THE Chinese New Year begins on Sunday, February 14. Understandably, long lines have formed to fortunetellers and feng shui consultants (geomancers) as most of us are anxious to find out what’s in store for us in the Year of the Golden (Metal) Tiger.
After last year’s general downtrend in the local economy and unfavorable business climate, it is mostly the businessmen who are at the forefront of those long lines, I am told, as they hope the year 2010 would hold more promise for them. (Click Something Like Life for the rest.)

CALL me crazy, but I feel a "disturbance" in the Force. I just don’t know how to explain it, but that’s the closest description I can come up with. It’s not a negative disturbance, rest assured, because all the changes that I’ve been observing have so far been positive amid the seemingly unfavorable events that have played out in the past few weeks.
I’ve been feeling this positive energy since July, when a number of my friends were blessed with wonderful changes in their lives. I even Googled “feng shui” or “zodiac readings” to find out what could be the possible explanation for all these buoyant stirrings. (Click Something Like Life for the rest.)
