[Common toilet door facing 2 common bedrooms]

Dear Master,

Thanks for your prompt response. May i ask if we buy this unit, is there any way to counter this "toilet in centre of unit major leak" effect? Thank you. 

[Common toilet door facing 2 common bedrooms]

Dear Master Cecil, 

Kindly refer to the attached picture.

I'm intending to buy a unit (i have not offered but interest is there).  The common toilet door partially faces both the common bedrooms, Bedroom 1 & 2 in the attached picture.  In this manner, what should i do to nullify any negative effects, if there is any?

Also, the master bedroom door is directly in line with master bedroom toilet door. If i were staying in this unit, what do you suggest i should do ... if i make sure i keep the master toilet door shut at most times, will that be sufficient? 

Thank you.

This condo is just opposite the Sims Ville condo. And is close-by to the Paya Lebar MRT station.
---------------------------------
My comments:
1. Fortunately for the residents, MCL Land's pricing for this project is quite reasonable in-view of the high costs; that developers had to pay for the lease of the land.
2. Dislikes about this site: Close to the mosque.
3. For the fire station - this can be a double edged sword! Touch wood - should a fire occur; I believe, response time should be fast.
4. Nevertheless, let's look at the p.s.f. for this development:-
4.1 In 2000, the first opportunity to sell this unit `second-hand' price ranged between $480K to $530K p.s.f.
4.2 In 2001, the price dipped to $436K to $456K p.s.f.
4.3 In 2002, the price dipped to as low as $329K to $440K
5. In my opinion, many owners still made a PAPER loss. But, because, they purchased their apartments at a lower p.s.f, this paper loss (altough is painful) but is much lower than that of say .. the Sims Ville condo saga.
Therefore, Feng Shui or no Feng Shui; nowadays, no one can make much from 99 year leases - especially if they had purchased their units way above in my opinion, the threshold of not exceeding $450K.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master

I am interested in purchasing a unit at Simsville as I needed to stay near the Circle Line for my son to commute to school by himself and also for my husband to commute to work.

The units I saw are so far track facing. As the SMRT has installed noise barriers years ago, I find the noise from the mrt track acceptable. However, I need to check with you.. Do you think the way the MRT track runs poses any Sha Qi (poison arrow) to the development (I don't know how to tell if the mrt tracks "cuts into the development" -  because to me it seems straight hence it's better I seek expert advice from you). Next, from the window.. I can see the Chinese temple if I look to the left - the temple is not directly in front of the main window but if u turn to the left can see the temple - is that ok? Or, is that bad fengshui as well?  Facing the main living room window is the mrt track and a green open field... but if u look to the left it's the Chinese temple and if you look to the right, it's the mrt station.

I have seen 3 units so far - 2 units on 2nd floor (1 of which I had described above) . The other 2nd floor unit faces the mrt station and can't see temple.  The 3rd unit is on 9th floor (description is same as 2nd paragraph above - ie directly facing MRT track and green open field but if u look to left, can see temple)

Kindly advise & I thank you sincerely in advance for your time & input on this
