The Crest acquired by Wingstar Investment (Wing Tai Holdings LTD), Metro Australia Holdings and Maxdin: the site at Prince Charles Crescent. A "copy-cat" of the Taipei 101. Taipei 101 is tall. And this development has many "Stunted" Bamboo plants.. by nature. That is the only difference. One cannot go wrong with "point-block" or 8 main blocks where qi or wind can freely circulate between each block = Good Shapes and Forms. This means that many units will be shaded from rain, thanks to the upper floors that jut-out to shield them. This is what I like most about it... The Crest Just T.O.P.

The Dracaena Draco plant / tree. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, plants with rounded leaves are preferred over spikey leafs. Under common sense; usually nowadays, the garden is very small; and if one has young ones running around the garden, such sharp leafs may accidentally hurt a child when the child runs into it. Worse of all, hopefully it does not poke into vunerable areas like the eyes. In this photo; this plant or tree can be of low height or higher.

Dear All, 1. In the past, coconut trees literally litter the coastline of Singapore island. 2. Nowadays, there are few if any public areas with coconut trees. 3. The rationale is simple: if a coconut fruit were to fall directly on one's head; especially an infant or a child, it may be fatal. It is said that even coconut fruit that bounced e.g. on a hard surface, may accidentally `hit' a child or even an adult's head with major consequences. 4. However, the superstition or what one wants to call it is that it is said that a coconut fruit is (suppose) to have eyes. And `it' tries to fall down - avoiding say a person. Perhaps, this is true? Well, I do not have the statistics…

It is typical of many if not all Chinese restaurants to use red for their main entrance. This restaurant uses a " Fan " shaped signboard. In Mandarin the phonetic sound of a Fan is " shan " represents good. At the same time, many Chinese scholars or officials used to carry fans and even fans were frequently used by Chinese Immortals. Here, fan is considered an auspicious symbol as it is said to also help drive away evil.

This picture was taken today (6 June 2000) of the Fortredale. On this side of the building (there are two sides), at the higher floors it shows only one unit being occupied. In a city like Singapore, where apartments are snapped up the moment they are `sold', there seems to be few take up (actually staying) in these apartments. Earlier, I mentioned that the windows of this apartment are not conducive for a humid and hot city like Singapore. In fact, most Singaporeans have also, I believe found it not `practical' to stay in. In my opinion, the curtains in the apartment shown, looks `make-shift', and (unfortunately) reminds one of a refugee camp. This recent picture (Plea…
