Good Feng Shui - Priceless
Based on my Ba Zi (Four Pillars of Destiny), Kelvin told me that as a Weak Metal person who lacks the Fire element, I can use the colours gold (Metal) and red (Fire) to bring balance to my life.
Taking his advice, I replaced my Cross mechanical pencil which I'd been using for the past 5 years with a Montblanc mechanical pencil from the Classique line.
It's in burgundy (or what they call Bordeaux) with gold trims. Like all good mechanical pencils, it comes with a twist mechanism so that the lead won't be released accidentally when you put it in your pocket.
Montblanc makes two versions of the mechanical pencil, one for 0.5mm lead and another for 0.7mm lead. I didn't pay attention to this and got the 0.7mm without realizing it. I couldn't use any of the 0.5mm 2B refills that I already have. Something you should pay attention to when you're buying a mechanical pencil.
The Cartier wallet is also in burgundy and it's extremely understated. There's no interlocking "C" logo on the wallet. Only its signature Bordeaux colour and the metal clips on the corners of the wallet may give its identity away.
I also dug out my dunhill laptop case, which I bought two years ago. It's from the Cricket collection and its design's inspired by the cricket ball. I seldom use it when I'm dressed in formal attire coz it's just too loud. But it looks fantastic with a plain T-shirt and blue jeans.
Who says guys can't look good in red?
