Carp Jumping Over Dragon Gate (鲤鱼跃龙门)

Everyone loves legends and stories, so do I.

Have you heard about "Carp Jumping Over Dragon Gate  (鲤鱼跃龙门)" then?

Well, today, I will share with you about this interesting Chinese mythology.

Dragons and fish are very much well-loved by the Chinese as dragons signify power, wisdom, strength, and hidden knowledge and fish signifies abundance and affluence. And for carp to be able to jump over dragon gate, what does that mean?

Carp can be the transformation of dragons and they do have the opportunities to do so! However, it would not be so easy to achieve as they will need to overcome a huge challenge. The challenge came in the form of the Dragon Gate, which was on the top of a waterfall cascading from a legendary mountain. And if any of them managed to do so, they would be instantly transformed into dragons and flew towards the sky!

Just imagine yourself as a carp. Will you give up upon the thought of swimming upstream against the strong current or a couple of failures, thus giving up your biggest dream? And even if you manage to swim upstream and am in front of the dragon gate, will you have enough strength and courage left to make that final leap?

Well, "carp (not crap) jumping over dragon gate" is the Chinese cultural symbol for courage, perseverance, and accomplishment. It used to be an expression to describe one's success in passing the extremely difficult imperial examinations. We do not have imperial examinations now, but we are given tests and examinations in our lives. 

Would you like to be like the carp that magically becomes the dragon in the sky or the carp who is contented swimming in the river? Would you want overcome the obstacles in your life and unleash your full potential this lifetime or you do not mind being a pushover by challenges in life?

Lotus On Water Gallery has an awesome piece of jadeite pendant which I am wearing now and it is known as Heaven and Earth Taiji Fish Jadeite Pendant / Double Fish Jadeite Pendant. It is actually 2 pieces of jadeite that come together and form the shape of Yin and Yang.

I personally think the philosophy of yin and yang, together with this "carp jumping over dragon gate" expression (and of course, the beauty of the pendant) suits me and calls out to me, as if it is the answer to the question of "Why are you here?" from Mr Kan.

Don't hesitate anymore, we are in the Phase 2  (Heightened Alert) of this pandemic. Do something for yourself and your family. Connect with Lotus on Water today.

Because you are worth being that dragon in your life.

Why Are You Here? - Part III

 Today is exactly 8 months and 12 days after I wore my pendant last September. I personally feel it may just be the right time to share the happenings so far and more on my pendant.

I was talking about how I felt more positive and at peace despite moving into a room in office where the fengshui was really terrible. Things did not just end there. The business situation was very tense for my company last year as there were so much uncertainties in the services we provided even though the entire company stayed very focused and pushed in delivering results.

It was obvious that the results delivered by the sales were less than expectation and this drove the upper management and directors crazy (they were definitely very stressed as well). So crazy that they started to implement a 7-day working week and of course, those who stood up against this were told off rudely. Some left, some stayed.

I went ahead and put in that extra effort to report every 2 hourly on top of the daily tasks even on weekends without complaints. Thinking back, I really have to give myself a pat on the shoulder for pushing on during that period of time. Anyway, back to the work, apparently there was a day which I had to rush some last minute presentation for my CEO which I only got to finish just right before midnight. What I did not expect was the kind of reaction from my direct boss the very next day. 

She called everyone into the meeting room and asked me to dial in immediately from home. Once I got into the meeting, I got dressed down mercilessly in front of the entire team because my report was delayed the day before on the 2-hourly deadline . I was shocked and stunned by the screaming while being apologetic as I knew I was at fault even though I was told to do up the presentation asap. 

In the past, I would have just kept quiet and let it go and tried finding reasons for the other party. Instead, after the call, I calmed down after feeling upset and told myself that I had to let the bosses know my thoughts while acknowledging my fault and apologizing. So, I drafted a note to her and the bosses (but not including the entire team as it would not do my direct boss any good) to share how I felt, why that delay etc. Yes, it was a small matter but somehow, I just felt that I needed to voice out

I am always the nice lady whom some may take advantage of my soft-heartedness and kindness. The bosses were shocked that I voiced it out objectively and the CEO called me immediately and requested to have a chat with me the next day.

Until today, I do not know what my CEO said to my direct boss after the meet-up but I know from that day onwards, my direct boss has toned down a lot not only on me, but also on the rest of the team too. And of cos, I think words get around and the relationships within the 2 departments get even better on the ground level.

My voicing out of my thoughts have perhaps "saved" me and the rest of the team. And no, after wearing the pendant, I do not become more aggressive (haha). Instead, I gain more popularity and foster better relationships with more people. The original me is still there but my mindset and aura and everything seems to be better!

So, your next question should be, "So, why should I get this instead of the rest and who will be suitable to wear the pendant (Heaven and Earth Taiji Fish / Lotus Double Fish jadeite pendant) that you are wearing?"


Well, if you are someone who prefers a pendant with unique design (the craving is in the shape of Yin and Yang to help balance and prosper everything in the life of the lucky owner) + interesting story (I will leave it to the next article on carp jumping over dragon gate) and are looking for an upgraded version of overall enhancement in all aspects of life (especially in relationship, benefactors, then YOU should look at this.

As for whether or not you are suitable to wear this, I will leave to the experts at Lotus on Water Gallery to share with you after having a look into your chart to advise you what is more suitable for you based on your bazi AND what you are looking for as well.

I sincerely hope to see you there one day and urge you to take action now. The longer you wait to start your journey with Lotus, the more regret you will have.

Why Are You Here? - Part II

So, I wrote about what I felt about my life then when I first got to visit Lotus on Water personally (with my husband - his, will be another story which I will share after).

Through the consultation with Mr Kan, I was told that based on my chart, I would require to wear a jadeite with the colors representing Wood and Fire elements. 

So, in general, there are 5 elements in each of our chart (birth chart that is derived from our year, month, date and time of birth). Whatever that your chart is lacking of in terms of elements, you need to enhance that element in your life to balance your life and make it better (and more huat, of course).

I was "lucky" to be lacking in Fire and Wood because the colors that would suit me were purple (fire, also include lavender, red, pink as colors representing fire element) and green (wood) and to me, they were considered colors that I felt ok with. However, even if I did not like the colors, I would still buy the jadeite - I mean, anyone who was willing to part with their money to get a Lotus jadeite would only wanted it to work, the colors would become of the least concern!

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, I felt something was missing in my life all the while - that "something" was definitely the Fire element! Yes, I was lack of zest in everything. My life had been kind of smooth sailing without too much hoo-haas (I was thankfully blessed), so why the need to put in much effort like the rest of the people? I could make do with how my life had been, everything would be just normal.

I did not make the purchase instantly because my husband and I were uncertain if the jadeites would work for us despite the constant flow of excellent reviews (we spent nights reading up the blogs, testimonials, going through every single photos of Lotus on Water in Facebook etc).

But we did make a gamble. A day after the consultation, my husband went back to purchase his first jadeite with my support and the reason was very simple. Since his luck in these two years would be good, why not make full use of the advantage to achieve a greater height in life? Seizing the awesome opportunities would be of utmost importance. 

As for me, since I was already so lack of zest in everything, I thought I did not have to action right away because it was not cheap. And that was definitely a wrong move. Things didn't go terribly wrong for me but I was dealing with some challenges - ranging from work to relationships with family and friends. They were exceptionally draining at times especially during COVID-19 period.

I often wonder if things would be entirely different should I make the decision to buy the jadeite together with my husband. But I would never know. I would never know how my life could have been better and the opportunities as well as happiness that might have accompanying me during the COVID-19 period and beyond.

I finally wore my jadeite on September 2 2020. 2 days before I wore the jadeite, I was told to move into one of the vacant rooms (I have always been wanting to have a room of my own because I work better in a quiet environment) due to safe distancing measures. It wasn't a room with great fengshui because the previous 2 colleagues who were there left in a way. Even though I felt instant pressure and overloading of work ever since I moved into the room and there were times when my energy level was so low that I thought I could not take it anymore, I was kind of reborn internally with the blessing / power from my jadeite. 

If I were to meet with such scenarios in the past, I would have just tendered. But somehow, despite the pressure and hectic working hours, I slowly felt more and more positive about everything. I felt the drive inside me to excel and keep going. Yes, it was draining mentally and physically but something great would come out of my efforts. It was like, the first time ever in my life, I really wanted to strive instead of getting stuck in that "make-do / go-through-the-motion" state in life.

Today marks approximately 1 month after I started to wear my jadeite. Things are moving fast, I am still trying to figure out what my jadeite is up to. My husband and I squabble lesser and lesser because (1) - we have something in common now and of course, more aligned life goals; and (2) - by the time we remove our jadeites before we quarrel, we are already not in the mood to kill each other (we make a pact not to argue when we are both wearing our jadeites so as to not affect our previous jadeites). I am more open to agreeing to disagree with my family. I slowly become open and honest with my feelings, opinions and brave to make things that I believe in happen. 

I do not have BIG stories to wow you right now. All I have is my honest thoughts and experience at Lotus. I know it is extremely difficult for many to take the first step to even step into Lotus (the exterior already looks expensive and lavish, actually even more high-end than Hermes in my view) but seriously, what's there to lose? Don't act right away and you won't be able to witness how far you can go in life!

If you are reading this article and have not been to Lotus, I hope you will gather your courage to make an appointment with Lotus on Water. Keep an open mind and no one is going to cut you open if you decide not to buy after the consultation - this I can guarantee. Your decision is going to impact your life and the ones around you directly, not me or anyone else.

Are you ready to give your life a push? Are you ready for happiness, prosperity and abundance of opportunities?

I will be sharing about my choice of jadeite in my next article - it is an amazing piece of jadeite that may be everything you wish for! Stay tuned!


I call this my "Double Fish". What do you think?
