Dear Master, I'm currently renting a condo which is on the slope of Loyang valley. To get to the main door of my unit, one has to first climb up a flight of about 6 steps and down 2 flights of stairs (13 steps followed by about 4 steps). The long stairs leads straight to the main door. Main door faces the stairs coming down. It faces Northwest (looking out). Inside the unit, the main door opens directly to an open terrace which is the back of the house. This terrace (looking out) faces SE 127'. This terrace leads to the back garden and onwards to the rest of the valley (pool and other units). So the whole condo is built in a circle, around the side of the valley. T…

A "5" pian cai is very high. Pian Cai does not automatically only means "lottery" luck. It could also mean bonus, promotion and profit - luck!

Dear Anon, 1. This has more to do with beliefs than Feng Shui. 2. It would be a nice feeling for CEOs if they can symbolically be at one of the highest floors of a building especially if their company owns the entire building. 3. In some countries, well known politicians also have their offices close to the top floor. Some even have an escape hatch to a helicopter pad in the event of a terrorist attack. 4. Usually, nowadays the highest floors need not be an office but rather it could also be a restaurant or an auditorium. Warmest Regards, Cecil

These are some considerations: 1. Several factors should be considered regarding home design and plumbing. Primarily, it relates to common sense, which Feng Shui principles often reflect. 2. It is not uncommon for homes to have a toilet situated directly above a kitchen. 3. However, a significant concern arises when sewerage pipes are positioned directly above cooking areas or places where food and drinking water are prepared or stored. 4. The rationale is clear: if a sewerage pipe were to leak, gravity would facilitate the flow of contaminants. 5. In some cases, homeowners have no alternative but to have sewerage pipes located above their sto…

Dear Sherry, Sherry Shao-To wrote: A couple of years ago we heard some strange noises on the top of our roof above our master bedroom. At first we thought it could be mice, but realized they were birds. We figured they had built a nest up there and my husband wanted to get rid of it. Well, it's a two story house and even with a 10 ft. ladder, the roof was far from reach. Therefore, we just ignored it and eventually it went away. Well, this year the birds came back and made their home at the exact same placeon our roof above the master bedroom again. I can't see them because it's so high.So I'm curious does it have a meaning and are these birds good lu…

Dear Cecil, Note appended by Cecil: I have deleted the file: STREET MAP BEDOK RESERVOIR(1).GIF as it is captured from http://www.streetdirectory.com without Source & Credit to them (standard clause for educational purposes). I believe this site is quite "sticky" with their copyright maps. It is best to cut-paste the link to their website instead of saving their maps. We do not want to infringe on their copyright. My husband and I are interested in blk 10 of the project. There's a canal btw the unit and Bedok town park (pls see attached map). We can't tell what the facing is like due to the weird angle. Our 8 house report says that we should hv the front door facing we…

Dear Con, Actually, the greater "value" of a good Feng Shui apartment lies in the common saying: "Location, location, location". In fact, this is often the most critical key success in selecting a home or an apartment. From a "cultural" perspective; as you had mentioned, in particular, Cantonese (dialect) group do not like 4. But often, they do not like multiples of it e.g. 44 or 444. Otherwise, 104 (without looking) at the house no, seems often not a major issue. More importantly, bring along family members to the new apartment and ask for their comments on the location. This often is better. I personally feel that these are better key success-factors, than s…

Dear Paixao, Usually, this is what many Chinese do when they move into a new home:- 1. Select an auspicious date. If one is not sure of a date, the two dates that are considered always auspicious are the 1st Day of the Lunar Month and the 15th Day of the Lunar Month. This is where both dates are on a full moon. The most recent Vesak Day holiday or (Buddha's Birthday fall on the 15th day of Lunar Month). 2. Does one have an altar or worship any deity. If yes, bring the `deity' on the same day as the day, one is moving into the house. 3. On the day of move: 3.1. First bring in the charcoal stove (usually the stove is made of clay and either in red or wrapped in red.) Red…

Dear Mark, Under the Flying Star numbers 2 & 3 are not very good. 2 is normally misfortune and sickness. House number is not really widely practice because it is not really an accurate fortune telling tool. The reason some Feng Shui masters take that into account, is more for flats or high rise buildings. They believe that not every level will have the same feng shui even though the building has the same type of design layout for each level. Only under this circumstances will some Feng Shui master apply this theory giving it additional depth in the analysis. (So far from what I tried, it is need true more for high rise then low rise, for low rise it is not very useful…

These are some of the considerations: 1. Under symbolism in traditional belief; move-in technically is the day one sleeps over-night in that home or apartment. 2. Again under symbolism; placing a set of one's night clothing e.g. husband and wife senario; a set of night clothes each are placed on the bed (over-night). This symbolises a "move-in". 3. Please note that auspicious dates are considered NICE-to and not a MUST-have. 4. So long as the day is not very inauspicious or inauspicious; any other significance e.g. average day or mixed-blessings may be acceptable. 5. Bringing in items or things into a home often does not constitute a move-in. For example, it is very commo…

These are some of the considerations:- 1. If the breadwinner and spouse had already slept in the new or resale home especially : 1.1. Used the built in stove to cook a meal: 1.2. Bathed in the home 1.3. Slept in the new or resale home 2. Especially if all these three ACTIVITIES were done say in the same day; then no need to talk: this is already considered as "moved-in". 3. If one brings in a used washing machine; but did not use it; this is in the loose sense - for practical reasons; fine or OK. 4. It is the same thing as an "old" or "existing" dining table brought into the new home. So long as one does not use it for proper dining; then it is technically fine…

Dear Rakesh, 1. This has usually more to do with symbolism or beliefs. 2. The belief is that if one has a ship painting, it should not be of a stormy weather where it may imply that the ship may be caught in a tidal wave or storm and sink. 3. In the above situation, it is not ideal symbolism to have a painting where the ship may sink and relate this to a company where.. the company may go under. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Yes, it is very common to bring in items into the home before move-in. 2. If it is not the 7th month, it is not the 7th month. As mentioned in a recent forum message, the elderly just don't like the 6th month. Not because it is the "7th" month (how can this be) BUT rather, the elderly don't like it because it symbolises 50-50. Neither here nor there as the 6th month is half-half (between the 1st and the 12th lunar month). This is the rationale behind why some elderly reasoned as no good - 6th month, that's all.

Dear Aloysius Chia, Aloysius Chia wrote: Reason being if a person do not have a good chinese name (after analysis) but with good ba zi and staying in a good feng shui house, will his bad chinese name affect him. I have confusion over the above 3 combination as you may not have a good ba zi but a good feng shui house will assist you in many ways but will a good chinese name help too. A good name does help you in some way to boost up what you lack in your ba zi. However, it is not 100% necessary to bring you a great deal of luck change compared to the Feng Shui. A person's luck is affected by Heaven, Earth and Human luck. So my ranking would be:- 1) Earth Luck / Feng …

These are some considerations: 1. Yes, in a broad sense, one MAY not go wrong when choosing a Mandarin name UNLESS:- 1.1. One also wants to literally convert or have an identical name in Mandarin. 1.2. Here, some English name(s) when pronounced or translated or phonetic-sound-like some inauspicious Chinese name. 1.3. For example, sometimes names with "flowers" may turned out to be a name associated with a Prostitute den in Mandarin. 2. Otherwise, if you never going to convert or translated your name into Mandarin, then there is no chance that you may get this wrong. 3. Please see attachment. All my brothers, sisters and cousins belonging to the same generation are define…
