        I do not believe in fortune telling nor do I want to believe.


        I think ‘cherry blossoms luck’ or ‘cherry blossoms’ are not very good to have.

        Still, I have heard of some people who have this kind of ‘hard luck’ and it goes across 2-3 generations!

        man only can have 1 wife, wife can only have 1 husband

        better pray to the maker to give you a good one

        no point looking at the grass outside and you neglect your own lawn

          Interesting, waiting to learn more. I am not one who believe in fengshui or fortune telling but it is always interesting to read or hear about it.


          I remember quite some time back Insider shared about how everyone is born in this world with a bucket of wealth. Each one a different size. You will not be able to accumulate wealth beyond the size of the bucket. So either you spend the excess yourself or it will somehow be spent for you. At least that was what I understood from what she shared.

          At that time, I had a staff who was going through a lot of issues personally. She was lamenting about how each time she managed to save up some money, something will happen that will empty her bank account. I told her about what Insider shared and we kinda mused over it. But another similar incident happened when she received her bonus. We both looked at each other and I told her the next time you get excess cash, put it in your son’s account. She has been doing that since. Maintaining only the amount that is comfortable for her daily needs and the rest, buy insurance or put them in her son’s account.

          Haha. Still find it interesting.

            a friend told me about the bucket of wealth thingy also, and shared with me her computations on some people we knew…sounds convincing. But so far, I’ve never asked her to calculate for me/my kids. I think I rather die not knowing, than sit and fret if my bucket is too small or too holey.


            Thanks insider for coming back and sharing this with us. I’m also reflecting on some of the pointers.

              Haha, Funz and Hquek joining in the fun. Welcome!


              Wow Funz still can remember some of my ‘Money Bowl Theory’!

              Actually whether the bucket is big or small doesnt really matter much. For someone with a smaller bucket, it may mean that that someone knows how to spend his/her money and enjoying life (if his/her bucket is destined to be a small one to begin with, then no point trying to accumulate wealth).

              For someone with a big bucket, that someone may have to keep working and working (and the bank number will be keep going up and up coz the bucket is big enough!) and perhaps hold the money too tightly and dont know how to spend = poor life coz what is the point of having money but dont spend it = 皇帝命、乞丐身. I have seen enough this kind of rich but ‘one hair also cannot pluck’ people. heeheehee…

              OK, CNY is a good time to talk about Money but now I going back to my Cherry Blossom first…

              ---------------------------

              My key objective of looking into niece’s Life Plate is to ascertain her main star. I am hoping to see a more stable star, such as mine which is a very stable one. If she has a stable star, then I will have a higher chance of changing her first and then use her to change her mum.

              Now, I landed myself with two Super 桃花 stars and I went into deep emmm…. moments.

              Other than the 桃花 characteristics of her two main stars, some of her character traits include:

              -\tstubborn
              -\tconceited
              -\tdifficult o satisfy
              -\tuses heart more than brain to make decision

              (for those who can read Chinese: 廉贞是一颗欲望强烈、死心眼的星曜,不太重视理性,却非常重感情,只是他的情感多半都埋藏在内心深处,只有累积到一定程度才会爆发……)

              Above just a small part of her overall character.

              So, above traits = I don’t have a high chance of success rate of working with her and that means I have to think of how to work on my sister. Usually it is easier to work with adults than with child as adults are supposed to be more stable and more matured than child, but well, we all know how some adults can be (that can be more childish than children at times!)

              I went to look at her Spouse Field. It shows her spouse will be someone who is hot-tempered, an MCP.

              She runs a high chance of marrying young and she is likely to divorce.

              All these set me sitting up straight to think how to help her. I see all the cause and effect linked among my sister, my niece, my niece’s future family (niece’s kids incl), etc, that if no one bothers to try to change something, it will become a vicious cycle that many will suffer.

              To be continued… (the ‘architecture’ of my rescue plan. Pls bear with me for the small parts coz it is not easy to piece things together so that the picture can be clearer for readers to understand more completely.)

                :offtopic:
                What if putting into sons' accounts oso doesn't work? meaning after a while, something happens and the money has to be withdrawn from sons' accounts to \"save\" the situation?

                Any methods to \"keep the money safe\"? :scratchhead:

                  Intrigued by insiders description of reading stars. Can you teach us how to analyse our own star or any books/website we should read?

                    hi insider,


                    I’m reading a book by Taiwanese educator 李崇建 who practises Virginia Satir’s methodologies. I’m not in much position to expound on what they say but basically it’s about what we see being an expression of what’s really deep inside and how family/past experience shape (or maybe scar) us (ice berg theory).

                    Seems a bit close to what you are saying about your niece and how her past experience is affecting her.

                    I shall await eagerly for your next instalment (all the while hoping that all will turn out well for your niece and your sis).
