Hi Everyone, Besides Hong Kong and Shanghai Bank, the two lion statues each tied with red cloth is found on a Bank of India Branch in Singapore's country's Central Business District. It is not necessary to place the lion statues at a specific facing direction e.g. the West direction. But rather, it is commonly found on both sides of the main entrance to `guard' the premises. In the picture the two lion statues are tilted at an angle against the flow of traffic (of the one way street). One interesting comment is that `Feng Shui' is well spread all over the world and since China is very close to India, influences such as Buddhism came from India. We can today say that …

1. This water feature is in "orange" colour. 2. Under the Five Elements concept: Metal element = circle (e.g. the circular ball design of the water feature); and orange can also be considered as "gold" colour or metal element. 3. This follows the tradition of exchanging oranges when some one visits a home. And the two dialects: Cantonese : Kum or mandarin orange sounds like GOLD. While the Hokkiens call it : Kim = also gold. While "Peach" colour is pinkish and belongs to the Fire element (Fire element - red, pink or purple).

In Singapore, in many clusters of estates that have landed properities; the most popular ornaments are a pair each of the lions on the gates of many Chinese homes. This estate is in Paya Lebar called Tai Keng Gardens. The most remarkable thing is that there are two homes that have large sized lions. I do mean large ones that can only be placed on the floor: one set is found beside each front gate pillar and there is another set placed behind the main gate (beside the porch pillar..) As usual, there are the white lions and some homes have the ceramic glazed "brownish" type...

Elephants are revered in Thailand. And considered a workhorse in India. Elephants symbolises great strength and astuteness (shrewdness). And an animal of high moral standards... Recently... we hear of a prominent golf legend....let's hope his home does not have this twin elephants on any of his home's porch pillars... as only those with high moral standards aka.. elephants should ever display them. Thus for those who is considered loose... please forget about placing these items!

Mayfair Gardens at 2 Rifle Range Road – Keep in view for further review when more details are available. Intermission… No, it’s not a golf club. But it’s definitely cooler! I have fond memories of the summit of Rifle Range Road and its rich history, including the origins of the Singapore Gun Club and the Singapore Rifle Range Association. When I was young, my dad, who was a member of the Singapore Gun Club, used to bring us to the Gun Club Range. The Singapore Gun Club was located on top of a hill. The club had a store modeled after gun shops in the US. If you’ve seen shows like Rambo II, you’ll know the type—members could simply go in and b…

Location: Mountbatten Road. (Used to be the main road connecting the East Coast to the city. That was before the ECP came into being) It is a pity that we can only see the Ang sana trees that were planted at least 30 to 50 years ago. What a pity, they are no longer planted on most of today's roads. As HDB estate roads are both narrow and does not have a road side divider; such trees are no longer seen in new HDB estates like Sengkang, Punggol, Choa Chu Kang etc... This tree has low branches and as they radiate towards the road; the branches were often trimmed. Even so, the tree managed to retain a balanced "umbrella" shape. The ang sana trees we…

Snap-shots of more pictures of the above temple. Lion statue: There are two Lion statues `guarding' the main entrance to the temple. Lion statues are very common found on traditional Chinese buildings to guard the front door. Lots of buildings in Singapore have the two Lion statues similar to the one shown in the picture. The Hong Kong Shanghai Bank or HSBC commonly has two bronze Lions outside the main entrance of their branches. The burning receptacles are used for burning of paper `money', paper offerings etc... `Hell' notes refers to paper money burned/offered to the dead in the hope that they can make use of the money in the after life.
