1. Development known as: The Abode at Devonshire, Singapore 2. In my opinion, this development reminds me of the glass frontage of the Fortredale, another Singapore high rise building with glass surrounding the building. 3. The Abode at Devonshire, is 15 storey high a small development comprising of 26 units. Based on the developer's description it is based on interescting planes of glass, concrete and aluminium. 4. Although it does not have as much as the `revealing' glass surrounding half of each unit, nevertheless, in my opinion, the frontage with `enclosed' glass is not appropriate for Singapore, a hot and humid country. 5. In my opinion, for a house, Qi cannot flow f…

1. It depends! 2. I was walking towards Neil Road, Singapore and took three close-to successive photos: 3. The first photo was at the traffic RED light (at the head of) Neil Road. Here, you can virtually see 5 empty taxis; circled in RED. 4. Next, I immediately took another photo: 2nd photo and there was another4 empty taxis behind these 5 taxis. 5. I immediately took another 3rd photo and amused at seeing another 7 empty taxis! 6. Wow! At certain locations and times of the day... what a hard luck for these taxi drivers. 7. A recent article in a Singapore newspaper said that unlike regular workers; these taxi drivers start work being in "debt". For example, th…

Reference: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-tortise.htm The Legend of the Giant Tortoise According to ancient Chinese legends, a giant tortoise surfaced from the River Lo in central Chinaaround 4,000 years ago. The ancient Chinese found a pattern on a tortoise shell (refer to the extreme left picture above). There were circular dots of numbers on the giant tortoise that were arranged in a three-by-three nine grid pattern on it's shell. The pattern of numbers on the giant tortoise in any given direction i.e. horizontal, vertical or diagonal all add up to a total of 15 (refer to the middle picture above). This is equal to the 15 days in each of the 24 cyc…

Here is a sample typical Chinese gift hamper that is `exchanged' prior to Chinese New Year. Usually, the top or apex has a bottle of VSOP Cognac e.g. Henessey, Remy Martin etc... The quality of the contents depends on the cost of the hamper. Hampers cost between S$150 to as much as S$1000 (S$1 = US$1.69) Since this is the year of the dragon, you will notice a dragon circle the entire hamper:) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Although frogs are considered one of the 5 poisons creatures, to many ancient farmers, it is considered `Heavenly Dew' because of its wet surface. Frogs were commonly found in padi fields and to many farmers, who enjoy eating these delicacies e.g. frog legs.

Some buildings are difficult to be conceived as a "dragon building". I am pretty sure, anyone looking at this building and some basic knowledge of FUNG SWAY would conclude that; yes, maybe, it looks like a GREEN DRAGON! You agree or NOT?

The picture shows a typical Chinese building roof in the 1940's. Although the roof is not as elaborate as temple roofs but it shares a similar design as many traditional building roofs. Warmest Regards, Cecil

First of all, let me apologise for this ugly drawing. I know it is no good. But I hope it makes it easier to understand for Dan. Enclosed please find a simple diagram showing what I mean by `Head facing a good direction'. Please note that this picture refers only to sleeping positions. Where when one sleeps (on a bed), one's head faces a good direction. One cannot expect to sleep upright and sleep with the head facing the `sky'. *JOKE* Below, Message cross posted from `Free Advice':- Dear Cecil, when you say your head should be facing your most auspisious direction, what do you mean? Your head should be in that direction, or you should be looking at that direction…

1. Elvis Presley & Marilyn Monroe are alive? 2. Not exactly! BUT somehow, they are at least remembered in Singapore! Maybe for the wrong reasons? Why? 3. This rememberance in Singapore is not exactly complimentary! 4. Really, creative people, do think differently from "normal" of the mill people like us! 5. In Australia, I get to see Toilets with captions of "RAM = male" and "DOE = female" goat. 6. This newly refurbished building: Pico Creative Centre; along Kallang Avenue seems to think that the best way for people to recognised the male side of the toilet is via the huge posted of Elvis. And for the female? The famous sex symbol: Marilyn Monroe! 7. Look…
