Feng Shui For Apartment and Condo

Recently my friend and I are looking for an apartment. After reading some feng shui tips, i think it is great to share them here :)


1. Where are the sitting and facing direction for your apartment?

What to look for in the Sitting or Yin direction? Here are some tips:
-Kitchen.
-Bathrooms.
-Utility or wash rooms
-Plumbing fixtures.
-Solid baseline on the floor plan.
-Structural elements such as the foundational supports for the floor, walls and heavy
equipment.


Some of the general characteristics of the Facing or Yang direction are:
-Larger, brighter rooms and areas.
-The view is more beautiful.
-There is an address number on outside of building.
-The area is used for reception and has heavy traffic.
-Lots of natural light from windows.


2. After deciding the sitting and facing directions, now check whether the house is suitable for you or not.

There are many ways to check it, but most of the people use ming gua (命卦). There is a formula to check this.

First, check your chinese born year.



See the above table, if you were born on 1975, Feb 10. Your Chinese born year is 1974. But if were born on 1975, Feb 11. Your Chinese born year is 1975.


Male
Use 100 to minus last 2 digits of the year, then mod the number with 9.
For example: 1974 ((100-74) mod 9) = 8

Female
Use last 2 digits of the year minus 4, then mod the number with 9.
For example 1979 ((79-4) mod 9) = 3
3. Find out your number and the directions that match you.
1北宫:坎(水) - Water
2西南宫:坤(土) - Earth
3东宫:震(木) - Wood
4东南宫:巽(木) - Wood
5中宫:男坤女艮 - Male: Earth ; Female: Wood
6西北宫:乾(金) - Metal
7西宫:兑(金) - Metal
8东北宫:艮(土) - Wood
9南宫:离(火) - Fire
Number 3, 4, 1, 9 is East Life.
Good apartment directions for east life people are:
-sitting east, facing west
- sitting south east, facing north west
-sitting north, facing south
-sitting south, facing north
震宅(坐东向西)
巽宅(坐东南向西北)
坎宅(坐北向南)
离宅(坐南向北)
Number 6, 2, 5, 7, 8 is West Life
Good apartment directions for west life people are:
-sitting north west, facing south east
- sitting south west, facing north east
-sitting west, facing east
-sitting north east, facing south west
乾宅(坐西北向东南)
坤宅(坐西南向东北)
兑宅(坐西向东)
艮宅(坐东北向西南)
Sample:

Picture 1: the sunlight comes from the balcony and the living room's windows. Obviously, the balcony and living room side is facing.



Picture 2: The house is sitting at 艮 (8 or female:5), and facing 坤 (2 or male:5), sitting North East and Facing South West. This is a West Life House witch is suitables for West Life people.

How to Make Yogurt at Home



This afternoon, I made a cup of yogurt from the Marigold yogurt. To made yogurt, you need some pure yogurt that buy from grocery store, milk powder or fresh milk, hot water, a cup with cover and spoon. Make sure the cup and spoon are clean. you can use hot water to rinse them.


It is very easy, just put some milk powder (I put 3 big spoons) into a cup and some hot water, stir it until the milk powder dissolved. Alternatively, you can use fresh milk, just cook with low heat and keep stirring it until you see some bubbles coming up, then put it into a cup and close the cover.


Let it sit for 2-3 hours until you don't feel hot when you hold the cup ~50 C. Then take out the pure yogurt you bought and put 1 and a half spoon pure yogurt into the milk and stir it. After that, close the cover, and put it at warm place. For me, I put it beside my laptop, so that the heat come out from my laptop will keep it warm.


Now, you just need to wait for 8-10 hours and then enjoy your yogurt. You can mix the yogurt with different fruits you like!

Malaysia Government-Run Shelters - Nude Men Locked in the Cage Like Animals


The incident happens in Selangor, Malaysia. About 30 men bare the body, tied by the chains, locked in a cage. The environment surrounded by urine smell. The camp has about 200 people, including men, women and children. Most of these people are mentally ill and homeless.
Half of the men were locked in the cages and left naked. They are skinny and fragile.They don't even have the most basic things like bed and toilet.As for those outside the cage, they have beds to sleep, but there are no sheets or pillows. Although the treatment of those people better than the cage, they are still chained at the beds.
This incident reveals the black side of Malaysia government run shelter. It not only violates the human right and also a shame for Malaysian.
