[Gui Men? Placing Altar?]

More pictures of the Phoo Thor Jee Temple...

[Gui Men? Placing Altar?]

Pictures of The Phoo Thor Jee Temple: One thing for sure; in my opinion, this temple has one of the largest amounts of figurines outside the temple or literally "facing and greeting" people before they go into the temple.

Furthermore, it has a pair of majestic smiling Qi Lin on both sides of the gate. And another pair of Big, strong Lion figurines, on the other side of another gate.

[Amara Singapore Hotel (Formerly M Hotel)]

Can you really visualise the beautiful smile from this Amara Singapore, Hotel, Lion?

[Amara Singapore Hotel (Formerly M Hotel)]

Again, if one looks carefully, this version is similar to the Tan Family type of smiling face Lion figurines

[New industry belong to which element]

In my opinion, the first thing that came into my mind is the "sharing of knowlege" or "learning".

It is also about "growth". Growth can be a good or bad thing! For example: growth of good knowledge and knowledge that can be searched, viewed etc... Certain other "growth" e.g. child porno etc...

Thus, I would generally consider the Internet industry as belonging to the "wood" element. Graphically, it is much like the roots of a plant or the structure of the brain... that sort of thing.

Thus, the industry should in my opinion be of"wood element".

While the people who maintains the structure is already defined mostly as belonging to the "water element" or "IT".

People who "hack" into the internet may be considered as belonging to the "fire element".

[REMODEL in ALL BAD SECTORS >New House]

Logically, if it is a "new" as in brand new home; there is no issue with construction be it good or bad sectors.

Thus if you really mean NEW; then a newly built home from scratch is a very common thing:

For example, someone booked a terrace home and it is under construction and have not even moved in yet. Is this is a case of over-reacting?

Move-in procedures can be found under this url: http://info.geomancy.net and the usual practise of selecting a good date to move-in. For the Chinese, they don't really like to move in on the lunar 6th month; 7th month and the month of the Qing Ming also.

[Office room beside kitchen]

These are some of the considerations:-

1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui

1.1 Try not to seat prolonged facing the "sunlight". For example, the office / room is bathed by the afternoon sun. And one's table is facing this sunlight.

1.2 Many people feel uncomfortable sitting with one's backtowards an opening e.g.the door or, doorof an attached toilet or a window.

1.3 Avoid working at a "dead corner" or a location that there is no air-flow especially if one does not turn on the fan or air-con.

1.4 Avoid seating next to or sharing the same wall as the stove or the toilet bowl wall - if possible.

2. Compass School Feng Shui

2.1. Eight Houseanalysis: if possible or NICE-to-have seat facing one's good direction e.g. "Prosperity" direction and/or "Excellent" direction.

2.2.If possible check the20 Year Flying Star numbersof that specific sector and apply some "cures" or "enhancement"appropriately.

[Main Door aligned to the back door]

Yes, this is a pretty common senairo for many apartments.

Hi there,

I have the same issue where the front door is directly aligned with the back sliding door but my property is a condo and will be too small to put up a screen or partition; is there anything else that can be done? Perhaps with the use of crystals?


Thank you!

Often, these are the common senarios:-

1. Often, we can draw "down" the curtain. And the curtain can act as a partial screen.

2. If it is a sliding door, then, slide the fixed panel towards the side directly facing the main door.

3. If we have a tall cabinet e.g. a tall tv cabinet. This is a plus point.

[Next stop - A magnificient temple in Singapore]

More pictures of the two beautiful smiling Qi Lin's outside the gate of this magnificent Thian Hock Keng Temple at Telok Ayer Street.

Again, even the temples places symbolic smiing animals guarding it. Not those fierce looking ones.

The qi lin on the right side always have the largest smile

[Qilin on house lamp post]

Further to what I had mentioned about the Qilin On House Lamp Post

Location: The Tan family resident (next door to) the new development that had just TOP: Jewel @ Chuan Hoe

The above Tan family residence uses a similar pair of Qi Lin (Chi lin) of the Thian Hock Keng Temple located at Telok Ayer Street.

Notice the Qi Lin's smile? The one that always have the largest smile is on the right side (when standing facing the qi lins).

[Qilin on house lamp post]

More pictures of the Ying Fo Fui Kun guardian Qi Lins outside the premises, today.

Location: Telok Ayer Street

[Qilin on house lamp post]

1. The Ying Fo Fui Kun is one of Singapore oldest clan associations, located in Telok Ayer Street.

2. Even if one wants to place Qi Lin's on a property or even outside the property;

3. The Qi Lin(s) must either be full bodied "prosperous looking" or have a "charming smile." Not those fearless or fierce looking ones.

4. This Ying Fo Fui Kun has FOUR: Yes! FOUR QI LINS outside the property! There are TWO adult qi lins and two smaller baby cub qi lin closer to the inner pillars.

5. Both the adult Qi lin's and cub qi lin's each have a "pearl ribbon" wrapped over their neck. Here, fire controls "metal".

6. The qi lin that has the widest smile is the smaller baby one (on the right side) where, I had taken the most photos.

7. The photos are non-3d, so does not do justice to the "smile" of the baby cub qi lin. But go look at it from various angles.. it looks playful and has a huge generous smile! This implies harmony for both the "dwelling" and passerby!

8. The original building in the 1822's was not adorned with these qi lins as can be seen in one of the plagues on the wall.

[Elvis Presley & Marilyn Monroe are alive?]

1. Elvis Presley & Marilyn Monroe are alive?

2. Not exactly! BUT somehow, they are at least remembered in Singapore! Maybe for the wrong reasons? Why?

3. This rememberance in Singapore is not exactly complimentary!

4. Really, creative people, do think differently from "normal" of the mill people like us!

5. In Australia, I get to see Toilets with captions of "RAM = male" and "DOE = female" goat.

6. This newly refurbished building: Pico Creative Centre; along Kallang Avenue seems to think that the best way for people to recognised the male side of the toilet is via the huge posted of Elvis. And for the female? The famous sex symbol: Marilyn Monroe!

7. Look at these two pictures. These two pictures grace the toilet entrance located at the 12th storey of Pico Creative Centre...

8. Next time; if you do ever visit this centre, please "pay your respect" to the KING of Rock and the Queen of sex symbols... when you next do a deposit, there.

[Hillvista Condo @ 1 Elizabeth Drive]

 

Erh.. How do I climb down into the pool. Or how do I climb up the pool?

 

 

This is not a Magician trick... Just that the developer placed an extensive guard rail to prevent anyone climbing down or pushed down the steps into the Hillvista condo pool.

 

 

Thus, don't worry it is not an illusion! When this condo TOP; for sure, the barrier will be lifted. Please don't quote me on this! If you don't believe; when I next visit this condo during TOP; will show you a photo proof of it! Cheers!

 

 

 

[Hillvista Condo @ 1 Elizabeth Drive]

Some photos of Hillvista condo, at 1 Elizabeth Drive.

[Hillvista Condo @ 1 Elizabeth Drive]

Condo: Hillvista
Started building around 3 years ago. Expected TOP is around October 2010 or thereabouts.

Consists of a row of three "blocks" fused together into one single block. With units or stacks either facing Flying Star North 3 or South 3 direction.

Under this current Feng Shui qi; facing South 3 or S3 is preferred over N3.

The siteplan or sitemap's NORTH compass direction does NOT MATCH it's individual layout plan's NORTH compass marking.

In the siteplan; the NORTH seems to be at Flying Star N1 or S1. While under it's individual layout plan NORTH marking; the compass reading is either N3 or S3.

So far, I can recall that there were few mistakes made especially on the siteplan. And in my lifetime; I can recall only 2 or 3 other cases where the siteplan NORTH marking is "off" or incorrect.

[Fish Tank for Office]

If one does not want to apply or has no means to apply say the Flying Star Feng Shui: "Can I place a water feature at location marked as X?".

Then have to go by Trial and Error Type of Feng Shui.

The most logical choice is to apply the concept, that I had coined many years back called " The Customer Service Engineer " Effect.

This concept credits the way IBM Customer Service Engineer trouble-shoots "problems".

Check out this "ancient" link and the term "Customer Service Engineer" ....

[best color for a bedroom]

The only caution with using light cream or beige is; if say a bedroom is painted light cream or beige; and the ceiling lights is also "warm yellowish" lighting.

If so, a bedroom that has any of the following combinations of 20 Year Flying Star numbers:-

Mountain star = #5 or #2 or #9 with
Water star = #5 or #2 or #9 with

In such a situation, the best "cure" is to use "cool daylight" lighting.

This is because "Warm white" or yellowish coloured light when turned on in a bedroom looks yellowish and this is further accentuated by the bedroom having light cream wall. Just imagine even when we wear a white shirt; when we turn on a "yellowish" lamp; the shirt looks "yellowish".

This is the only caution. If not sure? Then use WHITE wash wall paint. As white represents metal element.

What lesson can we learn from this?

If one frequently falls sick in a bedroom and uses warm white lighting; then on the safe side, reduce the problem by changing to cool day light light bulb.

[best color for a bedroom]

These are some further considerations:-

1. For the novice or lay person or the "play safe" person; then go for neutral colours.

2. For example, under this Period 8 : 2004 to 2023; one of the best colours is light cream in various names e.g. barley white etc...

3. Under Period 7: 1984 to 2003; the best colour is white. White still remains a neutral colour.

4. Many people dislike "Feng Shui advice" especially if a Geomancer suggests different colours for the entire home. Thus, if one wants to choose a neutral colour can "play safe" by selecting the favourite colour of some condos "light cream or beige" or the most popular term or variant is known as "barley white".

5. Thus, no headaches or heartaches.. go for this colour is fine.

[best color for a bedroom]

These are some of the considerations:

1. Between 1970's to 1985 thereabouts, many Geomancers simply check what is your bazi element (favourable colours) and simply or rudimentary advise you to use these (those) favourable colours of yours.

2. During that time, it is even very common to find a geomancer telling his client: you lack wood. And this client would make sure that his whole house is "full of wood".

3. If the above was so popular, should I follow this 1970's to 1985 trend?

4. Nowadays, Flying Star Feng Shui is no longer a "secret". And since the Flying Star Feng Shui is all about the birth-chart of the house;

5. It makes sense that even if one's bazi element or colours are such and such... it is best to harmonise it with the Flying Star chart of a specific room sector.

5.1. For example if the sector has Mountain Star #5 and Water #2. If the person's ba zi wealth colour is EARTH (Yellow); For this specific sector, it is best to avoid YELLOW colour even if it is considered suitable to the ba zi of that person.

5.2. Otherwise, just "faint ignorant" and go ahead and paint the room to your suitable colours. If it has been done in the 1970's to 1985 ...hmmmm.... hmmm...

[Fish Tank for Office]

1. We humans have our birth chart.
2. Your office also has it's own birth chart e.g. When it was built and first occupied.
3. On a "scientific" level The Compass School: Flying Star is one instrument that can be used to detect what type of wealth sector and whether say the water position at the entrance is favourable or not. If it is found suitable then it does not matter whether your partner is a small fire element person.
Current, it is anybody's guess without such a study.

[Kitchen cabinet knob and pull quesion]

1. Yes, the number of hobs is one consideration. Hops as in the stove burner. And often, the Flying Star chart is looked at to futher fine tune whether the hobs are either even or odd number(s).

2. Traditionally, matt finished stainless steel is OK.

3. One Feng Shui school of thought considers it "inauspicious" to have a highly reflective glass behind the stove. Or a highly polished reflective stainless steel material. As this School felt that a home should not have TWO stoves. And such a reflective mirror symbolises a home having two stoves. Here, the conotation is that the male partner will have to "support" two partners e.g. a wife and a mistress = TWO STOVES.

4. Well, to some man, wow, this is great? Right? They would have a common wife to support and a mistress somewhere else! This is what the "TWO" stoves is about!

[How the Fengshui of Windermere]

In my opinion, these are some considerations:

1. Overall, based on Shapes and Forms, majority of the blocks are tall point blocks (from a distance much like thoseHDB 5-room point-blocks of themid-1970's era).

2. Onegood thing about such "point blocks eg.Blk 20, 26, 28, 30, 32 - based on Shapes andForms allows qi to flow well from most directions.

3.Majority of the stacks face North-South directions (slight tilt) towards the north-west but in general most of the developmentunder Flying Star Feng Shui should be Period 7 (10 years old) apartments: stacks facing either North or South directions.

4. Based on current Period 8, 2004 to 2023, the better facingstacks (standing inside the living room looking out of the living room windows)are those South facing ones as compared to North facing ones.Thusstacks under Blocks 20, 26, 28, 30 and 32- with south facing apartments are preferred over Block 22 where stacks can face North directions.

5.Have to pay extra attention especiallyfor some of the stacks underBlock 20 which is parallel to the canal leading towards (Johore / andKranji Reservoir).

[Color of roof tiles and exterior wall colours]

In General, these are the considerations or pairings of roof tile colors and exterior wall finishes:-

1. If possible, it is advisable to avoid a BLUE roof. According to the I-ching, blue symbolizes difficulty, and if it covers the entire roof, it resembles water above you.

2. If a blue roof MUST be utilized, then the exterior walls should be white or off-white, but never cream or beige.

3. If a grey roof is chosen, the optimal choice for the exterior walls is white. Grey exterior walls are acceptable, but if a grey roof is used, cream or beige walls should be avoided.

4. According to the current Feng Shui period, the most favorable colors are earth tones (cream or beige), particularly for exterior walls. Therefore, if a green roof is employed, cream, beige, or peachy colors are suitable.

5. WHITE roofs are not recommended as they symbolize "death or mourning."

6. Common traditional colors include orange or maroon. In such cases, any exterior wall colors are permissible. For instance, if roofs of these colors are used, exterior wall colors can vary from white to off-white, cream or beige, to red brick tile colors, and so forth.
