Fish Tank Feng Shui (1) 鱼缸风水 (一)

If you Google “where to put fish tank”, the unanimous answers from the internet are as follows: South-east, North, and East. There are also several articles explaining why your fish tank cannot be put in the bedroom. My answer to where you can put your fish tank is that it depends on the size of your fish tank, and what sort of furniture you have in the room.

鱼缸放哪里? 如果你谷歌“放鱼缸的地方”, 搜寻答案包括:东南,北和东。还有几篇文章解释为什么鱼缸不能放在卧室里。鱼缸放哪里? 我的答案是: (一) 我们要看鱼缸的大小, 还有(二)房间里有什么样的家具。



In my flat, the living room happens to be located in the North, which is a great sector for putting a fish tank! Hooray! 💃 Over the years, there has been many transformations of my living room, and so too, in the type of fish tank that I put in the living room. The thing is: I can’t put the fish tank on the floor, because I have a free-roaming rabbit who loves to chew electrical wires and anything plastic or silicon. LOL! ‘Rascal’ 🐇. So where I put the fish tank really depended on whether there was a table top or a cupboard top, where I could put the fish tank on! In the beginning, I put a water fountain on a 4-tier wooden corner rack, and when the fountain pump spoiled, I chucked the whole thing out because the fountain ‘structure’ got too slimy! You know how fountains are!!! I then bought a L48cm (length) by B21cm (breadth) by H22cm (height) fish tank, and I put it on the Ikea cupboard bench that acted as a display cupboard in my living room. As the Ikea cupboard was made of wood, I did not dare to put a larger fish tank, for fear that the wood cupboard could not support the weight of the tank plus water.  Did I buy the fish tank first, or did I buy the Ikea cupboard first? I forget, but I bought one to match the other. Later, as I began to have more time on my hands (see? Feng Shui works!),  I reshuffled the furniture again, and this time, I paid for a customized 4-legged iron rack for my new L60cm by B30cm by H46cm glass fish tank. I have plans to install a full-height flowing water wall of Buddha, that I saw selling in a landscape supplies shop in IMM (a popular shopping complex located in the west side of Singapore), and I will buy that when I next renovate my home (when the mood to renovate strikes me! 😂 )

The Feng Shui ‘lessons’ are:

(1) it is not true that if you shift your fish tank around, you will experience bad luck. But what is true, in my case, is that my fish tank is placed in the North (which is the living room) of my home. I may shift the fish tank around, but it remains in the North (the living room)! And my fish tank is not a gigantic fish tank or a massive fish tank. In my blog ____, I advised you not to buy those!

(2) the water fountain, the L48cm glass fish tank and the L60cm fish tank did not just happen. It was never an impulse buy for any of them. You see, in my mind, I always have plans to maybe throw out that very old sofa when I had saved enough money, or perhaps I’ll buy a glass coffee table because it is more modern-looking than my wooden one. I sometimes manage to free up more space (or end up with less space 😅) buying those new pieces of furniture, and so my fish tank size changes according to what furniture I had bought.

(3) I will never carry ALL my 6 fish tanks and put them together in any particular corner of my home. Not concentrated in the South-East, North or East. All my fish tanks are spread out all over my home (but they are not in the kitchen or in my sleeping bedrooms).

(4) I talk to my husband everyday. Without fail. This is important because I need to know how his work day went, after I shifted the fish tank, or after I moved the sofa to the other corner. If his day passed as per normal, then I will leave the new furniture arrangements as it is. If something out-of-the-ordinary happened, I will judge whether it has a good or bad impact, and I will either leave the new furniture, or I will shift it back to the original position asap.  Sometimes out-of-the-ordinary is not necessarily bad, as I will tell you in another blog______.

(5) Sometimes I tell my husband that I have shifted the furniture around, sometimes I don’t. I don’t tell him everything! LOL! Read my thoughts about a woman’s ‘showhand’ in ________. You know, I can buy a new coffee table, and my hubby won’t even notice it. Men and women are really programmed differently. He only ‘sees’ it when the credit card bill arrives. ROFL!!! Hahahahahaha!!! Too funny!!! 😂😂😂

在我的组屋里,恰好客厅位于北部,是一个放鱼缸的好地方!太好了!💃 多年来,我的客厅摆设时常应为我们的需求, 改变了很多,鱼缸类型也随着客厅的摆设改变许多。我不能把我的鱼缸放在地板上,因为我有一只不住笼子的白兔,他最喜欢咬电线和任何塑料或硅胶制造的东西。😂 “小捣蛋兔子”🐰。因此, 我家的鱼缸一定要放在桌面或碗柜顶部!头头开始,我的客厅有一个四层的木制角落架, 最高的架子我放了一个喷泉,喷泉泵坏了,我就把整个喷泉扔掉了。 读者们, 你们知道啦, 喷泉用久了会有一层滑滑的污垢!😫 喷泉扔了, 我就买长四十八公分*宽二十一公分*高二十二公分的玻璃鱼缸,把它放在我新买的‘宜家’橱柜长椅上。 这鱼缸搭配橱柜长椅就作为我客厅的焦点展示柜。由于‘宜家’橱柜长椅是木制成的,我不敢放较大的鱼缸,担心木柜不能支撑鱼缸和鱼缸水重量。我忘了, 是我先买‘宜家’橱柜长椅还是我先买长四十八公分鱼缸, 总之, 一是买来配二的。 再后来, 我开始有更多时间时(看! 风水是有效的!),我重新移动客厅所有的家具。 这一次,我买了一个定制的四脚铁架,把我的新买的长六十公分*宽三十公分*高四十六公分的玻璃鱼缸放在定制的四脚铁架上面。我有计划购买IMM(新加坡岛西边一个热门百货商场)的一家风景用品商店售卖的全高流动水佛墙,把它安置在我客厅的北部。 我一定在我下一次翻新家时这么做。

读了上段, 我们可学的风水提示是:

(1)如果你家已经有鱼缸, 有一天如果你想换鱼缸位置,你不会遭遇厄运。很多人听这个人说, 听那个人说, 搞到连换鱼缸的位置也不敢。 即使他们现在人生过的不如意, 他们还是‘没有根据的原因’不敢移鱼缸, 情愿继续过不好的生活! 这有‘逻辑’吗?🤔 但是,移鱼缸位置要服从几个指南点:

(i)比如说在我家的房子布局, 我的鱼缸放在我家的北部(客厅)。我可能会移动鱼缸,但它仍然在我家内的北部(还是在客厅里)!正如我——————博客劝告, 我永远不会买一个巨大的鱼缸!

(ii)喷泉,长四十八公分的玻璃鱼缸和长六十公分的鱼缸不是一夜就买齐的。我头脑里总是有计划想把那张看起来很旧的沙发扔掉, 或者, 我想有一天我会买一张玻璃咖啡桌取代我现在的木卓。 有时我买对, 我就能在客厅里腾出更多的空间。 买错了没办法客厅的空间变小了。 哎哟!因此, 我的鱼缸尺寸会根据我购买的家具而改变。

(iii)我永远不会把我家里的六个鱼缸全部放在我家的任何角落, 我不管东南,北方或东方。我的鱼缸放我家的‘四面八方’ (除了在厨房或我睡觉的卧室里)。

(iv)我和我先生的感情这么好, 是应为我每天一定会陪他聊天。我研究风水, 这‘聊天’很重要,因为我需要知道他的工作日如何。 有时我移动鱼缸,或者我将沙发移到另一个角落之后, 先生的日子是否按照正常? 如果他跟我说发生了一些不寻常的事情,我会自己判断是好是坏。 根据我的判断, 我会把家私留着,要不然我会尽快把它移回原来的位置。说到这点, 有时候,不寻常的东西不一定是坏的,下次会在另一个博客——————告诉你。

(v)我不是任何事情都跟我先生讲的!有时我会告诉他我把家具移了,有时候我没有说。看情况。。。 读者们, 你们知道吧,男人和女人的编程方式有所不同。我可以买一张大的新咖啡桌,但我先生不会注意到。要他知道家里有一张新桌子, 等信用卡帐单来了, 我先生马上就“看见”它。哈哈哈!!!哈哈哈!!!太好笑了!!!😂😂😂
