What are the procedures to follow when entering my newly purchased resale flat? My agent was telling me to roll the pineapple from the entrance inwards to the living room and shout Huat ar and also throw salt at every room's 4 corner.

Then my wife's friend told her to mix the salt and rice and throw and the 4 corners.

Can anyone advice?

No one here knows?

Personally, i feel that the more you consult, the more procedures you will have to follow.

Previously, after i've taken possession of my flat, i have also consulted a few others.

Each person mention 1 step, i ended up doing so many...

To the extent that i went to temple and get the 'red flower' leaves to use for sprinkling of water, together with the concoction of salt + rice.

I've also burnt incense at all corners, so as to 'smoke cleanse' the house. Heard it is 'useful' esp if the house has been left vacant for quite some time, i.e. IF the previous owner has long ago moved out of the house before the new take over.

Juz to give some examples, of what you can expect.

Some of my friends who did nothing, and also 'Heng Heng' staying in the house Happily.

To each his own...

Friend,

Googling helps...

Anyway, here are the steps I follow

i am a chinese and don't mind following.

my husband is not into it and he has the final say (cos he head of the household), so i cannot go against him if not, no nothing already bad vibes.

interesting, MIL also not a strong believer and they already moved house like 3-4 times, profitting from every move.

so anyone here, NOT doing it?
