【SEA Entering the Second Inning】
The SEA startup ecosystem is now a decade in the running. In these 10 years, we've seen 12 unicorns emerge, one of which Sea Group managed to leave the stable and IPO on the NYSE--the first ASEAN startup to do so.

Most of these companies date back to the early beginnings of the ecosystem where there was a void of resources, whether it was talent, capital, or government support. Yet, beyond all odds, companies like Grab and GO-JEK have completely revolutionized the way people go about living their daily lives in SEA and in the process elicited the interests global powerhouses from Google to Tencent to KKR--overall giving new meaning to Southeast Asia as an investment destination.

And the region shows no signs of slowing down. "This year, ASEAN tech startups are on pace for about 160 exits of all types. That’s nearly triple the 2011 figure of 59, and we expect over 700 during the 3-year period of 2023-25, an average of more than 230 per year," according to GGV's Lauria.

The region's first generation of unicorns have spawned an entirely new generation of eager entrepreneurs in the making. And with an internet economy estimated to exceed $300 billion by 2025, the opportunities are ripe for the taking.

《人與房屋之間》
Between Man and His Abode (English version below)

一個人臉上，氣色的好與不好，取決於她他住的地方，是否有地靈。即地氣也。若一個人住在一塊「平平無奇」的土地上，不要說她他的長相，她他的一生也有如，她他所住在的這塊土地，一樣的「平平無奇」。這乃是地靈人傑的關係。要知道，長白山與高麗國（韓國古時候所稱），的人蔘爲何是極品，因當地的水木之氣佳厚，所以才得以出產，這上等的人蔘啊！

吾，玳瑚師父，實實在在的告訴大家，人如其屋，屋如其人這句話，半點也不假。吾，玳瑚師父，希望所有的堪輿師，所有此道的愛好者，一定要深明此話，這樣才能夠把一間屋宅給堪好。就算妳你是位不諳此道者，也應該認知此話，趨吉避凶、反敗爲勝、利己利她他，絕非難事。當我們住進一間宅地，興旺與否，很多時候，不出半年就可自然的覺察到。因爲，我們與屋宅，是互吸彼此的氣的。兩者的陰陽電，若無太大的排斥，住的人就沒多問題。兩者的陰陽電，若有所排斥，住的人就會出現諸多的違和。這是非常肯定的。

「風水」這兩個字是什麼？它真有這麼神奇嗎？它是不是一種迷信而已？「風水」這兩個字，其實已一言道破了，生存根本就離不開「風」和「水」。它即是我們人類，甚至一切生物，生存所需的空氣與水。窮人住的地氣佳厚的土地上，轉貧爲富。不孕的婦人，住於聚氣土地上，立馬有孕。歹人住於來龍端正的土地上，改邪歸正，等等等。妳你說神不神奇？妳你現在用母指與食指，捏住自己的鼻子，另外一手則摀住自己的口，若妳你還能活，妳你說「風水」是迷信，這時人們就不會再有任何異議。（一笑）

想要擁有一間吉屋、旺屋，以下這些要素，是不能不注意，及細心分辨的：

一，房屋建在哪一方。
二，房屋的路名、街號、巷號。
三，大牌、門牌號碼及樓層。
四，人屋配卦。
五，擇日時動工裝潢新居。
六，擇日時入伙。

以上的六件事，是賜於不信也不想看風水的人，欲想擁有吉屋、旺屋的忠告。倘若連這六件事，妳你都懶得去進行的話，吉屋、旺屋很難會實現在妳你的生命裡。至於信風水及想看風水的人，以上的六件事，祇是基本的要素而已。人與房屋之間，還含蓋著更深一層的「關係」，緣成自會幫妳你處理。

.....................

The aura on the face of a person is determined by the presence of good earth energy in the place he stay. If the house sits on a piece of land with insignificant earth energy, his look and even life's fortune would reflect that of the house, listless and lifeless. Top talents are borne out of lands with superior earth energies. One needs to know, the reason why the ginseng in Chang Bai Shan and Goryeo (the ancient name of Korea) are premium grade, is because the lands in which they are cultivated possess an abundance of excellent water and wood energies, hence producing first-class ginseng!

Master Dai Hu shall tell everyone honestly that the phrase "A man is like his abode, and likewise his abode is like its occupant" is the whole truth. I hope for all Feng Shui practitioners or hobbyists to make it a must to have a deep comprehension of this phrase, so that they can perform a thorough and quality Feng Shui audit.

Even if you are not a believer of Feng Shui, you should also understand this phrase. To welcome good fortune and ward off disaster, turn a likely defeat into a victory, and bring benefits to others and yourself, all these are not difficult tasks.

When we move into a new abode, many a time, within 6 months, we will naturally be aware if the new house is prosperous or not. Because there is a mutual suction of each other's Yin and Yang energies, between us and our own house.

If there is no major repulsion, there shall be minimal problem for the occupant. If there is repulsion in the Yin and Yang energies, the occupants will experience much misfortune. I am absolutely sure of this.

What do these two Chinese characters 風水 (Feng Shui) mean? Is it really that mystical? Isn't it just a form of superstition? Well, the Chinese characters of Feng Shui, (meaning Wind and Water respectively) already tell you half of the matter. Our survival is greatly dependent on the Wind and the Water. These elements represent the air and water, much needed by humans and all living creatures to survive.

A poor man will turn wealthy if he lives on a land of abundant fine earth energy.

A female who has difficulty getting pregnant will be able conceive immediately, if she lives on a similar land.

A person with evil traits can turn over a new leaf, when he stays on a piece of land with a proper connecting pulse of earth energy, etc.

Don't you think it is amazing? Now, you can use your thumb and index finger to pinch your nose, the other to cover your own mouth. If you are not dead from air deprivation, people will now no longer have any objection when you say Feng Shui is a superstition. (laughs)

Please pay careful attention to the below pointers, if you wish to have an auspicious abode and prosperous home:

1. The facing direction of the house.
2. Name of the road, street number and avenue number.
3. Block number, unit number and floor number.
4. Whether the directions of the home matches the owner's needs.
5. Selection of an auspicious date to begin renovation.
6. Selection of an auspicious date to move in.

The 6 pointers listed above are specially meant as advice for people who do not believe in Feng Shui, and refuse to do a Feng Shui audit, yet desire for an auspicious and prosperous house to live in. If you are too lazy to take care of these 6 issues, it is very difficult for an auspicious and prosperous home to actualise in your life.

For the other group of people who believe in Feng Shui and would like to do a Feng Shui audit, these 6 pointers are the basic requirements. The relationship between a man and his abode has a deeper connection that you think. I shall help you handle this once the affinity is ripe.

《蓄水即聚財》
Storing Water Is Akin To Accumulating Wealth
(English version below)

堪輿一道，非常重視納水，而所納的水，一定要是吉水。若所納的水，是破局水，即凶水也，災殃也就隨後而至。但願同好者，在替人點地時，多加謹慎為好。有人說，山管丁，水管財。其實這是不一定的，山也可以管財，水也可以管丁。水是環抱著山的，水是隨著山宛延而行的，有山一定有水，有水一定有山，此為陰陽二氣。有山無水謂為假龍，蓋人體若無血液，人無法活也。

山川的大智慧，本就博大精深。那些不用腦筋、不下苦工的人，一輩子就甭想學會堪輿學。正所謂：能看的就看門道，不能看的就看熱鬧。前些日子，就有位「入世已深」，又「俗理俗氣」的姊兒，撥電給吾，「指示」吾多寫一些，簡單易懂的文章，如：應該買何種名牌、女性的眉形應該是何種較佳，等等。吾聽後笑呵呵的對她說，世上有用腦筋，及不用腦筋的人。因此，吾的文章實不能偏重一方。吾，玳瑚師父由衷的祝福她，腦筋早日「操作正常」，以免日後成為其親生子女的笑柄。

「山水」，不是只在深山綠林中才有。它其實在妳你家中，亦可有之。吾相信，所有內行人，絕對曉得吾這句話之含意。亡者的家叫陰宅，生者的家叫陽宅。無論陰宅或陽宅，都要求丁財富貴、功名仕途。陰宅風水在深山綠林中，山和水隨處皆有。但陽宅風水，就得靠真功夫的巧設了。他日因緣成熟時，再配合妳你的誠意邀請，妳你風水上的「愁雲」，將由吾來幫妳你「拂去」。

財為養命之物，但千萬不可將之私藏。 反而應該慷慨解囊，以免下一代或孫輩中，會出現敗家子，那就富不過一代或兩代囉！很多人都忽略家中，衛生間水桶裡的水。告訴妳你，這桶水就是妳你朝思暮想的財啊！每天臨睡前，記得到衛生間，檢察一下水桶裏的水，是否有蓄滿八分，這是玳瑚師父再賜福給妳你，要知道蓄水即聚財。

In the field of geomancy, great importance is placed on the ability to harness the energy of water. The water harnessed must be of auspicious nature. If the water energy harnessed is damaged, that is inauspicious and disasters would follow. I hope fellow practitioners would be extra cautious, when doing site selection for their clients. People says that the mountains govern the descendants while the water holds the key to wealth. Fact is, this is not absolute. Mountains can also govern the wealth, while water can also influence the descendants. Water always surrounds the mountain, and travels along the mountain valleys. There is always water in the presence of mountain, and vice versa. This is know as the dual energies of Yin and Yang. If there is a mountain but no water, it is a false dragon. A simple analogy: if a human body has no blood circulation, there can be no life in the man.

The mountains and rivers offer great wisdom that is both broad and profound. For those who are not willing to use their brains and work their socks off, they can forget about learning the art of geomancy in this lifetime. As the Chinese saying goes, "The adept recognizes the artistry, the layman simply enjoys the show.". Recently, a lady who is very "worldly" and deeply-seated in this secular world, rang me to "instruct" me to write more articles that could be comprehended easily. She suggested topics like what luxury brands should a person purchase, what is the best shape of eyebrows for the women, etc. I responded with a slight laugh, and told her that there are two kinds of people in this world - those who use their brains, and those who do not. Therefore, my articles cannot just appeal to one kind. I sincerely wishes her to regain "normal functions" of the brain, so that she would not become the laughing stock of her own children in the future.

Mountains and streams do not just exist in the deep mountains and green forests. In fact, you will find them in your own home. I believe my counterparts would absolutely understand the meaning behind my words. The home of the deceased is known as the Yin house. The home of the living is known as the Yang house. Regardless of their nature, they both hope for descendants, wealth, fortune, high positions in the career and social standings. The mountains and waters are everywhere in the deep forest to locate a good spot for Yin residence. However, when it comes to the Yang residence, you will need real prowess to do ingenious formation. When the affinity is ripe one day, and upon your sincere invitation, I shall help you to sweep away the "gloomy clouds" of bad Feng Shui in your house.

Wealth is a mean of life preservation, but you must not hoard it for your own selfish gains. You should be generous with your wealth to help others, and prevent the sorry fate of having a wastrel and prodigal in your children or grandchildren, or your wealth will be squandered away within the next generation or two! Many people neglect that bucket of water in their bathrooms. Let me tell you this: that pail of water holds the key to the wealth, which you have been dreaming of! Make this a ritual: Everyday before you go to bed, please check if the bucket in your bathroom is filled with water, at least to the 80% mark. This is the blessing Master Dai Hu bestows upon you again, for you must know the storing of water signifies wealth accumulation.
