Picture of the uncompleted Caspian taken on 1 May 2010. (Expected TOP is around 2012 or earlier)

1. Under Chinese culture, it is considered not goodto have a straightwalking-path. As it is believed that spirits go in a straight-line and curved or zig-zag paths are a no no for them. 2. This is why,there is always a zig-zag path leading towards a pavillion. 3. In this picture, we notice a straight public path.However, it was tiled to give an illusion of a wavy path. 4. There is a popular Malay saying "If you can't bring Mohammad to the mountain bring the mountain to Mohammad?" 5. Here, if one cannot curve the path, one curve the tiles....

These are some considerations:- 1. A good water feature should have all five elments in place. Source: http://fountain.geomancy.net Para 2.1. to 2.12 Kevin K. wrote: 4. Do we still place the water fountain? Kevin 2. First time I have heard this statement: "still place the water fountain?". This implies shut-down of a water feature and/or moving it away. Then what, next year check whether to place it back again. 3. So long as this is the "frontage" of a home; this firstly has a higher weightage for "clear space" and "bright hall" effect. And since there is a 20 Year double #8; and considered double auspicious #8's there is not much of a concern. 4. In the first place, have anyone seen a moveable water feature at the frontage of a home... e.g. on wheels or tracks that can move about? Yes or No? 5. With #3 at the frontage; just make sure that you should make an effort to turn on the lights at the water feature. In Singapore; a reasonable time is between 7.30pm to say 10.30pm (or follow roughly what many condo lighting e.g. at pool side does). 6. Alternatively, if there are too many frontage at the home; then depending on the layout plan ... e.g. energy saving led light can be turned on. 7. Here, the most effective is the use of "fire" to burn #3. 8. For the Chinese even better. Some even place a red banner above their main door. This is an option for those non-Christians or more typical buddhist families. I am not asking you to do that. But this is another consideration or alternative. 9. Frankly, a proper water feature with all the five elements in place will do. 10. I had mentioned; in the past; in the 1980's it is a decade of picking up plenty of Feng Shui books that list out dozens of things to enhance the home. 11. Today,concern with thingslike three killings is behind my seat..scare some of us.What to do with Tai Sui as I am facing Tai Sui this year at my work.. what to do? 12 If it was ever meant for a water feature to be on wheels or tracks; it would been documented in ancient times. I wonder, where is the documentation that our forefathers made to move water feature or have the means for an entire say home infrastracture with tracks all around the home.

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. Many donkey years ago as far back as 1997 in this forum; I mentioned the two major Feng Shui schools: 1.1. The Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 1.2. The Flying Star Feng Shui 2. I am a strong believer that between both Schools; the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui has a higher weightage. 3. Why? 3.1 In theory; and in general, we can live "WITHOUT" the Flying star Feng Shui but not the opposite. 3.2 In this case, Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is the oldest form of Feng Shui. 3.3As we all know today, all of uscan be associated byleaning more to either Left or Right brain. I don't need to elaborate on this area. 4. For example; for those fluent with Shapes and Forms, it comes naturally. Andin general we can say that Flying Star helps to compensate those who are not that "Shapes and Forms" type of a guy. 5. Under Shapes and Forms.. if I tell you that there is a "dragon" qi at one place... theFlying Star guy may not understand.. unless he/she plots a mathematical model and "presto" ... he understand numbers. 6. In the past, I mentioned; some of us end up being soexcited by Flying Star that they end up eating and drinking Flying starFeng Shui. This is equivalent to a"myopic' view! 7. For example,withthis question. The main clue from the questionis a water feature at the frontage of the home. 7.1 Automatically, if we open our minds wider and understand this is the frontage; all the Shapes and Forms concepts with regards to this would weigh in ... with our decision. Feng Shui is about qi flow. And an open space usually at the frontage is an added advantage (bright hall). 7.2 Not this idea of the year being #3. If we want to talk about the year being #3. Then why not the month with #3? or Hour with #3. 7.3 The other clue I mentioned is have anyone seen a water feature on rollers or tracks? 8. The morale of the story: "Don't just eat and sleep on Flying Star as if it is the only do or die concept in Feng Shui". 9. In summary; there are many lousy practitioners out there.. as unfortunately, they breathe, eat spat out Flying star only... If I am given a choice of hiring someone.. in the field of Feng Shui.. guess who will get the job and who will be booted out...

More advance points: 1. Shapes and Forms can live in isolation. For example, it can work on it's own with or without Flying Star. 2. But Flying Star Feng Shui has to co-exist with Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. Why? 3.1 Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; there is such thing as superior Feng Shui or earth luck. For example; check out "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui. 3.2 When we look at a Flying star chart; we have to visualise another "layer" .. how does qi move (meander) in an interior. 3.3 For example, under Flying Star, sometimes an actual room can come within two Flying Star Sectors. 3.4. And for practical reasons, sometimes we are not sure which sector stars to use. As in many instances, they are so different. 3.5. Then what? 3.5.1Flip a coin to make a decision? Heads use this sector instead of the other or vice versa? 4.When we look at aFlying Star chart, an experienced Geomancer would visualise where are the windows and other openings in the room and select the best sector stars based on such considerations. 5. And when we visualise qi flow this is abstract and weights heavily on the Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 6. Thus this is a "working" example ofhow and why:Shapes and Forms can live without Flying Star but not the other way around. 7. Well, I don't meant that Flying Star is lousy or should be replaced totally by Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. It is still an excellent tool if used in-conjunction or correctly. 8. Again, like our no-brainer education system.. it is no point.. memorising and getting a perfect score under Flying Star Feng Shui e.g. perfect honours degree in the Five Elements concept... but when it comes to real life.. cannot even beat a non-graduate the likes of Sim Wong Hoo at the start of his career (not now)... 9. Even under Flying Star; lots of talk on:- 9.1. Best to lock-up the stars... 9.2. Good to open the windows to allow good Flying Star qi to flow into the home 9.3. After a rain fall, good to open all windows of the home... 10. When we talk of such things it is about qi flow (Shapes and Forms) Feng Shui.

Many advertisement flyers are thrown on the floor in this rather "dirty" void deck in a HDB flat in Taman Jurong area

1. Please be careful. There is no known crystal or stones that have such magic powers. 2. Maybe, we should not be reading too many Superman cartoons of kryptonite and it's effect on him. 3. In Singapore, many people were conned into buying a "magic" stone which claims to be able to cure cancer and other ailments. These victims learned the hard way with their hard earned money. 4. Cavet Emptor! Let the buyer, beware! 5. Remember: Charity begins at home. Might as well keep the money for a rainy day or bring family members for a sunday lunch treat! Why should we line the pockets of con-persons with our hard earned money. 6. Shhhhhh! Let you in on a secret... the Mother of all Holy Grail of the most fantastic Feng Shui item: the very special Feng Shui ring can be found under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=27491&new= Remember the powers of the Feng Shui Ring is beyond comprehension! Keep this a secret! You and Me! BTW, it's free, you can print it out and take it with you! 7. The saying goes " a sucker is born every minute - Yes, you! Hahahaha!"

These are some considerations:- 1. Building code Especially for Office (include retail)cum Home Office usually public buildings; majority of the door has to swing outwards. (Some can swing both inwards and outwards). 2. For most homes One should differentiate between grille gate and door. In the west, it is not the "storm door" or the door where some have netting but rather the "inner" door. Alternatively, or logically, the main door is often the door where the house number is - on it. 3. If you are referring to some kind of a gate attached your main door, naturally, this portion has to swing outwards. BUT the door (usually wooden) door should NICE-to have swing inwards. 4. Where possible, at the back of the home; if one has a door, it should again swing inwards. Some homes do not have a back door but grille gate. Then there is no issue with it swinging outwards as this is not a door. 5. In Singapore, it is very easy to understand what is a door. Majority of such doors in Singapore are 1/2 hour fire rated. 6. I am not asking to light up the door and check which burns fast or which does not burn fast. 7. Anyway, as I had mentioned previously, it takes more than one "leak" to cause issues for a home.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Please see attachment: Markings in RED "A" and "B"of the river. There is a vast difference between the river flow from A to B or B to A majority of the time. 2. The two blocks in the RED shaded areas need to be closely looked at as; in my opinion, usually, wealth in these two blocks can be plotted on a normal "Bell curve": where there will certainly be "excellent (wealth)"units and "poor or vicious cycle of the poor kind" for other units at the other end of the bell curve. While some units will not be affected. 3. The units shaded in GREEN facing the river: It will depend on whether the water flows from RED markings "A" to "B" or vice versa. 4. In my opinion these are the most affected units. 5. Another important variable is the location of the swimming pool or pool of water within the condo can sometimes "make or break" a stack in this development. 6. Those stacks (units)that are not shaded should be the least affected by the RIVER. However, do take note that these non-shaded stacks (units) are subjectedtoFlying Starmapping. 7.Please note that a development next to a river does not always means doom or gloom. As frankly, this is not the only property next to a river. But what makes it of a concern is that part of the unit e.g. in Shaded RED falls within a CURVE of a river (unlike many other developments) where it is parallel to the development and not all of it is neighoured by one side with a river. 8. Frankly, if one intends to such units; it is worth the while considering: those Can or Cannot buy services of a competent geomancer. The saying goes: smart people pre-amp and the common people; buy a home and then look at Feng Shui. In fact, it should be the other way around : for peace of mind when buying a home.

1. Further to what I had mentioned, sometimes we tend to look at a picture.. and only see one image. 2. For example, there are many instances where some consider "it" as a missing corner. But instead, a sector should correctly be seen as a protrusion instead. 3. In this case, there is a potential issue called "Sha Qi = poison arrow". 4. The fortunate thing is that there is a huge distance from marking in Purple: C to D. Thus for condos and even lower ceiling HDB's; the distance from any of such "poison arrows" is negligible as the distance is pretty far... 5. Please see attachment.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Appreciate if you can re-read the link(s) that I had posted with regards to your question. 2. Please see attachment. In fact one of the links shows clearly what is a BEAM and what is really not a beam. 3. For example, in this attachment, see markings in RED: A to B. One of the links has a similar example. And I have mentioned .... read up the link... 4. It has more to do with the "mind". Unfortunately, if more than one person comments that they feel that this is bad... then... auto-suggestion takes place. 5. If one still feels that it is a threat; do make an effort to use the SEARCH feature. CLUE: There are at least more than three cures or to me; activating one of these cures is equivalent to "psuedo" cure(s)... akin to taking sugar coated pill.

I believe I have found the mother of all holy grail of a water position! Got to seek the advice of a Geomancer on this issue...

1. This forum vets all forum messages. 2. Why is it that my message does not appear to the public? 2.1. There are many reasons for this: 2.2. Such questions are too common that a SEARCH under this forum will yield many pages of the same type of resource. 2.3. Questions that seems simple enough but needs time and effort. 2.4. Questions that furnish: Date of Birth and/or copy-paste Free Flying Star chart ... now help me! 2.5. Furnishing raw dataand link to a 2D map and asking..How is the Feng Shui of this house.. 2.6. Please remember that this isonly a Free GENERAL Advice Forum. And it means what it is: Free. Paid Services are available anywhere. If you need such services; do get help from anyone -certainly not restricted to this site. 3. With our busy schedule, need to balance the quality of questions posted vs what is already available in this forum that extends to resources as far back as 1998 or later. 4. Apologies, if your forum message never gets posted to public view or after a while; not replied for one reason or the other. No hard feelings, here. 5. If you want quick answers; often the resource would have been discussed many timesin this forum - just that you had overlooked it. 6. Use the SEARCH feature on the TOP Left hand frame of this forum especially the default setting [x] Forum Message Only. 7. Google indexes this forums resources daily. In fact, intuitive keying in of a more detailed search phrase will often yield what you are looking for! 8. Life does not give a reason: " Thus, if your message never gets replied; don't despair nor get angry with me... what for.. get angry with an"old man" like me.. someone who is 50 years old and by the national average;I only have another20 odd years left! Thus, I may look young but all my internal organs are not what they were when I was #16 years old! " 9. Good Luck!

1. Further to what I had mentioned; other than for off-topic (out of topic) subjects such as posting that is beyond the Free GENERAL advise; 2. There is a higher chance for postings that have pictures or illustrations to be answered. 3. In life, although it is not as serious as applying for a job... How does one get noticed thru one's Resume? 4. Ask any Human Resource person and they will tell you to make an effort to work on your Resume. 5. For example, when I scan (not read) your latest posting... I closed it within 30 seconds... 6. The hokkien dialect phrase for my experience is " Lia Bo Kew" = means "cannot comprehen what was said". "Too chiam (too blurr) "....

I read, looked at my illustration A and then... like my mouth was wide opened... perhaps quite late or too tired... just can't or mind won't try to undersand what you wrote. Perhaps, I am getting too old.. .... my wish? "A picture that can tell a hundred words (not necessarily thousand words) would be fine! Else.. "sotong = blur"

These are the considerations:- 1. This is about moving house or even office / building. 2. If one is moving house: from an existing home (or office)to a newhome (or office):-- 2.1. Both homes have a swimming pool and a water feature 2.2. Both homes have only a swimming pool 2.3. Both homes have only a water feature 3. In such a situation; under symbolism in Feng Shui; it is considered "Nice-to-have" collecting water from an existing home e.g. into some containers e.g. 1.5 litre bottles and depositing this into the new home. 4. For example, collect swimming pool water from old home to the new home...etc...

1. To be frank, I have the latest Suunto solid aluminium compass set for Region 3 (Singapore and the equator). 2. But still; one major flaw is that whenever I am in a building with lots of steel rods for support (look at it this way: all modern high-rise uses re-inforced steel for building support!) 3. Surprisingly, such a low technology or LOW TECH brass compass is my saviour ... when I am deep in a large building that has odd shaped floor space and entrances much like those mega or hype buildings. 4. Many industrial buidlings have even more steel in their structures to support the higher Per Newton Kilo load. 5. This attached brass compass which I bought at a cheap sale for only Singapore $20 dollars (roughly US $16 dollars) can do a better job than my latest solid aluminium Suunto compass that I had bought for around Singapore $260 or roughly US $190 odd plus)... 6. I suspect that the key to this low tech but highly accurate compass has to do with the around 10 mm or more thickness of the diameter rim and the base. Thus it is pretty heavy on all accounts. What a great discovery! 7.1 What happens if we stand in the middle of a lift lobby e.g. equally between four sets of lifts (two in-front two at the back). 7.2 Take a compass reading and check it out! How about standing in a building with two lifts only. And again stand in the middle of the two lifts to take a compass reading. 7.3 Is the compass reading accurate? Match the findings from the protractor + streetdirectory maps? Go experiment and find out yourself...

1. In many of the attached examples; especially for new or (newer) condominiums; use their sitemap in-conjunction with their interior layout plans. 2. In fact, this is nothing really new. This is how many of us in Singapore purchase a condominium unit or even a new HDB unit from the Sales Brochure. 3. In common is the compass NORTH marking on each of the sitemap. 4. For older condominums, there is hope. For example, I have the sitemap of Castle Green condomium. 4.1 And surprisingly, if one does not have such a sitemap; just look at the quality of the streetdirectory map of this condominum using the SLA licensed maps:- 4.2 http://www.rednano.sg/sfe/allsearch.action?allsearch=true&view=map&querystring=castle+green For example: this is the "ultimate confirmation" using the Castle green's actual sitemap with interior plan with Rednano.sg's streetdirectory map"-http://forum.geomancy.net/upload/Confirm%20Castle%20Green.pdf 4.3 If you scroll on this map, lower down the map one can find the Nuovo condo. The details of each block is equally clear. 4.4 From this same link (from above) Scroll to the left is the Seasons Park condo. 5. There is only example in this attachment: confirm-stack-unit-with-site.jpg 6. In conclusion: 6.1. So long as we can determine where is the NORTH compass marking in relation to the Block then the stack (unit).. this is the first step. 6.2. Always check whether the layout plan is: actual or a mirror image of the layout plan. Some sales brochures don't list all units as actual. Some units need to be "mirrored" to be correct. 7. As you can see in all the attachments except for under Para 5 confirm-stack-unit-with-site.jpg; the key success factor is a match of the siteplan with the interior layout plan. 8. With a proper match of the interior layout plan and if possible additional confirmation with the street directory (view) especially for existing flats or homes; this is a plus or added advantage. 9. Level of Difficulty of this asignment? A US fifth grade or British standard Primary 5 and above child should be able to use a protractor and simple guidelines in most situations except to ask them to determine the facing direction.

1. Further to what I had mentioned; especially for landed properties; the best map to use to find out exactly the facing direction is the Singapore Land Authority SLA licenced maps. 2. For example, http://rednano.sg uses the SLA licenced maps. 3. Let's say we are searching for an address " Tu Fu Avenue ". 3.1 The Rednano.sg site will yield the street together with the outline of all houses within the vicinity of the street:- http://www.rednano.sg/sfe/allsearch.action?allsearch=true&view=map&querystring=tu+fu+avenue 3.2 With such a detailed information; just apply the protractor to find the facing direction of the home or landed property. 3.3 In Singapore, many landed properties are "back-to-back" with each other and often the facing direction is simply standing inside theproperty and taking a reading out of the main gate. 4. If we are using some other maps. For example, the streetdirectory.com maps. 5. You will find that for the same search " Tu Fu Avenue "; it only yields or showing the road and "greenery":- http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_21984/travel_site_1/ 5.6 When using the streedirctory.com map, try to supplement it with the satellite view to view an outline of the home for purposes of using a protractor to take a compass reading of the facing direction:- http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/gps/gps.php?travel_id=21984&travel_site=1&x=369861.93561089463&y=152476.79310198128&level=13 6. For apartments, often I would do a search especially from these two sites and then determine which has a better outline of the apartment. 7. Sometimes the rednano.sg outline seems better; while at other times, the streetdirectory.com maps seems better plus if the satellite map is not covered by clouds and if it is clear.

1. If you had done a Search using the SEARCH button on the TOP left frame in this forum you can easily find these resources:- 2. For example, it is simply commonsense that for most bedrooms the overhead beam is only a few inches "deep". 3. And commonsensedictates that no one sleeps so close to the bed-head frame. We have the bed frame, we have the pillow. And by the time we place our head on the pillow; the saying goes "fear not" your head will normallybe so far away from this "so called beam". Commonsense:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=20407&new= Other resources:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=26648&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=25647&new= 4. As for your 1st question on the main entrance can view the bedroom. Again this has more to do with "feeling unsecure or uncomfortable" as there is an issue with privacy especially if the bed is in full view of the main door. 5. If the bed is occupied by a married couple.. then we may feel uncomfortable.. when we leave the main door open ... when one may be trying to produce birds and bees.. but if one is over 40+ most likely the bees have no more sting.. and birds have less eggs to produce! 6. Otherwise, simply close the bedroom door when not in use. Unless one wants to resort to say ... changing the door position or other closing the door either and/or bedroom and/or main door for privacy. That's all!

1. In addition to my earlier remarks, we are indeed enjoying a favorable turn of events. 2. In the past, Singapore had only one or two street directories available for purchase, and these often failed to accurately represent the layout of buildings or residences. 3. Currently, there are at least three physical brands of street directories on the market, along with a variety of electronic options and Google satellite maps. 4. Over the last two years, there have been notable developments, such as providing a link to a directory website and inquiring about the accuracy of the orientation. 5. This serves a significant purpose beyond mere routine tasks; as illustrated by various examples, superimposing a layout plan onto a site plan significantly enhances the understanding of a two-dimensional mapping system. 6. As previously noted, we find ourselves in a particularly advantageous situation, with many of my international clients going the extra mile to capture photographs. 7. It is now possible to conduct a Feng Shui assessment or audit remotely. 8. Today, especially in Singapore, one can utilize Google Street View to examine the street and building facades, although the accuracy of this information is crucial; if it is outdated, the principle of GIGO (Garbage In, Garbage Out) applies.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. First-time open door procedures: Usually performed by a new owner of the home who had taken over a re-sale or a brand new home. 2. If one is renting a home; and if one is moving from another home or apartment; symbolically, when I moves home; make sure that all the essentials e.g. cooking oil, rice, sugar, salt etc.. are full or well stocked up at the new home. In fact the Move-in procedure as found under http:/info.geomancy.net has some of these. 3. Essentially, when we first stay in a new home, we should "stock" up our kitchen. 4. Please note that the First-time-open door and Move-in procedures are considered as "NICE-to-have" and not a "MUST-have". And these are essentially non-religious in nature. 5. If we were to understand the key essence of the concept: it is essentially to "place wealth in a home". Thus if we were to understand these two "rituals" they are just "placing of wealth into the home and or making sure that it is "fully" stocked. 6. With the advent of the profileration of "tons" of condos; some even symbolically go to their existing apartment's swimming pool, scoop up some water into e.g. 1.5 litre bottles and then when they move-in to a new home; and if say they have a water feature, pour this water into the water feature. Anonymous wrote: hi, we will be moving into a rented apartment. Appreciate if you can advise whether we should be performing the opening house and moving in rituals. The apartment was previously owner-occupied.

These are some considerations:- 1. Feng Shui is in the details. What you have done is to place a link to the website. And, for an example, there is very little information to go with. 2. Check out my examples or one of the examples where even details of the layout plan was super-imposed onto a site and the unit marked out clearlywithin the block. 3. You have unfortunately done none of these. And simply placed a link to a rather "complicated" example. What do you expect? For an example, the unit was not even marked out. And this block you are asking for is in a rough U shape. 4. No offence but the saying goes " Garbage in (inputs); you can only expect Garbage out...." the term here is GIGO. 5. Frankly, I have given a few examples; and this "method" is not rocket science or something like that. Simple tools like a protractor and the layout plan. The only thing as mentioned previously is for some blocks or stacks, much harder to determine the facing directions. 6. If you are not sure, then go thru the examples again. Even if you want to provide an example for checking, make sure that the minimum level of information has been provided. Certainly not this rather poor piece of example. Again, no offence, please. Such things .. are a waste of time.

1. In a very highly built-up area in Singapore; many areas or homes and apartments are as you had mentioned literally such homes are next to a religious temple etc... 2. For example; new or old apartments; many are close to a temple: in fact, there is no running away from a "view" of the temple: recent cases such a condo development in Guillemard road, Compassvale Bow (Sengkang), Telok Kurau Road, Serangoon North, Boon Lay, Balestier Roadand more.... 3. These are some of the considerations: 3.1. It is best not to purchase a home directly facing a temple e.g. such as a ground floor or 2nd storey unit with the living room or balcony facing it. 3.2. Avoid hanging a windchimefacing the temple. 3.3. Just last Saturday, a client mentioned thatthe temple at the side of her unit at a condo at Guillemard Road is a Tibetian one and in one of the bedrooms, chants can be heard until 11pm. 3.4. In fact this condo faces the Christian cross directly and the temple is at the side of the bedroom. Luckily the "spine" of the church is closer to the main road and does not pose a threat to the unit. 3.5 Such things as the shape of the roof or the edge of roofs may posea posion arrow in many instances. 3.6.1. A clean or unclean temple: 3.6.1. In my life time I have encountered"clean" and "unclean" temples. I believe in some of my past messages (in thisforum) I had mentioned that a temple in Yishun was unclean. Asduring that time, my luopan became erractic i.e. the needle ... 3.6.2. Some temples are a depository of "entities" and some"unclean" ones even host things like"small bottles with somevisible- babies" floating in them. 3.7. Overall, and in very general terms; even "clean" temples are considered as a depository of peoples "grevience etc...". 4. The good news is that in many cases, there are many who stay close to temples and are still doing so.. this could be a good or bad sign... Good because.. nothing bad happens.. bad.. well for some we never know... unless they seek 'help'. 5. In Singapore, an apartment with a view of a temple often translates into futuremarketing value of the home. (This area is not Feng Shui).

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui specifically the Water Classics; 2. The trait of an auspicious site close to a river is that the site should be "enclosed" much like enclosed by circular claws as shown under "Favourable". http://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-wclassic.htm 3. While the site where Mirage Towers can roughly be categorised as shown in the attachment - based on water classics considered not as favourable especially for homes. 4. The Tribeca By the Waterfront is the least affected as it is never along the Singapore River as it is bordering Mirage Towers plot / Jiak Kim Street and empty land. 5. Yes, you should be very cautious when selecting any specific unit at this development particularly those "next to/ or beside the Singapore River. 6. At another development Block 95Rivergate bordering Robertson Quay and River Valley Close also should "watch out" as this is even more in line with the unfavourable senario as found under the water classics. Fortunately Block 97 of this same development has a water feature or buffer between it and the Singapore River. 7. For those intending to purchase a unit in Mirage Towers or Rivergate, should try to get expert advice before committing to the purchase. As "fortunes can wane widely between different units in this development".
