Ten Ways To Avoid Seeing Ghosts 防见鬼十法

Sourced from an online forum.

防见鬼十法 (Ten Ways To Avoid Seeing Ghosts)

一、司空不宜留荫
   在面相学上,司空乃发光之处,若额前留“荫”遮及司空位,等于弄熄这盏明灯,霉气、衰气便会缠住你不放,灵 体鬼怪也容易接近你,故司空位的头发最好剪碎或拨开。
(1, don't let your hair over your forehead i.e don't look like the beatles)

二、逛夜街忌穿红衣
   夜晚外出,有两大忌,一忌穿黑衣,皆因黑黑沉沉的颜色,鬼怪灵体最喜欢依附在此。二忌穿红衣,红色对于恶鬼 来说,属标奇立异的颜色,容易惹起注意,爱出夜街的男女要谨记。
(2, Dont wear black or red at midnight) add ons: When on the streets at night.

三、戒鬼字挂口边
   “小鬼”、“衰鬼”、“鬼理你”、“这么鬼麻烦啊”是不少人的口头禅。记住,这类说话不宜多说,因发音磁场 可能会触及鬼怪。如果你常把“鬼”字挂口边,实在要戒。
(3, don't mention "ghost" frequently)

四、长走廊安灯
   很多家居间隔都有长走廊,长走廊经常不见阳光,造成阴盛阳衰的局面,是鬼怪灵异最爱藏匿之处,所以若家中有 长走廊,记得装一盏长明灯增强阳气,免得鬼怪停留不走。
(4, don't walk in dark or poorly lit alley)

五、爬山戴玉器
   登山远足是不错的假日消闲活动,但由于高地湿气重,加上很多动物死后,尸体腐化于此,无形中强化了负面磁场 。不想见到“脏东西”,不妨佩戴一些玉器饰物,借此增强个人的正面磁场。
(5, Mountains are often laden with dead animals so the ying is strong. Advisable to wear jade etc when climbing mountains)

六、别玩碟仙笔仙
   年轻人爱寻求刺激,喜欢大伙儿玩碟仙、笔仙,从而预知未来事。事实上,如此直接与灵体接触、沟通,日常很容 易会感应到“它们”的存在。尤其发觉近排印堂发黑气者,这类玩意更是大忌。
(6, Don't play saucer)

七、八卦挡邪气
   殡仪馆是先人出殡的地方,兼且弥漫哀伤气氛,故负面磁场旺盛。家住殡仪馆附近的朋友,建议在窗外挂一块八卦 。当中的八个卦数代表正气,正气十足,自然不怕邪气入屋,住近殡仪馆都不怕。
(7, funeral parlour likely to attract ghost, so advisable to place 8 diagram if your house are near to such places)

八、探病先拜家神
   若需要经常出入医院探病,事前不妨往拜神,求个心安理得。若然探望的病人是你的亲戚,拜祭家神特别奏效;而 倘若病人是朋友而非亲戚,则可以到一般庙上香祈求神明庇佑。
(8, Have some prayers before hospital visitations)

九、住酒店忌尾房
   去旅行住酒店,不少人都说尾房不宜住。这的确有根有据,皆因尾房通常日照不足,有欠阳气,而灵体最喜欢流连 此类阴暗之地,所以如果住酒店被分配尾房,不妨换房。
(9, When checking into hotels, advisable not to choose the last stretch of room due to lack of sunlight)

十、灵性号码要避忌
   至于酒店房间的门牌号码也需留意,在风水学上,“二”及“五”均属灵性的数字,故酒店房间尾数不宜有“二” 或“五”,不然容易引起灵怪注意,时运低者便可能和“它们”撞个正着。
(10, according to fengshui, 2 & 5 belong to spiritual numbers, avoid taking room numbers with 2 or 5)

Their Hearts Have Ghosts: Sam Jung Yau Gwai 心中有鬼 Hati Mereka Ada Hantu

"Hati mereka ada hantu," said the despised Hee Yit Foong in Bahasa at a press conference recently.

Now that's a literal translation from the Chinese idiom 心中有鬼 (Mandarin: xīn zhōng yǒu guǐ; Cantonese: sam jung yau gwai). In English, it means "to have bad intentions". Directly translated it comes out as "their hearts have ghosts".

What a joke. This Hee fella better get hold of a mirror and gaze into it herself. Tee hee hee. Ha ha ha.

May 13, 2009: 40 Years On

Today is May 13. I hope that the evil-doers responsible for causing the deaths of innocent people 40 years ago have paid a terrible price for their despicable deeds. If they're not dead yet, they better die in pain, loneliness and prolonged agony. If they escaped paying their dues in this life, they must suffer in the hereafter or their next life. Karma.

Allusion: You Gotta Make The Connection

What in the world is allusion?

In plain English, it is a direct or indirect reference to something. That something could be a person, place, thing, event, a book, a movie, or a work of literature. You gotta make the connection by using your own understanding and knowledge if the reference is not directly stated.

How useful is allusion?

In Ancient China, if you directly criticized the emperor or government you'd lose your head. Literally. So those who wanted to criticize the government could only do so through very indirect ways. They'd write a novel with a complicated cast of characters, or create fictionalizations of historical events well known to the population. That's why Chinese literature uses plenty of allusion. Some people say that Journey To The West 西遊記 and Water Margin 水滸傳 were intended to criticize the government of the day.

Peeyi பேய் Power, Pisaasu பிசாசு & Kaavalbhutam காவல்பூதம் In Full Force

So the peeyi பேய் triumphed yesterday, backed up by the full force of pisaasu பிசாசு and kaavalbhutam காவல்பூதம். Sad.

They've got the power.
They've intimidated the people.
They've twisted and turned words to suit their objectives.
They've got no hesitation to crush anyone who stands in their way.

They use fear, intimidation and everything else in the book or outside the book to get their way.

Fear is the easiest emotion to induce in human beings, and oppresive regimes have used it to great effect for thousands of years.

We need an exorcist. Really. Otherwise the evil peeyi, pisaasu and kaavalbhutam shall continue to haunt us for a long time to come.

Tamil Comedy தமிழ் காமிடி: Senthil, Goundamani, Vadivelu and Vivek

Four famous Tamil comedy actors are Senthil, Goundamani, Vadivelu and Vivek. Thanks to Ramesh for introducing me to these comedians.

Senthil and Goundamani often act as a pair, something like Laurel and Hardy. They've been around since the early 1980s, making many people laugh with their comic antics and funny dialogues (in Tamil, of course).

Vadivelu comedies are more of action and slapstick. Even if you don't understand Tamil you'll laugh when watching his video clips. Poor Vadivelu always seems to get into trouble with baddies bashing him up at every corner.

Vivek's comedy relies a lot on wordplay, situations and dialogue. You really need to understand Tamil to catch the jokes and comedy in his videos. Satire's the keyword.

In Malaysia you can catch them on Siri Siri Tamil Comedy if you have Astro.

Sunway Lagoon Locker System

For your information, Sunway Lagoon has two types of lockers for storing your stuff. One is the electronic PIN locker at RM15/= per day and the manual key locker at RM5/= per use.

You feed cash into the electronic PIN locker console (exact amount only, no change given) while the manual key locker takes tokens which you can get from an exchange machine. It's pretty straightforward to use the manual key locker so I won't elaborate here.

I'll talk about the electronic PIN locker instead. Its console works like an ATM. After making payment, you choose a locker (preferably within sight of the console) by entering its two-digit number, e.g. 01. Press ENTER to confirm.

Next, you need to select a 6-digit PIN. Make sure you memorize it well because you won't be writing down anything on paper while getting wet at Sunway Lagoon, right? Enter the PIN, confirm it by re-entering it and press ENTER.

Now that you've got your PIN, you can open and close your locker as many times as you want throughout the day. Just make sure you press ENTER to confirm that you will be continuing to use the locker when the machine asks you whether you want to continue or not. It's just like those hotel safes with electronic number locks.

By the way, one locker measures about 1x1x2 feet, or the equivalent of a slanted laptop bag or one small clothes bag. Hope this info is useful.
