by electric bulb - autumn lantern. - Paper germany "mercedes", "BMW". Paper iphone, paper credit card (which bank?, best put DBS and POSB - you'll know what'd happen). - Roads become "water road", why not "wooden road", "fire road"....? Perhap "underpass" should be called "earth road"? These behavioual things are really "symbolic", cos ppl attached their values, experience to such and interprete. (all things are symbolic in fact). - Pineapple, pronounce (is a kind of language game in postmodernist)in some dialects like hokkien and teochiew "sound" as "prosperity come". Will roll the pineapple bring "prosperity" - a 3 yo child can tell the answer. - Salt, perceived being $ for ghosts. Give them "tips", so won't get harassed? - "Tipping" can settle thing -"a "product" of ancient culture. Now? May land in jail cell once get caught, you know.

Heavy topic, which indeed bothers quite many people. There is no right or wrong, subject to "ultimate intention" of such behaviour. God knows. This deals with a humanic community's culture, sub-culture, rituals..... When 2 different cultures meet together, they often "clash" - the ways of doing "same thing" are different. That is/was why the "westernised christinity" (actual originated from middle east)ways of doing things, beliefs, mentality, often "clash" with the "eastern" people. Jesus was with the sinfuls, not holy. Was born in....not palace. Peter went to the "non-chosen". Paul said "everything is from God", you can eat all things, but....... Once I was bothered too, now not. Take all these "things" objectively, apply objectisvism allow one to have different views. I've travelled to more than some 20 countires, I know what is called "cultural shock", apply diversity view, God in heaven know everything, don't be bothered by the "humans' view" - do what you think right. Once I "refused" to burn joss sticks and incense paper. Now, occassionally, depend on "situations", I follow the non-believers' "norms", in hope to tell them that i'm not the "outsider".

"Plant what gets what" = " Reap what one sows" = "cause and effect" -is a universal law of nature, absolutely a FS principle. Universal law never get outdated (I put wrongly in above post). Some people, including certain fsms, do not disguest its original essential meaning, but look only at its "book cover" value, "apply" "supercially" and believe "it would work" to it essential meaning, folly. No free lunch in this world. To yield intended "results" need constant exterting of efforts, time, energy, etc. To have good business/relationship/harmony/wealth/health, etc - there are no quick fix or short cut. Fenh Shui philosophy is not "outdated", it is universal, but easily get "mis-interpreted" which lead to "incorrect" methods of application, especially to those who in favour of "short cut" w/o putting in efforts.

Old and outdated philosophy belief: plant $ grows $ tree. New and updated ideology: Invest $ gets more $, or loss all $. I've tried and still trying. I "plant" $ in form of education onto children, not intended to get returns fm them. I bring them here, have to "gloom" so they can "grow" $ for themselves in time to come.
