hmmz kinda like religion. Makes sense
oh yeah .... you know the fengshui chap calculated that something bad's supposed to happen to certain member of my family this year ........ a "Jie", so to speak ......
but I'm still here ....
I told my mom that it's cos of the bearded fellow that resides down the road, that's been looking after me, and I invited her to visit him on sunday too .....

doesn't matter .... nowadays, if I need respite I'll go hide at the church for an hour or so .... that is sanctuary ....
can you convince your parents to stop paying money to the fengshui conman?

bearded fellow down the road and looking after you? Sounding a little gay.....
I used to worry alot, until one day I read a book that says, "Ask yourself, if death is the worse thing that can happen to you, than any other thing other that death is no big deal". or put it crudely, "no need to die want."
fatum, just stop thinking about this fengshui shit..
if i see that goddamned asshole conman who conned you and your family, i'd beat the living shit out of that piece of crap for your dear departed bunny ![]()

their counter arguement might be that he's paying money to the "con-church" too? Both are sort of based on faith afterall.
someone bought a lot of stuff from old old chang kee for tea! I see chicken nuggets!!! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooo

look ..... why don't you think about it in another way ... treat it as "Shrink Services Via Interior Decorating" ... then the money makes sort of sense doens't it ? ......
If it gives my folks a piece of mind, why wouldn't they happily pay it ? .... people pay Interior Decorators to shift their furniture around, make the vibes in the house better too, neh ? How are they different, really ?
And honestly, what are the harm that would come out of it ? other than the exchange for a peace of mind for a slightly depleted bank account ? I know for sure it doesn't affect the quality of your life one bit.

probably made up of people who can't get laid and are too lazy to get a real job. same as the religious police everywhere else.

and what happens when your neighbours add more stuff or re-renovate? do you have to follow suit? this will never end. the only happy people will be the fengshui conmen.

the placebo effect would wear off then, won't it ? ....
so far, the damage done is a ba gua, a pine tree, and two pails of green paint, if that makes the people in my house sleep better, or even only just make them think they do till "round two", then I say it's money well spent, neh ?
