Thanks alot Master Lee
Those points you mentioned were really informative. I did not even think of that. Besides those that you mentioned, you did not comment on whether facing a canal is ok? I read somewhere in your web that a unit was damp before and it was infested with termites because there was a canal nearby. Does that apply to this picture?
Please let me know whether the pond facing is ok as well. Thank you.

These are some of the considerations:1.
Afternoon SunIn fact, usually if we were
to look at a development were most of
the units (stacks) are sold; quite often
we will discover that the first time
most people do is: avoid units (stacks)
with direct afternoon sun.Therefore,
this is always one of the key criterias
when selecting a home or apartment.In
terms of Feng Shui; this is true and too
much exposure also to afternoon sun
(sun-light ... to .. heat soaking into
the walls / coming into windows and even
"sun-burn" ) are concerns.2. Sha Qi or
Poison ArrowsIn a development like this,
where there so many different blocks and
stacks facing different directions;
there may be a likelyhood that a sharp
corner of another neigbhouring block or
stack COULD/ MAY be aimed towards one's
dream apartment.Thus, it is best to TRY
to avoid buying such a unit. Of course,
it is not built yet so how? If possible
try to study the neigbouring block and
your "dream unit" and if there are more
detailed block map, try to figure out as
much as possible; whether or could the
corner be sharp or aimed at a specific
room of the unit one may be wanting to
purchase.Of course, if later on it turns
out that way, there is indeed a sharp
corner aimed at the unit "window"..
then.. 3. Such a development have
various units/stacks facing many
directions.. thus, check mainly the main
breadwinner's best directions: East or
West Group.4. Also, the period we are
in. Since we are now under Period 8;
better apartments are often the SW / NE
facing. South etc..5. Units facing main
roads are often noisy. So is low units
close to the dusbin area (smelly). Where
is the power station; How does
cars use the service road in and out of
the basement carpark .. will affect low
floor units facing this service road
area...6. Any external threats (if any)
from neigbouring blocks etc.. etc...On
