As you continue to read my true life story, I will tell you how I transformed #04-94 into a home with good feng shui. Let me clarify! I am not telling you to go buy a home with lots of 4s! Of course not! As a matter of fact, when I moved to my current mansionette, my instructions to my agent was “no number 4s”, but it was not because of superstition that I told him that. For the real reason, you have to continue reading my blog! 😉 But because this #04-94 unit did bring me my first dose of incredible good luck, I want to tell you that:

(1) it is not true that if you buy a unit with lots of 4s (for e.g. located on 4th floor, unit number is starting with 4, or it is ending with 4), you are doomed forever. Some people are so easily defeated. They blame every failure and setback in their life on this “4”, and they give up trying to improve their situation! What a convenient excuse to give up!

(2) you have to consider your own circumstances in every ‘stage’ of your life. I told you in Survival Chic ____ that you just have to bunk with your parents if you got no money to pay for your own roof outside. In my story so far, I have tried to live with my MIL, but I honestly tell you that if I had continued to stay with her, even for a day more, under those trying circumstances of my life (back then!), I would either have ended up in a mental institution, or I would have run away (I still don’t think that divorce was ‘permitted’ in the society back then). So buying a unit with lots of 4 was the lesser of 2 evils. It was the circumstances then that required my desperate action. And I was lucky because my husband and I had worked for a couple of years, so we were eligible for a housing loan. If we did not qualilfy for that, I don’t know what would have happened to my life! 🙏

(3) One of the things I have learnt in life is that if an opportunity (such as the 2nd floor unit owned by the nurse) passes you by, it is not the end of the world. Of course I felt upset that the seller and her agent would pull such a stunt, but what could I do? Sue them? What for? Remember I said in ___ that arguing and fighting is a huge waste of your time and your energy. It’s just not worth it! In this case of buying my first flat unit, there were other options. Thankfully at that time, I was willing to look for them, and to consider them. Don’t be so fixated in your ways, especially if you are desperate, and you have no control over the circumstances.

And lesson number 4, which I feel is very important in life is:

(4) it will not hurt you to eat humble pie. In my story, I knew that my mum would have bitten my nose off, but still I went to ask her for the $20k loan. I was really, really prepared for her to say no. I’m really grateful she did relent in this instance, after 100 years (haha?!) of watching her daughter suffer. So you see, you never know where life brings you, and what’s next in store. Don’t give up! Never give up! Fighting! 💪

Does Feng Shui work? Yes, it does! Ordinary people can make it work too! Make Feng Shui Work! 

继续读下去，我会分享我如何把#04-94单位变成好风水单位！在此澄清：我不是叫你立刻买有四头，或有四尾，或任何有四的组屋单位！😅 当然不是！虽然当时那间住所真的带给我好运，好风水，坦白说，后来我找我现在局住的‘小型豪宅’（政府盖的啦！哈哈）时，明确跟我的经济说明：“组屋单位门牌不可以有四”！不过，我不是应为迷信而拒绝四字。改天我才让你知道原因。

虽然当时我住的是人人排斥的#04-94，我先生和我在住哪儿时的确有好运。我领悟到：

（一）比如人家说屋子不能有四字，或屋子不能买那些盖在旧坟场上的，这些迷信大多数是真的。不过如果你现在住的是人家说不能住的屋子，那怎么办？难道马上卖屋子？不肯能呀！我们说的是几十万的交易！反正就算你决定要卖屋，你找新屋的当时，生活还是要照常过，对吧？有些人，应为他们觉得（听说）自己屋子位置不好，就认定什么坏事、倒霉事是应为屋子造成，这变成他们放弃的理由！别这么轻易被打败！

（二）凡事只有当事者最清楚， 而且每个人在每一个人生阶段都会有不同的‘人生需要’。 比如说我虽然在——————说过， 如果你没有钱， 你不得不咬着舌头和爸爸妈妈一起住。 没有办法呀！ 但是我明白， 可能你和我一样， 有试着跟家婆一起住， 不过就是行不通。 如果当时我还得忍受我家婆多一天，我一定会入精神病院，或可能我会离家出走（当时，真的啦，离婚不被看好，我一定面对很多阻力）。在那种情况下，卖一间#04-94的‘不吉利号码’单位根本不算什么！ 不过幸好我先生和我已经做工两、 三年， 所以银行才肯借房屋贷款给我们。 如果我没连钱都借不到， 我真的不敢想象我人生会变得怎么样！ 🙏

（三）我们本来要的二楼单位（护士主人的）给别人抢走，虽然很可惜，不过不是绝路。当时我是感到很难过， 不是应为买不到组屋单位， 而是应为那个经纪人根本不把我和我先生当一回事， 他藐视我们！ 😭 太可恶了， 不过我们能怎么办？ 难道要拉他上法庭告他违背诺言？ 记得我在—————— 说过跟别人争吵是一件既耗费时间又耗费力气的活动。 我们做人一定要往前看，一定要预见会有好消息。别绝望！我这句忠告特别是对我们不能控制的情况非常管用。我们普通人活着真的很幸苦，很有挑战，大家要加油！⛽

还有，我认为是最重要的一点：

（四）做人千万不要太倔强、固执、顽固，还有不会看情形向别人低头！其实向别人低头不会死的，可能那瞬间，你觉得太没有面子（自尊），不过你要以大局为重。比如说，那时我开口跟妈妈借两万时，我已经做好最坏准备：她一定不会借给我。没想到，她连眨眼都没有，很爽快说OK。所以你看，未来你我都不能预测。好消息就要来了！别放弃！千万不能放弃！加油！💪

风水有效吗？当然有！让好风水实现！普通人也可以做到！
