The key to understanding what makes a good water feature is not getting an exact copy of any illustration of a water feature. But rather; to understand the Five Elements and what makes a good water feature. Where if possible, the water feature comprises all FIVE elements. Reference: http://fountain.geomancy.net

Aloe Vera originates from North Africa. And some even call it "The Mother of all Miracle Plants!" Aloe vera is very popular as it is called the Elastoplast or a First Aid buddy. Thus it is used if one has cuts or even insect bites or even as a sun-block (sun-screen). It is also popularly used in skin care, shampoos and even as a refreshing drink that holds chunks of aloe vera. In ancient times, in Egypt, it is one of the ingredients or items used for embalming! Do be careful, if you walk along Kovan Road... as the owner of the home has planted a whole garden full of Aloe Vera plants both in his garden as well as this field of five-foot-way grass verge!

One can only find such grille patterns around the 1950s to 1960s. Not exactly Tic-tac-toe but somewhere near to it?

The attached window design feature: Casement windows encased by a distinct rectangular `protruding' enclosed brick shape sloping design was popular in the early 1970's. Many semi-detached and bungalow homes both in Singapore and Malaysia feature such an iconic design. Slowly as many owners redesign or do A&A works, such designs are disappearing gradually. As often, such homes are considered relatively "new" i.e. 30 to 40 years old and not worth conserving, yet. From a Feng Shui point of view, it is a stable design as rectangle represents the earth element. While circle designs during that era (1970's are rare and least desirable for large window openings). Often, th…

1. Should I look at where my future parking lot is before I buy erh... that unit? 2. In this private development or condo; car parking lots are numbered and tagged with a specific condo unit. 3.

The MacDonald House is the last remaining office building withred bricks facade. The building was built 3 years after World War 2. It was and designed by Reginal Eyre of the architectural firm Palmer and Turner. It was one of the 1st high-rise buildings in Orchard Road. During that time, the MacDonald House housed mainly British, American and Australian companies. I remember clearly that the show rooms of British made cars such as the mini-clubman was along this area. On March 1965, in an incident known as the MacDonald House bombing, two Indonesian saboteurs placed a bomb on the mezzanine floor.At the time of the bombing the buildinghoused the Australian High …

It does not take much visualisation to understand that stacks 141 and 147 are at a disadvantage. Just imagine the windows / balcony openings are at A, B and C. And directly opposite these stacks are another stack that juts out; create poison arrow(s) and blocks it's view. How worse can it get?

Surprisingly, although this house has many trees at it's frontage; the trees palm trees are tall and the other trees have branches that are well spaced out. It looks airy and not dim. Favourable for qi flow into the home. Thus a good balance between having no trees or too many trees for others. Note: the tree trunks within the compound of the house does not pose any sha qi or poison arrows (if any) as they are not aimed towards the main entrance door or any windows.
