Tips about engaging a Bazi Practitioner

(Disclaimer: I'm not a practitioner nor expert in any ways. I'm just sharing my point of view in this subject.)

Bazi

It's an ancient Chinese art to understand oneself using birth chart reading with symbols of nature namely Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood aka the 5 elements.

Everyone is born in blocks of 2 hours thus having 12 different timing in 24 hours. Since there are ying and yang, the element also splits into example, ying fire and yang fire. There are 12 months in 365 days creating 4 seasons represented by 5 elements thus we have 60 pillars in combinations.

Our birth chart is presented in 4 pillars in the hour, day, month and year.

I'm not going to write every detail of it because it would be impossible. I would just like to express my thoughts in this subject.

Many people engaged a Bazi reading practitioner to read their fortune and seek advice. Nothing is wrong with that but understanding what to expect is important. A practitioner (in my context) can only predict your luck to a certain extent. There is no practitioner that can tell you for sure that at a certain timing in detail what you are going to encounter. That's simply not possible. Do you know on a day within a 2 hours period how many babies are born? Are they all going to be knock down by a car at the same time? NO...

A Singaporean heart felt about FTs

The increasing feuds between Singaporean and the foreign talents that we can almost see daily on our Facebook timeline; like the recent case of TTSH dismissed its employee Mr Ello Ed Mundsel Bello for being rude on the comments he posted on his Facebook. It just causes more hatred for either nationality.

The indisputable truth is that our forefathers "invaded" this peaceful Malay village back in the 1830s when Singapore became the capital of British Traits Settlements. Although the Chinese came way before this time, the British found only about 150 people on the island and only 30 are Chinese fishermen.

So it is just a Deja vu happening over again. We came to this little Malay village and FT came to our country which happens to be the same place at a different era. The problem is that this place had not doubled its size but just merely increases from 1960s 581.5 sq.km to 723.2 sq.km today. The population scored much better with 1.7 million in the 60s to 5.4 million today. 

The other things need to mention is that the Chinese came as traders and many ended in small time business owners providing all kinds of services to the communities. That is where we have our title of food paradise in Asia. 

The objectives of Company's Annual Dinner

It is about the time of the year again. Companies are hosting their yearly event to celebrate the successful year that pass and the promising year ahead. As an employee that worked in several companies, I noticed differences in styles and beliefs.

I personally enjoyed this yearly event and eagerly anticipated for the lucky draws. I ever won $400 Takashimaya vouchers, electronics, hampers, etc. All these are history, not every company perceived it in the same manner. It is all about objectives.

What do you think the objectives should be to host such an event?

Some think that it is the time to give thanks to the customers. The company enjoyed a successful year and use this event to show appreciation for the business opportunities.

Some are opportunist and viewed it as a business itself. They send out invitations and rushing to get headcount confirmations. Just as suppliers and business partners confirmed attendance, second wave of sponsorship request are sent out. The event budget will be determined by the sponsorship collection. Of course there must be a profit in it. How can that be? You mean you didn't come across companies that request only cash sponsorship and give some reason such as uniformity?

Many companies (fortunately) uses this event to throw a party for its employees. They believe that it is time to make the employees feel important for been part of the company. It is the time managers praises and organize surprises for their teams. It is time the higher management humble themselves and show recognition for the workforce's efforts. During this event, the director's speech (if done correctly) can uplift the spirit for the coming year.
