1. In my opinion, this is a very long snaking river that is from East (K L) flowing west towards the mouth of the river close to the Port Klang area. 2. It is good that this river has a high river bank. 3.In my opinion, should generally be OK. In fact along the large stretch of this river; there are tributories and it is a pretty long river. And along the river there are lots of development. 4. Quite exclusive area. 5. South facing from now to 2023 is OK or better than your neighbour's North facing home.

1. Please refer to attachment - center of gravity. 2. Your second question has "missing-links".To understand, better:- Feng Shui Triage

1. In Singapore which is at the equator, the geographic north is very close (or equal to) the magnetic north. 2. If you have the time, can go thru some of the resources, under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=27494&new 3. If your condo is fairly new (less than 10 years old); most likely, the siteplan is still available from the sales brochure or on the internet. Or goto http://onemap.sg to use the streetdirectory plan and a protractor to obtain the correct compass readings. 4. Your readings often differ due to magnetic influence from steel structures embedded in the columns and even floorings. 5. Alternatively you may take compass readings from the exterior; e.g. grass area (provided there are no remants of steel or metal somewhere hidden.) 6. In your case, based on the most yang qi: you should use the compass readings standing inside each room looking out of the rooms or standing inside the living room looking outwards. 7. The only pity is all your readings are diverse. 8. If you are using a iphone 4 compass then try to set to TRUE NORTH vs MAGNETIC NORTH (for those in the equator only). If you don't live near the equator e.g. in the United States of America; better set to the Magnetic North.

These are some considerations: 1. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, instead of hanging mirrors and faceted crystal balls; in traditional Feng Shui; a hulu or bottle gourd is often used, instead. 2. As mentioned in many previous messages; usually; in general bad Feng Shui arise when a home has three or more major "leaks". 3. Often, although the toilet is considered as ONE major leak; often it is the combination of this leak plus two or more major leaks (or a combination of several minor leaks into one).

Note: the attachment is strictly based on both Common sense and Shapes & Forms Feng Shui. Does not take into consideration the best bed-head direction(s) based on the Eight House or Four Good/Bad directions. 1. The main concern is the air-con vents. 2. In your orginal layout plan, assuming that one often turns on the air-con; the bed and (bed-head - body) is very close to the air-con vents. 3. Thus, because of the air-con, the bed has been moved. Of course, because of the new location of the sofa, make sure that air-con vents don't blow directly towards it. 4. If you maintain the original layout plan, then one may like to Cabinet / three doors with the TV console. As it is more natural to see TV in that position.

1. My most recentSuunto compass is the model: Suunto KB-14/360 PTI COMPASS ZO for REGION 3. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=27494&new 2. However, it has been with more for around 3 to 4 years. Costs around I forgot approximately SGP $260 thereabouts. 3. I bought it at Far East Plaza (basement). There are two suba-diving shops at the basement. 4. Make sure that to check out the above link where the back aluminium face-plate has been stamped with a Number : #3 = region THREE for Singapore use. For other countries, there is a correction markings also on the back for declination deviations. 5. Below has a link to my older plastic body Suunto compass (which I had lost):- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=8615&new=%3EHouse%20Hunting%20:%20A%20Lot%20Position%20-%20%3Cem%3EFeng%20Shui%3C/em 6. Please note that if you are not into professional Feng Shui, don't really need to invest in such a compass. 7. Do take note that these Suunto compass should also not be too close to concrete/re-bar pillars. 8. I am not sure if this model is still around: Suunto KB-14/360 PTI COMPASS ZO as I have it for around 3 to4 years ago after losing my earlier plastic casing Suunto as found in the second link.

Usually for a west group, of course SW to West to NW forms a continous range. Thus for practical reasons, if the bedroom is small or tiny, could face these range instead of tilting.

These are some considerations: 1. True North All streetdirectory maps be it printed or on soft-copy are based on True North (Geographic North). Even google GPS maps that we download and use are also based on true north. 2. If one is at or close to the equator, the angle of difference between True North and Magnetic North or this angle is called declination is slight. 3. Those professional compass, like my favourite i.e. brand Suunto has land-compass that are grouped into 5 regions. At the equator (or equator) use; the Number is 3. 4. In many of the past forum messages, I had posted especially at the equator, one can use a streetdirectory, super-impose the protractor and match the "facing direction" of a home with it. 5. At the equator or in Singapore; Iphone 4's compass has two settings: True North and Magnetic Compass. 5.1. If one tries to use the Iphone 4's compass to take a reading inside the home, it is preferred to set to TRUE NORTH. This is because, majority of Singapore homes are built of bricks and cement with steel re-bar. And if one is too close to a pillar, the readings may be inaccurate. 5.2. Please note that even if one is not close to the support beams or walls, many homes or apartments also have steel wires or steel re-bars that line each of the floors. And if one is standing above steel "cage like" structures, the readings may be inaccurate. 6. Thus to use the streetdirectory + protractor + match the interior layout to it and then plot it onto a layout plan i.e. the compass cardinal points and look into each room compass directions. 7. If the Iphone Luopan application has option to use True north or magnetic north; in Singapore, close to the equator, one can use the True North indoors. But if one is further north, the futher one is north or south, then the declination error rate is high. 8. Thus if at the North Pole, the TRUE geographic North can differ from the Magnetic north by at least 500 kms!

1.It is always best to beclear. 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui,it is about compass directions. 3. For example, maybe to you; you are clear about the"right" side. 4. To me,I would consider the median point of the home and to the right side can be vast: NE,East and SE. 5. While the left side of North can have NW, West and SW. 6. It is preferred not to have the kitche at NW: if you do call this the LEFT side. 7. With such a hazy term call RIGHT side (or even LEFT) side... it's anyone's guess. 8. Even for a trapezoid shaped home, make sure that the top-view profile of the home is as rectangular as possible.

What you mentioned sounds logical. However, since many herbs comes or derive there nourishment from the soil (earth); some may associate it with earth. Overall, a tradition Chinese practitioner often can be associated with the wood element. Again, there is no absolute right or wrong answers.

Yesterday, went for an appointment, near-by. This food stall (operated by a mainland Chinese) in the Midview Building at Bukit Batok has the signage that says " Everyone OK kitchen".

Please refer to attachment: Under Flying Star Feng Shui; and even Eight House Feng Shui; what is the difference between: standing at:- A looking out towards B C towards D E towards F G towards H I towards J? Additional Resources:- Eight House or Flying Star

It is good that you have understood the major concepts. And re-adjusted the center-of-gravity by not taking into consideration the veranda. This good. As for the internal changes; generally you have acceptable understanding of the concepts. As far, as this forum goes, firstly we don't go deep into the internal organs especially just looking on a very rough sketch. There are things like doors, windows, purely the actual layout. Therefore, it is up to you to try and maximize or work out the layout based on all the concepts that you had understood.

1. In this case, given that you might not want to redo the cabinet at A; then based on this decision; "D" is by the best choice. While the other option at the corridor is definitely not practical or close to being ridiculous based the layout plan. 2. Sorry, my principle is never endorse shops specific to Feng Shui items. Always bring along a ruler or better still a Feng Shui ruler when buying an altar. The easiest is to make sure that the top and bottom measurements are all in RED for altar. 3. Usually the top markings are for Yang or for the living. 4. While the lower markings on the Feng Shui ruler is for the dead or deity. 5. Thus for an altar, it MUST best be the harmony of both Yin and Yang. 6. Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm. Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm 7. Often if one is placing a deity e.g. Guan Yin or other deity, one can purchase a Luopan and place it horizontally below such a deity "to increase it's stength. Placing it vertically behind the Guan Yin (needs expert help so don't ever place vertical unless it is via a Geomancer) For an ancestor table, Para 7 does not apply.

In my opinion, both your questions can be categorized as: common sense. 1. Most people may feel uncomfortable with our back against a door or opening. If it is an office environment, a mirror, much like the rear view kind, may be mounted nearby or on the edge if monitor screen. Also applies for the home. 2. Curtains must be washed often to avoid germs and bacterial to grow. 3. Closing the door is ok.

SENARIO 1. For example, some homes are like an unpolished gem. Once polished properly (e.g. fixed the leaks and areas that could be improved); can or may do wonders. SENARIO 2. Some apartmetns are like a 10 year run-down 1,000cc car. No matter how one tries to improve the car; can't pretend that next day, this run-down car becomes a BMW or Mercedes. Frankly, all these need to be investigated and reviewed and analysed before one can even comment on such things.

Views in and around Clover By the Park @Bishan, Bishan St 25

1. Honestly, as all of us know, for an apartment, there is no way we can relocate a toilet. 2. In previous forum messages, I had mentioned that often it takes more than 3 or more MAJOR"leaks" to make the Feng Shui negative in a home or apartment. 3. Thus, a toilet at the centre of the apartment is considered as just ONE MAJORleak. 4. Therefore, in your case, if you are applying Feng Shui; then make sure that your apartment has no more than 2 or more MAJOR leaks. 5. The most sensible approach or rather common sense approach is to read up the following:- The Concept of Maximizing Marks

A) Beside balcony, faces an opposite wall behind. No sun.

Location: Clover by the Park Condo, Bishan Street 25(Recently TOP in August 2011) The condo opted for bomb shelters at the common staircase instead of having a household (bomb) shelter in individual units. This allows for better planning of the interior layout without having to work the layout plan around this household (bomb) shelter. -- Notice pasted on each bomb shelter door -- This staircase is designed to serve as civil defence sotrey shelters (SS) during a war emergency for residents who do not have civil defence household shelters in their units. Staircase SS are povided under the Civil Defence Shelter Act 1997. Conversion of Staircase into Civil Defence Storey Shelters: In the event of an impending war emergency, the Singapore Civil Defence Force (SCDF) will announce appropriate instructions to the population. Within the time period specified in the announcement, the building Management Corporation (MC) will manage the conversion of the staircase into a series of adjoining SS, compartmented from one another by SS doors at staircase entrances and landings, The onversion taks may be found in the staircase Storey Shelter Operation and Maintenance Manual held by the MC. During a War Emergency: The MC is expected to manage the staircase SS according to guidelines given in the aforesaid manual. Generally, for their own protection when the "Alarm" signal has been sounded or given, residents are to: - Move into their allocated SS without delay, close the entrance SS door and all adjoining landing SS doors by putting the door handles to "Position B" (as shown in the diagram below). - Reamin in their allocated SS and not move into adjoining SS. For protection reasons, it is important to ensure all SS doors are fully closed and the door handles kept in "Postion B", to maintain every SS as a separate compartment. - Switch on the radio or TV set to receive information on the war emergency and any instructions from the SCDF. Use the telephone set as necessary. - Open the entrance SS door and leave the SS only after the "All Clear" signal has been sounded or given.

Part 2: From the sketch, it is hard to tell whether the "verandah" is a living space or at 2nd storey. But if there is no living space just below this verandah, then may have to exclude it when determining the centrepoint of the home. Thus your centrepoint may move closer to the middle of the rectangle. And treat the verandah area as a protusion. However, if there are living spaces as you had drawn with the proposed change of door direction; then what you had determined the centre of gravity is OK. The facing of the house is probably the same as above, but the main door, when compass reading is done from the center point of the house shows around 165 S. There's also a possibility to change the main door to the yellow A wall but I wouldn't be able to reconstruct it during the next year because of the Grand Duke position here in 2012. Anyway changing the main door location won't probably change the house facing. Do you think that moving to the right (blue) side with S or SE main door orientation might help me? From my many observations; there are two sides of the coin when changing the main door e.g. to A from the current position: 1. This is often temporary as ultimately, if we were to apply Flying Star Feng Shui, it is often still best to consider the brightest side as the facing direction. Thus most likely, the red zone. 2. Changing to fit the eight-house is considered "peanuts" or less of a ranking than Flying Star Feng Shui. And sometimes, say sealing the main door e.g. if it is at the red zone area may affect the Feng Shui (Flying Star) if the opening is sealed completely: Is this red zone still become the facing direction especially if there are lesser openings at this area. For example, if the main entrance consists of two huge similiar sized doors and say sealing it up (other than replacing with wide windows) may affect the way one applys the Flying Star - is this still the facing direction? The other question is, we changed all the roofing the last year but the roof is flat so there wasn't any opening, just a new covering was placed. Can I consider the house to be an 8 period house or not? Based on your description, most ikely not if just a new covering was placed.

Part 1: Please see my comments in red, below:- Here is the story. If you see the attached file I do live in a semidetached 2-story house, in the left (pink) side. The compass reading is following (but not sure if I found the center correctly): -

If you are applying Flying Star Feng Shui; then: 1. Best to determine where the most yang qi or "bright areas" or openings. Often, this is the best bet for the "frontage" or as the frontage of the home. 2. If you often slam shut your main entrance door into your apartment; then most likely this should not be the facing direction. 3. If you are into the DIY Feng Shui; then I would use Para 1 as the facing direction. 4. But for those who locally we call it "Kiasu" or "Kiasee" = want to play safe, could draw out a few Flying Stars e.g. one for S2 and for another facing direction. 5. You wrote: "is there a particular remedy I need for the south 8M8W3T" For remedies (not just A remedy) logically the fact is as follows:The Concept of Maximizing Marks

For those who had visited my astrology site: Lovesigns.net Did you, pause for a moment to look at the photo of a " Prehistoric idea of beauty, Carved 30,000 years ago."

Always stand inside the home and look out of the window or an entrance to check for poison arrows such as a tree trunk etc... Currently, this tree was planted less than 1 year. When this tree gets taller/ thicker trunk and older.. this is where, the poison arrow can be bad....
