Does she believe in Feng Shui? Yes. Does she do something pro-actively about her interest in Feng Shui? Yes, to some extent. There is a section in our local Chinese newspaper that gives ‘Feng Shui suggestions’. She follows these suggestions. For example, (1) put some coins out in the sun, and then transfer them into a red packet and hang it in your living room (2) put a wealth plant (ZZ plant) in the corner of your living room (3) change all your bulbs to ‘warm white’ instead of ‘daylight white’ to increase your chances of winning the lottery. She was a big fan of how to get more money! She does not understand the theory of Feng Shui, but she was willing to follow these suggestions. She did not stop grumbling about her work and her lack of paper qualifications. Year after year, she would come to my home, and I would answer her Feng Shui questions. She took photos, I watsapp-ed her plenty of notes. I gave her a compass, and I even went to her home and showed her (the same way she was willing to help me with SAP accounting system many years ago) what to put in each corner. And then – nothing! That useless man of her husband would mock us, and he would disclaim every bit of effort we put in. Put a lamp in the South? There is no powerpoint. Run an extension wire? How typical of stupid women to suggest that! So ugly to have a wire running on the floor?!!! I told her that we have to do the Feng Shui improvements without her husband around. Otherwise, she would never improve on her Feng Shui knowledge. She said her husband was not an educated man, very unlike my husband who came in tops in his studies and who works in a fancy job. Again I put up with negativity from her husband, and now I put up with negativity from her! She has changed from a sweet natured girl to someone who blamed her miserable work life on the lack of paper qualifications. I literally felt them sapping away my energy every time we met up. I am not proud of my decision to avoid them both. Till today, I told myself that if I unavoidably ran into her, I would again ask her if we could meet up without her bringing her husband along. I can only handle negativity from one of them, not them combined 😥

好友相信风水。尤其是跟钱有关的风水提示，她特别注重！我们本地华文报账有个专栏教读者小小风水提示：（一）把硬币晒太阳月光七天七夜，把硬币放进红包袋，再把红包袋挂在客厅（二）把发财树放在客厅莫个角落（三）客厅灯管如果用较黄色的灯炮你会赢万字票等。我朋友一一按照指示。做工不顺利，从早上做到晚上，没有人欣赏，我建议激活家里的南部。现在她的情况不是没有钱，而是没有人认可她的付出，她的贡献。这跟家的南部有关系！好友非常非常感兴趣，每年每年都来我家拍照片想回家照搬抄袭我家摆设。我送了她指南针，还像她当年教我会计SAP，我亲自去她家教她。她那没用的先生在旁批评我们女人到底会不会？？！！把多一盏灯放在南部？？！！没有电头。拉个电头？你们女人真笨，如果拉电头就有电线在地上，多难看呀！女人真的很笨！我拉好友到一旁，建议我们趁她先生不在才学风水。她说：我先生是粗人，不像你先生读这么多书，高职位，赚大钱！天啊！我真的说不过她，也说不通。就这样来来回回十多年，有一天我被她先生再没头没尾批评，我告诉自己：停止吧！很难帮这好友的。不止先生消极性，连我好友也被感染到她先生的消极性。双面的攻击，我的‘气’被他们搞乱！很惭愧的。。。我开始躲避他们俩。我对自己决定不骄傲，真的，我觉得很对不起我这好友😪真的，我心里不好受！💔
