I am sleepy and it’s 1:15am- I should be sleeping, but before I do, I wanted to blog about the auspicious date thing because it’s part of what we did for ROM. lol

During my producing days, I used to work with a Fengshui master, called Master Hui, and he consults all the ‘celebrities’ in Singapore. So, the fact that I knew he was not a dodgy guy, I told my hubby that we should go and get a date for our ROM even though we’re of another religion. No harm getting more help and blessings from fate right?

So we paid about slightly below 200 bucks for the dates. (He gave us 5 dates) He takes 2 weeks to calculate and you need to know all your birth-date, time,  as well as your parents.

You can give him English date and he will convert to “chinese” (calendar) dates and then count from there.

For those who do not require this “auspicious date”, just take heart that you’re not chinese and don’t have such traditions. :p

I thought it was quite fun though. Calculating a date so we don’t have to crack our heads for a date ourselves! A word of caution, do consult your families on this because for us, we had some conflict on approaching who-whos.

So before you step on this turf, make sure the older folks are aware and all-approving of the traditional ways we- the younger generation- are adopting.

Places to find such tellers: shops selling Buddhism crafts (maybe),  temples, ask the mums.
