1. You can find the answer to your question, under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=28529&new= 2. Frankly, as there are many grains of pepples on the beach; there are also many geomancers and their differing view points. 3. The attached is Geomancy.net's interpretation of colours (British) [ colors - American ]. 4. Between the colours (colors) mentioned, there can be a range of hues. And in such instances the term "IT DEPENDS" applies.

The Studio Apartments (implies elderly flat) in this block are installed with an Alert Alarm System. When the alarm is activated please check an affected unit and provide assistance. "This unit needs your assistance. For emergency, please call: ...."

1. The rule of thumb is that if not sure, don't use it. (Please refer to why so, under Para 3, below) 2. Usually, one of the more common standard definition such as : "lily white" is a safer bet. As of course it has pink hues in it. But I believe it is still lighter than "pink". 3. As different paint manufacturers has variants of so called pink, thus it depends.Got to use eye-ball method to determine. Sometimes.. in their salesbrochure; it looks very faint pink, but when the actual wall has been painted; it may look "bloody pink or red".

In summary, if we stand at the main entrance door and can see stairs leading downwards; this symbolises "money down the drain". As mentioned, previously, by Singapore law, the staircase door by right should be closed at all times. If so, if the stairs cannot be seen; "it no longer becomes a threat"

The bad news: The main entrance door is facing the staircase. Worse still; the stairs is sloping downwards. The Good news: By (Singapore law) all doors leading into staircases has to be closed all the time. As these doors are usually 1/2 hour fire rated. For this illustration; most likely, the development (site) is still work-in-progress. Location: New HDB flats @ Havelock Road. Block 56 Havelock Road.

1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is best that there is no Sha Qi (poison arrow[s]) aimed towards the main entrance door. 2. In this illustration, just because it appears that there is a poison arrow of the 90 degree angle of a corridor wall; it does not necessarily mean that there is a poison arrow. Here, go and check it out! 3. The best way is to LOOK AT THE FLOOR TILES andfollow the imaginary line at 45 degress angle and see if it lands anywhere close to the main entrance door or not? 4. In this example; @ Blk 288A, Punggol Arcadia, fortunately, stack 809 is safe from the perceived "poison arrow". 5. If one follows the YELLOW line on two of the attached photos; the line does not cut into the main entrance door nor the grill gate.

These are some considerations: 1. What you mentioned can be sustainable especially if:- 1.1. the altar does not share the same wall as the stove and or toilet; 1.2. if the home has a second storey; directly; there must not be a toilet above the altar 2. The concept of "If it ain't broken, (no need) to fix it".

1. A cove lighting is built into ledges and recesses in a ceiling. 2. It also looks good or aesthetic and it also hides the light tubes etc.. 3. The major advantage is that it is very friendly to the eyes as it provides a very even lighting. 4. In Feng Shui, these are some considerations:- 4.1. Sometimes; many people mistaken the drop down ledges as a form of a beam. Especially if one seems to be seated below this ledge. 4.2. In reality, these are not load bearing beams; thus no physical harm. More likely psychological in nature. 4.3. Especially if we have visitors and many visitors comment that "Hey, it is no good to seat below a beam". Otherwise, no issue. 5. In reality, often, these recesses are a haven to both spiders and lizards whom often make these hidden areas their home. And in no time; there may be lots of lizard shit accumulated within these recesses. 5.1. Nowadays, some "sealed" up the cove areas; so as to deter insects. What do you think?

If there is a competition or contest to see who has the best bouquet of sprouting green beans; these two different bouquets got to be also considered as a front runner in the competition. Please note that there are two sets of photos. The 3 photos with the red base belong to a different set of bouquet of sprouting green beans.. Enjoy the photos...

1. During the 1970's the Housing and Development Board (HDB), which is a statuory board tasked to house ordinary citizens; built a one of the kind circular block of flats. 2. This iconic block located at 259 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 (at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 and Ang Mo Kio Ave 2.0 3. This is one and only circular design block built by HDB. There was never any more such an unusal circular clover leaf-like design. 4. Today, this single block of flat is called " The Clover @ KEBUN ". 5. As each stack / unit has an interior layout plan; many owners / tenants has to resort to tailor-made furnitures to fit the circular profile of the interior. 7. Today, 2011; these flats costs approximately around SGP $600K depending on floor level and facing directions.

These are further considerations: 1. As this layout plan has an "unusual" pistol like grip (main entrance narrow corridor) and other quirks like a protuding balcony and some missing corner to the left side of the balcony; 1.1. Thus based on the ART of determining the center of this layout; one must take note that in such a situation; particularly the "pistol grip"; it is not practical to apply what I had mentioned; the idea of matching missing corners with protusions. 1.2. In many purely rectangular and squarish layout plans without unusual protusions like the above pistol grip; using eye-ball; often I would try to visualise to make sure that the missing corners is nearly equal to the protusions in the layout plan. 2. For this entire outline which looks like a Buck Rogers or Star Trek type of pistol gun or laser gun; may seriously consider the photo copy of the layout + paste it on a cardboard and cut out the outline and balance a pin to find the center of gravity. 3. When determing the center point of a layout; in some cases we can apply "Science to it" especially common rectangular and even triangle layout plans. But with unusual protusions; we may have to in this case apply the "ART" of determining the centerpoint.

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, on the contrary, often or rather the "opposite" is the case. Here, for majority of people; they would think "thrice" or none-at all; the notion of putting their ancestor tablet in other people's home. 2. Firstly, as you had metioned; if we were to place ourselves in other's shoe; we would not want to "inconvenience" the "owner" of the home in imposing our "ancestor tablet" in other's home since perhaps we are renting only a room. 3. But, if you are renting the entire home; yes, so long as the tenant does not drill holes; and they bring in an altar plus gods and/or ancestor tablet; this has been done before. 4. But if the house is still stayed in by an old couple and the tenant rents a room then; most of us don't feel comfortable with this arrangement. 5. This may be far fetched; but often, if there are other immediate relatives; living in Singapore, it is up to the tenant to negotiate with his/her sister/brother or other family members to "park" the ancestor tablet at their home instead. This is only the right thing to do. 6. As a last resort, often if it is just symbolic an ancestor tablet; could be considered. However, if it is urn containing ashes.. then best that "these people (the tenant)" buy a niche at one of the colomburian and house it there and then.

1. In my opinion, there is a "third-method". 2. This method is takes into consideration the overall shape of the interior layout. 2.1. For example, if the outline of the unit looks oval; then why not draw an exact oval outline of the layout plan and from there find the centerpoint. Please see attachment. 2.2. After doing so, becase this unit has an overly long entrance passage way, often this can slightly change the center-of-gravity. 2.3. Thus in this example, to fine tune or compensate, I have moved the "center-of-gravtiy" to the location marked by the GREEN arrow. 3. In my opinion, for those who fear of getting the centerpoint wrongly or vastly wrong; then may consider this method. For example, one can fold the sheet into two or middle and with a scissors cut out half the outline and after doing so, unfold the two halves and one gets to see the oval shape with the folded outline which is the middle point. Fold the other half...

1. Personally, I love to visualise the "center-of-gravity" of just any layout plan. 2. For this rather oval cum handle (main entrance passage way) type of layout plan; 3. In the first example, I try to visualise the larger outline and where to place the boundary. 4. In this 2nd example, I call this method "think small" or think petit: and try to visualise the layout from a smaller perspective or smaller inner area. Please see attachment. 5. After comparing this example with the first example; I found that it seems like the centerpoint (in my opinion) is identical at marking "A". Thus, I personally feel that marking "A" seems a better choice of the center-of-gravity for this layout plan. 6. Of course, the best method is to photo-copy the layout, paste it onto a cardboard and cut-out the exact outline and balance it on a pin. In both my examples, I am using "personal feel and estimate".

In my opinion, based on the best guess of centre-of-gravity using the "eye-ball plus feel" I believe if one were to place the outline of the layout on a card-board; the best guest is that the centrepoint (or centre-of-gravity) should lie between the range of marking(S) "A" or "B". Please see attachment. If so, the centerpoint in this layout should (NEVER) be inside the utility room. The center of the house should be just outside the fringe of the utility room.

These are some considerations: 1. Based on a quick glance and using the "eye-ball" method; most likelyhood the centrepoint is as marked in PURPLE = please see attachment. 2. However, for some people, the centrepoint or rather the center-of-gravity would normally be along the range in blue between the range of marking "A" to "B" thereabouts.

Not only it is bad to renovate at EAST sector this year:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=28295&new= But also, homes facing east direction; has a double wammy in that the Tai Sui (Grand Duke) and the nasty Five Yellow #5 is at the facing direction E2.

In my opinion, these are some considerations:- 1. Reference resource: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=30085&new=%3EHouse%20Hunting%20:%20A%20Lot%20Position%20-%20%3Cem%3EFeng%20Shui%3C/em 2. The climax of your woes leading to this year is that for this year, #5 (Five Yellows) and Grand Duke (Tai Sui) is at your facing direction E2. 3. Generally, things should get better closer to November onwards as the next year's qi gets stronger and stronger. 4. Thus, you shouldcorrect to say thatthe home should still be Period 7; butstacked against your luck this year is the influence of untimely bad stars at the frontage ofthe direction of your home@ E2 facing...

These are some considerations: 1. You should check what type of bagua mirror you are using. 2. If you do a search under this forum; there are already lots of resouces on the type of mirrors: 2.1 In GENERAL, the mirror that you should be using; in modern times is a conVEX mirror. 2.2 In the past, perhaps, it was harder to mould a conVEX mirror; often especially in the 1950s to 1960s -1970's the most common mirrors are the FLAT type. 3. The best mirror, to use today to deflect poison arrow or sha qi is the conVEX mirror. While in the past the FLAT type is the only version available thus in the past, there was no choice but use this version : which often has a bagua trigram on the outer ring and a small flat mirror in the middle of this ba gua. 4. For poison arrows never use the conCAVE mirror. As it's purpose is to "capture" e.g. good scenery or meant for a location with missing area or corner. 5. As to a mirror facing main door; frankly, if you were to post this question to various Feng Shui practitioners, you may get different or differing views or answers. 5.1. For example, a geomancer may argue that it is good to place a mirror inside the home; as when one opens the door; the mirror will be an additional safeguard as it will reflect back the tree trunk away from the home. 5.2. On the flip side; one may have to check the flying star number(s) at that sector. if the sector is not good; then the mirror is said or can be said to reflect further "bad luck". For example, if the sector has #5 misfortune and sickness + #2 sickness; it is said that not so good to place a mirror to further inflame the sector. Therefore, in this area; there can be controversy in the use of the mirror.

1. The best way to ascertain the answer to your question is if possible; plot a flying star chart. 2. Check what is the Flying Stars at the centrepoint of the home or apartment. 3. Often, after ploting the flying star number(s); there are usually two possible outcomes:- 3.1. OUTCOME ONE: If the flying star numbers are not so good e.g. Mountain Star #5 with Water Star #9; then it is good that this is a utility room. If it is a utility room; one can "lock it up" when not in use. If it ispurely a maid's bedroom; then can't help it, often the door may need to be opened to allow air to flow into the room when she is in it. (Don't want her to fall sick due to stagnant air flow. 3.2. OUTCOME TWO: If the flying stars are very auspicious and if they are trapped at the centrepoint of the home. THUS, in this case, the REVERSE is true. Instead of locking up the utility room; hopefully this is a walkway or passage way. So that the good stars are not inadvertenly locked up. Here, if it is a store or utility, then to answer your question; not that good as the good qi is "wasted" as it is trapped at the centrepoint.

Under symbolism in Feng Shui; the best way to redress the concern is:- http://forum.geomancy.net/events/CDL_Talk_2/cdl_talk_2_slide_52.htm Usually sorry to add the pun "sane people don't place a partition" between their bed and the bedroom door especially if the bedroom is miserably small. Here, a partition if it is solid (air-tight) would often cause "stagnant qi" area for those sleeping at the "corner" closest to the partition wall. This is more of a concern than what you mentioned although it is equally not so good sounding..

In my opinion, you may have taken too large a shoe to fill. In your case, it is like in real life, you may have to employ a consultant for your project. This is a fact of life. Thus frankly, resources for your thesis, will not come with a silver spoon or any spoon. Good Luck.

These are some considerations:- 1. I would agree if the logic was because if one has a narrow or small living room, such an L-shaped sofa may not go well with the interior decor, that is all. 2. A sofa is always low height and I don't see the logic that it may result in an in-balance due to = sharp corner. 3. If one says that then, logically; rectangular dining tables or even squarish rectangular coffee table (if one buys the above argument implies that these are greater threats. 4. In Singapore, in my opinion, I often encounter modern homes with l-shaped sofas. At least 3 out of ten homes have them as this is like a lazy bed in thr living room.

In my opinion, what you mentioned should often be regarded more to do with the interior decor e.g. preference than Feng Shui of the sofa. In Feng Shui, what is more important perhaps than the shape is the colour. For example; certain areas may not accept too much RED or GREEN colour. Under common sense; there was some scientific fact that mosqitoes prefer BLUE colour. Thus, if one stays at the ground level or low floors; perhaps may avoid blue sofa. In theory, of course, colours and shapes are associated with different elements:- http://talk.geomancy.net

Just as we had understood: placing tissue paper packets on a table means someone will be occupying the table soon... Look at these photos! This group places umbrellas for the same thing!
