From What i remember during my opening door. If you intend to find a FSM to see your house fengshui, then let the FSM find a good date for you to open door. If you does not intend to find FSM. Ask your IN-LAWS or PARENTS they might know more. FROM what i know this coming SAT(15/8/09) is a "CHEN RI" which is consider to be good date. 1)You need to see whether the person (生肖) that is involve in this Door opening ceremony is clashing on that day. If clashes, either you need to find another date or that person don't involve that day, but the owner staying there must involve on that day. You could find the information on the Chinese Calendar. 2) Things that need to prepare are: (Not in order) i) KAM BOON HIONG & Burner to contain the KAM BOON HIONG. Need to use it to smoke your whole house, including every corner of your house, toilet also) Make sure that all window is close) ii) FIVE ORANGE ,FIVE APPLE, ONE HUAT KUEY, ONE PINEAPPLE. iii) CONTAINER FOR Burning incense paper. (Empty Milo Tin will do) iv) FIVE container for joss stick and candle, used to "拜four corner" and one put in the center (Empty Milk tin will do) v) INCENSE PAPER (Need to check with your IN-LAWS or incense shop, they would tell you what to buy) vi) When opening the door must say "HUAT ah" Procedure still have to check to be more detail.

I collected the key but i havent gone there. Now the house is vacant. can advice me. millions thanks. parents dont know. i think u mean "KAM BOON HIONG", from what i know. 1. "KAM BOON HIONG" is mainly use to chase away insect, crockroaches and pest. 2. Some ppl use it to chase away the "uninvited guest" 3. As the smell is quite overpowering, it would get rid of the smell (vacant for sometimes) Most ppl fume their house on the day of opening door. (Must choose a good date) After placing the offering in your living room, four corner + center of your living room. Then start to fume your house (with window close, so that the fume would be trapped in your house.) insect also no where to run. Depend on your dialect, may have different procedure Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
