If you are a Singaporean, no need to look at this! If you have ever been to Singapore; or have yet to come and visit Singapore; then; Do take note that when one sees a packet of tissue paper on a vacant dining table or several packets of tissue paper infront of each seat; the tissue paper(s) are not FREE! It simply means that someone has "reserved" the seat! So don't ever take that "vacant" seat! Nor think that that tissue paper packet is FREE!

This Chinese religious home has a highly decorated frontage. With a Tee Kong (Earth god) figurine and altar on the floor. Did you see the Earth God (Tee Kong) - wearing yellow clothing? Look closely at attachment: my home5.jpg Perhaps, there are two items missing: two lanterns on each side of the main door and/or a red "Ang Cai" banner above the main door entrance!

As most of us are aware of the holy trinity of luck; I am sure as a loving parent you have taken as much effort in your son's human or man luck factors. As for his environment, I suppose, where he spents most of his time, this is his earth luck or Feng Shui.This is equally important as some sectors may have some Feng Shui issues; and often bazi or Heaven Luck is used to try to improve and harmonize with the earth luck. This is apparently unknown, here.

It is good that you mentioned that you already have a "mountain" at thee frontage. I had also mentioned that there are all kinds of water. One kind is CLEAR space andd bright and airy. Yet, you keep on talking about real water. If not sure, re_read the above and my last message, please.

Yeap, like her soon to be husband says, not everyone is superstitious about getting married in the same year, especially muslims.

Attached is an interesting flow-chart of responsibilites... In Asia, it is very common to have the type of flow-chart reflected on the right of this illustration. In Europe or West; the typical Developer works with the Main Architect.

1. Frankly, there are two kinds of Feng Shui: those relating to authentic ones.. and there is another category known as Bull-shit ones where many sell commercial products. 2. Feng Shui is very popular today; may not be as prevalent in Europe; but is now very popular even in the US and re-exported back to an "open China". 3. I strongly belive the rounding of edges "AIN"T gona help!" Seriously in my opinion; you got to stop the "itch" and go back to the traditional row upon rows of how houses or villas should look like. 4. Don't try to be the hero and re-invent the wheel 5. Frankly, to you even if houses are percieved far away from each other; unfortunately; you are not the pay-master! This is the difference between your perception of a distant porcupine or porcupines... Again, even how far the procupines are; don't test the ground... sure guaranteed to FLUNK great time! 6. In addition; this is another cultural lesson; most "Chinese or Chinese related" clients don't ever say things directly. Many don't tell you in the FACE... especially if the layout plan goes ping pong diplomacy; you should get the HINT!

These are some considerations:- 1. In my opinion; although your concept can be applauded as it allows "staggered" greenery; but from a External Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is a "time-bomb" or there are lots of porcupine needles. 2. Here, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, the edge of a building is suppose to act like a poison arrow aimed towards it's neighbour. 3. For example, there are simply too many "porcupines" or spikes; thus randomly; you can see "sha qi" or poison arrows in RED aimed from the edge of a building towards it's neighbour. 4. For example, take the look at the slanted club-house; it is at an angle; where the edge of the corner seems to point directly towards a neighbour home. 5. Frankly, there are just too many of these "porcupines"; thus, I just simply marked a few out of a "ton" of them. 6. No wonder; your masterplan unfortunately gets the "boot!'. It will not pass! 7. Personally, I have done so many masterplan and in the attachment is one of the many I done for Vietnam. 8. And yes, although the townhouses and residential homes and villas are in rows upon rows.. this is a very common feature! In the attached PDF, the terrace and semi-detached homes are in an orderly arrangement. Originally; the developer also had something like your porcupine layout... 9. Your proposal is something like this:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=29103&new= There is an illustration of a home that sticks out like a sore-thumb amongst standard rows of flat. 10. I am afraid; this should be bea culture shock of sorts for you. Your master plan; thus cannot pass under the "Shapes and Forms Feng Shui" that's why most likely... 11. The morale of the story? Don't hope that it will ever be accepted! Spent your midnight oil and Change it! Nowadays, everywhere, not just the Chinese are trying to build Feng Shui friendly homes...

Further to what I had mentioned, under the link below; the triangle roofs are considered as a "poison arrow" and they can aim towards another building or neighbouring townhouse or even villa... http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=27624&new=

In addition. 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; a triangular roof can be considered as a poison arrow. 2. See attachment. 3. If the neighbouring blocks are parallel to each other and face it other identical; for example marking Y and Z shows that the two blocks are aligned exactly the same; thus even if it's triangular roof is a poison arrow; it cancels each other out. 4. While for markings A and B; the blocks are not aligned so is C and D. Thus, C's triangular roof shoots a poison arrow towards D's and vice versa. 5. Thus, if the development is or was built; and usually if it is not Feng Shui friendly; many of such units are hard up to be sold. 6. I have quickly added more "porcupines" into this masterplan. There are more.. too many.. phew! 7. Good innocent concept; but ain't gonna work for the all time Feng Shui concepts... frankly, just won't do... unfortunately!

Applying the concept of "The Holy Trinity" of Luck:- 1. Heaven Luck = ba zi : this includes both of you being strong earth 2. Earth Luck = Feng Shui of home and office 3. Human Luck (or man luck) = relationship with each other. Mathematically, each of the above three luck = Heaven Luck = 33.3333 percent Earth Luck = 33.3333 percent Human Luck = 33.3333 percent Overall, I have always mentioned: some people are not blessed with good Heaven Luck and in your case; the two partners are strong earth person. Thus, one should try to squeeze out luck from earth and/or Human luck. Sometimes; some people also have average Earth luck or Feng Shui. So how; commonsense or cowsense says that there are lots of people; who don't have both heaven and earth luck; but; they have good family bonding etc.. and this third category called Human or Man luck factors is in essence = RELATIONSHIP building... Got it, get it?

These are some considerations: 1. When did you last position the altar; there. 2. For example, if you had say moved in many years ago e.g. 6 years ago; and had the altar at that spot for many years; then : "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" applies. 3. If you have just moved-in and realised that the location may not be good; then; you have to consider if there are any acceptable or good alternative (or not?) If there is not a "better" location; then this current location is considered the "lesser of the two evils". 4. In general; overall; it is still best not to place the altar even if the wall behind it is the niche where one takes a bath. Again; do refer to Para 2 and Para 3; above.

This came from the first page of my website: lovesigns.net:- The nature of love is one of the great mysteries of life. "One way you can improve your relationship and love life by understanding one another's personality." Many of us, after reading something.. e.g. the characterists of a "pig" and may even consciously or unconciously act out the role of a "pig". If so, the above statement in BLUE, should be a 'counter' to auto-suggestion. Thus, if one feels that the Chinese zodiac signs lead us to fear our opposite; one could instead; use this adversity in a positive manner; by reading up the "traits" of say both our sign to better understand the tempermanet and behaviour of the other party! That is how; I personally realistically feel that this is a better model.

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. The adage: "Love is blind" .... 2. Sometimes; it is best not to relate or look into the area of compatibility; as often the dangers are:- 2.1. Auto-suggestion For example, if we scold a rabbit or a sheep; it is none the wiser. But if the couple has a major quarrel; one never knows; one may even bring up the issue of "compatibility" and doubt may set i. 2.2. Self-fullfilling prophecy It may literally come true! 3. Best advice is if both of you really are in love and make that life long commitment; don't look back at "such things" Chinese zodiac signs etc...

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Based on one's Year of birth; yes, in the attached picture diagram; every six years, the animal sign facing each other is suppose to be the "worst pairing":- http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/horoscope.htm 2. We can't change the basic Chinese Astrology / Zodiac sign means of suggesting the above "worst" paring. Thus, in the attached diagram; correspondingly; the rat's worst pairing is that of a horse. 3. The good news; is that the above; today, is equivalent of "kindergarten" type of Chinese Astrology as it is based soley on one's YEAR of birth. 4. Tze Wei Tou Shou is quite similar to Ba Zi; and for ba zi; the inputs are even more : 4.1. In order to create a ba zi chart; it is compulsory to have: DD / MM / YYYY . Time of birth is good but if not available; still acceptable. 5. Thus; Chinese astrology needs only one field: Year of birth; Ba zi needs at least three variables: Day / Month / Year (and even Hour of birth). 6. For example; best to further check compatiblity is via one's ba zi. For example: Anyone can be born in a specific year e.g. 1980. But in that year, there are so many variables: Strong Metal or Weak; Strong Water or Weak; Strong Wood or Weak; Strong Fire or Weak; Strong Earth or Weak. 7. For example, if you are considered as a weak wood; but your spouse is a strong water person. Here, even if both of you are either a pig or a snake; under the five elements concept: strong water supports weak wood. Thus based on the bazi; this two persons: are considered to be very compatible. As a weak wood person; gets support from a strong water person. And a strong water person; can have weak wood to draw out the too much water; making the strong water = balanced out...

This postcard was taken in the 1970's. Therefore, there were few tall buildings. The tall buildings on the right of the photos like People's Park Complex and other buildings were only constructed after the 1970's.. Previously; the building covered by clay (reddish) bricks was the only tallest building around in the 1960's. It is the forerunner of the now Housing Development Board (HDB). And guess what... it is a diving platform for a one-way trip to HELL! In the past;?one could often?see an old lady standing on the road cursing at the building. Why? That was the building where her son tried to be a superman.. but failed miserably.. or rather fatally!

These are some of the considerations: 1. Yes, in theory or on paper; based on Flying Star Feng Shui; for a P8 SW2, the water star #8 is at NE (sitting position). 2. But even for Flying Star Feng Shui; it is not like one size fits all sort of thing. 3. If the back of the house is "enclosed"; it does not make sense to place a water position. Although, one may still (if one wants to) an urn; to catch rain. But make sure that it is does not become stagnant water for mosquito breeding. 4. If the home has say a 2nd storey; especially after a rain; allow the windows to be opened to refresh air/qi. 5. Sometimes water #8 can be activate by making sure that the place is bright and airy. And /or a place of activity e.g. in some homes the back of the compound is quite large and one can even have a garden santuary at say the NE location.

This is usually how a Can or Cannot Buy House Hunting (Guildline) Report looks like.. The report looks at the main breadwinner and analyses the various stars, combinations, suitability with housewith ba zi suitability. This this sample is of a male person Date of Birth: 23 Mar 1978 and the House is a Period 8: 2004 onwards till 2023:- Type of House Direction of Main Door Excellent House N1 (337.5-352.4) , E1 (67.5-82.4) , S1 (157.5-172.4) , S2 (172.5-187.4) , S3 (187.5-202.4) Auspicious House N2 (352.5-7.4) , N3 (7.5-22.4) , E2 (82.5-97.4) , E3 (97.5-112.4) , SE1 (112.5-127.4) Auspicious/Average but Unsuitable House SE2 (127.5-142.4) , SE3 (142.5-157.4) Inauspicious House NW2 (307.5-322.4) , NW3 (322.5-337.4) , NE1 (22.5-37.4) , NE2 (37.5-52.4) , NE3 (52.5-67.4) , SW1 (202.5-217.4) , SW2 (217.5-232.4) , SW3 (232.5-247.4) , W1 (247.5-262.4) , W2 (262.5-277.4) , W3 (277.5-292.4) , NW1 (292.5-307.4)

These are some of the considerations:- 1. In my opinion; the major key success factor is : Location, location and location. 2. The most sensible thing one should do; like the majority of people is: to bring your partner and or the entire family to the proposed new home. 3. In fact, Para 2; is always what most of us do until some "discovered" Fung Sway! 4. Just imagine; majority of us depend on our instincts to purchase a home. And in fact; majority have been successful. 5. When one starts or try to make sane of so many Feng Shui and even Bazi concepts; here; the yearn for the perfect home is injected into our head. 6. In a house hunting report; there is the overview of the 15 directions and which directions are very good; good; so-so; inauspicious based on the Flying Star + another variable = when the home is/was built. 7. Unless one is applying Ba zi Feng Shui; then one has to evaluate Para 6 with your best directions. And some apply Ba zi Feng Shui. If so, with more variables; as you had found out... for a novice; or not an expert in the Can or cannot buy field; it is trying to walk into a mine-field and home that one does not step onto a mine. 8. In general:- 8.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: Location, location and location is of paramount importance. 8.2. Next greater weigthage is to the Flying Star Feng Shui 8.3. As for the eight house; if Para 8.2. is an excellent house; then for the breadwinner; the facing direction can be "irritation" or "spook" vs "death" or "disaster"; And other considerations include; looking into the sector(s) how best does family member's fit. 8.4. The dreaded afternoon sun is still a major consideration 8.5. Another consideration is Bazi Feng Shui. Some geomancers consider that since Bazi has more inputs: and in a very detailed bazi : DD/MM/YYYY and Time is included; thus; some geomancers say this has a higher weighage than just the Eight House. As this Eight House thing has fewer variable inputs e.g. Year of birth as the consideration. 9. Thus, under 8.5. the concept of G.I.G.O. may be a consideration. Since Bazi uses so many detailed information (even without the time of birth) it is still considered fairly accurate vs say the Eight House. 10. The only senario is that unfortunately, bazi results often differs. Thus, there are many geomancers that can get your bazi wrong, also. So, if your bazi is analysed wrongly; then.. so is the results. 11. Thus this goes back to Para 2. above. This is the most practical method!

i) Can I tweak the main door to face North East which is located in North, so that the main door direction is favorable to me?>> I was staying in a single storey link-house which built in year 2005, where the main door is located at North 2 and also facing North. As I was a West group Kua 7, where main door facing North is not favorable, according to Ba Zhai i) Can I tweak the main door to face North East which is located in North, so that the main door direction is favorable to me? ii) Do I still enjoy the Flying Star double 8 in my North 2 facing house, should my main door located in North has been alter to face North East? Thank you in advance for your advice.

If you are an American-Chinese; with partial shiny head and at least 65 years old; move to Hawaii: Honolulu; the land of the Hawaii FIVE-O!

Source & Credit: Today, Newspaper, 10 March 2011 What makes him the happiest man in the US? New York - A Chinese-American man in Hawaii has been named the happiest person in the United States by a New York Times/Gallup poll. Gallup identified a statistical hypothesis for its survey: Male, tall, Asian-American, an observant Jew, at least 65 years old, maried with children, and a business owner with a household income of more than US$120,000 (S$152,315)...

Frankly, look at it this way, you are there to take a reading and you did say that your reading of the facade was something like S1. I have already mentioned my views on tilting a door e.g. from S1 to S2. Overall; no geomancer is on the ground. Thus, the ball is on your court. If your reading is accurate; fine. But if it is G.I.G.O. then really.. (full stop) P.S. For new members; what is G.I.G.O. can be found under this sample link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=27534&new=

In 2021; most of us who had spent our holidays in China in the 2011's would reminiscent how CHEAP China was. In 2021; I believe; the Chinese currency will be much stronger than the US currency.....

In 2031 onwards... this will most likely be the senario Here's the "good news"... If you can understand the two graphics; clap; clap; clap.... you do have a higher "Shapes and Forms" factor i.e. better abstract understanding... If you don't seem to understand these two imagines; so sorry; either you have an extremely low IQ in the abstract area or you better stick to your FLYING STAR Feng Shui!
