We actually wanted to stay over next weekend but I mentioned we need to do the "move in ceremony" so went online to search if there's a auspicious date. The only weekend date that is auspicious is Sat 19 Oct 2013, so very last minutes we decided to make a weekend stay over.
After work on Fri 18 Oct we went to purchase all the necessary stuff for the "move in ceremony". Found the list of stuff online and the meaning behind it. Wake up at 8.30am and went supermarket to purchase outstanding stuff and rush over to new house. It was really very rush and only manage to reach new house at 11am.
We open all doors and windows to allow the flow of energies and light up and turn on water pipes, gas and electrical appliances in order to declare the preparedness and perfect function of your new home. Put a kettle over the stove to boil.
Then I go into the kitchen with the five essentials to ensure a stable supply of food on the table. They are a bottle each of cooking oil, soy sauce and vinegar plus a packet of salt and sugar. Place fresh fruits comprising Oranges (for prosperity), Apples (for safety), Pineapple (for good fortune), Pomegranate (for opportunities) and Peaches (for good health). Couldn't find Pomegranate so we brought pomegranate juice. haha Also to place Prosperity Cakes （发糕） for good luck!
