Moles on Faces

Moles and what they say about you??

The Chinese Almanac, also known as the Tung Shu, is commonly known as a book of auspicious and inauspicious dates, but there is so much more to the Tung Shu than that. It is a vast mine of information relating to astrology, codes and symbols, derived by the wise sages and philosophers of ancient China .. In this issue, we bring to you the secrets from the almanac regarding moles on your face and what they mean depending on which part of your face they appear.


First, check your face for any moles, and then look at the diagram above to identify the number(s) that are a closest match to the moles on your face. Usually, the moles only hold meaning for you if they are prominent and they are the only one. If your face if full of spots, acne or 'little' moles, they do not count. When you've ascertained which position corresponds to the mole on your face, look up the meanings listed by numbers below.

Position 1 to 3 As a child, you are somewhat rebellious and a free spirit. You have an innate creativity and work best when you are given a free hand. Generally, your superiors like your! avante garde approach to life. If you have a mole here, you are far better off in business and being your own boss rather than working for somebody. What is promising is that you have the luck to be your own boss.

Position 4 You are an impulsive person, often acting with a flamboyance that gives you charisma and a sparkling personality, but you can be difficult when there are too many opinions. You tend to be rather argumentative, but never to the point of holding grudges. This mole tends to give you an explosive temper and should you decide to remove it, you will find yourself becoming calmer and more at peace with the world.

Position 5 A mole above the eyebrow indicates that there is wealth luck in your life, but you will need to earn it and work harder than most people. All the income you make must be carefully kept as there are people who are jealous of you who might attempt to sweet talk you into parting with your wealth. Be wary of those who try to interest you in get-rich-quick schemes. If you have a mole here, it is advisable not to be too trusting of others. Follow your instincts and be cautious. And never allow other people to control your finances.

Position 6 A mole here indicates intelligence, creativity and skill as an artist. Your artistic talent can bring you wealth, fame and success.! It also indicates wealth luck, but this can only be fully realized if you follow your heart rather than stick to conventional means of making a living. Success will come if you are brave.

Position 7 Moles under the eyebrows indicate arguments within the extended family that cause you grief and unhappiness. This will affect your work and livelihood. It is advisable to settle any differences you have with your relatives if you want peace of mind to move ahead.

Position 8 This is not a very good posit! ion for a mole. Your financial position will constantly be under strai n because of a tendency to overspend. You also have a penchant for gambling. The only thing is you must know when to stop. Meanwhile, someone with a mole here has a tendency to flirt with members of the opposite sex as well as with the same sex. Better be a little discerning where you exert your charms, or you might get into trouble.

Position 9 This mole position suggests sexual and other problems. It is an unfortunate mole and you are well advised to get rid of it. It brings a litany of woes and a parade of problems.

Position 10 A mole here just under the nose indicates excellent descendants luck. You are surrounded by family at all times and will have many children and grandchildren. You have the support of those close to you and will be both materially and emotionally fulfilled.
[This one is for my Pap!! Haa!]

Position 11 Moles here suggest a tendency to succumb to illness. It is a good idea to have this mole removed especially if it is a large, dark-coloured mole. Otherwise use lots of foundation to cover it.

Position 12 A mole here foretells a successful but also a very balanced life. You are likely to be not just rich, but famous as well. But although you have every opportunity to live the high life, you will have a satisfying home and family life as well. Women with moles here are particularly lucky and tend to be beautiful and glamorous as well.

Position 13 Your children will be a big worry in your life. Your relationship with them is not good. There is nothing much you can do about this except to learn some tolerance.

Position 14 A mole here suggests a vulnerability to food which ! can be a big problem in your life. You may have allergies against certain foods or you may simply be eating too much.

Position 15 You are a person always on the move and constantly renovating and redesigning your house. You like to be introduced to new things and see new places. You are not happy if you remain in one place for long. You enjoy travel and adventure, and have a very observant eye.

Position 16 You need to be careful when it comes to eating, and also when it comes to your sex life. These! are your two biggest problems. You tend to have weight issues which c an make you depressed. You enjoy romance, sometimes with more than one person, but because you are a person with some morality, you will feel guilty about it and this will cause you much stress.

Position 17 You will be someone of great social prominence. You are active on the social scene and an excellent conversationalist. There is a tendency to become bigheaded about your success, which could lose you your good name. This will affect you deeply because you draw your confidence and self worth from what others think of you.

Position 18 You are a person always on the move. There is a great deal of overseas travel in your life, but you should take extra care each time you cross the great waters, as your mole prefers you to stay at home.

Position 19 You have money luck and many good friends, so this is a good mole to have. Your weakness is that you tend to succumb to the charms of the opposite sex. In your life, it is this that could get you into hot water, so do cool your ardour!

Position 20 A mole here can be very lucky or very unlucky. If you have a mole here, yo u are destined either for extreme fame or infamy. You have great flair for creativity and are also highly intelligent, but your talents can be used for both good and bad. You are not a person to be trifled with for you are no pushover and do not forgive and forget easily. This mole is a mark of someone who will go down in history either as a great or as a tyrant.

Position 21 This is a good mole, as it suggests plenty to eat and drink throughout your life. This mole also brings fame and recognition.

Position 22 Your life is always happy and things go smoothly for you. You could well become a sports superstar if you have the passion for it. Moles at the end of eyebrows also suggest a person of authority and power, so if you are the CEO of a company, you will do very well.

Position 23 You have a high IQ, and you are both brain smart and street smart. You have a highly-developed survival instinct and will lead a meaningful and long life. You will be active until a very old age and will have friends and family around you till the very end.

Position 24 You will achieve fame and fortune in your young age and you are advised to use this period to safeguard your old age, as people with moles here tend to have a harder life as they get older.

Position 25 You will enjoy good prosperity and recognition luck, but do be careful of excesses. Stay traditional in your attitudes and you will have a long and fruitful life.

So.... what does your Moles say about you...?? *smiles*

Build To Impress

The Flyer
Universal Studios
A380
5 terminals
Casinos > IR....
Marina South development
F1 night race
Youth Olympics

As much as I'm proud of these achievements as a Singaporean, it did make me wonder what is the purpose of winning and building these projects.

To generate tourism? definitely!
To boast our strength as a nation? To impress the world?
To provide jobs? I doubt so..

Why do we need 2 Casinos in such a small country? How many casinos does Malaysia has? Do we really have to go one better?.. These are places that do nothing but harm..to my opinion.. one is already more than enough.. check out the number of cranes on site you are dead sure that they are trying to complete the project as soon as possible.

Whats happening to Sentosa? Whats happening to the environmentally friendly policy of the island. GONE!.. more developments. more modes of transports. car numbers are expected to increase. new connecting bridge. To attrach foreign investors i suppose...

Terminals 1.. Terminal 2.. Budget Terminal.. fair enough.. Terminal 3.. all right thats for A380.. plans for Terminal 4!! thats plain ridiculous.. is that a plan to get back the No.1 spot for being the best international airport in the world? lost to KL, bad loser? why cant they try improving on what they have and not keep on spending tax payers money to build more terminals. I seriously dont believe we need a Terminal 4. maybe the authorities just want to use up every inch of land they have.

Good on them for introducing The Flyer. ah ah.. I don't expect it to last. just not attractive enough. because everyone has it, doesnt mean we NEED to have it. 5 years.. Maintenance Fees will be more than Income.

F1.. impressive, fancy such a small country where traffic is becoming a problem can actually host a F1 race. good for the people. but can we actually handle the event. come to think of it. We, just won't take fail as an answer. what i can expect is, more overtime, less pay, good media reports. We are already not doing very well handling the ticket selling system. all right, is our first, excuse accepted. do we need to fix the CashCard reader on the racing cars? ERP till 10.30pm.

guess being a Foreign Minister wont be that easy in my country. we are continuing trying to impress others. I guess the culture has gotten into the citizens as well long time ago. PSLE, Os, As, Diploma, Degree. remember those days when ur uncles and aunties will call and ask you how well you have done. Thanks for the concern relatives!..

maybe is time to sit down and think how to provide benefits for our citizens, not continuing to trust foreigners, giving residency and benefits to them. population in Geylang will just keep on increasing. even the Tau Huay business is afraid and has shifted further away to avoid the stink.

I've learnt not to believe everything the media reports now. because only the good stuffs are reported. Singapore has certainly changed. Changed for the world.

Public Transport in Singapore > Cabs

Waited for 15 minutes before decided to call a cab for a trip back home from Raffles City Shopping Centre after dinner. 85% of the people that waited @ the taxi stand called for a cab.

Taxi Stand should be re-defined. it is not a location to wait for cabs. It is a location for called cabs to know where to pick up their passengers. Personally, I think it is rather unfair to the passengers for taxis "loitering" around the CBD area, not waiting to pick up passengers, but waiting to press that "$3.50" button on the screen in front of them. yes, as I found out yesterday, many cabs are able pick us 5-7 minutes after we made the cab call. Cabs who got played out did not even want to pick up passengers waiting @ the taxi stand. off they go to their pressing game again.

Both of us happily hopped on the cab after the call. extra charges $6.50. What? before I can figure out what other extra charges are there, the metre has already reach 3 bucks. thats already $9.50. your seats are not even warm yet. Uncle was all right, not the usual grumpy one, upon asking, $3 is an extra charge for services within the CBD from 5pm to 12 midnight. the W word came up again. WHAT!!!! and after 12, there's this midnight charge. i thought to myself: THIS IS HOME, TRULY.

Foreigners says that our cab fare is one of the cheapest in the world. Countries like Australia has the metre increasing like your heart rate. but here back home. Sorry guys, the heart is already pumped before you hop onto the cab.

Public Transport Planners: Is this scheme suppose to benefit taxi drivers or the passengers? is it suppose to encourage drivers to enter CBD area. CBD area should be somewhere accessible, not somewhere forcing passengers to make that call. or is it suppose to increase the use of buses and MRTs.

I guess we will never know the answer, I hope those people making the decisions know the real answers, I'm sure they will never be in our situation. cos they own big cars. Guess at the end of the day, We, the Citizens of Singapore just want to get home safely everyday. No reason is needed which makes your job here much easier.

to own a car, you need a COE
to take a cab, you need to pay EOC > Extra Ordinary Charges.
better stick back to trains and buses
"good" on you singapore, continue to impressed the outside world with casinos, terminals and airplanes. because no one knows the inside world YET! Congrats.

ERP Pricing in Singapore

Went back to Singapore for 3 weeks. Loads of changes. But one issue I can't support is the ERP pricing system in Singapore. Its getting out of hand isnt it? from a traffic engineering point of view.

Yes, I'm proud that we are the 1st country in the world to be able to utilise this system, but this does not mean we have to install it at almost every major road.

First of all, operating the system from 5.30pm to 10.30pm at CTE towards Bishan is ridiculous. Tolls are used for roads maintenance and also to divert traffic away from major roads during PEAK hours. yes peak hours, is quite sad to find out that the peak hours on that road is from 5.30 - 10.30pm (1.5 hours before midnight). Going for prata supper @ Jalan Kayu would cost me another extra dollar.

Second, peak hours does not start at 3.30pm. I find it a joke to find out that I would have to pass a gantry for my trip to Sim Lim Square at 3.30pm where traffic is still smooth. What angers me is that when I decide to make an extra trip to Plaza Singapura. "Beep" there goes another dollar!
I remember before we implemented the ERP system, we would have to buy "coupons" to enter the RESTRICTED AREAS! and gantries are set up to cordon off that particular restricted area to reduce the traffic. Its shit to find out that at current, there are restricted areas within restricted areas. *Bullcrap

third incident > saw a newly installed ERP gantry near Kallang MRT. That's where my family doctor is and the destination is approximately 7 minutes away from my HDB flat. Too add on to my anger, land uses for that vicinity are mainly residential. What is the main purpose of setting up a ERP at this location? to prevent residents from getting cars? I can imagine, next time, I would have to hear that irritating and costly "BEEP" sound when I visit my doctor and making a U-turn back home. Not to mention the ERP at Toa Payoh Lorong 8. Singapore is not a huge country, how can every area be a Restricted Area.

Owning a car in Singapore used to be expensive due to the COEs. I believe that is a very good idea of reducing the number of cars on roads. but nowadays, it seems that the authorities are reducing the price of cars and increasing the ongoing car costs. Really surprised that petrol prices are higher in Singapore than in Sydney. and Sydneysiders are already complaining and pressuring the petrol companies to lower their prices.

just plain pure ridiculous the way the ERP is being implemented.
is hard not to convince me that "they" are starting to be greedy. as usual, not fully taking care of their own people. maybe the money will be used to build Terminal 5 or to sponsor some overseas students from the North-Eastern part of this world. who knows?

Happie Lunar New Year from Down Under

Happy Lunar New Year to Everybody~!!!~


Although I would really prefer to be back in Singapore RIGHT NOW for this very traditional Chinese New Year festive season... Recent Sydney's weather hasn't been the best to celebrate our CNY festival. Always wet & windy; making CNY parades, stage performances & lion dances to disappear. But we still make an effort to go down to StarCity casino to see the lion dances & dragon dance, plus 2 strings traditional Red Firecrackers!! Also took Angpows from Mr Chai, Chai Sen Ye (God of Wealth).

When checking out the steamboat on the previous blog entry, made me drool & heart wrenchin' to go home to sit there and have dinner together. Pap, you can really make me miss home. But knowing everybody is having a ballin' good time, lightens my spirits as well. Thanks for the Toast! Pictures does speaks a thousand words... That's very sweet.

Yaaaaaaaaaaaaammmm Sengggggggggggggggggggg
back to all @ home too~ *BIG SMILES*


However, Clement & I made it a point to keep certain traditions alive for the next generation to appreciate the lil' family traditions & taboos. We had a mini-spring cleaning; which means clearing my clutter. Clement has not much clutter. I take after my Dad, I like to keep stuffs, work-out stuffs & repair stuffs. So it's the time of the year, to those I can't repair / no time to attend to -- Goodbye! straight into the bin.

Next, shopping! New clothes! to usher in the new Rat year, MY year. Yes, 2nd round - 24 yrs old. Bought almost $50 worth of food supplies to DISH up our Reunion Dinner for the next 3 days and to have a brand new sack of Rice for the coming Rat year! Rice to feed the Rat. *grinz*



Not too long now, I'll be back home in time for the 人日 (Ren Re), in other words, Yu-Sang day~!!! Oh Yeah... Till then... Take care & wishing all Hs - Happiness, Health & Heaps of Money!

~CNY greetings from Down Under~
