A. COLOUR OF THE MAIN GATE:- 1. Frankly, in my opinion, in modern times; this type of thinking is like "stone age" ideas. 2. For sure, if you are living in Singapore, I can assure that I have literally walked thru so many various landed property estates: in the East, North-East, West, NW, Central/Southetc.. 3. I have yet to come across "multi" coloured in particular: the main gate. 4. I have yet to come across a blood or maroon red main gate nor a blue coloured one nor a bright yellow (unless it is a temple). B. COLOUR OF THE MAIN DOOR:- 5. However, for the main door, yes, colours are considered. 6. Many geomancers in Singapore; felt that Singapore island is in the "south" e.g. South or tip of once a member of West Malaysia. 7. Thus, here, it quite similar to your home facing south; geomancers thus say that a white or off-white main door is the "best" overall (general) colour. 8. In general; a wood door e.g. in any range of wood tones are fine. For example, if one stays in a condo; there were times where a subsidary proprietor (tenant) tired to change the colour or the door; but was told to replace back the same design main door. Thus, for condos; there is restriction. 9. Therefore, if the main door is of wood range e.g. maple wood colour, pine wood, teak wood, cherry wood, oak wood and other wood tones.. it is considered neutral. 9.1 On the practical side; such doors are easy to maintain; and the natural oil on our hands, will not do much 'damage" if any - constant usage of the door. Many of such doors can easily be re-oiled or varnished. 9.2 In the future, should one sell the home; a wooden door or main door would be neutral. Rather than a door painted in blue or yellow or red. Anyway, if stained or painted, can be repainted. White doors, often after a few months; marks or stains can be seen close to the door knob area. 10. Thus, if you not using bold colours like blue, red, yellow, green; then should plot out the Flying Star chart and check whether that sector is suitable or not. For example, if the sector has a Water Star #3; then best not to paint the main door GREEN.

More photos...

These photos were taken a week before Chinese New Year (CNY) 2011... Range from: Buddha's Palm, Fuji apples with wordings on them; Fa Gao's etc...

Once again, many thanks for your feedback! I have personally, created a new account and test out the entire process. So far, seems Ok.

More photos: Green Qi Lins and a unique Lion statue

Sights of CNY 2011, gone past...

Another Chinese New Year (CNY) is over... these are some of the photos of the Chinese produce meant either to be offered , prayed and eaten later .....

Traditionally, a pair of sugar cane is tied on each side of the altar table's legs...

Chinese New Year (CNY) 2011 This is a picture of a basket full of the longevity bread in the shape of the peach. It is known as Shou Tao or Longevity peach with a bright auspicious pink colour.

On one of the early mornings (still within the Chinese New Year - CNY) period; saw this uncle changing the offerings; i.e. replacing old Fa Gaos and fruits / tea cups with new ones... Did you see the large x2 Fa Gaos?

These pink pineapple flowers are not for human consumption. Unlike the regular pineapple we find in the stores... If it is not for human consumption? Then erh.. who is suppose to consume it? CLUE? It is an offering on the altar table. And pink colour is considered as very auspicious.... Furthermore, it is sold at $2.88/-... Sounds familiar? Well, most of the Feng Shui services fees end also with an 88!

Nowadays, even if one is considered rich; take the case of Michael Jackson; in my opinion; with his (past) high costs of living; money can easily go down the drain in just a matter of years, months or even days! So nowadays, even if one is rich or born with a silver spoon; this may not be enough! And how many people can say that they were born that way.. Many still need to work.. Because of this; the greater dependence of luck now comes from both Earth (Feng Shui) and Human (Man) Luck factors! Depending on individuals; these two type of luck may not also be of equal standing.. for all persons, all the time... Think of it like a ballon; one ball may expand, while the other may contract. For a super lucky guy, both balls may even blow sky high!

Further to what I had mentioned, do take note:- 1. In your case, do avoid having the altar sharing the same wall as the toilet (even if it is only) the basin.. 2. Do take note that the Guan Yin figurine is already seated on a lotus flower; then even if one purchase a single height altar; she (Guan Yin) is already elevated... only make sure that the ancestor tablet is placed lower than the "lotus flower" seat...

1. Frankly, it cannot be applied directly to just a NE or SW home! 2. In reality; there is no known scientfic fact or documentation anywhere currently to say that spirits or ghosts haunt only NE or SW homes! 3. For a very simple example: if a home is facing South; but it has a closet located at SW sector; and for some strange reasons; this is an old house; and coincidentally, all the Flying Star numbers at that sector is yin; then that sector is considered as too yin..... 4. We often hear... of "cold spots" and there my just be a cold spot in that closet. 5. Thus it is not right to generalise.. in this manner...

1. Frankly, there are sufficient cases on this subject. Go check out the most recent posting on the "altar". 2. It is not possible for me to answer each and every question on this subject. 3. The rulesets are similar in most cases. 4. In the past, I had also posted the ruleset for placement of the ancestor vs deity... 5. If one stands looking at an altar; the ancestor is always to the left while the deity is to the right. 6. Many altars that cater to both ancestor and deity already has two different heights built into them. Again. standing facing the altar: LEFT = ancestor etc... 7. Please go check out past forum postings...

Another method of "testing" to see if a tree trunk or lamp post or other tall thin objects may pose as a poison arrow... This is most effective for any threats at (or to the) ground level premises. It is also good as a secondary check for higher floors as we can move our neck and have a quick glance to see if it does pose a threat to higher floors. For higher floors, your method is good; but do remember to stand immediately at the middle of the window facing outwards.. In this case, it should be looking from "B" towards "A".

Frankly, as the photos are taken at a slant from the window(s) looking outwards, it is harder to visualise the "threats" if any. So far, please refer to this photo: 172.JPG; the white car if facing the small (winter) tree; in the future, this tree might pose a threat. Currently this tree is thin and nto so tall; in my opinion, it does not pose a threat. For a window; if there is indeed a threat; then a day curtain draped over the window is good enough...to act as a "screen"

These are some of the considerations:- 1. How many of us; during our school days, were "forced" to change our sitting (study positions) "yearly". 2. Come-on; are you implying that you will judiciously monitor "yearly" where Tai Sui is and request the person: male or female to change his table directions, again yearly? 3. If your intention is to change; just because you became interested in Fung Sway.. today.. What happens if you got tired of Fung Sway.. and venture into other areas.. would you still care to change your table direction. 4. Frankly, speaking, I can't even be bothered to review and or change my directions (yearly) as long as I own the same home.... 5. In your case, if you want an answer from me: the easiest recommendation is: to flip the coin: Heads or Tails, please.

The Shanghai Commission for Management of Language use has been trying to fix malapropisms in the city's English-language signs and menus. "Gone too, is Racist Park, a cultural attraction that has since been rechristened Minorities Park.

1. Please see attached illustration. 2. Just imagine : Heaven Luck, Earth Luck and Human (Man) Luck factors in a chain. 3. When these three chains inter-lock; any influence on one of these chains will affect the other two chains... 4. And noise pollution should be directly affecting the HUMAN (MAN) Luck factor.. In turn, it also spills over to the other two chains... some sort of a "chain reaction"...

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. Why is Marking "B" considered the best choice? 1.1 If we are considering the only deity known as Guan Kong (Gong); then this warrior holding a long shaft bladed knife is best to face directly the main entrance door. 1.2 For other gods e.g. Guan Yin and ancestor tablet; it is not compulsory for them to face the main entrance door. 1.3. Look at the illustration. Just visualise if we were to place the deity figurine at marking A. Most likely we are not closing the kitchen door or sometimes, we don't even have a kitchen door. At marking A, the altar or a deity on this altar can see into the kitchen; and most likely can also see the kitchen stove and hob.. This is not advantages. 2. Thus, marking B seems to be the best position. As this position can be considered as "Standing Guard" at the entrance. 2.1. Just imagine you have guards guarding the Istana entrance. And for many Singapore Minister's home; you can always find a small guard room just outside the main entrance. 2.2. Thus if one looks carefully at marking "B"; the deity is also (like) standing guard outside the entrance; of the passage-way leading into the bedrooms. The deity is not meant to look inwards into what one is doing in the bedroom. 2.3. Thus, the whole region where I highlighed in YELLOW with a RED X where the proposed the television living room is; 2.4 just imagine; if we were to place a deity there, it may "peep" into our bedroom(s); see "strange activities" ; can also "look into the toilet"... sometimes; if we look closely later into the eyes of the deity; it may always end up getting "sore eyes" just looking at our human activities.. eg. . naked, love-making etc... etc... 2.5 Thus it is always not favourable to place an altar facing TOWARDS bedrooms or toilets where we may roam.. or ROMP! whatever!

A picture tells a ....

Do search for "point block" and this is one of the past resource:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=14536&new=

These are some of the considerations: 1. Why? Not? 2. In a recent forum message; I had mentioned that "tower blocks" or those government housing board "Point-Blocks" have lots of leeway.. for all types of nonsense! 3. The superiority of "tower blocks" often outweigh even any unusual designs.. such as this! 4. For all you know or never know; or aware; perhaps, the layouts may even be inputs by a geomancer... 5. In fact, sometimes it is a blessing in disguise! If every Jane, Jill and Janet and all the Toms, Dicks and Harrys think like you; 6. There will be more choices for those really interested in buying a unit. And with a wider choice; comes the prospect of buying a "better / best unit".. 7. Look at the pre-opening sales / sales to directors and all sorts.. and often when a unit is launched; practically "all the perceived" best units are taken.. 8. Thus, because of the superiority of the "tower block" designs; which can better withstand any nonsense thrown to it; based on this: I would consider - if I need to buy a unit - there, thus why not? But be selective... 9. As in all or most developments: there are excellent units / good ones / average ones and those that as you had menionted.. no geomancer worth his salt would consider buying... it applies to all developments.. not just this one....
