Saturday is No Plastic Bag Day

For 2011 onwards, Saturday has been declared as no plastic bag day. Do remember to bring along some recycle bags the next time you go shopping!

If you forget to bring recycle bags, fret not. The plastic bag is available for sale at 20 cents per bag. Major department stores and supermarkets already launch this campaign.

Nowadays I do carry along recycle bags in mini-bags, something like the size of a big strawberry for convenience while shopping and do my bit in saving the environment.

Have you play your part? Support a greener environment!

Face Reading and Palm Reading

Chinese literally have a lot of traditional beliefs and practices. Most Chinese belief in having good features will enhance the fengshui that one carries throughout this life.

Palm and face readings are so common nowadays that the Face/Palm reading expert set up stalls at major night markets or shopping centers.

Do you believe that having small eyes mean that the person is cunning? What about a mole on the nose means that a person can't save money? Or light/sparse eyebrows mean the person is faint-hearted and do not have good chi?

For me, I think it has its 'truth' to certain extent. Combining with fengshui knowledge like those from Joey Yap, we can enhance our understanding of good fengshui and enhancing our lives. However, its not worth it to be a 'fengshui fanatic' until it rules our lives.

I am learning too from Joey Yap, and got 'convinced' from his Fengshui Profiling. Do check them out yourself!
