Dear Anon, Many thanks for pointing out the poll on the Fullerton Building. In my opinion: 1. Although the sloping roofs `accumulates' to a central point; if the frontage is not properly `protected' i.e. the frontage (is where it faces the sea); wealth in such a situation looks like it will drain off into the water. 2. For the tenants (housed under) on each side of the sloping roof; in Feng Shui, these shops would ultimately open and close. And most likely tenants would change. 3. Perhaps, the rent may then be reduced such that it becomes more or less office space at some of this premises. 4. However, I believe it would make a better choice for it to have a larger percent…

Attached please find common patterns associated with the Fire elements. These feature prominently e.g. on temple roofs or motifs on some taiormade Chinese furniture.

In an urban city even in Singapore, it is difficult to find bamboo trees growing. So I took a picture from my collection of Chinese porcelain plate of a Panda with baby surrounded by bamboo trees. The reason why bamboo are not grown is because it needs lots of maintenance and they grow very fast. `Chopping' the plant can be `quite messy'.

Some "parts" of Foresque Residences reminds me of another place: Yishun Sapphire Condo and Yishun Emerald Condo. Here, if one owns a unit in Yishun Sapphire and "South facing" one can see into the swimming pool area of Yishun Emerald condo. Thus, one can be "lead" to believe that parts of Yishun Sapphire condo (south side) seems to "belong" to Yishun Emerald instead. Here, please see attached photos. The photo was taken outside of a unit at block 109 Foresque Residences facing North. In the photo, one can see the pool. But this pool actually belongs to a Treehouse condo - another neighbouring condo. And Treehouse Block 60 has one of it's corners aimed towards Block 109 st…

1. Often, in our quest to determine what is Sha Qi or poison arrow; many of us don't get the full picture. 2. Many often, we ourselves; are the culprit! For example, take a look at this picture. Some homes even have grills for the windows and the main entrance with the "arrow" head design.

Dear Peck Wun, Usually the auspicious dates would have at least (if not very auspicious, auspicious). Besides these, do look for alternative dates e.g. `Average' days. The main concern is to start work during the Chinese 7th month which is on / between 9 August 2002 to 5 September 2002. During this period, it is advisable not to move-in or start renovation work on any of these dates. But, one can choose an auspicious date in July to start work. (This is OK). I also attached a house moving ritual in simple .txt format. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Yang Xing Zhai = Study of the cultivation of nature This two storey building was built in the form of the Chinese character that echoes with Jiang Xue Xuan = Pavilion of crimson and white. This building is secluded and has beautiful surroundings. Emperors JaiQing and Daoguang of the Qing Dynasty came here very often to have a rest or to read. It was also here that Sir Reginald Johnston, an Englishman gave English lessons to the abdicated last Emperor Pu Yi.

A nice flowing curvy home: Design takes precedence over other factors. Simply "a designer. This brings me fond memories of the 1950's and 1960's type of out-of-the box smooth flowing design. P.S. Location of home: Eastern Part of Singapore : in Siglap area.

I believe this is the government's first ever (Housing Development Board - a government statutory board's) foray into "condo development". This "condo" type of development has a total of three tower blocks and many do really have city views. Tower type of blocks or "point-blocks" are again a very forgiving structures. As each tower block allows air or qi to circulate in and around the entire blocks thus often; it does not sufferas much from "still" or less vibrant qi. If you take a close look at the photo image: city view5.jpg; when one steps into this development; one can see a very pleasant retro classy black and white checker-board style flooring. When we step closer t…

1. This plant has very attractive small "bite" sized bright red coloured fruits encasing a seed. 2. In my opinion; best to avoid like the plague especially if there is a newborn around in the home. The fruit is poisonous! 3. The common name of this plant is the "false rattan". 4. It's scientific name is : Flagellaria indica and belongs to the Flagellariaceae family. 5. This plant originated from many parts of the world: Taiwan, South East Asia, Polynesia, Australia and even Tropical Africa. BEST KEEP AWAY FROM THE YOUNG!

For the last few years, I have the privilege to work on City Planning for a neighbouring country. I have worked on several projects for this country.This is just one of sample of a "city". In Singapore, it is just like the equivalent of planning Towns like Yishun, Woodlands and some projects as large as several Singapore towns put-together.

1. Hey!, this is not exactly the auspicious "Dragon-gate" Feng Shui! 2. Literally, this home places a dragon-holding a pearl; placed on one of the pillars of the gate. 3. At least, even if it is highly uncommon for a home to have a dragon figurine "guarding" the gate; at least it is only a single piece. As a dragon represents the male. While the phoenix represents the female form. 4. As mentioned, it is very rare for people to place such a figurine on their main gate pillar facing outwards. This is the very first time I came across such any activity. 5. Usually, instead, such a figurine is common only in a temple where a pair of dragons is often found on the main roof of …

Uncommon to find a pair of elephant figurines at establishments in Singapore. Elephants are revered in both India and Thailand. This Elephant seems oriental as the body of the elephant has the carvings of the five claw dragon.

1. Chinese consider bats as auspicious. As the phonetic sound is `Fu' or good luck. 2. Included in this message are Chinese pictures that have bats in them. 3. In ancient China, it is common to see Chinese children deplicted in some of the pictures attached below. Notice their hairstyle and dressing. The children looks well fed:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. The leaves of this vine (climber) has a fragrant smell. 2. It is common in some parts of South-East Asia especially by the Malays / Balinese to chew the leaves as some sort of an apertiser or rather a habit to chew it with other cordiments placed in the leave. People who regularly chewed this has a rather bad permanent stain on their teeth /mouth.... for those who yearn for white teeth.. this is a no no... 3. It's cousin is the wild betel-leaf. As the name suggests it can be cultivated or grown wild. A very hardy vine and can multiply very very fast. It's flower is cone-like white.. 4. The family name of this vine is : Piperaceae. And it originates from Bali and…

A charm is kinda like not hiring a security guard. But rather pasting a piece of yellow paper with written calligraphy. To protect the home from evil spirits.
