Feng Shui in office
Just shifted to a new dept & man! the feng shui there is really not good. For starters, my back is not against a wall (much like the picture (sourced from wofs.com)) & I am seated in a place that is somewhat a walkway to the ladies. Couldn't do much except to place my amethyst goede, dragon tortise, my guiding ox and rat. hopefully it'll help in the bad position that i currently have.
Since i put up the feng shui items, i feel better. Been also giving the area some yang energy by switching on the lights overlooking my desk (something i never did in my earlier location).
However, had some of my earlier feng shui items missing from the shift. Very unusual as I made sure I had everything nicely packed and accounted for when I shifted. will really miss my little tree and my crystal formation...feel like a connection of me is missing somewhat. :P
Whilst doing some online surfing, saw that there's an old flower shaped coin that i got at the flea mkt for abt a dollar that's actually called "The Plum Blossom Coin". According to www.wofs.com, the coin brings longevity and happiness. On the reverse side, it carries the 5 auspicious symbols - the Bat (for happiness and good fortune), Deer (For a long, carefree life), Peach (For good health and a harmonious marriage), Magpie (For good news and celebrations) and the Ingot (For wealth and prosperity). how's that for a buck yah? :) this certainly made my day!!!
here's a picture (sourced from wofs.com):

Paperback "The hidden messages in water" by Dr. Masaru Emoto
I was frankly about to lie down for the nite but I remembered that i just saw this GREAT book at times book shop yesterday that totally blew me away with its revelations....it's a book by Dr. Masaru Emoto called "the hidden messages in water".
This is a brief from http://www.amazon.com/ "This book has the potential to profoundly transform your world view. Using high-speed photography, Dr. Masaru Emoto discovered that crystals formed in frozen water reveal changes when specific, concentrated thoughts are directed toward them. He found that water from clear springs and water that has been exposed to loving words shows brilliant, complex, and colorful snowflake patterns. In contrast, polluted water, or water exposed to negative thoughts, forms incomplete, asymmetrical patterns with dull colors. The implications of this research create a new awareness of how we can positively impact the earth and our personal health. "
The images within that book were simply amazing. the crystals that formed naturally when given good thoughts like peace (in any language BTW) and those non-crystals that formed when the water is exposed to words like "you fool" or even "satan" were simply have to be seen to believe. would love to get that book only if it comes with just illustrations like a coffee book. am hopeful that this book "messages of the water" will make its way to someone who uses offensive words, expresses hurtful thoughts or simply lives in a negative way to reflect his/her words, thoughts and deeds.
HIGHLY recommended for an enlightening read! link to an artilce in nbc website: http://www.nbc10.com/news/5455548/detail.html# and photo courtesy from that website as well....think about it....

Going to the zoo & photography
Going to the zoo happens to be a almost weekly affair for me & my 2 kids in tow. Why? I don't know.... used to really wonder myself to death on that question but am happy that my kids like the outdoors unlike many Spore kids.
I do hope that they will grow to love the animals that occupy the same space as us on the earth - high ideals from a simple affair but hey! I am allowed to dream right?
cos the world do need more lovers than destroyers at the rate animals are dying...please support wwf if you can as a lil will go a long way for those animals.
I have been finding my own lil "sanctuary" in our weekly trips by taking in the space, air & at times taking shots (i.e. photography). There're rare moments that only a picture can communicate. I took this nice photo the other day at the 'Fragile Forest' which made my day. It still brings a smile to my face & has its pride of place in my comp wallpaper.

Tarot cards reading
Tarot Card reading - one of the unexplained things I like to try when things get tough or unexplainable. I know it may sound quite "out-of-this-world" when you think about it but hey! I find solace in getting my readings done.
I first encountered my trusty card reader, Renee Chan back in 2002. She was doing one of the programmes that 1929 Hotel invited for their launch party. At that time, I was undergoing some internal unexplained tension - the free reading was fast but in that 5-10mins, she was able to help me understand what I going through.
Before I went for the reading, I was confused, irritated and unsure of my path in life. After the reading, the feeling of uncertainty, confusion was all gone. She spoke to me much like what I was thinking I was trying to tell myself -I think I was just too preoccupied to listen to that inner voice of mine.
For someone who works with words day in day out, I was speechless when Renee, using the tarot cards, spoke to me about my inner thoughts and direction that I was pointing to myself. I can't really describe it except that I felt as if my fears/burdens were lifted & I was able to see things more clearly after the reading.
From then onwards, I have seen Renee around 2-3 times since - both for a yearly reading and when I feel that I can't hear myself anymore. Her advice has helped me to be calmer but her insights using numerology has also made me understand myself better. Recommended Renee's services to my friends & they are all glad to have seen her.
Kudos to her for doing such a great job at calming my nerves and relieving the stress for me!
She has a website & provides personal consultations.

Penchant for Feng Shui items
The study of Feng Shui is a recent penchant.... Lilian Too's a good beginner & insightful educator. Kang Li @ FuLuShou is my fav haunt when I want some good luck coming my way :) Got some wonderful education from another fav info cum shopping boutique on what to do with your feng shui purchases as well!
There's antidotes for everything under the sun! Used to be a non-believer and treat it all as "hocus-pocus" but something happened last year. I got into a bad state & things got better after I got my 1st crystal at Kang Li. Guess perceptions do change as one gets older.... LOL
Would definately want to travel the world using one of these crystal globes as my guide!
Love the World of Feng Shui magazine (it has a store too!!!) cos it's soooo easy to digest for absolute clueless me :) Looked at the feng_shui_times_forum & man! it's loaded with info about flying stars, eight mansions & more stuff that I hve no clue about!
Will definately share more as time to come as my knowledge of this ancient art evolves!
Feng Shui Tip of The Day!! (sourced from WOF.com)
"Do not sit facing the Grand Duke Jupiter as it brings the bad luck of failure and obstacles."

My BabyGem
Life's been busy as u can see from the date of my last posting *LOL* Thanks to my long-time friend and fellow blogger, L that I am updating.
As promised, my other avenue for releasing stress - my lovely watches under my brand name "BabyGem" - I've got some pics taken at a fair I did recently at Orchard Hotel. It was fun showcasing my "gems" at the fair :) Got a fair bit of lovely comments from the people at the fair.
My idea for "Babygem" came up around the same time as I am having my child. As all women, jewellery is never enough :) So I came up with the idea that my pieces will not only hve a beautiful "oh-look-at-my-wrist" look but also a functional purpose as well.
I take my time to make each watch as I believe each of them should have a character/something about them that speaks about the owner or the person you are giving the item to.
My babygem blog has more info on each of the items.

my feeble attempts to a blogger's world
To create or not to create a blog - as in all matters, I take in the pros and cons in my head before finally taking the BIG step to the big unknown.... me wonder if anyone's going to read my blog and if so, who's going to read my thoughts (in Latin, meus sensa) & worse of all, my dreams?
Of course my 1st thoughts *argh* is "what the hell I am going to say?" After a good long 5 mins of research, I gather almost everything can be said & done since it's MY blog just so long as I am careful...ever the careful one am I. So here's to a slowwwww start of my journey of blogging....

Stress marks the day & is here to stay 4 today
Stress will go away; Only to come another day
Stress from work mainly arise from feeble attempts at intelligence by others.
To work off stress, I create my watches (will get some nice pics across in next post), talk to my Special SomeOne (SSO) but I can now blog & blah all I want - just so long no harm's done :)
Another stress release is to re-visit my last vacation pics in Bali :) Very pleased with this partic pic as even when I am not there physically, I can smell the air of tranquility..... ahh... feeling better already......
this was definately a picture perfect moment....complete with a yoga practitioner at the poolside. Not one of the seaside resorts that my SSO likes to frequent but definately worth the 1.5 hrs from the airport.
website: http://www.alilahotels.com/Ubud/
Looking forward to another visit there again cos the pool warrants a 2nd visit cos it's not voted as one of the top 50 pools in the world for nothing!
