Yes... you can also benefit from this advice! Just imagine in the past; many grandma's and grandpa's have to "tolerate" each other and one word here: they enjoy : MARTIAL BLISS! So itn't is a bliss that you could have wished that you have not even heard of Feng Shui; this term? Won't it makes you a much happier person? Hahahahaha!

Well, the home sounds nice One question I have for you: "Now do you regret ever learning Fung Sway?". One good thing is that it is across the road. Not like next to your home. Usually, majority of us have to go some time or the other... and it is quite natural thing. In Singapore, in the 1900's to 1940's Sago street is THE PLACE for such things and there are many who stay within that area. So.. DO YOU NOW, TRULY REGRET READING TOO MUCH ABOUT FENG SHUI (FUNG SWAY)? If you don't buy my argument... then read on.. HALT! Still don't buy my argument? Well read on.... ..What the heck.. here goes.... one of the Fung Sway remedies... Traditionally, RED is considered as the most YANG thing so, some homes use natural red-bricks at their frontage facing it. Otherwise; we often drape "red" .. in your case could be a set of red curtains or (some even have a fire-engine RED as the main entrance door car.) Sorry.. to have strained your eyes!

Frankly, there are a few considerations:- 1. If you have been happily staying in the home and realistically speaking; no major issues or concerns; then the adage: "If it ain't broken; don't fix it". 2. For all you know or don't know; your bedroom may even do with a little "symbolic" fire! 3. Don't worry too much! 4. Say; if there is no cure required so why "torture" yourself trying to find such a cure? 5. Be happy I would be more concerned today, if I am in California.. waiting for the next one... In New York.. what is there to worry about, right? 6. Look at the Tsunami that wiped out parts of north-east Japan and the homeless. Compared to them; your woes is "pussy cat"... all in the mind...

Frankly, have you seen the performance by the late Michael Jackson? Called history? What you mentioned below e.g. five types of fruits seems to belong to this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/info/initial-opening.pdf Please read the heading of the .pdf carefully. When you say you are moving-in; the above "Initial-opening.pdf" is History! Past, gone, kaput. This should be the thing to read.. not the above, please. http://www.geomancy.net/info/move-in.pdf

1. Please refer to the following link:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2011.htm 2011 Flying Star Forecast North 8 3 1 9 7 5 4 2 6 South Take note the following sectors:- Sickness Star this year is at South Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at East Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at North Education/Romance Star this year is at South-West Grand Duke this year is East, 90 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is West. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. 2. This year after CNY; the "Quarrels, disputes, lawsuits and legal entanglements" has moved to NORTH = #3. #3 belongs to the Wood element. 3. Thus, based on the Flying Star for this year; it is not advantages to move your water feature from NW to North. Here, under the Five elements concept: Water fuels or inflames Wood. 4. In this case, it aint' useful - in fact more harm to have a water feature moved towards North. 5. This is a very useful and practical concept; an observation I made donkey years ago; i.e. in the 1980's:- The Customer Engineer Concept:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/forum-archive/9795.php 6. Given the limited information; it is good to reflect on what one has done earlier...

These are some of the considerations: 1. Yes, this is a good direction. As in the past, I had mentioned that one of the lowest common denominator is the Five Elements Concept. The lowest is: Taiji and Yin and Yang concept. 2. However, when deciding what element an item or wall or feature is; still needs "JUDGEMENTAL SKILLS" and SUBJECTIVITY. 3. Why? 3.1. If the kitchen cabinet made of wood or even particle board or laminate or recycled material is covered by; the surface area - texture and colour will often determine what the element COULD be. 3.2. Thus if the entire or majority of the kitchen cabinet is in say BRIGHT YELLOW; then yellow = earth element. Thus if the kitchen cabinet is in say green laminate: it could be considered as the wood element. Thus if the kitchen cabinet is covered by ORANGE colour; the orange colour represents the metal element. 4. White can or may be considered as belonging to the metal element AND/OR a NEUTRAL colour. Frankly, there is no right or wrong in this assessment. 5. However, more SPECIFIC OR DISTINCT SHAPES LIKE A TRIANGLE PYRAMID e.g. a block of wood shaped in the form of a triangle. 5.1. Since the shape is so distinct; sometimes even if it is entirely carved from a solid piece of wood; many of us would still "SEE" this TRIANGLE, pointed shape or rather our mind would register this MORE DISTINCTLY than it being literally a piece of wood. 5.2. Thus, if we were to sample people for their answers; I believe, many would "look thru" the wood and say that it is a pyramid or a triangular shape. Triangle shape is the fire element. 6. Therefore, if the shape is so distinct; you can have more than one answer depending on how one see's the item! 7. As I mentioned like so many other messages; there truly is no right or wrong answer! It is how each of us see's the item and allow our mind to see what is more important!

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. That the terrace house with openings on directly opposite sides: often would not result in as much "stagnant qi" and would most unlikely migrate to "suffocating" and even worse "dead qi". 2. Just imagine; many of us, have opened a store-room or enter a enclosed "bomb-shelter". When we step into it; our lungs try to catch as much of the limited oxygen, there. 3. In a quad-joined semi-detached home; look at this additional simple illustration: air flow or wind; would OFTEN try to take the shortest route or short-cut from an opening to another opening. And in this illustration; unfortunately the two openings are like an "L" shaped profile. 4. Thus, it makes this type of home; more likely to "accumulate" STAGNANT qi. And if stagnant qi is not "cured"; it can lead to the instance of poor qi flow: or the type of suffocating qi or dead qi senario. 5. Even in an apartment; there are some areas where stagnant qi may collect. See attached illustration.

1. In my opinion, the best way to look at the qualities of the internal "air-flow or qi" of various landed properties is to visualise how qi may flow in and out of a home. 2.A terrace house only have two sides or "openings" e.g. the frontage side and the back of the home. The exception is a corner type of terrace house which have three sides. 3.Although a terrace house has only two "openings" i.e. front and back; but the advantage of such a layout is that depending on high and low pressure zones throught the day; much like a drinking straw; the fluid can flow from frontage out to the back or vice-versa. Thus, more likely (other than the layout plan) there is LESS likely of stagnant qi collected in this house. 4. In the quad-joined semi-detached home; although it also has two sides or OPENINGS... but the difference or disadvantage is thateach of the openings are unlike those of the terrace where it id directlyon opposite sides. 5. Here, for this quad-joined semi-detached home;(depending on theinterior layout); if you see the attachment; there is a higher chance that there will always be pockets of STAGNANT Qi. 6. As qi or air won't or can't flow thru to the other side; since it is blocked by the common wall on all four sides of the home. Refer to QI FLOW ILLUSTRATION3.GIF 7.Of course, if one turns onthe aircon daily or blow air via fan to the area marked "A" under QIFLOW ILLUSTRATION3.gif then this is no issue. But come-on; will do do this everyhour? 8. Thusin addition the interior layout has to be further investigated. For example usually a toilet should best share an external wall. And ithas to compete with "living" space. It aint sound to have a toiletwithoutsay any ventliation at all. Unless via air-well sort of thing. 9. Therefore, the quad-joined semi-detach home's stagnant qi would very much depend on the architecture and how much help it can give or rathereven make it worse off! 10. Yeap, good luck in such a home! One needs lots of it... Just imagine... "stagnant" qi is the best way to understand this type of layout erh.. FLOW of air.. be it good or not so good. 11. I would still prefer the traditional terrace house "openings" better!

Thanks for trying to post..But it is ambiguous. From your Key guideline on the far right it seems to show that your cluster him is marking "B". But your arrow points to marking "A". When I try to match the key guideline to the arrow sign; it stops short of marking "A". Furthermore, assuming that if your home is marking B; nearly half the information is missing. P.S. In my opinion, the term cluster housing refers more to townhouses like Summer Gardens @ Jalan Chempaka Kuning; where thefront row of townhouses are not joined to the back. This is cluster housing. In my opinion, based onwhat you had mentioned all four units are joined together; this should be called: Duplex homes if two are joined together and Quad-Duplex where all four share the same common wall. One example is the Bungalow atThe Meyer Place where the bungalow was converted into four houses in a Quad-duplex arrangement.

Further to what I had mentioned; the Meyer Place conservation bungalow is a TRUE quad-duplex bungalow that houses 4 distinct homes: two on the ground level and two on the 2nd floor = 4 x homes.

This is a duplicate post. Have also removed several duplicates. Frankly, as mentioned in my first message; only you can understand what you wrote. How about many of us? No photos etc...

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Frankly, there is a limitation to having only text descripition. Our local slang calls it "Catch no ball"... or simply "Lia Bo Qu" or cannot understand. 2. Unless you are prepared to upload picture.. else only you yourself can comprehen your writing.. 3. I alway say this: get a on-site consultation based on the "Can or cannot buy" service of any geomancer. This is the most productive and practical way to understand an otherwise: text description only sort of thing.

Look at it this way: 1. Pretend that you are now in the 1970's 2. You engaged a "Geomancer" for your home. 3. The geomancer's key suggestion to you is"Both of you lack metal or rather needs more metal!" 4.Since you are the driving force behind the concern: "YOUR FACE LIGHTED UP LIKE A CHRISMAS TREE!' 5.Wow : This Geomancer founda SOLUTION forME!(While that one I searched and found in the internet in the 2011's couldn't offfer me a solution!) 6. Since many of us dwell with HUMAN factors or FEEL good factors; instead of sulking after reading the "negatives"; you place lots of metal.. 7. And LIKE all the fairy tale story's : BOTH OF YOU LIVE HAPPILY THERE AFTER! 8. How about that! One up for HUMAN or MAN LUCK factor! Heck with all the today's Fung Sway complications like: #8 = current prosperity; Mountain stars; Water stars; #5 = misfortune, sickness; #3 = quarrels, conflicts, lawsuits etc.... GOT IT, GET IT?

Three corners of the Pacific plate already have massive earthquakes; and San Francisco happens to the last corner of the Pacific plate. San Francisco's last major earthquake was in 1906. San Francisco's next big one is long overdue.... let's hope; it is not around the corner

SOURCE & CREDIT: TODAY, FRIDAY MARCH 18, 2011 LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION; TO DECISIONS, DECISIONS, DECISIONS' Quote: "Several factors have not become more clearly noticeable than before in a home buyer's deciion - the product's concept, the scarcity of the property and the opportunity to beneift from owning the property" An excellent commentary on the decisions people make when buying a property in Singapore!

Further to what I mentioned; In the past, around the 1970's and 1980's; Feng Shui was not as sophisticated as today; Feng Shui practitioners could easily pass-off the concept that say; since this chap lacks wood; that fella would happily make his home full of "wood". Today, this may be challenged by Feng Shui smart clients!

1. Yes, there is a limitation to how much one can squeeze out of Heaven Luck. 2. On the Earth luck side; frankly, if your home were those with "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui. If so; as the word suggests; it is in excess of all the Heaven Luck that one could get or ever squeeze out and even more. 3. To find out what is Quantum Leap; do a Search for this term. 4. Frankly, Feng Shui is a wide field. And it starts from the simple 3 L's: location, location and location. These three L's is really the major key success-factor in making, breaking or even having a Quantum Leap. 5. What you are trying to squeeze out from your statement is : within the four walls of your home. 6. If you seem to want to do DIY Feng Shui; then; you may have to apply Shapes and Forms plus the Two major Compass School Feng Shui theories into your home. 7. Please note that what you are mentioning in all your statements are : You, her, both partners = trying to squeeze out luck from the bazi elements or colours. 8. But do you know that; yes, both partners have your DD/MM/YY and even HHMM. 9. But, you can't just eat and sleep based only on your DD/MM/YY and even HHMM. 10. Do take note that you have not even considered: the Feng Shui aspect. For example one Feng Shui aspect relates to the Flying Star Feng Shui. 11. For example; every home or apartment MUST fall within or onto one of the 15 directions. Of course, there is the bad luck homes that fall in-between. That is another sad story. 12. You only considered your birthdates. Flying Star Feng Shui also is based on the birthdate of the home. For example; a home can even have a birthdate ofT.O.P. in 2004! 13. Thus, you can't just use tunnel vision and think otherwise or in isolation that just because both of you need metal or lots of it; the home may need it also. 14. However, in some instances; metal element may be needed in a Flying Star sector; but not all sectors could benefit by metal. 15. Thus, unfortunately, your idea of squeezing out luck is flawed.Just imagine; what you had written below is like both of you own and share a car. BUT WAIT! You don't own the road! You can't just drive thru a RED LIGHT. You still have to OBEY the traffic lights. 16. Here, the traffic lights are like the Flying Star variable. Please think about it, please.

In GENERAL (using the eye-ball method - quick visual look only):- 1. Without considering other factors: position marking in RED "A" should be the better choice. While marking "B" is/could/may bethe next best choice. There are other limited choices but these two are often considered asthe better ones:- 2. Provided, there is no beam above marking A. Or marking A area is shared with the shoe cabinet;etc... 3. While marking in PURPLE "C" is out because it is sharing the same wall as the toilet. Thus for this layout, quite limited in the areas to place an altar.

If we go by the standards of Heaven; yes, Lawyers and Politicians should be considered as belonging to the FIRE element. As in the eyes of GOD; they should burn in hell

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. If your photo does show that it was taken from inside the main door looking out; so far, there does not seem to be any threat - in that photo. So, in my opinion; so far, no need a bagua mirror to be hang say above the door. (Anyway, the photo is angled to the floor: can't see higher to make further comments). 2. If this photo is not taken inside the main door looking out... then there is "educational" value in this photo. 3. The attached illustration: shows that if a proper photo has to be taken; it should be standing say inside the main door looking out or standing inside the window of a home looking outwards...

Thanks for the photo. But most likely you may have mis-interpreted what I had wanted. As seriously; this photo showing the side of the drive-way is of no value; at all.

Please refer to my very first reply. Go get yourself a geomancer to look at it. Why get a geomancer? One can't just write loads of text and hope that someone else can understand what you are saying... Frankly, your all text postings are ambigious and subject to the DANGER of mis-interpretation. Furthermore, there are no photos etc.. Thus who knows what the "buddha" statue may look like. Thus, since you are so overly concerned about the issue, go get a geomancer, please. Posting such things here in an all text format is like the BLIND, leading the BLIND.

A buddha figurine is always a benign figure. Calm and composed not threatening. Making your case of a neighbour's home's buddha seem like a pussy cat! Take a look at the pictures! There is a huge buddha and some of the residents say "thankfully" it is guarding their apartment located in Block 82, CityLights condo; Jellicoe Road. You mean, tit-for-tat? That means, the few hundred over residents in each of the apartment will mimick your idea of placing a buddha statue to counter it? Frankly, it ain't no altar or meant for prayers' please. So what is the real threat? As mentioned, I have seen lots of westerners in Singapore and in the region; purchasing many buddha head and placing them all over their home. So, is this a threat?

Look at it this way: you have an altar and a Taoist diety statue. This implies that you are "praying". However, there are many (many) who place a buddha statue but this is NOT an ALTAR? Many place a buddha statue or buddha statues as decorative items. And so far, how often does one see someone praying to the buddha statue. Unfortunately, if you really want to know why the neighbour placed a buddha statue at their balcony; you have to face up and see whether you dare to approach or not. There are lots of people who place a buddha statue everyone. In their garden, in the roof top garden etc... Frankly, you ask me also no use. If you want to place a buddha figurine just because the Jones place one.. really it is your call. Overall, to many it is simply a "decorative" item... and it ain't no altar of sorts...
