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).

1. Chinese consider certain coins as an amulet to ward off evil. 2. The fish symbols on each of these amulets signify : abundance as the Chinese word of fish "yu" means just that! And fish symbols x 3 means wealth and every year - abundance of wealth!

1. This special design lamp posts can be found along the stretch of Lor H Telok Kurau Road. 2. The lamp post seemingly looks stylish; but yet hides an ugly truth: Under symbolism in Feng Shui; it is not good for homes to face the "twin pointed" archer's arrow-heads aimed towards the opposite house! 3. A design ... from Feng Shui point of view that went the "wrong way" to the dogs!

The owner of this house uses these items:- 1. The Ba gua trigram on the outside of the concave mirror is to ward off evil. 2. The charms with the mao pi is also meant to ward off evil. 3. The greatest threat for a neigbhour facing such an apartment (apartment door face to face) is the concave mirror in the middle of the ba gua mirror. The intention of such a concave mirror is to "suck wealth".... 3.1 There are many versions of such a mirror: some with the Chi-lin in the middle; some with the flat mirror; These are purely to ward off evil. 3.2 some Ba Gua's with the convex mirror are to deflect poison arrow(s) or sha qi.

1. I belong to the old school where all my cars must be installed with:- 1.1. Mud-guard for both front and rear of the car 1.2. Side mouldings to protect the body of the car 2. My wish? 2.1. How I wish all car parks are installed with friendly "Parking Blocks or Wheel Stops". 2.2. My wish came thru when I went for a Feng Shui audit at the Fontaine Parry condominium at Poh Huat Road. 3. The developer installed a "mud-guard" friendly "parking block or wheel stop". 3.1. Such that even if I were to roll my car wheels touching the parking block, my car's mud-guard does not scrape the "parking block". 4. Any way, this is only a dream as unfortunately, I don't visi…

The idea is that spirits travel in a straight line and a zig zag bridge will certainly confuse the spirits!

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…

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.

These are Plaques 1 to 6; As some of my earlier photos of each of the 24 Filial Piety plaques were often missing parts of the wordings; I took the opportunity to re-take the entire photos of each of the plaques. The wordings can now be easily read.

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 …
