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.

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…

Attached please find a layout plan where the toilet (toilet bowl) is next to the main entrance. This layout is considered inauspicious under Shapes and Form Feng Shui. Best to avoid... purchasing such a unit.

This office which is directly `hit' by a `T-junction' where vehicles, move towards it has been in bad shape. Please wait loading picture (100k)... The building to the right is not affected as usually cars are parked on that side of the road. Both buildings to the left and right of this building looks lovely but not for this one. Where the roof is also in disrepair. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

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…

1. Snuff bottles Chinese snuff bottles are unique because they are not only hand painted but painted from within the bottle. Imagine using a brush and inserting it into the small hole on the top of the bottle and painting a `mirror' image of landscapes etc.. inside the bottle. Truly amazing! 2. Stone paintings Usually, happy children faces are painted on stones. In one of the stone paintings, can you spot a child eating a water melon? 3. Golden Roosters This is a 24K gold plated Golden Rooster from RISIS Pte Ltd at www.risis.com.sg The owner certainly has `No taboos' displaying it in the house. Oops.. am I referring to myself:) *JOKE* Click here: http://www.geomancy.net/…
