Staff Cecil Lee Posted January 5, 2000 Staff Share Posted January 5, 2000 This message shows three interesting `bat' motifs or pictures:1. First picture:If one bat is considered as bringing one good fortune. What happens if there are two bats?You may have guessed correctly! Two bat motifs signify double good fortune!2. Second picture:The bat is in the centre. The actual diagram is the profile of the Longevity symbol " Shou ". As in Fu Lu ShouA bat symbol is included in the above to imply one will have longevity plus good fortune.3. Third picture:Shows five bats. Five bats indicate " receiving " gifts.You will also notice in the earlier message, that some Chinese boys are catching a bat and there are a total of five bats in some of the pictures.Warmest Regards,Cecil Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 25, 2016 Author Staff Share Posted September 25, 2016 Location: Soup Restaurant @ Vivocity If one bat is considered as bringing one good fortune. Very appropriate that Soup Restaurant had chosen this motif instead of other alternative motifs. Next time if someone asks; it is not about Batman the cartoon superhero...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted February 13, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted February 13, 2018 Village Hotel at Katong uses a repetitive square within a circle design. Square represents the earth element. Circle represents metal element. To the layperson, more importantly so long as it looks pleasant; this is good enough! If you look carefully, in fact there is a pencil thin outline of an octagon or Bagua trigram or eight sided shaped design surrounding each motif.
