無論何時，目前在Youtube上有42個我在談論著如何能有個更好的命運。
我在2019年六月底開始了每星期上傳影片。那是在開始了頻道兩年後。
在2019年七月，我在快拍中請讀者投票，問他們認為我能否在年底前達到一千個訂閱。
在投票的七位讀者當中，一致認為我能，有幾位還留言鼓勵我。
結果，我遲了65天。
但在我達到一千訂閱後，頻道在數天內就破兩千。
感謝那七位讀者相信我匹黑馬。 ❤️
我頻道突然的崛起起源於今年2月17日。一位先生在香港的論壇分享了我一隻舊片，鼓勵男士們戒邪淫。
這分享帶來了一批新的觀眾，95%都是男士。
對，就是那隻一位男士用很粗俗的語言分享在新加坡論壇的影片。目前有約一百千流量。
Youtube 看到這流量的高漲，便以它那全能的演算法把那影片推出去給更多用戶。
突然之間，我的頻道就湧進了更多的男觀眾，大多來自於台灣、馬來西亞和中國。
欸，不是說Youtube在中國被禁嗎？ 😏
這對我來說是好消息，因為如果你有跟進我的快拍，你會知道我在二月底的時候，有嘗試在B站開個頻道。我也有開個微博，但我的影片不通過審核，理由是封建及鼓勵迷信。
原來老天有其他的安排。
我一向比較喜歡當面見客人。因為最近的疫情，起初我還在想會不會少些客人來找我，或被客人取消諮詢。
結果沒這回事。
反而還收到國外客人詢問，我是否能越洋為他們批八字。我也即將首次在為在紐西蘭的客人以視訊方式批八字。
但這裡是人間，凡事都有一體兩面。
有隨著名氣增長的光鮮亮麗，也自然會有 🤬 一面。
有位觀眾誤會我是台灣人，很不禮貌地留言說我使用英文，顯得對自己的文化沒自信。言語中影射我想討好洋人。
兄弟，若我對自己的文化沒有自信，堂堂一個新加坡國立大學的大學生何必跑來當風水師呢？你以為被人取笑迷信很過癮嗎？
還有，不是說好華語的華人就是台灣人。在新加坡，也有會說好華語的人。
就算我是在影片中用英語的台灣人，請記得：我們人類是一體的。佛法和中華玄學的宗旨都是為了拔除人類的苦難，從來就不是為了服務一個種族而立的。
我們先祖有的大愛和遠見，是你必須學習的。
當然也不乏猥褻的留言。有位男觀眾留言說我瞎談，要把他的精蟲射在我臉上。
沒本事好好辯論，就用精子隊。你要從你國家射到新加坡嗎？好厲害的火箭 🚀。但你要公平啊，也給大家看看你的照片，好讓大家為你鼓掌鼓掌。👏👏👏
我把這事告訴我師父，他很有智慧地說：叫他留給他的後代吧。
開玩笑以外......
我只是想讓你知道，我們過去所面對的一切，必定會幫助我們能更好的應付我們未來的挑戰。
童年時，母親脾氣不好，我常挨打挨罵，忍了二十六年，才出嫁離開那個家。
在新航還是新人時，我常被一位資深的同事找碴欺負了兩年。我從未對上頭舉報。
但事情惡化到連組長都看出。有一次在洛杉磯時，他安排了全組會議，當面質問那位同事她怎麼老是找我麻煩。
看到這些突如其來的酸民時，我先生問我是否還好。我說和我以前的經歷相比，這沒什麼。如果一昧只要人家喜歡自己，也是個妄念。
小時候在學校時，我常和男生打架。真的是那種拳打腳踢、甩巴掌、拉頭髮、扯校服的那種。當然也少不了各種語言的粗話和手勢。
女大十八變，長大後我自然變得比較端莊，只是沒想到當年的勇猛，對已年過四十的我還能受用. 😂
2006年外婆過世時，我曾發願要弘揚佛法和玄學利益有緣眾生，以求外公外婆能業消福增、往生淨土。
十四年了，我雖有點慢，但好玩的事才剛剛開始。
感謝我頻道的兩千多名訂閱，及你們鼓勵性的留言。
也感謝我的臉書朋友，多年來給予我這安全的空間成長，長出一雙強壯的翅膀來甩一下那些不尊重女性的呆子。 😁
請伴隨著我，朋友，看看我們一起能翱翔得多高！❤️

Today - 2000 subs
At any time of the day, there are now 42 of me talking on YouTube about what it takes to live a better Destiny.
I started weekly YouTube uploads in end June 2019. That is 2 years after my channel started.
In July 2019, I did a poll in my Stories, asking my readers if they thought I would hit 1K subs by end of the year.
Of the 7 who voted, they all think I would. Some of them even dropped me PMs of confidence.
I was late by 65 days.
But as soon as I hit 1000 subs, my channel crossed the 2K mark in a matter of few days.
Thank you to the 7 readers who saw the dark horse in me. ❤️
This uprise in my channel started on 17 Feb 2020, when a gentleman shared my old video on a Hong Kong forum, to encourage abstinence from sexual misdeeds.
It brought in a wave of viewers, 95% men.
Yeah, that same video that some dude shared on a Singapore forum in a crass way. Got about 100K views now.
YouTube recognised the upsurge and pushed my video to more of its users with its almighty algorithm.
And out of a sudden, I have an influx of male audience from mainly Taiwan, Malaysia and... China.
Eh, thought Youtube banned in China? 😏
This is good news because if you follow my stories, you will know that in end Feb, I tried starting a channel in Bilibili (China’s younger version of Youtube). I also opened a Weibo account.
But my videos didn’t pass their stringent checks and were dismissed as superstitious and feudal. #whattheduck
Turned out that Heaven had other plans for my channel.
I always prefer meeting my clients in person and initially wondered if I will have a drop in clients or cancellations of consultations with the current epidemic situation.
Didn’t happen.
I get requests for video calls and will be doing one for the first time to New Zealand.
But there’s always two sides to a coin.
The ooh-la-la side of increased popularity,
And the 🤬 side.
I was mistaken to be a Taiwanese, and got a snide remark that me using English shows a lack of confidence in my culture and me wanting to win over the Westerners.
Eh bro, no confidence in my culture, I NUS graduate what for become Feng Shui practitioner? You think fun to be laughed superstitious meh? 🤔
Also, not all who speak good Mandarin must be Taiwanese. There are Singaporeans who can also speak good Mandarin. #weareSingaporeweareSingapore
Even if I’m a Taiwanese and choose to use English in my videos, remember this: We are all inter-dependent. Chinese Metaphysics and Buddhism were never meant to serve only one breed of humans.
Our ancestors have much bigger love and foresight than that. Learn from them.
There were also lewd comments like a man who said I’m bluffing and wanted to shoot his semen on my face.
Wah, cannot debate properly, resort to using sperm army.🏆
Shoot from your country to Singapore? You sure have a powerful rocket. Come, let’s be fair. Show us photos of yourself and let everyone clap for you this champion.
👏👏👏
I told my Shifu about this. His wise words: tell him to save it for his offspring.
Jokes aside...
I just want you to know whatever we face in the past always help us to handle our future challenges better.
I received very bad beatings and scoldings from my mum as a kid, because of her foul temper. I endured for 26 years before I married.
When I was in SQ, as a junior, I was constantly being picked at (aka bullied) for 2 years by a senior colleague. I never once complained to my supervisor.
But things got so obvious and serious, that our team inflight supervisor held a team meeting during our Los Angeles stay over, to ask the colleague what was wrong with her.
When the husband asked if I was okay with the sudden naysayers, I replied that this was nothing compared to what I had been through. It is also delusional to expect everyone to like what I do.
Also, I used to get into fights with boys in school. Yeah, really the kick, slap, punch, pull hair, pull school uniform kind. Plus colourful vulgarities and hand gestures in all languages.
I had grown more demure since, just never thought that gung-ho side will be useful as a content creator in my 40s. 😂
I made a vow in 2006 when my grandmother passed away. That I would propagate Buddhism and Chinese Metaphysics to benefit sentient beings. So that she and my grandpa would be reborn in the Pureland.
It had been 14 years.
I’m a bit slow, but the fun is just beginning.
Thank you to my 2K+ subs and all the encouraging comments you left me.
Thank you to my FB friends, who have given me this safe space to grow my wings so strong that I can whack fools who disrespect women. 😁
Stay with me, my friend. Let’s see how high we can soar together. ❤️
