Chill

Was at Bernard's house today for a visit.

Since I met him, I realised, I've hit a playloop button.

"You guys have to drop by my home one day and.... you know.... .chill out"

I always find understanding what he say like breaking down a whacky riddle. There is a lack of clarity in this voice. As if he always have a muffler on. Maybe it has to do with the lack of confidence of rat zodiacs...

It turned out that his house has a tropical theme and very cosy ambience to match.

Its obvoiusly clear that the house emits earth energy from the undeniable square it seems to mould from. *Quick feng shui fact. According to feng shui, a square shaped house is earth energy based.

He lives in a cube! Clearly earth element base! It cannot be more obvious...

His swimming pool is just on the front left of his maindoor. (I hope theres a wealth star there).

"The pool is never in use." He got tired of it. (Now the presence of an inactive star is more likely)

I got a grand tour of his house. As I entered the living room, this gold shiny thing immediately caught my attention at the coffee table. It was as if telling me to submit to its presence. Curious as I am, i walked towards this object almsot in a trance. (accidentally kicked Bernard's puggy. Ouch!)

Ok. Its wasn't the pandora's box as I thought. Its actually a gold 3 legged frog used as a paper weight for the utility bills. (talk about the structural unemplyment situation here!) I realise that this frog is not asking for attention to let everyone present appreciate the good luck its suppose to emit. (of course not! you don't ask HR to do marketing!) Instead, this little creature is demanding attention warning others to stay away.

*Quick feng shui fact on the 3 legged frog. It has the ability to attract wealth. The coin in it's mouth is not a representation of it bringing money to you. What brings wealth is the frog. The coin is a bait to lure the frog. Thats why most of them are made holding a coin in its mouth. The frog should be tactically (yes im talking strategem here) placed in a public area. That means a position where it can observe everything from a "hidden" location. Never place it too high or on the ground.

Smiling at the predicament of the creature (lets tell bernard).....

Bernard: "Hey take a look at this new stereo I just bought" The chill out session resumes

His maid seems grumpy today.... Since today's feng shui elements consist of earth and metal according to the Hsia Calendar, she must have a lot of wood in her 4 pillars. Judging from her apearance..... problaly early to mid 30's. With an obvious tendency to get too carried away by emotions, my guess is that she was born in '74 year of the wood tiger!

Bernard doesn't seem to be his usual self lately, maybe his business is losing money. He is not saying. Since there is an earth theme to the house and seeing that this is a year of the conflict star. My guess is as good as yours.

Had a great time just chilling out at his place and just do some catch up. Before I left, I have to save the frog...

"Well Bernard, if you want to place a 3 legged frog in the living room, put it somewhere where it can see everybody and not everybody can see it. Its a frog you know.... its natural instinct is to hide from us. You are putting it on the spot man. On the one hand you want it to bring you wealth, on the other, well..... you are leaving it in a vulnerable spot. Have some consideration for heaven's sake! It will be spending more time being intimidated by onlookers rather than giving you the luck that you want."

"Give me some personal space!"

*3 legged frog origin: The wife of a deity stole the exilar of immortality and fled to the moon. She consumed it. Then from afar, the outline of someone approaching caught her eye. This was way before Neil Armstrong. So no, it wasn't him. It was a god sent to punish her by turning her into a frog. She was remorseful and had attained immortality. Being merciful like so many gods, she was spared while in the midst of tranforming into a frog. Thus only the upper half of her body was that of a frog. There are no hind legs! How is she going to walk! So the god let her retain the tail of a tadpole.
