Dear Elmo, elmo boy wrote: I have read that most HDB "main door" is actually not at the living room door of the HDB apartment. It is actually where the most light and wind come in. I just got a apartment and the living room door face anotherapartment unit's door. While the other direction of my flat is my balcony where most wind and light come in. This depends on the whether the layout. Some layout is such that the facing of the house is better taken from where most like comes into the house. We have actually written an article on this subject:- 3. Landed property, best to take the facing of the…

Is this considered odd shape? Is the layout fengshui good or bad?

Dear Chong Fu Keong, Chong Fu Keong wrote: I am staying on the 10flr. Where do I take the reading of the compass direction. Centre of the hse facing the main door and at the centre of the door ( as seen your sample) or the balcony or living room In general, we have come up with some guidelines for the facing direction to make it easy to apply. For apartments (2nd - 7th level), you take the main door as your house facing. ie standing at the main door looking outwards. For apartments (8th level and up), you take the facing direction of the living room/balcony. ie stand inside your living room looking outwards. These two method give you facing direction which allows your…

Thank You, Mr Lee for your reply. You are most helpful and yes can understand what you mean. Thanks Emily free-advice Listmanager wrote: From: Cecil Lee Dear Emily, In my opinion, we still need to use visual - sight and smell Athough smell may vary during the day and when a dumpster pass-by. But, often, one way of looking at is is a walk-thru of the neighbourhood. Such as climbing up the stairs to the unit. In many instances, both the exterior an interior should often "match". For example, if the exteriorof the home, after the upgrading looks prestine or new, but if one's interior is pretty old (worn-out) etc.. Clues can come from the toilet(s), the kitchen and the liv…

Dear Gerard, In my opinion, often these sun-shades do not pose a `threat' to a neighbour. In fact, I believe, HDB had already for many years back installed sun shade - in particular; for bedroom windows facing west or south west direction. Many of these windows have `clear space' i.e. often no obstruction as far as 500 metres or more (from another block of flats). What is worse is this `test': Sometimes, the next block is a full wall. And when we stand inside of the home, looking outwards, we tend to get `glare' or light reflected from such neighbouring block's walls. And this glare is `sha qi'. Many of the sun-screens as you had mentioned covers mostly a level higher tha…

HDB Tampines GREENridges & Precinct Pavilions When choosing a stack/unit; some of us often over-look where the precinct pavilions are. Don't get me wrong, one advantage of living at high floors above such a structure may often mean that the views are unblocked. But if one's stack/unit is at low storeys e.g. 2 to 5 storeys high and depending on the distance the precinct pavilons are; one could literally looked into the "activities" if any within these pavilions which on occassions hold a wake (funeral) or two... And worse still if they are held during one's auspicious festive occasions such as the 15 days of Chinese New Year. It is good to …

Dear Anon, 1. A key ingredient of Feng Shui is qi flow. 2. Given that there is an upgradig of the grounds and facade. And also the roof has been modified or enhanced, this is very strong grounds for qi change. And thus, most likely, will affect your house period. 3. It is very interesting to note that, currently our life span is relatively short e.g. 60 to 80 or even 90 years. 4. Since one Flying Star chart is based on 20 years each, many Feng Shui practitioners that are alive today, cannot really provide an exact answer. Anyone claiming to be 100 percent sure - should be looked at with a pinch of salt. 5. Here, for example if a Feng Shui practitioner is say 58 years old…

[HDB stands for Housing and Development Board or Government Development Housing for the masses in Singapore. I believe, 90 percent of Singaporeans stay in these flats]. Dear Anon, 1. Even under Feng Shui, there are priorities and importance. Threats of serious importance are e.g. sharp corner of another building aimed at the house. 2. Secondly, usually, if I am not mistaken: 2.1 These service yards, are not aimed against the door of another apartment. Perhaps, the window of another block's service yard. 2.2 In my opinion, these are `weak' threats or no threats at all. Frankly, I have yet to come across or seen a `neighours bamboo poles aimed at another's main door. Mayb…

Please see attachment. This layout is preferred over the other one. As the bed is parallel to the bedroom walls. However, in a larger bedroom, your second alternative "slanting the bed" is practised by some Geomancers. Overall, do check that the toilet bowl particularly the piping is not sharing the same wall as your "face" when you sleep. There is a cause of concern of cancer in such a situation.

1. It's a pity that only in this "crazy" world of Fast Food Feng Shui would someone want to change the bed-head position annually. Think about this! 2. Who in their right frame of mind has ever considered moving the bed, and re-arranging, say the bed room console, and internal arrangements in a bedroom? Again, only those too free or nothing else better to do. 3. Chinese Beliefs: Pregnancy VS Moving Bed - Annually Many Chinese believe that if one is pregnant, one MUST never move the bridal bed, else there could be a likelyhood of an aborted birth. Thus all these talk about moving bed-head to "cater" to the whims and fancies of the Grand Duke or the three killings is …

Dear Ed, Generally, this can still be done especially if you find that this is one of the better or best positions within the bedroom. From a commonsense approach to Feng Shui, so long as one draws the curtain (for privacy) or if one has young children, avoid letting it be opened as children may climb over it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Berth, It is best to attach a graphic file under the conference: " Conference for Attaching Layout " as this is easier to look and understand your situation. By the way, you mentioned that the `west' wall has an entrance but no doors. Does it mean that your bedroom does not have any doors. Thanks and looking forward to your layout sketch of the bedroom. Cecil

Hello Master Lee. While shopping for bed frames I noticed that many designs have a gap or open space where the mattress goes under the headboard. Headboards that completely block the mattress from the wall are actually very rare. I included an example picture below to show what I mean. My guess is that this a very minor or non-issue since the mattress would cover the gap completely, so the headboard is not visibly "open." Am I thinking about this correctly?

Dear Olivia, I have sketched out the basic good designs on the wall behind the head-board. Generally, the worst kind of head board is in the shape of "tomb-stones" & "circle" shapes. Quite similiar to the attachment - inauspicious wall facade design. Please click on the attachment. Olivia Kim wrote: Will it be possible to tell me if there are certain head board design types that are considered more auspicious than others? Can you share which of those are?
