Staff Cecil Lee Posted April 3, 2002 Staff Share Posted April 3, 2002 Dear Yumeko,1. Usually, it is advisable not to do anything prior to the `symbolic move'.2. However, the customs differ greatly. And some may:-2.1 Sprinkle rice and/or salt.2.2 Some bring in a pair of mandarin oranges (where the oranges represent gold).Frankly, majority simply go in and open the door when one get's the key.As mentioned, if one wants to do a `ritual' or first time opening of the door, one can do nothing or any of the above or more.In my opinion besides rice and/or salt; there are too many variations e.g. placement of Red Packets (ang pow); purchase of `Huat Quay'Warmest Regards,Cecil Quote On 4/2/2002 10:32:00 AM, Anonymous wrote:Hi Cecil,Read so much on the ritualswhen moving into a new house.Is there any particularrituals when first timestepping into a bare new houseafter getting the key fromHDB?Do we also need to select anauspisous date for that?Regards,Yumeko Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted June 30, 2023 Staff Share Posted June 30, 2023 First Time Open Door Quention: Salt, grains and tea leaves for the corners needed for new house? Salt and tea leaves may get damp. And salt is acidic get the idea? What a wonderful marble floor! But too bad if tea leaves becomes damp and leaves a permanent mark! IS FREE!
