Kau Cim Fortune Telling sticks vagabondjourney.com
Kau Cim or Kau Chim is a fortune telling practice that is said to have been derived by the Yellow Emperor, the euhemerized founder of Chinese civilization, somewhere between the time he was teaching people how to build shelters, domesticate animals, and sow grain, and inventing Chinese Medicine, the bow sling, math, a calendar, a code of laws, the Chinese writing system, and a version of football. This just means that Kau Cim fortune telling is old — so old that its origins have long been lost to time, which generally means that the Chinese have been practicing it for the past three or four thousand years.
This fortune telling method consists of asking a question to an oracle, often in a Taoist or Buddhist temple before an alter. This is generally done by bowing in prayer and asking a question to the deity whose statue you’re in front of, either whispered or aloud.
Once the prayer and asking have been completed you then pick up a cylinder of 100 flat bamboo fortune sticks and shake it at an angle to the ground so that one eventually falls out upon the floor. Each stick has a number inscribed on it, and no two sticks in a set are the same. The number on each stick corresponds to a particular fortune.

Once your stick is chosen, you then toss a pair of jiaobei blocks upon the floor. These blocks are made from wood or bamboo and are carved into a crescent shape, and are used to answer yes/ no type questions. One side of each block is round (representing yin), and means “no,” and the other side is flat (representing yang), and means “yes.” An affirmative response results from a toss where one flat side and one round side faces up. A negative answer comes when both round sides are up. If both flat sides face up at you it is generally thought that the Gods are having a laugh at your expense or you asked a silly question that you already know the answer to.

After you have the responses to your question you then need to have it interpreted. The number on the Kau Cim stick that you drew corresponds with a fortune that’s printed upon a piece of paper. Though what it says often needs to be interpreted by a specialist — a fortune teller or a priest — as it is written in poetic form and can come off as cryptic, especially since the characters can have multiple meanings. The fortunes generally cover a one year period, starting at the lunar new year, and if the fortune is one of the 100 in the Guan Yin lexicon, it will read something like this:
Live in the wilderness with only the ravens as friends.
Know yourself and do not envy others’ wealth.
Everybody’s capable of finding their own bread.
But nobody gets to see the whole world.
A modern interpretation will then be provided by a priest or the fortune teller, who adapts the response to meet the parameters of the question.

Getting back into shape after Chinese New Year myactivesg.com Sport Singapore
So, it’s back to the work grind for most of us after the first three days of Chinese New Year celebrations. Chances are, most of us may have overindulged in the many sinful festive goodies over the holidays while visiting our friends and relatives.
Of course, there's no harm in enjoying these calorie-laden delights once in a while, and it’s hard to reject when your well-meaning grandparent or great grand uncle stuffs you with more and more food. But with that behind us now, it’s time to get back into shape with these tips from ActiveSG!
Do not go into extreme dieting
One can easily lose weight by lowering carbohydrate intake, but when it becomes extreme, there is also the risk of losing lean muscle mass and a decrease in metabolism rates, which are undesirable.
Pick up where you left off
If you were following a diet and workout plan before the festive season, resume it! This will help you get back in shape at a moderate and healthy pace.
Anaerobic over aerobic exercises
Feeling fat and feel like long distance running will do you some good? Not really. That can make you burn muscle rather than fat. Instead, interval training and sprints over short distances can help you reap more effective results!
Find a workout buddy
Most of us lack motivation when we’re working out alone. With a friend around, exercising becomes a whole lot more fun. Besides, it is not that difficult to find a friend during this period who wants to burn some fats from the feasting as well. So hit the buttons on the phone and start sweating with your friends!
Post-vacation blues wiki
A person may suffer from post vacation blues after returning home or to a normal routine from a long vacation, especially if it was a pleasurable one. The longer a trip lasts, the more intense the post vacation blues may be. This is because after the person returns home, they realize how boring and unsatisfactory their normal lifestyle routine is when compared to the activities he or she did while on their holiday/vacation. It is easier to overcome/adjust to a normal routine the shorter the trip was. Post vacation blues may result in tiredness, loss of appetite, strong feelings of nostalgia, and in some cases, depression. Jet lag may intensify the post vacation blues.
