1. In Feng Shui, it is considered inauspicious for the main entrance door to face the dining table. 2. Again, this has very much to do with common sense than actually Feng Shui. Or rather, some attribute it to "in the name of poor Feng Shui". 3. Why common sense? 3.1. Although many living in a condo, don't often leave their main entrance door ajar or opened (fully). If so, many don't feel nice eating and a neighbour pass-by. If so, some may "politely" say hi to their neighbour(s) or cordially "invite" them for dinner. 3.2. Often, we get to see a dining table piled up with "tons" of items : more like a rubbish heap in a visitor's eyes. Thus, when someone walks in the first impression of the house will be the dining table. And if it is an eye-sore... then considered "inauspicious".

Lady, where do you want me to place this Mountain (star)? Erh.... rubbish...

"The best place to enjoy a 1080 pixels resolution view is no less than 6 feet from the source." Those who know, know BEST....

The stacks do not face the junction unlike some newer designed blocks. For example blocks 281 and 284 do not have stacks that face a junction. Location: Toh Guan Road

Has PAC MAN anything to do with the designs of the various blocks of flats found in the attached street directory map? Or was the architect a fan of PAC MAN and wanted to immortalise PAC MAN in his/her design of the block of flats in various parts of Bukit Batok?

Wild birds + bird flu?

Nowadays, there is a major concern of bird flu and bird droppings. Since the 1980's many HDB flats slope anything that looks and feels like a roof. This is to prevent birds resting onto the ledge. With such slopping roof, birds will avoid them like the plaque..

Look what some place on top of their cash register... In this case a range large x 2 (pair) of oranges

Especially on a roof-top of a building; sometimes, it is safer not to have any objects such as a lone tree taller than the building's highest lightning rod. Many a times, I have encountered lighting strikes on tall trees on top of a home or even a penthouse's roof top. Such as shown in the photo. Location: Southaven II condo.

The saying goes: One man's meat is another man's poison... There are tons of numerology calculations. And in this example, the current Prime Minister of Malaysia loves the number "11". For Najib, it all adds up to 11 PETALING JAYA - When Prime Minister Najib Razak announced Parliament's dissolution on Wednesday, it was apparently linked to his favourite number - 11. Datuk Sen Najib's audience with the Malaysian King took place on 3/4/13: The numerals added up to 11 (3+4+1+3), as observed by Deputy Higher Education Minister Saifuddiri Abdullah. When Mr Najib was driven to the palace, he was in a Proton limousine with the number plate WRX 11. He lives in house number 11 in exclusive Tainan Duta in Kuala Lumpur. He was also Pahang's 11th Menteri Besar, serving there from 1982 to 1986.

Three kinds of luck: Heaven, Earth and Human/Man Luck....

As mentioned, earlier. If one considers luck; for the Chinese, it consists of the Holy Trinity of Luck. However, if the 1st two kinds of luck: Heaven and Earth luck sounds greek; There is a third kind of luck: Human or man luck. Hear what some Chinese have to say about this kind of "treatment": http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27133&new=%3Cbr

Please use the SEARCH feature on the top-left frame of this forum. Can key in terms like "bed against altar". I am sure, you should be able to find quite a lot of information on or similar to this subject.

Frankly, even if the door does not face nice direction; some consider number of fishes. If you want to read up about this topic, one can review this past resource: http://fountain.geomancy.net

Based on pure common sense: "It is no point crying over spilled milk". Equally, no point banging one's head against the wall. Common sense says: The Concept of Maximizing Marks If it is there, what measure or measures are you talking about? You want a miracle to happen is it? Common sense, says, try toimprove in other areas.

1. If considers it from a geomancy point of view; then it is a holistic approach. 2. A holistic approach consists of three kinds of luck: 2.1. Earth Luck: Feng Shui (Home and office) 2..2. Heaven Luck: born with 2.3. Human and man luck 3. In my opinion, any of the above can change... 3.1 For example, under Earth Luck; one may have to troubleshoot using Flying Star Feng Shui and check the annual stars:- 2013 Flying Star Forecast North 6 1 8 7 5 3 2 9 4 South Take note the following sectors:- Sickness Star this year is at South-West Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at Center Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at East Education/Romance Star this year is at South-East Grand Duke this year is South-South-East, 150 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is East. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. 3.2 This includes, trying to avoid sitting and facing South-South-East 150 degrees when playing majong. 3.3. Under Flying Stars, some of the stars if they are in the wrong locations of your home can also affect your "majong" luck. 4. Heaven Luck. 4.1. Under heaven luck even if you are a rooster but you thought that it would be a great year, but under bazi, it can be totally different in six monthly periods. 4.2. this SAMPLE illustration shows one's luck can change in each 6 monthly periods: SAMPLE ILLUSTRATION ONLY Analysis for Age 22 - 31 (2027 - 2036) Luck (3) [2027 to 2036] is an inauspicious period as it does not favour your 10 yearly Big Luck Period.

This development has a distinctive funnel shape. In fact, as I mentioned, one needs to do a proper triage. A client had moved in to a unit (see sample attachment) for three years and I last spoke to them, were doing very well. In fact, he calls me for annual adjustment. The unit is bigger than the one you posted to the forum. In fact, in the past, there are several clients who had upgraded, to other developments from this development. Frankly, very few homes are "gone case" type.

As mentioned, previously if one were to apply Feng Shui, it involves a process known as Triage. To better understand the term Triage; if you have the time, please read thru this link:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage

In my opinion, in general, under Shapes and Forms, this type of layout is not "ideal". You wrote: "Hi Master, is this a funnel triangle that absorb Qi that is a position triangle as at the gate its small n inside is big? " As to whether this funnel shaped triangle "aborbs Qi" etc... ; frankly QI FLOWis about the FLOW of Qi within the interior in relation to the furniture(s) e.g. partition if any; plus windows that are opened, closed or partially opened. Thus, off-hand, such "claims" you mentioned cannot be justified.

Personally, I don't think Option C is feasible; especially or in particular because of the narrow passage. I equally don't like Option A. Else, one shouldplay the song "Smoke gets in your eyes".

Source: www.scmp.com Incense fumes could do more harm to your health than tobacco smoke It's one of the familiar smells of Asia, from the temple to the family altar, but the next time you are surrounded by a cloud of incense smoke you may want to hold your nose. Research in Taiwan has lent credence to suspicions that the joss sticks and incense that are burned as offerings to the gods may get you to heaven far quicker than you'd like. Medical professionals have long suspected that joss sticks and incense - usually containing a blend of plant extracts and oils - emit harmful fumes when burned. Now, researchers from Taiwan's National Cheng Kung University in Tainan say joss fumes contain particulate matter, gases and organic compounds that could be more harmful than tobacco smoke. "On average, incense burning produces particulates greater than 45 milligrams per gram burned, as compared to 10mg/g for cigarettes," says a report by Cheng Kung University's department of engineering. Researchers studied the make-up and fumes from incense, joss sticks, cones and coils, and analysed smoke from a Taipei temple, which was found to contain high levels of compounds blamed for causing lung cancer. Emissions levels were higher than at a city road junction. The toxins found are harmful to the lungs and can cause allergic reaction to the skin and eyes. Lin Ta-chang, a spokesman for the Cheng Kung group, likens incense and joss-stick fumes to second-hand smoke. "Pollutants emitted from incense burning in an enclosed environment are harmful to human health," he says. "While it is relatively difficult to directly study the effect of incense smoke pollutants on health, several epidemiological studies have suggested that they do cause health problems." Incense burning produces volatile organic compounds such as benzene, toluene and xylenes, as well as aldehydes and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, the study found. The scientists, who conducted their study research in 2008, noted that during some major ceremonies, hundreds or even more than 1,000 joss sticks are burned at the same time. Britain's National Health Service, which reviewed the Taiwanese study, said: "Smoke is smoke, and cigarette smoke is not the only type of smoke that is harmful." A multinational study in 2008 also found that exposure to incense fumes posed significant public health implications. Jeppe Friborg, of the Statens Serum Institut in Copenhagen, and colleagues in Singapore and the US studied associations between exposure to incense and a spectrum of respiratory tract cancers. They sampled 61,320 Singaporean Chinese who were free of cancer and aged between 45 and 74 from 1993 to 1998, studying respondents' living conditions and dietary and lifestyle factors until 2005. They found 325 upper-respiratory tract cancers - including nasal/sinus, tongue, mouth, laryngeal and others - and 821 lung cancers during the follow-up period. The American Cancer Society said at the time that "incense use is associated with a significantly increased risk of upper-respiratory tract cancer" although there was no overall effect on lung cancer. "It also considerably increased the risk in `never' smokers, which points to an independent effect of incense smoke." The Taiwanese researchers also cited a 1996 report in the journal Cancer that showed a high incidence of nasopharyngeal carcinoma in male Hong Kong patients who burn incense, compared with other malignant cases. They found that 74.5 per cent of the nasopharyngeal cancer cases studied and 52 per cent of all other malignant cases were exposed to incense smoke, and concluded that incense smoke could be a factor. Ko King-tim, an engineering professor at City University now in remission from the cancer, says the public must be aware of such risks although he doesn't link his disease with incense-burning. "Most people are not aware of the causes of various cancers. Some are genetic, some are [linked to] substances or stress-induced," says Ko, who created a website for people with nasopharyngeal cancer. "Most people in Hong Kong are unaware of the early symptoms of different cancers. Awareness of these early symptoms could save a lot of lives," he says. "Air pollutants such as incense smoke or car exhaust fumes are hazardous to health, whether [they cause] cancers or other illnesses." Although various "herbal" and "natural" incense options are also sold on the internet, the Taiwanese researchers stopped short of calling for an end to the deeply rooted tradition of burning incense, with Lin recommending devotees "keep the room well-ventilated" while they burn it. "It will effectively dilute indoor air pollutants and hence reduce the risk of exposure." Incense sticks have a slender bamboo stick onto which the mixture of ingredients is attached, while joss sticks come without the stick. Stick incense is the most popular in temples in Asia. While the exact content of incense sticks is a commercial secret, most are made from a combination of fragrant gums, resins, wood powders, herbs and spices, the report says. A typical stick of incense comprises, by weight, 21 per cent herb and wood powder, 35 per cent fragrance material, 11 per cent adhesive powder and 33 per cent bamboo stick. Source: www.scmp.com

Before selecting Option A, please take some time to read some of the following search results:- NEW YORK | Mon Aug 25, 2008 3:18pm EDT NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Burning incense may create a sweet scent, but regularly inhaling the smoke could put people at risk of cancers of the respiratory tract, researchers reported Monday. In a study of more than 61,000 ethnic Chinese living in Singapore who were followed for up to 12 years, the investigators found a link between heavy incense use and various respiratory cancers. The findings are published in the medical journal Cancer. Incense has been used for millennia in many cultures' religious and spiritual ceremonies. In Asia, people commonly burn incense in their homes -- a practice that is becoming more popular in Western countries as well. Incense is usually derived from fragrant plant materials, like tree bark, resins, roots, flowers and essential oils. Past research has found that burning these materials can produce potentially cancer-causing substances, including benzene and polyaromatic hydrocarbons. However, no studies until now had linked the practice of burning incense to an increased cancer risk over time, according to the researchers, led by Dr. Jeppe T. Friborg of the Statens Serum Institute in Copenhagen. For their study, the researchers followed 61,320 Singapore Chinese men and women between the ages of 45 and 74 from the Hokkien or Cantonese dialect group. All of the subjects were cancer-free at the outset. Participants reported on their typical incense use, including how often they burned it in their homes and for how long -- only at night, for instance, or all day and night. Over the next 12 years, 325 men and women developed cancer of the upper respiratory tract, such as nasal, oral or throat cancer. Another 821 developed lung cancer. The researchers found that incense use was associated with a statistically significant higher risk of cancers of the upper respiratory tract, with the exception of nasopharyngeal cancer. However, they observed no overall effect on lung cancer risk. Those who used incense heavily also had higher rates of a type of cancer called squamous cell carcinoma, which refers to tumors that arise in the cells lining the internal and external surfaces of the body. The risk was seen in smokers and nonsmokers. Study participants who used incense in their homes all day or throughout the day and night were 80 percent more likely than non-users to develop squamous cell carcinoma of the entire respiratory tract. The link between incense use and increased cancer risk held when the researchers weighed other factors, including cigarette smoking, diet and drinking habits. "This association is consistent with a large number of studies identifying carcinogens in incense smoke," Friborg's team writes, "and given the widespread and sometimes involuntary exposure to smoke from burning incense, these findings carry significant public health implications." They say further studies are needed to see whether different types of incense are associated with different degrees of cancer risk. In Singapore, the researchers note, most people burn long sticks or coils of incense that burn slowly over an extended period. SOURCE: Cancer, October 1, 2008.

My questions are: 1. Do I need to find an auspicious day and time to hang it up? A1: As this is to neutralise sha qi; usually not necessary to do so. Frankly, there is often NO HARM if one is kinda free and want to find a gooddate and time to do so. As opposed toMUST-have. Thus, ausp. day and time is considered as NICE-to have and not a MUST-do. 2. After hanging the bagua, can we keep our door open all the time? Keeping the main door close, make our home very humid and stuffy. A2. Somewhere in the Photo Tours of interest conference, there are photos of various types of ba gua mirror. The attached is not the correct photo.Please note that the attachment shows a concave mirror.But it shows a better design e.g. a red (plastic) rim with a large eg. convex mirror in the middle. What you bought is still OK . But what you bought is meant for two fold purposes: 1. Protection against (local ghosts or spirits. Foreign ghosts not scared of the ba gua trigram) 2. The convex mirror to do the actual job of what your first purpose is for. Frankly, if you don't need "protection" against spirits or ghosts; then SOMETHING like my photo + convex mirror in the middle, should be a better choice. After hanging the bagua, can we keep our door open all the time? A3. The concept of "You stay there, we don't apply". Frankly, this is not science fiction. There is no e.g. death ray aimed towards our (YOUR) home from the neighbour other than the irritating ba gua mirror; hung by the neighbour. Personally, as a human being; after reading the above statement; if I were also in your SHOES, I would equally not forgo "freedom" or rather fresh air. And would also keep (my) door opened... all the time... (other than sleeping time if at home). I don't see any penalty or "self-inflicting" wounds if any if the doors were opened most of the time....
