The first Mian Xiang Mastery Series class held for 2005 saw a healthy turnout of students - many eager students who were anxious to begin their learning of what their face revealed about them. Held on the 23rd January 2005 and was presented by Joey Yap. It was a full-day event and it was clear right from the start that a fascinating course was in store for the enthusiastic students.

Joey first began the class with an introduction to the roots of the science of Mian Xiang, or Face Reading. He then swiftly moved on to disseminating the art of Mian Xiang, giving out plenty of pointers. Some of the interesting tips Joey dispersed were techniques on how to ascertain your potential life partner as well as ways to read a person's face to gather his or her career and wealth potential. The students were seen to be deep in concentration as they liberally jotted down notes on the various facial illustrations in the workbooks provided, often contorting their faces to achieve a similar feature as Joey Yap was discussing. It was clear why they called this one of the more 'fun' classes the Mastery Academy ran.

The highlight of the class was the case study session, whereby a few students volunteered to have their faces read by Joey Yap in front of class. Though this session was peppered with laughter, it was truly an eye-opening experience to see the effectiveness of Mian Xiang when put into practice.

Joey ended his highly intriguing course with a Q&A session with the students who naturally had many questions on the intricacies of Face Reading. Joey answered all their questions and encouraged them to participate in the student Community on the Mastery Academy web site to continue their learning.
