2 AIMS AND OBJECTIVES. This booklet is a simple guide to winding up procedures and should be read with the relevant legislation i.e. the Companies Ordinance, 1984 (as amended) (hereinafter called the Ordinance ) and the Companies (Court) Rules, 1997 (hereinafter called the Rules ). It summarises steps and provides information and procedure that apply to all types of winding up. Please remembe r that if your company is considering for winding up, you should seek appropriate professional advice. INTRODUCTORY REMARKS The term winding up of a company may be defined as the proceedings by which a company is dissolved (i.e. the life of a company is put to an end). Thus, the winding up is the process of putting an end to the life of the company. And during this process, the assets of the company are disposed of, the debts of the company are paid off out of the realized assets or from the contributories and if any surplus is left, it is distributed among the members in proportion to their shareholding in the company. The winding up of the company is also called the liquidation of the company. The process of winding up begins after the Court passes the order for winding up or a resolution is passed for voluntary winding up. The company is dissolved after completion of the winding up proceedings. On the dissolution, the company ceases to exist. So, the legal procedure by which the existence of an incorporated company is brought to an end is known as winding up. 1. LIQUIDATOR A person appointed to carry out the winding up of a company is called liquidator. If the winding up is through Court, the term used for such person is official liquidator. The duties of liquidator include to get in and realise the property of the company, to pay its debts, and to distribute the surplus (if any) among the members. The official liquidator acts under the supervision of the Court, through a recognized reporting system. The following are the general powers of liquidator(s):- 1. To institute or defend any suit, action, prosecution or other legal proceeding, civil or criminal on behalf of the company. 2. To carry on the business of the company so far as may be necessary for the beneficial to it. 3. To pay to the creditors. 4. To make any compromise or arrangement with creditors. 5. To compromise all calls and liabilities to calls, debts and liabilities capable of resulting in debts. 6. To sell the movable and immovable property and things in action of the company by public auction or private contract, with power to transfer to any person or to sell the same in parcels.

To prove, rank and claim in the bankruptcy, insolvency or sequestration of any contributory for any balance against his estate and to receive dividends as a separate debt due from the bankrupt or insolvent in the bankruptcy. 9. To draw, accept, make and endorse any bill of exchange or promissory note in the name and on behalf of the company. 10. To raise on the security of the assets of the company any money. 2. Consequences of winding up Some important consequences of winding up of company are: 2.1 As regards the company itself: winding up does not mean that the company has ceased to exist. The company exists as a corporate entity with all the rights of such entity, with only change that its management and administration is to be carried on through liquidator / liquidators till the final dissolution of the company. 2.2 As regards the shareholders : A new statutory liability as contributories comes into existence. Every transfer of shares or alteration in the status of a shareholder, after the winding up has commenced by the order of the Court, shall unless approved by the liquidator, be void. 2.3 As regards the creditors: i. They cannot file or continue suits against the company, except with the leave of the Court. ii. iii. They cannot proceed with the execution, if they have obtained decrees already. They must lodge their claim and prove their debt before the liquidator. 2.4 As regards the management, on appointment of liquidator, all the powers of the directors, chief executive and other officers, shall cease, except for the purpose of giving notice of resolution to wind up and appointment of liquidator and filing of consent of liquidator etc. 2.5 As regards the disposition of company s property, all such dispositions are void unless with the leave of the Court or the liquidator. 3.

This is going to be a very short post. I found this great foldable template called the magic foldable. It is on teacherspayteachers by Coach Academics. Best of all it is free. I am always looking for different types of foldables and this one is great. When you make it a hidden middle area appears. I am going to use it for a vocabulary study guide for Unit 1 in my 8th grade Pre-Algebra classes. Stressing vocabulary is one of my goals for the upcoming school year. With so many 2nd language learners I want to spend much more time on this. If they don't understand the vocabulary, they can't do the work.

What happened to Qantas' share price?
Qantas is trading 4.8% higher this afternoon at $2.95 per share. The stock has had an excellent run since October last year, during which its share price has more than doubled.
Why are QAN shares rising?
Today's share price rise comes after the airline posted half yearly results that were better than expected. The company announced a return to profit with statutory profit after tax of $204 million, up from a $235 million loss a year earlier.
CEO Alan Joyce said, 'The decisive factor in our best half-year result for four years was our complete focus on the Qantas Transformation program. It's clear that without the impact of transformation, we would not be announcing a profit today.'
What now for Qantas Airways Ltd?
Qantas expects the benefits of its Transformation program to continue through 2015. The company didn't provide full year profit guidance, but it is targeting $675 million of benefits from its cost-cutting program for the full year. This is up from an earlier target of $600 million.

Last Sunday's epic 37 mile run probably told me as much about where my training is at than any other run I've done during this campaign. One week on and I still find it hard to believe just how fresh I felt at the end never mind how far I'd ran and how long I'd been on my feet (unsupported and with a backpack). I appreciate that it wasn't the fastest pace I'd ever ran but it was one hell of a distance.
The following day I managed a 6 mile run around the Town moor. Up until that point I hardly had an ache or pain to speak of. However, 1 mile into that run, as expected, the agony started. I had to really battle hard to keep the run at sub 10 minute mile pace. The faster I went the greater the burn in my quads. I had a rest on Tuesday and managed the same 6 mile run on Thursday albeit 7 minutes quicker. This time the pain was in my calf muscles. On Thursday, I managed a half marathon distance and I'm pleased to report that the pain had gone but there was still evidence of Sunday's run in my rather heavy legs.
I called it a day at 62 miles this week, choosing family time over running this weekend. I'm still very pleased with what has been achieved though with an average distance of 15.5 miles per session. This is way and above what I should be doing at this point in the schedule. I'll be bringing that average down this week with some shorter, hopefully faster, runs.
I'm going to try that 37 mile run again in November. The aim, of course, will be to do it quicker than last week. If that and the following recovery runs go well then I should be ready to try my first attempt at back to back 32 mile runs in January.
All in all this has been a pleasing week and it's done wonders for my ever growing confidence. There is still so much running to do though. This is just the tip of a very very very long iceberg!

Ilene and Ryan had the sweetest intimate wedding at the Haw River ballroom! They were unusual clients for me because I actually only covered one hour of their wedding (family pictures and romantic portraits). Typically, I don't usually offer that kind of coverage (my packages start at 7 hours) but for their situation, one hour ended up working out for various reasons.
Even though I had such a short time to spend with Ilene and Ryan, I had SO much fun! It was very clear that Ilene and Ryan really loved one another and that they were so happy and excited to get married. They also knew how to have fun (see the evidence in some of their photos below!).
Ryan and Ilene told me how blessed they felt to be able to get married at the Haw River ballroom. It's one of their favorite places (and it's one of mine...I've been dying to shoot a wedding there forever!) and they explained that that their family made it possible for them to have an intimate wedding in Saxapahaw!

Mordaunt holds 'productive' meeting with National Crime Agency amid Oxfam sex scandal
Penny Mordaunt has previously threatened to remove Oxfam's funding.
The International Development Secretary met with top law enforcement officials on Thursday to discuss
how vulnerable people receiving charity aid can be protected from sex abuse.
The talks came in the wake of the Oxfam sex scandal, with the charity accused of concealing findings of an inquiry into claims staff used prostitutes while delivering aid in Haiti in 2011.
Penny Mordaunt met with Lynne Owens, Director General of the National Crime Agency, and Home Office officials.
They discussed how to "protect vulnerable people" and how to guarantee "appropriate safeguarding provisions" are in place for charities involved in overseas aid, according to the National Crime Agency.
The agency said the meeting was "productive".
Later on Thursday, the Charity Commission set out the scope of its statutory inquiry, which will probe the charity's case records, its handling of the Haiti allegations and the extent of knowledge of similar allegations against staff in areas such as Chad and Liberia predating Haiti.
The inquiry will also look at the charity's communications with police and other agencies.
Michelle Russell, Director of Investigations, Monitoring and Enforcement at the Charity Commission said: "Acting in the public interest as regulator, this inquiry must and will establish the facts about what the charity knew about events in Haiti in 2011, and how it responded at the time and since."
It came a day after Ms Mordaunt threatened to remove Oxfam's funding, accusing the charity of failing to show moral leadership by not properly informing donors about the actions of its workers.
She said: "No organisation is too big, or our work with them too complex, for me to hesitate to remove funding from them if we cannot trust them to put the beneficiaries of aid first."
On Wednesday evening, Oxfam also revealed that Damien Berrendorf, who served as the charity's country director in Haiti from 2012 to 2017, was dismissed last year following allegations of "mismanagement" and "inappropriate behaviour".
The dismissal was "not related to sexual misconduct", the charity said.
"I know that this apology is by no means enough but I want to offer it unreservedly to our supporters, volunteers, staff and the people of Haiti and Chad for the things that happened in our name. I am so sorry." Read Mark Goldring's full open letter at https://t.co/otmNiqs7ar— Oxfam (@oxfamgb) February 15, 2018
Meanwhile, Glastonbury Festival founder Michael Eavis said he would continue to support the charity.
Speaking at the NME Awards on Wednesday evening, he told the Press Association: "We've raised millions through the years with Oxfam – six million quid and everyone's said what a wonderful charity they are and we still support them.
"And for a few dodgy people – like with the NHS you get a few dodgy doctors and it doesn't discredit the NHS does it? So why should it affect Oxfam?"
Former ambassador Livia Firth, the wife of actor Colin, urged Oxfam to address the abuse but continue its relief work.
She said: "It is appalling to hear the news of the men that have abused the people they were there to help. It's a betrayal of all who put their faith in them: those who most needed their help.
"I still believe that such programmes are necessary. It would be a tragedy to see this relief work and advocacy stopped. For its part Oxfam must address this abuse diligently and transparently.
"Oxfam must do everything in its power to heal the damage to those who depend on both its work and the good faith and generosity of its supporters."

We all know how important first impressions are, right? My first impression of Brilliant Ink has been stellar. I am new to the field, and wanted to share an observation I had on the world of internal communications and the employee experience – especially as someone who's just gone through the interview and hiring process.
It seems that the relationship you have with your job, boss, peers, and office life plays a huge role in how happy you are at work and in life (especially for millennials). Brilliant Ink's mission reminded me of the movie, Hitch. If you're not familiar, the movie is about a "date doctor" who preps men for first dates and educates them on the basic principles of life–smile, listen, ask questions, be nice.
These are basic life principles that the Date Doctor prescribes to his clients. They also hold true for any interviewer trying to attract and win over job candidates. After all, interviewing is a whole lot like dating – and finding the perfect candidate can feel like meeting the love of your life.
1. "About 90% of what you're saying isn't actually coming out of your mouth."
The majority of communication is non-verbal. Focus on your body language and be able to read your interviewees. Be mindful of what message you're sending. Don't cross your arms or check your phone or computer, and pay attention to your tone.
Basic life principles: Shake hands firmly and make eye contact. Don't forget to smile.
2. "Use what you have–if you're shy, be shy. If you're outgoing, be outgoing."
You have to be honest and genuine. It will reduce turnover and the employees that you hire will be happier you didn't deceive them or give them false promises. Brilliant Ink CEO Ann Melinger does an excellent job describing why companies need to stop begging their candidates. Every job is not one-size-fits-all.
Basic life principles: Be honest and don't tell them what you think they want to hear.
3. "It's now your job not to mess it up."
Any interviewer has the ability to sweep a candidate off their feet. People don't normally go into a job interview expecting to hate the job or office life. Remember, you got them in the door when they could have declined the interview. They're already interested, so it's not your job to get them to fall for you anymore.
Basic life principles: Stay calm, cool, and collected. And always have a pen handy.
4. "Listen to them and don't stare at their mouth when they're speaking."
Begin by asking the right questions. Focus on what they are saying and be able to respond efficiently and succinctly. You want to have an open dialogue and you want it to feel natural and not forced.
Basic life principles: Listen and respond thoughtfully.
5. "The key is to hang back and give them some space."
Don't crowd them. You don't want to come on too strongly and be too aggressive. Remember that they are more nervous than you are in this situation. You give 90% and make them come to you for that last 10% of effort. In other words, inspire them.
Basic life principle: No one likes neediness.

"Washington is pushing the confrontation with Russia as part of its strategy of removing Moscow as an impediment to its drive for supremacy over the oil-rich Middle East and Central Asia and dominance over the Eurasian continent, which it considers essential to taking on its biggest rival for global domination, China."
Barry Grey, WSWS
1--Russia-gate Flops as Democrats' Golden Ticket
Clinton's popular-vote plurality and the #Resistance, which manifested itself in massive protests against Trump's presidency, gave hope to the Democrats that they didn't need to undertake a serious self-examination into why the party is in decline across the nation's heartland. Instead, they decided to stoke the hysteria over alleged Russian "meddling" in the election as the short-cut to bring down Trump and his populist movement.
A Party of Snobs?
From conversations that I've had with some Trump voters in recent weeks, I was struck by how they viewed the Democratic Party as snobbish, elitist and looking down its nose at "average Americans." And in conversations with some Clinton voters, I found confirmation for that view in the open disdain that the Clinton backers expressed toward the stupidity of anyone who voted for Trump. In other words, the Trump voters were not wrong to feel "dissed."...
By insisting that Hillary Clinton be the Democratic nominee – after leftist populist Bernie Sanders was pushed aside – the party also ignored the fact that many Americans, including many Democrats, viewed Clinton as the perfectly imperfect candidate for an anti-Establishment year with many Americans still fuming over the Wall Street bailouts and amid the growing sense that the system was rigged for the well-connected and against the average guy or gal.
In the face of those sentiments, the Democrats nominated a candidate who personified how a relatively small number of lucky Americans can play the system and make tons of money while the masses have seen their dreams crushed and their bank accounts drained. And Clinton apparently still hasn't learned that lesson....
Her excuse captured much of what has gone wrong with the Democratic Party as it moved from its working-class roots and New Deal traditions to becoming a party that places "identity politics" ahead of a duty to fight for the common men and women of America.
Demonstrating her political cluelessness, Clinton used the serious issue of women not getting fair treatment in the workplace to justify taking her turn at the Wall Street money trough, gobbling up in one half-hour speech what it would take many American families a decade to earn.
While it's a bit unfair to personalize the Democratic Party's problems, Hillary and Bill Clinton have come to represent how the party is viewed by many Americans. Instead of the FDR Democrats, we have the Davos Democrats, the Wall Street Democrats, the Hollywood Democrats, the Silicon Valley Democrats, and now increasingly the Military-Industrial Complex Democrats...
Earlier this year, a Washington Post/ABC News poll found only 28 percent of Americans saying that the Democrats were "in touch with the concerns of most people" – an astounding result given the Democrats' long tradition as the party of the American working class and the party's post-Vietnam War reputation as favoring butter over guns.
Yet rather than rethink the recent policies, the Democrats prefer to fantasize about impeaching President Trump and continuing a blame-game about who – other than Hillary Clinton, her campaign and the Democratic National Committee – is responsible for Trump's election. Of course, it's the Russians, Russians, Russians!...
Mixed in was a commitment to the rights of various identity groups, a worthy goal although this tolerance paradoxically contributed to a new form of prejudice among some liberals who came to view many white working-class people as fat, stupid and bigoted, society's "losers."...
Rather than face these facts, the national Democrats – led by President Obama and his intelligence chiefs – decided on a different approach, to seek to reverse the election by blaming the result on the Russians. Obama, his intelligence chiefs and a collaborative mainstream media insisted without presenting any real evidence that the Russians had hacked into Democratic emails and released them to the devastating advantage of Trump, as if the minor controversies from leaked emails of the Democratic National Committee and Clinton's campaign chairman John Podesta explained Trump's surprising victory
2--Amazon octopus gobbles up whole foods
Lina Khah wrote in a 2017 Yale Law Journal in regard to Amazon's growing monopoly, that "in addition to being a retailer, Amazon is a marketing platform, a delivery and logistics network, a payment service, a credit lender, an auction house, a major book publisher, a producer of television and films, a fashion designer, a hardware manufacturer, and a leading provider of cloud server space and computing power. For the most part, Amazon has expanded into these areas by acquiring existing firms."
Amazon's cloud data storage service, for example, controls 33 percent of total market share, more than Microsoft, IBM and Google combined. Its clients include leading corporations and the Central Intelligence Agency, National Security Agency and Department of Defense.
The company controls a significant portion of the logistical veins of international distribution, linking together roughly 400,000 warehouse workers at hundreds of fulfillment centers spread across five continents. Amazon commands a fleet of trucks, freighters, drones and airplanes, plus a small army of Uber-like flex delivery drivers who transport goods to over 100 countries.
Amazon's growing dominance is part of a broader concentration of power across all industries. The share of GDP produced by America's largest 100 corporations rose from 33 percent in 1994 to 46 percent in 2013. The five largest American banks now account for 45 percent of total banking assets, nearly double from 25 percent in 2000.

Al Mass Brand Reveal
Oh I have a fun one for you guys today! I say that because I was getting ready to do some blogging, and looking at colors. Colors of my site, colors of the sites my clients get and don't get me wrong, color exploration is part of our brand discovery. This one I am about to tell you about had some coral in the initial proposal, somehow for portfolio sites, blues, grays, bright whites, and slate grays help to make a portfolio stand out. The colors go with whatever you upload, and can provide a great clean palette for a brand.
Its actually not unusual for a client to say "I want the colors on your site" So we just tweak slightly. This client actually did NOT say that, but in the end we have a pretty close green/grey.
This is an example of how a color alone does not make a brand. It's just a part of a whole that makes a brand one central item.
Cris came to me looking to help her with her new brand. A designer for years, she wanted to change her audience and provide a portfolio site for her design clients and not just paper design clients. We all know how busy creative entrepreneurship is, and that standing back from your brand and seeing it from another person's perspective is always helpful.
We took the notion of a clean and neutral portfolio site and mixed with some great elements from Cris's travels to create her brand. The name Al Mass means diamond, and her brand values include finding a diamond in the rough and making it beautiful and shiny. With that we new there were going to be some sort of mono-line or slab serif notes in the brand, and then Cris also wanted to incorporate the arabic name and moroccan influences she loves together in one. We used classic moroccan patterns overlayed in a few different ways to create a texture of moroccan influence, while also getting that fractal diamond concept.
It's funny, when you have the right concept for your brand, the rest can fall into place pretty easily. Explaining this to a client has to be the hardest thing in the world, which is why it was so fun to work with Cris! She was a pleasure and so much fun to design for another designer. The more I work for other creatives, the more I know I have found my right place in the creative world!
Make sure you go check out Cris's new website, while in Portuguese I am sure you will be able to navigate pretty easily :) It's my first FULL non-english site, vs a few pieces translated and I think we did a great job!

Now that the heavyweight armchair analysts of the world have finished hardy-har-haring that 55 Anjialou Road – the address of the U.S. embassy in Beijing – should be renamed "1 Snowden Street" or "1 Bin Laden Road," let's try to see what's going on here. Last Tuesday in D.C. the House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment to the State/Foreign Operations Bill which stated:
"Not later than 45 days after the enactment of this Act, the Secretary of State shall officially rename the section of International Place, Northwest, Washington, District of Columbia, which runs directly in front of the the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, Liu Xiaobo Plaza and shall produce accompanying street signs to reflect this change. For the purposes of the United States Postal code, hereafter the proper address for the Embassy of the People's Republic of China in Washington, District of Columbia shall be No. 1 Liu Xiaobo Plaza."
The bipartisan group first intended the renaming to coincide with the 25th anniversary of liusi by appealing to D.C. mayor Vincent Gray to make the change. But since the street is federal property, President Obama would ultimately have to sign off on the name change, not the D.C. city council, so the plan was delayed.
In response to the original proposal, China Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Qin Gang said "a few members of the U.S. Congress doing this, first, is to look down upon and disrespect Chinese law. Secondly, this is very provocative and ignorant behavior." Qin added, "Liu Xiaobo is a man who has violated Chinese laws, he has been convicted in accordance with the law," and "what kind of person is Liu Xiaobo? He is someone who violated Chinese law and he has been sentenced according to law by China's judicial bodies." A Chinese embassy spokesman said, "we believe that the U.S. people will not like to see a U.S. street be named after a criminal." The court system in China is the Communist Party's court, not an independent national court system – one of the things Liu Xiaobo sought. It would be as if the US had the Republican Party Court or the Democrat Party Court and they ruled according to party needs rather than according to the Constitution.
In short, Qin is saying might makes right – because the Party has ruled what is has on Liu, that's the end of it. Qin says to rename the street after Liu is "to look down upon and disrespect Chinese law," and this ignores crucial distinctions that the CCP refuses to make. They insist that the Party = China, that their interests are one in the same, and that to question the CCP is to question China. To pressure the CCP and "disrespect" it = disrespecting China and it's people. If other countries meant to disrespect and look down on China, why would they support Chinese people working to improve their government and country? The CCP also forgets that the law and what's right are not always the same.
Many netizens have echoed Qin's sentiment that Congress is displaying "provocative" and "ignorant" behavior, some adding that it's a juvenile and childish move. I admit I don't understand the "childish" charge, but from reading the comments my guess is they come from people who pass too much time on the internet and view things in terms of "trolling" and "not trolling." In any case let's look at China's actions towards Norway and Liu Xiaobo's wife, Liu Xia, after the Nobel Committee awarded Xiaobo the Peace Prize.
When Beijing decided to start a 72-hour visa-free visit option, every country in Europe and Scandinavia was included…except Norway. As The Financial Times reported, "when asked why Norway was left off the list, Wang Qin, a senior official at the Beijing government travel administration, did not respond directly but said that some countries were not eligible because their citizens or government were of 'low quality' and 'badly behaved.'" Anyone who has had even passing experience with the Chinese government, and unfortunately many Chinese tourists, knows that Mr. Wang here is, oh what's the Chinese expression…confusing black for white.
Norway also saw what could be called randomly onerous complications imposed on its salmon exports to China. The Chinese government stopped all high level contact with Norway and eventually the Norwegians had to attempt to remedy this by cancelling a meeting with the Dalai Lama.
Liu Xia has been under house arrest in Beijing for 4 years despite having committed no crime. Police officers stay outside her apartment to make sure no one visits her. She has no internet and limited phone access. As one of Liu Xiaobo's counsels wrote, this has contributed to her deteriorating physical and mental health.
As for the suggestion that Beijing should reciprocate by renaming the street where the US embassy sits, why would the CCP rename the street after Edward Snowden? Snowden is working in the name of goals that are in line with American ideals and which would certainly land him a long prison sentence in China (maybe America too, but that's another discussion) – limited, accountable government and the primacy of individual liberty. To rename the street after Snowden would be to affirm the universal values that Liu Xiaobo, among others, has fought for and that the CCP rejects.
So where's Congress coming from with this? The cynical answer might be that the US government doesn't really care about human rights issues but just wants to poke China in the eye (or at least they 30% care and 70% want to poke China in the eye). Or that this is simply a move by House Republicans to put Obama – with his weak geopolitical standing – on the spot (though it's unlikely given that Nancy Pelosi and other House Democrats are involved). A pragmatic answer might be that the US is countering recent assertive moves by Beijing such as the recent publishing of a vertical map that significantly augments China's territorial claims – a move consistent with the Justice Department's recent indictment of 5 PLA officers for cyber espionage. Maybe this group of lawmakers from the House knows this probably won't happen, but they want to send the signal out that some in Congress still have some balls and integrity when it comes to China and geopolitics generally.
The idealistic answer can be found in Nancy Pelosi's speech in front of Congress earlier this month, "twenty-five years ago, Tiananmen became synonymous with the battle for human rights in China – again, an iconic sight for an iconic struggle for justice and democracy. Twenty-five years later, the spirit of Tiananmen endures in the hearts and minds of those continuing to struggle, both in China and around the world. What moral authority do we have to say to a small country: 'You cannot violate the human rights of your people,' but we'll take anything the Chinese have to dish out, because we have a commercial interest there?"
The reality probably includes all of these answers. (And the solution may be to get naked and run in the street.)
Pelosi continued, "and again, the Chinese government likes to say to prisoners: 'Nobody knows you're here. They don't remember who you are. They don't remember why you came here.'"
The National Post reported, "Xia Yeliang, a Chinese academic, said Liu Xia, the dissident's wife who herself has been under house arrest since 2010, had shown enthusiasm after he told her of the vote by telephone. He added that he had asked her to pass the message on to Liu Xiaobo, but that the telephone line had gone dead."
"'She immediately laughed, a very loud laugh, a joyful laugh,' Prof. Xia said."
Even if the proposal doesn't make it to the President's desk, I hope that laugh, bringing this bit of news, rings its way into a certain prison cell in Liaoning.

auspicious art
By spending an afternoon with Master Yun Long Zi, one enters the sphere of a sixth generation feng shui master, painter and Chinese calligrapher. Master Yun is an acclaimed artist and celebrated feng shui exponent. And as the founder of the eponymous Lotus on Water brand of galleries specialising in feng shui-themed objets d'art, he guides his clients towards greater wealth and life fulfillment.
As an artist, Master Yun won the Singapore Youth Festival art exhibition in his younger years. He graduated at top of his class from the NTU School of Arts and School of Science with a First-Class Honours in Chinese Language and Cultural Studies. He was also the recipient of the respected Dr Wu Teh Yao Book Prize.
For his upcoming exhibition, the "Colours of Prosperity and Elegance: The Feng Shui Art of Emeritus Master Yun and Lotus on Water", Master Yun brings to Thailand 108 stunning art pieces that capture the essence of his wisdom, as well as the energies of prosperity and good fortune. Held in partnership with UOB and The Emporium Shopping Complex in Bangkok, the exhibition features for the first time in Thailand, works of art amounting to THB1 billion (RM125.5 million).
"I've been both a painter a feng shui master for years," says Master Yun. With his creation of each feng shui-empowered art piece, he marries aesthetics with the esoteric "I meditate to find the answers as to which materials to use," he explains.
Each piece, according to Master Yun has eight to 12 layers of gold and silver. "The central theme would be to align feng shui to generate prosperity," he surmises. As a student of many Chinese philosophies, Master Yun says his work is all about the study of evolving energies. "For instance, how water transforms to steam, under the right conditions".
Beyond the art studio, Master Yun actively expands his knowledge of the feng shui discipline. "I've spent a lot of time in libraries, reading up on material that traces the various periods from ancient to modern. His discovery: the concept of wealth today is different to that of the past, so "I adapt feng shui ideas and principles to best apply them to the times we live in".
The Colours of Prosperity and Elegance: The Feng Shui Art of Emeritus Master Yun and Lotus on Water runs from 18 to 21 January at Emporium Gallery, M Floor, The Emporium Shopping Complex, Bangkok.

My blog contains a large number of posts. A few are included in various other publications, or as attached stories and chronicles in my emails; many more are found on loose leaves, while some are written carelessly in margins and blank spaces of my notebooks.
