1. The Enchanted - Rene Denfield
Chinese drums are rolling....
Friday, January 30, 2009
My family decided to visit my enstranged uncle and follow them to visit another cousin of my mother's.

Today's visiting was pretty good. My mother's cousin's husband talked a lot today because we somehow generated topics related to his hobby: Feng Shui. So jumping on the opportunity, I asked him some Feng Shui questions. One of them is about wind chime. Jolenesiah once told me her father disallowed her to display her wind chime from Japan. I somehow got curious and asked my mother. She was telling me that some people believe it to be a spirit catcher but I found no relevant information related to this on the net. So I was satisfied with my uncle's answer: wind chime is used for 2 reasons. First reason is wind chime is used to either to activate or deactivate some energy chi at some places. Second reason is some people can't listen to the sound of the wind chime because they cannot have metal energy in their live; this only applies to metal wind chime. If you have wind chime that doesn't produce metal sound, then it's alright to display.

Although it's still Chinese New Year, we somehow talked about feng shui practices related to death burial and spirits... So I am right on one thing which many people love asking: what do spirits look like, are you able to see their face, do you interact with them, etc. My uncle was telling us that you won't be able to see the spirits face; you would only see a blur image of them. If it's white image, you are fine. If it's green, they are dangerous. Ok, I thank god for having always see the 'white', not any other colour. And for you all who wish to 'interact', my uncle advises NOT TO because spirits could do anything to you once you open yourself to them. He simply says to just accept it as a gift, nothing more than that.

I was surprised to hear my uncle telling us to knock on the door of hotels before going in. I do that. And then my auntie and uncle [my mother's bro] shared with us which karaoke bars in Kuala Lumpur is ... haunted. I can tell you where if you ask me in my comment box. I don't want to get sued on my blog. Karaoke bars are common places that have energy chi so it's not common for all these spirits to be there, to be beside you listening to your singing. Why? Because they are used to opera singing in early Hungry Ghost festival and it's not in season compare to karaoke.

And before I left the house, my uncle gave me a Feng Shui book written by Joey Yap. I'm going to read it because I need all the good chi to help me in my success!

Chinese traditions...
I have a curiosity of wind chimes some years back, but didn't really get down to any real exploration. Some sources claimed that wind chimes attract the spirits, while some others claimed that it actually repels spirits. I never quite figure it out.

Thanks for dropping by my site! You have some interesting posts in your blog.

Hi, Renaye
Feel free to ask. You can say I am writer. In fact, I am journalist/reporter with an English newspaper in India. And my area of interest include env and wildlife.

No, your post was not eerie. These are informative in the sense they tell a lot about the culture and belief systems of a society which is great.

*cheers*
