The Bittersweet Irony

While getting my hair cut, my hairdresser remarked, “I think some people avoid coming to you because they fear you’ll point out their mistakes.”

But aren’t they seeking a better fate?

When a person makes mistakes, his destiny will have a gap, causing good fortune to leak away. To mend it, one must first identify the flaws and address them accordingly. The remedy must target the right issue!

“They avoid you because if you point out their mistakes, they’ll have to face them, which they’d rather avoid.”

Is this a roundabout way of saying I’m accurate?

Hearing my hairdresser’s comment, I could not help but laugh, for this has indeed happened not once, but twice.

A young man who had watched my videos two years ago believed in my expertise and bought many of my recommended Buddhist books.

However, after watching a program featuring a fortune teller reading destinies of influencers, he was intrigued and sought a reading from that practitioner instead.

I asked, “Don’t you find my videos, which cover a wide range of topics, interesting?”

He replied, “But you are like an army officer, so strict!”

I address the issue, not the person. Why would a grown man fear a seemingly frail woman if he has nothing to hide?

After seeing that fortune teller, his illusions shattered. Dejected but determined, he signed up for my consultation two months later, but his registration was rejected due to an incorrect donation receipt submitted.

See lah, must use the Law of Attraction right otherwise it will backfire on you.

His second registration went smoothly, and it was telling that he was excited to see me.

I asked, “Having just had a reading from another fortune teller, why come to me just 2 months later? Isn’t it an additional expense for you?”

I was genuinely concerned as his monthly salary was modest.

He explained his plight to me in detail. He had been suffering from a hidden illness, severely impacting his daily life. The only medical solution given by his doctor was surgery, which does not guarantee a complete cure or avoid complications.

He was hoping that the fortune teller could explain his illness’s cause and provide a solution. However, the fortune teller simply advised him not to think too much. The fortune teller went a step further by pushing for the purchase of auspicious Feng Shui ornament to improve his fortune, which only made my client more frustrated.

I joked that he ended up paying twice for something that could have been resolved in one go. He must have owed the fortune teller a debt from his past life and had to repay in this life.

I told him, “When I first saw your registration form, I was very keen to take up your case. Your problems are numerous, and I find them interesting. I am not making light of your predicament but more like I enjoy challenging myself, for it brings me a sense of satisfaction when your issues get resolved.”

In reality, solving his problems was straightforward for me because I have a clear understanding of the Yin and Yang of the five elements.

The male client might have assumed all fortune tellers are as meticulous as I am, based on the many client testimonials he read of mine, but he learned otherwise.

Different fortune tellers have different styles. Who is the right one for you depends on your end purpose.

Whether the black cat is fierce or the white cat is gentle, a good cat is one that catches mice.

Also, I do not sell Feng Shui charms.

The next case was truly disheartening.

A young woman had known about me even before the 2020 pandemic, watching my videos regularly. She explored various methods to improve her destiny, including attending spiritual courses.

Due to a dark secret, she avoided coming to me, yet she continued to follow my videos closely.

She told me, “I’ll only come to you once I’m sure I can let go of my issues, then it will be useful.”

She and her lover were both married to others, and their affair lasted ten years.

She believed that if she had consulted me earlier, I would discern her dark secret, and she would face reprimand, yet she could not end this karmic entanglement.

Five years later, she decided it was time to cut off this forbidden romance and finally mustered the courage to seek my consultation.

I guess she held me in such high regard that she accumulated five more years of sexual misconduct karma. Her conviction must be very strong that she believed I could help her resolve it.

She saw me as a moral benchmark, viewing our consultation as a reward for her resolve to turn over a new leaf, like a child getting a sweet after taking bitter medicine.

Ah, I have become a lollipop!

After the consultation, I pondered on my chair for a long time. When my husband arrived and asked what was wrong, I looked up with a bittersweet smile and said, “It turns out being someone’s hope can feel this way—both laughable and poignant.”

My work is to wait — for those of you seeking to leave the sea of suffering and reach the shore of happiness. Whether it took five years or two, I have waited! But life is fleeting like a phone call—either you hang up first or I do, so please do not keep me waiting too long.

This Friday night, 30 August, at 10pm Singapore time, I will open the registration for Feng Shui and Bazi consultations. Whether you want to give me more bittersweet irony or really crave a turning point in your life, I will be waiting for you.

Registrations will be on my website: English / 中文

The registration is only for those who have bought and read the Buddhist books I recommended. Please ensure you have your book purchase receipt and have never contacted my Shifu before.

Know your karma before you can rewrite your life story. Do not come stealing for a slot that you do not rightfully qualify. I am like an army officer after all, so my male client said. 😏
