<![CDATA[RWS spooked on P. Blakang Mati?]]>Not very auspicious start for RWS on Sentosa leh…


Within a space of < 2 weeks:

. Rained cat n dogs on opening day.

. Star attraction Battlestar Galactica broke down last week n still couldn’t fly

. ‘Sex bomb’ Tom Jones bombed out last Friday n couldn’t sing

On top of these, naked PRC FT found drowned in private pool at 1*0 Sentosa Cove.

Bad feng shui on island formerly known as P. Blakang Mati?

All i can say is that they are not very shy about winning pp's money.
The casino IS a pre-requisite for the IR's existence.
The revenue from USS itself cannot sustain RWS.

MMM:

Think I read somewhere on the RWS fengshui used. But I can't really remember what it stands for. I can only remember the elephant with long skinny legs as well as Hall of treasures down the escalator. Those have fengshui meanings.


I heard that on radio. Elephant for stability. Long skinny legs to pin down the gamblers so they cannot escape.

Sounds like a money trap.
In the long run, the House ALWAYS wins.
Probability at work, pure n simple.

Hi Way2go, these are all giving me goosebumps, especially the post above mine! :faint: And more so because I just watched the Exorcist and The Omen yesterday and day before yesterday! :faint: :yikes:
My boy...remember this well:
Fear arises from within one's mind.
Learn to control that,
and the fear itself dissipates.

way2go, P. Blakang Mati means Go back to die isit?

u not cursing me are u? 😓

Andaiz answered your question.
Andaiz:

Actually it's Island (pulau) of Death (mati) from Behind (blakang). The historian who showed us around the Labrador Park told us that this is because of the history of pirates in the area. They (pirates) disposed of the bodies on the island...
It is one of a few stories as to the origin of its name,
all related to death.

Blakang Mati? on Tue, 30 Mar 2010 04:20:13 GMT]]>I feel that fengshui is quite subjective. I recalled that when the fengshui master just saw the drawings of the Marina sands, they said it resembles the ancestral tablet.


Then recently, some fengshui masters came out to say that it stands for fu lu shou. :?

Now, I am very curious what type of fengshui the Marina one would use. 😄


RWS is more asian context given that it started from Msia. Genting highlands casino and those hotels are also full of fengshui meanings.

However for Marina, it is run by the angmohs? So I wonder if they will be equally fenghsui driven.

No lah, I think media got fengshui masters to decode. Who in the right frame of mind will say come, I want to fleece you?

This is a very good movie about top MIT students gambling in casino, making use of their intelligence and mathematics ways. The morale is good too.

I saw that elephant with long skinny legs. What does it mean?
If not for the smoothing nature music, I really have the feeling of going down to hell, not hall. LOL !!!! 😄

daisyt, your description is more effective than any of those anti-gambling ads that we have been bombarded with for the last 12 months.

Oh really!!??? :oops: Thanks
I believe, all casinos are full of fengshui and in order for one to win, I guess, the person's fate must be very strong to overcome all these fengshui. But majority of us cannot be stronger than them lah.

If anyone happen to go there, observe carefully. Before you even enter in the casino, there are so many fengshui stuffs already. Hahaha ... I haven mentioned the look like tiger teeth structure. 😄

While in the express train, overhead an auntie lost $400. Wah, that can be 4 weeks grocery money!!! :!: I would feel so heart ache :oops:

How many of u have gone to e casino at sentosa? I went there jalan jalan, roaming outside e festive walk n shopping mall. Decided to roam around the entrance of casino. To get to the entrance, one has to take two levels of escalators. The surrounding of the escalators with very dim lights, huge panel if mirrors on both walls n ceiling, surrounded by music of nature. Somehow, hubby had a very strange feeling going dwn e escalators. Its like e way to hell. After looking around, i was looking at e brochure n realised the two down escalators have a name - Hall of Treasures. And somehow i read it as Hell of Treasures!!! Freak out!!



The next day, i was not well the whole day n after that, my hubby's turn. Lucky dd was fine ... (touch wood).

There was a couple statue at e entrance to the centre of RW. Fat & fully naked bronze couple statue. My mum was telling us, it means shu(1) guang(1) guang(1)!!! 😄

Maybe I too superstitious 😄 :roll:

Do you think this should be added to the Rated for S, Scary... list. :siam: :scared: :yikes:


Hi Muffins,
Don't think so.
Sentosa has a bit of history behind it
The old name \" P. Blakang Mati\" doesn't exactly give out positive vibes.
Could be coincidences,
or purely statistical occurrences.

Just RWS/USS's bad luck so many negative things happened
since opening within a short two weeks.

Another [Sook Ching massacre] site was Berhala Reping at Sentosa Beach (now Serapong Golf Course after land reclamation). Surrendered British gunners awaiting Japanese internment buried some 300 bullet-ridden corpses washed up on the shore of Sentosa. They were civilians who were transported from the docks at Tanjong Pagar to be killed at sea nearby.

On our previous trips to Sentosa, I've never liked staying past sunset. In case you've not noticed, the majority of the drowning victims at the beaches or hotel pools are Japanese. Guess the spirits of the WWII dead are still restless. Dunno if SDC or Resorts World did a proper and thorough job of guiding them on to the realm they belong to.

Oh dear, makes me shudder to think about the safety issue! :scared:
Yes, wonder if they did rush into things by opening the USS? :?

Still
better be safe than sorry
But if this continues, USS will soon acquire a bad reputation
Not good at all.

That's what I mean. They should have tested, checked, tested again before opening the USS. Definitely not a good sign to have a soft opening, only to close certain rides/attractions within a week of soft opening.

Yes, this opening and shutting down of rides/attraction is definitely not good for our reputation, first IR somemore! Bet Marina Sands is learning from their bad experience!
