IT WAS POURING WITH RAIN WHEN HON TIAN HAUR DROVE ME TO LILLIAN TOO'S MANSION WHICH IS ACROSS THE ROAD FROM HER DAUGHTER JENNIFER TOO'S GRAND HOME.
Hon Tian Haur looked worried and asked if Jennifer Too's annual Chap Goh Meh party will be a wash-out as some tables are laid out in her garden.
I tittered as I admonished foolish Hon Tian Haur. "Hello, we are another 20 minutes to go before reaching her house. The rain will stop by then! Jennifer and Lillian Too enjoy great feng shui and are devoted Tibetan Buddhists and the gods will ensure there will not be a downpour to spoil Chap Goh Meh!"
True enough, the clouds cleared and every leaf and flower were freshly cleansed by the time we arrived!
As it is, 2016 severely lacks the Water element and now we had plenty of heaven-sent water which came in cascades and ended when the party began by 7.30 pm! And on the last and 15th day of Monkey Year too!
What an auspicious start to Chris Yeo and Jennifer Too's Chap Goh Meh which was a delightful and delicious success!
HON TIAN HAUR WHO WORRIED THE RAIN MIGHT RUIN JENNIFER TOO AND CHRIS YEO'S CHAP GOH MEH PARTY AND DATO KEE HUA CHEE WHO HAD TOTAL FAITH IN LILLIAN TOO'S FENG SHUI LUCK!
TRUE ENOUGH, HON TIAN HAUR WAS WRONG AND DATO KEE HUA CHEE'S FAITH IN LILLIAN TOO'S FENG SHUI PROVED WELL-FOUNDED!
