"Flower" Button Types Earrings

I bought all these earrings from a Thai friend of mine who is currently studying in Singapore. One of her favourite pastime is to draw. To put her creative juice into use, she handpainted it on flat button and turned them into something unique & special!

Experience & Thoughts

Well, for once, at this moment, am going to write about my tarot reading experiences... over at the flea market... actually kinda cool & exciting lolx hahaha...

I only did 5 public readings lolx hahaha... ok 3 were internal customers. The other 2 were real public! This was my first time doing a public reading.. so you can imagine how nervous i was... Man, was i glad... that it turned out all well.... What touched me most was the last reading i did for a lady in a IT/Sales field... The feedback she gave after the reading was very encouraging and motivating..... (what was interesting was that, her cards outcome will in negative light but she took it to stride and look forward in overturning the table) it simply spurs me on....

Pal, if you happen to be reading this blog... keep me posted ya! Would love to hear from you... you know who you are.....

Anything else?

Ethics :

Anything relating to financial, legal & hesalth, it is always better to get a professional advise...

Me nor the cards will make the decision for ya... am only here to nudge/to advise... or to provide entertainment (as my friend would say lol)....

The other thing i wont do is to read for a third party (if he/she is not present).. not very nice to peep into people privacy... if such situation comes up, we will tweak the question abit.....

How can i get a reading?

For time being, i wont be able to provide any email reading.... (though i would love to).. reason being... i need to get this blog going first...

So for those who are keen, you can come down to SMU (flea market) from 20 - 22 June for a reading... Charges is only at $5/- for 15mins ....

What is tarot to me?

To me, if you ask me, i link it to metapsychical studies..

Yes, alot of us used it to predict the future... a tool for fortune telling... but again like what i have say or tell my friends, it is not cast on stones... outcomes/events will change especially if something has been done to it...If you will to ask, will i get a overseas job? The card may show a positive sign.. and you have been doing something about it... ya.. it probably shows the outcome of your effort. Now lets say, u didnt do anything about prior to that, and you are hoping that it will come true..... well, will it happen or not, i dont know.. but chances are slim.. Bottomline is - it can show so much ultimately you have to do the work! Does it help you to make decision? Well, no it doesnt. Rather it can show you options!

Personally, i use tarot as a tool to allow me to assess situation especially when am stuck, or when i need some clearer picture to where am i heading to. To assess my thoughts, my feelings, my behaviour etc... so far, it has never fail me... it only enrich me!

A beginning journey with Tarot

I am a avid fan in tarot. Enjoy having reading done by a reader and doing the reading .... Over the years, i sharpen the skills by attending workshop, reading up on tarot books, forum etc and importantly doing tarot reading for friends/family and colleagues intuitively.

When did i start this hobby? Lets say i started falling in love with tarot 3 or 4 years back... the pictures on the card, the symbol, history etc and prolly the readers that intrigue my curiousity... And i guess it got to do with my late maternal grandpa... You see, when he was alive, he read with playing cards - he had this in born gift. So i guess it is his special way in connecting with me.

Decks - lets see, i have quite a few.. The Fey, Lovers Tarot, Universal Waite, Hanson Roberts etc.. Recently, i have started using Hanson Roberts deck to read... kinda cool...
