新加坡阻斷措施 - 第九天
SIINGAPORE CIRCUIT BREAKER DAY #9
去年搬家時,我特別在新家挪出間房間給老公做他的辦公房間。
男人是一家之主。
在家裡,以風水為男主人鞏固他在職場上的權威、賺錢能力和在家的地位,對我而言是非常重要的。我看風水時,也曾經為一些男客人這樣做過。
以前我們和他父母一起住時,他只能用餐桌辦公。
他是一個喜歡安靜的人。
晚上在客廳辦公,電視的聲音、小狗的吠聲、姪兒姪女的哭鬧或玩鬧聲,常常讓他心情欠佳,工作效率不好。
於是去年三月的某一天,我斷然地告訴他:「我們在月底搬!」
他很驚訝,問我為什麼那麼突然。
直覺。是時候走出去了。
我不走回頭路,說搬就真的在四月時搬,連我家翁家婆都嚇到。
選家、看風水、買傢俱、搬家,全在四個星期內搞定。
人嘛,做決定就做決定,沒什麼好婆媽的。
和看風水批八字一樣,要快、狠、準。
家翁家婆的家並沒有規劃的很好。現在因為疫情要在家辦公,如果還住在那兒,八個人+一條愛吠的狗,如何一起生活也是個大問題。
看回一年前的決定,我自己也佩服我當時的果斷。
他搬到新家後,很明顯比以前開心。
他說因為我開心,他也開心。我因為看到他開心,我也開心。😄
現在在家工作,他每天早上沖涼後,就會鑽進他的書房。幾個小時後才會看到他。
我看得出他有屬於自己的工作間,他很愜意。他從小到大,在家從來沒有自己一個做事的地方。
昨天有位師姐說,我做Youtube影片很快,很認真。
其中一個原因是我家沒什麼消閒區,沒有電視機,也沒有沙發,省錢又省位。
我們都不看電視,所以我在客廳工作,空間寬闊,師父佈的風水也增加了我的效率和靈感充沛。
人,太多娛樂選擇,難免會分心。
我很清楚我要什麼,所以其他有的沒的,我都可以不要,好早日達到目標。
老公能夠在書房,做他的工作與視訊。我也能夠在我的書桌辦公、線上為客人批八字、看風水等。大家都不會打擾到彼此,開心地工作,開心地生活。
家和萬事興,和氣才能生財。
住了一年,我收入增加了三倍,目前也沒有因為疫情而下降。
上星期,有位客人叫我不要老是挖苦我的老公,雖然很可愛。
我笑著告訴老公:「你看,我在臉書把你的形象塑造的多好,讓我的女客人都替你不值啊!」
我在他的書房內外,做了好一些風水上的調整,是他不知道的。我沒告訴他。
好的居家風水,本來就該不露痕跡,讓進來的人感覺到很舒服,流連忘返,不知道為何卻又享受滋潤著自己身心的磁場。
我們本來就不常吵架,搬來這裡後,更少吵架。
有飛在半空中的蟑螂時,他負責喊,我負責抓。
有壁虎溜來溜去時,我負責喊,他負責抓。
我們真的是絕配啊~
_____________________________
When we moved house last year, I specially allocated a room to be the husband’s work room.
A man is the head of the household.
To me, it is very crucial to use Feng Shui to strengthen the man’s authority at work, money-making abilities and his status at home. During my Feng Shui audits, I have done the same for some of my male clients.
We used to stay with his parents and at that time, he could only use the dining table to do work.
He is a man who likes quietness.
When he worked at home in the night, the noises from the TV, the incessantly barking poodle, the cries from his niece and nephew or their playing would often leave him in a bad mood and lower his productivity.
Hence in March last year, I made up my mind and flatly told him, “We will move out at end of the month.”
He was caught by surprise and asked why my sudden decision.
Instinct. It was time to walk out.
I do not leave a way back once I make a decision.
When I said I would move in April, I kept to my words, giving my in-laws a shock as well.
Choosing the house, getting Shifu to audit the Feng Shui, buying furniture, moving house, these were all done in a matter of four weeks.
To me, when a decision needs to be made, it has to be made swiftly. There’s no need to be wishy washy.
Just like doing Feng Shui audits and analysing Bazi, I must be fast, firm and accurate.
My in-laws’ home was not very well-planned. If we are still staying there, given the current work-from-home situation due to Covid-19, it would be a real headache to accommodate eight persons and one barking dog.
Honestly speaking, looking back at my decision one year ago, I am also impressed by my own decisiveness at that time.
The husband is obviously much happier after our house move.
He says he is happy because I am happy. Well, I am happy because he is happy. 😄
Now that we work from home, every morning after his bath, he would hole up in his home office room for a few hours before I would see him.
I can tell that he is very pleased and satisfied at having his own work space. During his childhood, he had never have a space that he could work at.
Yesterday, a Dharma sister told me that I was very quick and serious in producing my Youtube videos
One of the reasons is that my home doesn’t really have any recreational area. We have no TV or sofa, since we don’t watch TV. That saves us money and space.
I work in my living room which is spacious and the Feng Shui set-up done by my Shifu increases my productivity and boost my inspiration.
When humans have many entertainment choices, we are bound to get distracted.
I am very clear on what I want. I can do without all other unnecessary things so as to reach my goals faster and earlier.
Now the husband can do his work and video calls in his home office. I can do my own work and online Bazi/Feng Shui consultations at my own desk. We do not disturb each other, as we work and live happily in harmony.
A harmonious family breeds prosperity.
After living here for one year, my income has increased three folds and currently, there is no plunge due to the epidemic.
Last week, a client told me not to poke fun at my husband although it was cute.
I laughingly told the husband, “See, I have created such a great image of you on my Facebook that even my female client feels bad for you!”
I did several Feng Shui adjustments to his work room, both inside and outside. He was not aware of them. I did not tell him about it.
Good home Feng Shui should not be easily detectable to the untrained eye. Once people step inside the home, they will feel cosy and linger longer without knowing why, yet enjoying the energies that nourishes their bodies and minds.
We do not fight often and upon moving here, we quarrel even less.
If there is a cockroach flying in the air, he will be in charge of screaming while I am in charge of catching the pest.
If there is a lizard taking a stroll in our home, I take over the screaming while he takes charge of catching it.
I say we really do make a perfect match for each other, right? Right.

【加減乘除的人生】
I have been very broke and very broken before.
(60 cents in bank, hello!)
In those dreadful days of brokenness, I spent countless long nights binge watching Youtube and blog surfing. From midnight all the way to dawn.
I lamented at how many other people are more successful, eloquent, smarter and better-looking than me.
Influencers, bloggers, content creators, Youtubers...
The more I watched and read, the more broken and stupid I felt.
My failed businesses have knocked the wind out of me and I lost the confidence to be a Feng Shui practitioner, despite Shifu and my husband egging me on.
I assumed I would suck at it, just like how I failed at everything else.
I hid for a very long long time in my eggshell, refusing to tell people that I know Metaphysics or the Dharma to help them with their life problems.
I can't even help myself. How am I qualified to help them?
Fast forward 5 years later, I am blessed with a growing audience through my writing and FB Livestreams.
That I am able to monetise what I have been learning for the past 11 years and changing people's lives, one Bazi at a time.
What's more astonishing was I self-taught myself into doing up videos on the topics that matter most to my heart.
Watching YouTube make my dreams come true. #yesmumthatstrue
You may have read that I produced a Vesak Day video, a Mothers' Day video, a Summer Health Guide and a Father's Day video for Shifu in the last 2 months. Their combined total views are over 3000.
It felt bittersweet to hear from my husband he liked my videos.
You see, years ago, when I was crippled by my business, I asked the Husband if his company needed a marketing person for their social media.
I thought they could do better in their FB marketing and gave him a lot of ideas.
The husband brushed me off, saying that his boss was unlikely to have the budget to take me in. I tried bargaining for just $200/mth for trial. But was turned down flat. #stingy
I was forced to come out and do something on my own. #女人當自強
Life feels like a Ferris wheel of deja vu sometimes.
2001. My first attempt in doing videos started in NUS Buddhist Society. I was sought to be the Vice-Chairperson in the Freshmen Orientation Camp committee. At that time, my mum bought a Sony camcorder and somehow we came up with the idea of doing a video, introducing Buddhism to the freshies, modelled after the 城人雜誌 variety show.
We went to a few temples in Singapore, of Tibetan, Mahayana and Theravada linages, showcasing the difference in various styles of prostration and offerings. My Chairman Vincent Kwan and another Comm. member starred in the video, while I did the voiceover and shooting.
I had to beg my Bizad friend who was a whiz in IT stuff, to help me edit. I parked like an owl at his home for several nights till after midnight.
Despite all the efforts we put in, the video wasn't well-received by the freshies. They felt Buddhism is one complicated maze after watching it. But the seniors liked it.
I learnt the importance of understanding my target market and perceived customisation.
Not that I understood that better when I did businesses.
I only got it after I became a Feng Shui practitioner and marketing online for a year through more trial and error.
Before the few videos I did this year, I had produced videos for Shifu a few years back. They received generally good response on his budding FB page. Despite being very low key, he has major underground Peach Blossom Luck and much goodwill among his clientele after all.
But nothing like these recent videos that get shared 11-13 times, with reach over 500-600% of the page's fan base.
I don't know what clicked inside me this year, to be able to produce videos that people like.
To be able to do FB Lives that get shared, reacted and commented, and be told that I'm natural on screen, when I used to have onscreen fright.
Feels like Disney magic at work, doesn't it? (Okay, I admit I used Feng Shui.)
I look back and discover life is a game of arithmetic.
My story-telling competitions in primary school.
A librarian in secondary school.
My leadership roles in JC and NUS.
My key role in project presentations in Uni.
Door-to-door and telephone surveys.
A barista in Coffee Bean.
Modelling for Carrie's.
A banquet waitress at Royal Scotts (where the fish head flew onto the table, sauce and fish eyeballs and all, as I was cutting up the fish)
Tutoring children.
Meeting tens of thousands of passengers in SQ.
Being the merchandiser, photographer and graphics designer for my failed blogshop business.
Tagging along the generous and strict Shifu, who taught me for free all these 11 years.
Knowing Sam Choo and Tavia Wong, in 2015 July, opened up my eyes to the IM world and learnt branding + FB marketing knowledge that my NUS professors miss out.
The rejections, the failures...
Take out any one of these, and I would lose that courage, gungho-ness, eloquence, marketability and skilfulness in handling people and trying new things, that you see now.
I sometimes see clients who lament about their less-than-desirable family backgrounds.
Or their companies who do not give them the pay and environment they crave.
Or their partners who always hold them back.
They tell me their dreams and ask me what they can do.
I would eagerly tell them their favourable elements and industries to work in.
Over time, I observed clients can know how to use their favourable elements, and yet have massively different results.
The difference lies not just in their attitude towards life, but what skills they have amassed over the years.
People have dreams, but few make serious effort to gain a skill that will push them an inch closer to their aspirations.
Or they get so caught up in life's dramas that they forgot they can.
I have seen too many clients resigned to tough life. Especially those with children.
It's like they have bid farewell to Life, before they even get near the coffin. #趕去投胎嗎
My Bazi indicated that I would be doing what I studied as a career.
I was telling Shifu, strange that I wasn't.
He told me, I was. With all the heavy duty articles I post on FB, the copywriting I learnt, landing pages, 50 over FB Livestreams, 11 workshops, I am marketing Chinese Metaphysics and Dharma.
Derrick, my web designer, remarked that he had never seen a geomancer who does marketing online the way I did. Very different from what he had seen.
I realised they are right. I am very marketing-slanted in the way I do things. NUS Bizad will be so proud of this alumni.
On my down days, I would think it is too late for me to be doing all these when I'm hitting 40.
On my up days like today, I would think if not now, when?
The more you practice, the more polished you get at doing something.
You have seen me at my most amateurish on FB, writing and doing Livestreams.
I hope it had inspired you in one way or another. If not for the better, at least don't make the same mistakes I did. Make better ones. 😄
If you wish to join me on my journey, as I take my baby step into Youtube, you can subscribe to me at:
https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCweF0iGnkE2kxMlMDcDvnqA
There is only one video uploaded so far. No channel art. No fancy words. No custom URL as I would need 100 subs before I qualify.
That 4-minute video was my very first video on Chinese Metaphysics and got me over 1459 views on Facebook, since 2016 June.
I only have 350+ friends now. Does that mean each of you watch it thrice? 😍
I will gradually edit my FB videos, throw in the subtitles, and upload them on Youtube. It won't be monetised so that next time, you can binge watch my videos with no interruption.
While I have a couple of videos in the pipeline, I do not have concrete plans what I wish to do for my Youtube channel.
But life is a game of arithmetic. As long as I am moving in my favourable direction, I am going to grow into a health stocky broccoli. Non-GMO.
Stay with me, my friend. Let's see how high we can soar together.

Hello Youtube Family,
Today’s Vlog:
The Man Flu Theory,
WE GOT THE KEYS!
Meet Arnold,
Impersonation Game
It's been an amazing week indeed. We were blessed to get two major sets of keys in one day: one for our new home and one for our new car. The house still needs flooring and furniture but it sure feels good to know we have our very own place to call home. Here comes the fun part, DECORATING wohooo! Hopefully we can move in in the next few weeks ^_~ We've been busy sorting out bits and bobs here and there everyday but it's all been such a blessed opportunity.
Tim and Isaac are finally healing from the flu too. I believe I am more happy than they are. It really does seem that males get it worse. Apparently they don't have the oestrogen women have to help body heal faster. What's your thoughts?
It's been so fun hanging with my little brother again. He'll be uploading lots of vlogs to come so be sure to subscribe to his channel: http://www.youtube.com/rikehtube
