Hi lovers0206
1. We'll be collecting our keys tomorrow afternoon from HDB and is thinking to go open up to check the flat for any defects, etc.
a) Is tomorrow (13 April) a good day to open the door to our new flat? If not, pls advice when the soonest we can go.
This is a very bad day. Not suitable. Nearest best date will be 15/4 & 17/4 clashes to your. Hence you can only go for an avg date (as you need to check the defect within 7 days) as the next best date is far away on 21/4. Hence an avg date that don't clash will be 16/4.
b) What are the things to bring and do during this opening?
Depends on your religion and family beliefs.
Generally a non religious way will be :
1) Roll a pineapple from the main door to the middle of the living room to symbolise ushering in of wealth and prosperity.
2) Mix rice and salt together and sprinkle on all corners of the house. Rice is to represent abundance of food in the future and salt is believed to get rid of spirits and ghosts. It is also believed that these spirits hide in corners of the house, hence people normally throw at the corners. The last burst you will throw out of your house to symbolise getting rid of them out of your house.
3) Sprinkle green beans at the living room area. It is believed that if the bean sprout, it means lots of offpsring. But this is not possible as there is no water. Hence in modern days, what some will do is to bring along a plate with wet cotton wool and put the beans on top (in addition to sprinkle on the floor). Only this way will the beans sprout.
4) Any other prayers etc is up to you as they are more of religious thingy than Feng Shui.
2. Our wedding will be on 19 June'11, if by then the renovation is completed,
a) when is a good day/ time to An-Chuang? And what are the procedure of An-Chuang?
Need your parents animal zodiac signs for this date. Pls repost all both your info and parents info again in next thread so that i can give you a date.
b) the first nite we sleep in the flat (after our wedding), what procedure should we do before stepping in?
Nothing. No procedures
The main procedure should be done during your moving in day (a previous symbolic day for move in), not on the wedding day itself.
Hope this helps
