                  | DAY 3 & 4: Up The Mountain |

                        | What other perfect way to kick off the study of Landforms 
                          than a trip to the mountains? Walking the Mountains 
                          is an invaluable part of any Feng Shui student’s 
                          journey to becoming a Master and the students of the 
                          Mastery Academy had a chance to immediately put into 
                          effect the orientation session on landforms and formulas 
                          from the afternoon before during the journey to Genting 
                          Highlands, a popular Malaysian tourist resort destination 
                          located in the state of Pahang famous for its casino. |   Joey

                  | As we ascended, some students started putting their 
                            knowledge into practice as they noticed the “Bei 
                            Chen” (North Guardian Mountain) star guarding 
                            the Qi Mouth to the Luo Cheng of the Genting Resort.

                            | The bus arrived shortly before lunchtime and following 
                              lunch, the students immediately ascended to the 
                              18th floor, where they were afforded a panoramic 
                              360 degree vista of the resort.There was some concern 
                              as to whether or not the students would be able 
                              to see anything as a heavy mist was evident as the 
                              bus arrived. But as students of BaZi would put it, 
                              the Gui was soon dissipated by a beautiful Bing 
                              (translation for non-Bazi students: the sun came 
                              up and the mist melted away!). Leaving students 
                              with the opportunity to observe the layout of the 
                              resort and the surrounding landforms. |  |

 | The view were spectacular from the 18th floor. 
                            Students were instantly able to recognise the San 
                            Tai Feng, Yuan Bao formation and Ju Men veins , which 
                            conformed to the San Ji Liu Shou principles that had 
                            been explained in class earlier. They also learned 
                            to see the actual formations as detailed in the classics 
                            of Re Di Yan and Xue Xin Fu in a real life example.

                            | Genting Highlands is a classical example of a 
                              resort built within a powerful landform structure. 
                              The surrounding mountains provide protection from 
                              gusting wind (for as the classics note, Qi is dispersed 
                              by Wind) and the resort is built within a spiral 
                              city. 
 The resort is located in a “High-Level Dragon” 
                              (Gou Guang Long). As such, no apparent “water” 
                              formulas were needed since in “High Level 
                              Dragon” Tian Chi or Heaven Pool water formation 
                              is what helps the dragon vein form meridian spots.

 | The dragon vein of Genting Highlands forms various 
                          Chastity star forms which are correctly tapped to using 
                          the structural design of the buildings. The land embrace 
                          holds various Shimmering Stars (Yao Xing) circulating 
                          excellent Qi in the building area. Students also noted 
                          that the landform complies to the Ling Zheng, Zheng 
                          Yang Zheng Yin as well as the 24 Tian Xing principles. |  |

                        | The focus of Genting was to remind students 
                          that when it comes to macro sized projects, like casinos 
                          and business districts, it’s the BIG PICTURE that 
                          counts. The big structure. The landform. And not the 
                          water holes or small water exits found next to drains 
                          and pathways. Even veteran students who had been to 
                          Genting on many previous occasions came away with many 
                          new insights and a whole new perspective on the Feng 
                          Shui of Genting Highlands, thanks to Joey’s careful 
                          and detailed explanation of the Luan Tou of the area. |  San

                    approach for the classical topic. A big thank you to you and 
                    your team for making this course possible." - Leong

                    in-depth research and your unselfish teachings on Feng Shui 
                    which truly gave me a real perspective of what this metaphysic 
                    science is all about. Thank you Joey, master and friend, for pushing me to this 
                    level and teaching me how to walk my passion. You are a real 
                    "Guru" in this super-multi Feng Shui Corridor in 
                    Malaysia or around the world. We love you always."

  "Thank you Joey for this great course. I am starting 
                    to understand the whole concept, checking the essential first 
                    and not getting lost in minor details. I finally know the 
                    background of the formulas, which I believe, will make my 
                    future much easier. It was a pleasure to listen to all your 
                    comments. My perspective has changed." - Elisabeth 
                    Stuker"I am very, very fortunate for all the Feng Shui knowledge 
                  and wisdom Joey generously imparted and shared with us; all 
                  of would have taken many lifetimes to acquire." - Weng

  "I am really very happy to be able to attend this 
                    class. It has really given me a new insight into the real 
                    world of Feng Shui. And to be able to do it on a mega scale. 
                    Not many people have the chance to do it.My appreciation to Master Joey for this unselfish manner in 
                    providing to all the formulas and answers to our queries.
 Best of all, at least I know I didn't have to go around chasing 
                    for directions and unnecessary formulas. I look forward to 
                    attending more courses with Joey because I know I am in good 
                    hands." - Jerry Koh
