1. Attached is a rough sketch showing that most likely the home is nothing out of the ordinary. 2. Here, LEVEL 1 is often considered as the "ground floor" or level 1. 3. Just because your home has a basement dug in; this does not automatically mean that your Feng Shui "main reception area" or frontage is there. The basement is merely a convenient space to house your car(s) and allow easy entry and access to the cars via a so called door. 4. Thus LEVEL 1 is like most homes where supposely it is your main door entrance even if you enter via the "dug" out basement. 5. The sloping staircase, if you look at it is another block of landscaping that is perhaps higher than your level 1. But this does not mean that directly the home you mentioned is linked to it. 6. Your home is a standalone or shared amongst the rest of the homes with a LEVEL 1. And it decided to have e.g. Level 2 and Level 3 and /or even an attic or roof. 7. Therefore, in my opinion, this is how I would look at your home or this home. 8. There are many cluster homes of this design and some also have landscaped access areas with staircases that may be higher than your level 1. In my opinion = no big deal. And you cannot guage your house interior by this staircase unless the interior has split levels that mimic this slope.

These are some considerations: 1. Many cluster houses are similar to what you have provided: a car porch (most likely that can house two cars) that open towards a main door at the basement. 1.1. In theory, some think that this basement level is the main entrance area and some are concerned that the main entrance is dark and really just at the basement. 1.2. From a Feng Shui point of view; looking at one of the photo; there is a wooden door and sliding doors at the pool level. And for cluster homes this should or rather may be considered as the main entrance area both for purposes of calculating the frontage (P8 S2). 2. Is it a protrusion or missing area 2.1. In many instances, often, many of us are only good at seeing "missing areas" but often overlooked that in some circumstances, it could be a protrusion. 3. So why do you bring up Para 2? 3.1. Here, do you know that from looking at your photos; it seems that the ground level is at the pool side level and the "upwards" staircase is quite similar to what I wrote under Para 2... a mistaken illusion that somehow this home seems otherwise just like the mistaken identity that it is (not a protrusion). 3.2. Here, most likely, (correct me if I am wrong) the so called staircase is built more as a landscaping. As from what I can see, the ground level is at the swimming pool level. Ain't this the same as thinking something is a missing area but rather; it should be a protrusion, instead. 3.4. If so, this home is nothing out of the ordinary while something else is built beside it that is (landscaped to be higher as a link or "bridge" in SIMPLE TERMS to other parts of the same development even if it is higher or to some other areas.

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. Applying Flying Star Feng Shui, today is like: 1.1. Buying a car that goes from A to B andhas standard air-bag for the front two passengers, ABS, DCS etc..And maybe euro ncap 4 stars rating... to maybe 5 stars rating... 2. But applying Annual Flying Stars Feng Shui (OPTIONAL ACCESSORIES ARE NOT COMPULSORY) depends on how thorough it is and is like: 2.1. Car comes standard with euro ncap 5 stars rating and also:- 2.2. Additional air-bags for the driver's knees; and side pillar air-bags 2.3. radar systemthat detects that there is aneminent collision.. and car auto apply brakes... 2.4. In addition,depending on how thorough one applies annual starsadditional features like: night vision camera to better detect someone walking in front + anti doze vibration when car suddenly goes into the wrong lane... etc... 3. Many cars today... comes with Para 1.1. which in general is safe enough. But if one wants to go further than additional OPTIONAL accessories can be added (if one wants to)

1. In my opinion, we can draw from real-life situations. 2. There are no right or wrong answers, here. 3. Nor a fixed bible on Flying Star Feng Shui. 4. What I can share is this: 4.1. Driving a vehicle 4.2. We are told to be careful when driving a vehicle = Flying Star Feng Shui. 4.3. Some people attend DEFENSIVE driving lessons or take upon themselves to drive defensively. For example, when driving a vehicle, many defensive drivers always visual the for "corners" of their vehicle and avoid driving side-by-side with another vehicle but allow that vehicle to be in-front. 4.4. Here, once we obtain a driving licence (Flying Star Feng Shui) some prefer to go more of the defensive mode... by applying annual Flying Stars. 4.5. For example: under annual Flying Stars pay more attention to: 4.5.1. #5 and hope that this annual star is not in one's bedroom or frontage. 4.5.2. #2 simliar to the above 4.5.3. #3 quarrels, conflicts or lawsuits... check which sector it is located... 4.5.4. Anyway to enhance #8? Great if it is at the frontage .... etc... 5. No book on annual stars would go year by year ... thus.. common sense says that if you want to apply DEFENSIVE Flying Star Feng Shui; then read some of the above points.. which can be applied, year in year out.... 6. Thus in conclusion: there are still many who don't apply defensive (annual) Flying Stars.

1. For info, especially; the layouts: Penaga Place and it's surrounding homes were developed by the same developer and offered for sale. They are considered "as it is" or rather "take it" or leave it. Thus the owners have no control over the actual layout. 2. Do take note that the Flying Star chart of such units should be analysed first before becoming trigger happy and claim bad Feng Shui. There are such things as locking up bad stars or today, the mountain star #8 is found at the middle for certain centrepoint.

These are some considerations: 1. This is a semi-detached home. 2.The owner first showed me his plans to built an elevator at the valuable real-estate area which is the open area side of the home. See attached "Example 1". 2.1 What a waste to place a block of "air-tight" elevator at one of the THREE openings of a semi-detached. 3. Finally, based on common sense Feng Shui, it is moved towards Example 2. See attachment. 4. In addition, in the attached example 3, the sharp corner of an elevator can become poison (arrows)

1. Example of a TOP 2009: Penaga Place and nearby semi-di and terrace houses. 2. Here, as there are "three openings" for this house; common sense says that the elevator is built sharing the inner wall and in this sample, the staircase is "wrapped" around the elevator. 3. And in this built from scratch home; the elevator is installed at a pretty central location. But with existing homes; can understand this may not be quite possible if only A&A work is done. 4. Another hidden advantage is that it strengthens the framework of the staircase area.. nearly indestructable staircase.. provided the elevator does not catch fire and heats up the walll. But, hey! Who have heard of such a thing?

This is another example. Location: remains confidential. The elevator is next to (beside) the staircase area. And if one looks carefully, it is strategically or centrally located right in the middle of the house.

1. In Singapore, for the past 5 years or more, I have seen more layouts that had included an elevator. 2. Often, most of these homes are semi-detached or bungalow homes. 3. Especially for semi-detached homes; where there are often three "openings" (open areas); it is always advisable to build the elevator sharing the same wall as the neighbouring semi-detached shared wall vs placing it towards the "open side" even if this is an all glass elevator. As in doing so, would have wasted valuable "opening - real estate" which could have been better off with windows or other (balcony doors) etc... 4. Just make sure that as the elevator is like a squarish box, one of the corners (which is an angle) cuts towards the living room sofa.. 5. In addition, most designs so far is often next to the staircase landing. (But this is not compulsory in a large sized semi-di or bungalow. 6. Otherwise, generally, it is still acceptable.

These are some considerations: 1. House number interpretation is altogether a different thing. Here, often: one man's meat is another man's poison. 1.1 Many Chinese are influenced e.g. by the Cantonese dialect group who distinctively hate " 4 " (die) and even 14 = sure to die 2. However, it has no relation to Feng Shui. But more towards personal feel good or bad factor and subsequently may affect resale value; should one put the home in the market. 3. Frankly, if one knows Shapes and Forms and Compass School Feng Shui; these two major schools can be used to analyse sucha foreclosed home and check whether there are any major fatal errors (if any). 4. At best, the common sense is to bring all family members and get their feel of the home. 5. In general, if there are other better homes; and if one is aprehensive about buying a foreclosed home; then should frankly walk away from it.

I have something to share with you... come closer... I will whisper into your ear...

This notice services two purposes... 1. Dog Pooh 2. Dog urine...

These are some considerations: 1. If you can DIY a Flying Star; interpret it and use it to plan even an open office the better. 2. Based on both Shapes and Forms and Flying Star Feng Shui; it would be ideal if the main actor ; that of a boss or key personel's best location can be identified. (Include good sectors for key personnels such as Sales or Marketing / Accounting etc... 3. If you have no means of working on Para 1 and 2; then make sure that the key person's seating area is not near or next to a toilet (if applicable). 4. And another common sense is that most people don't like to seat with their backs facing an entrance or a door.

Mercedes benz and a host of other essentials for the dead..

Last Sunday, marks the start of the Chinese Lunar 8th month 2012.

1. Personally, I tend to avoid purchasing homes that incorporate a significant amount of drywall. 2. I believe that one of the primary offenders was the Livia @Pasir Ris, developed by CDL Developments. 3. I was astonished to discover that the Livia's TOP and all the internal walls, including those in the bedrooms and even the bathroom, are made of drywall. 4. It is advisable to consult with the developer prior to signing any agreements, especially if one shares my concerns; 5. Alternatively, while this may not be scientifically rigorous, some insights can be gleaned from a sales brochure. Pay particular attention to the thinness of the wall separating Bedroom 2 from Bedroom 3; it serves as a clear indication of what to expect.

The police will always advice citizens to be vigilant at all times and don't let their SKIRTS down... Oops! PANTS DOWN Oops! Guard down....

Further to whatI had written earlier: On the ground, behind the displays are empty water bottles. The owner of the shop uses such bottles to replenish water in each of their PUNY (tiny weany) water feature.... A single small drinking bottle is sufficient to fill each of the water "feature". I believe, one should not consider each of the displays as a water feature. But rather a too small, too useless water position.

1. Contrary to popular belief; activating such a water feature (see photos) is insignificant. 2. Perhaps, the only thing that some may end up activating is the activation by the bank to cancel one's already roll-over heavily indebted credit cards.. 3. Plus a call away from the bank to make that person a bankrupt! 4. Morale of the story: "Often, in the past and even today, I visit a new client and guess what... this piece of "junk" is put away ... or left forgotten... 5. As how many of us have the silly time to always top up the water for such a puny water feature?

Athough it is shocking to find the entire living room wall, bedroom 2 and 3 and shared with master bedroom's wall are "dry wall" i.e. can't hang e.g. tv set or heavy hooks; Photos show Block six (6) stacks some of which has air-con compressor at the frontage of the unit...

For the last six months, having been to and seen so many developments (at least 35 scattered) all over the island... I must say; although the Watertown is a 99 leasehold property; Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, I must truly say; this development has one of the better Feng Shui around.... Given that by 2016; there will be a glut of both new and old condo units; Watertown, both from a Feng Shui point and view and investment potential; would still fair pretty well. I have been to the show-room more than three times and love the mock-up of the model where especially the "my waterway@punggol"; the waterway seems to collect at the basin of this development. And how majestic especially the two blocks : 10 and 4 faces this lovely waterway. Top-marks for these Premium Stacks... Equally good for both residents and most business in this residential cum commercial plot of land!
