1. Unlike the Interlace condominium, this seems like transporting us back to the mid-1970's high-rise development. 2. Many family with staying in their parents 5 Room HDB Point Block flats would find their unit very familiar to the many 5RM HDB Point Blocks dotting the entire Singapore especially those of the HUDC Laguna Park/View (at Marine Parade)and HUDC Braddel flats that were constructed in 1976. This is a plus point in terms of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 3. Point Blocks have an advantage in that usually if we do not open the main entrance door; often, there are three sides where "wind" can circulate freely in such a home. Here, the Eight Blocks of flats have sufficient space between. 4. Expected date of completion should beeither end of this year or perhaps by mid-2011 since progress is good. This development hasa total of 521 units. And is just 1 to 3 minutes walk to theNorth-East MRT line. (The MRT station is just beside it) 5. The developer is CENTURION KOVAN PTE LTD

Circular steps are not "ederly" and "baby" friendly. However, this picture shows an auspicious "total of 5 steps" and semi-circular design...

The pictures shows the common Malay style roofs. These roofs tower over the car-park behind the Geylang Serai Market and Food Complex: http://www.rednano.sg/sfe/allsearch.action?allsearch=true&view=map&querystring=1+geylang+serai Some of the apartments in either of Housing & Development Board (HDB)flats: Blocks 412, 414,416 will be affected by thetriangle roofs of the Geylang Serai Market and Food Complex. Picture tells it all. Photos taken fromnearby Joo Chiat Complex.

1. You can check whether the apartment unit's number from this free link http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports-list/hselist-houseno.htm 2. Please note that it is not possible for me to look at every stack in the various condos. Sometimes, I do it selectively. At other times like this, when I am involved various project; I am unable to look at the many daily requests.

Please refer to my previous illustration: where standing at A senario. If it does not match what was mentioned previously, then......

These are some of the considerations: 1. The overall concept of placing the flutes or two flutes has more to do with SYMBOLISM in Feng Shui than anything else. 2. When it comes to symbolism; there is no hard or fast rule. 3. For example, it is not like studying to become a real life doctor of medicine. Here, a doctor must have an exact understanding of say where all the internal organs and veins in a person. 4. Symbolism in Feng Shui can be wide ranging and subject to lots of various interpretations. So long as it sounds reasonable, it can be used. 5. Thus the most common method of placing flutes especially a pair of flutes is shown under this link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=11871&new=) 6. What you mentioned, whether the mouth piece should be up or down differs greatly from many people. 7. Frankly, para 6 does NOT matter! As I had mentioned, there are even more concepts like buying a SET of Dragon and Phoenix flute. So, here again, there can be an issue of should I place dragon left or right of the phoenix. The placement of the dragon and phoenix flute: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=13759&new=) 8. Again, IT DOES NOT MATTER! 9. What matters is symbolism in Feng Shui. The rationale for slanting the flutes is to symbolise a Ba Gua profile or outline! 10. Please see attachment. Feng Shui is not like medical science. Under Feng Shui, a person's heart, lung and even intestine can be all over the body.. and it is still absolutely OK! 11. The morale of the story, here is: If one wants to apply Feng Shui; don't study anatomy!

1. Frankly, the picture can't really tell anything as it is taken at angle and not a view directly standing e.g. as shown in the attachment marking in red "A" looking out towards "B". 2. Roughly, if the railway tracks is running parallel to your apartment block; this is acceptable or no major issue. 3. As there is a power line tower; this can pose as a sha qi or poison arrow. For example, if any of these power line towers slices into your apartment window or balcony opening; then this is a sha qi. Here, please see attachment. 4. The other concern is often "noise pollution". And some people may be affected by noisy train movements. This is not Feng Shui but does have an impact of Human or Man Luck factors. And even for children who may need concentration in their studies.

In my opinion, 99.99 percent of all Shapes and Forms Feng Shui can be related to "commonsense". Ranging from toilets, bedrooms etc... Thus, if it has no basis in commonsense, then most likely it is hocus pocus and not Feng Shui. One major technique of Shapes and Forms is QI. And it is very useful to use our imagination especially to see how qi moves, meander - flows.

These are some considerations:- 1. Your question is too (too) general. 2. For example, see attachment. There is a difference if your home's frontage is at B, C, D or E. 3. Other considerations include how the water drains from the home out of the home premises. 4. Any water position e.g. large canal behind the home or if the home is facing a T-junction etc... 5. There are frankly too many unanswered questions. 6. Equally important is the top-view or helicopter view of outline of the whole house and whether the home is squarish /rectagular or same trapeezoid outline of walls. 7. Frankly, in such a "state"; might as well flip a coin: Heads (auspicious) Tails (inauspicious) or vice-versa = anybody's guess. Claudine E. wrote: Hi I am looking at a property which is on land shaped as a right-angled trapeezoid. (see attached) The front of the property is the non-pointed part and the back is the point. Is this classified as a trapezoid or a triangle lot and is it too difficult to remedy? There are many such properties in my area. Thank you, Claudine

1. Since I believe she (could) be in Malaysia; it is worth considering getting expert help i.e. from a Geomancer in your country. 2. As frankly, short description(s) like what you had mentioned; is difficult to evaluate upon the limited information given. As it is also looking at whether the river is parallel to; curved in or outwards; which direction the water flows in relation to her new home. 3. Usually, there is another element: especially for older homes close to a river is the concern of white termites - this is controllable and not Feng Shui.

1. Since this is a home office, you can treat the home office sector within the home's Flying Star Chart - especially since it is not a large area. 2. Thus, you can super-impose the Flying Star (pie chart or 9 grid) and determine the sector star influences within that sector based on the actual home's facing direction. 3. You can also apply the Eight House concept to see if you are able to sit facing a good direction especially: "Prosperity" and/or "Excellent" sector.

The link for our International consultancy is within this link:- http://www.geomancy.net/consultation/consult-home/offsite-consultation.htm (Off-site. For on-site, a special quote is needed).

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Attached please find an illustration. 2. I have already marked the centrepoint of your home. And you can use this as the basis of a Flying Star PIE chart to chart out the various sectors. Note: PIE chart is easier than the 9 grid in such a layout plan. 3. Based on your description, the side facing the riverlet should not be considered as the facing direction of the home, since the living areas is bounded by both the garage and the kitchen and that there are also the stairs and wash area, here. 4. For the purpose of drawing a Flying Star chart; the potential facing directions are either:marked in RED; A or B or C. 5. For those who had stayed in a home for quite sometime could try to map out the flying stars under facing direction A 343 degrees &/or B 30 &/or C 70 and see which chart matches the "history" of the home. 6. In your situation, the most likely (1st choice) facing direction is marking in red: A. And because of the slight slant in your home; another 2nd choice is marking B. While marking C is the breath of the house vs the length; there is a higher weightage : or the most yang or the most windows or surface area at marking A or B.

Although South facing (Flying Star Period 8 South 2) has overall good Feng Shui, however, many units facing south would be affected by "Fire-at-Heaven's gate". For example, just take note of this unit confirguration. Where the balcony faces South and the stove is directly on the NW compass direction. Thus this unit suffers from "Fire at Heaven's gate". Many of such units are dotted within the ClementiWood's condominium. Will may have a bearing in the male breadwinner's career as well as 'no luck - from heaven'.

ClementiWoods (Clementi Woods) condo is in the final touch-up... TOP pretty.. soon!

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. The country is a Right-Hand Drive or RHD country. 2. Again, just imagine an out of control Toyota Pirus or Lexus SUV.... Source: Four Dead Due to Toyota Stuck Accelerator Pedal - autoevolution or Memo Reveals Tragic Details Of Stuck Pedal Lexus Crash (Pics 3. House No. 1's important structures are away from the direct path of the T-junction. Thus if the car ploughs in a straight line; it does not "affect" any major structure of the home other than maybe the main gate; the drive-way and or garage.

Heard this recent converstation at the Toyota dealership:- Tom (Potential semi-luxury car purchaser) : "I like the drive of this Toyota Camry" Eager salesman: "Yes, this is a semi-luxury car that will fit your bill. Why semi-luxury? This is because; this is one level below our Lexus luxury cars". Tom: "How reliable is it? Will I get the same problem as those American ones where it may bring up the average risks of a car ploughing into my house in a "T-junction" Eager salesman: "This car is so well built that now; even Singapore Comfort Delgro is considering this model as their replacement taxi as they found that the Hundai Sonata's are not that reliable" Tom: "This is bad news! Currently already one taxi company already uses this model! And if Comfort Delgro distributes this to their taxi drivers... I won't want to drive this model" Eager salesman: "Oh! -- tongue tied ... feeling down and out" Tom: " Futhermore, you know, I am a Chinese Hokkien. And I won't want to be caught dead in a CAMRY!" Eager salesman: "Feeling even more depressed...asked: WHY SIR?" Tom: "For us Hokkiens - CAMRY means " Kiam Lui " = OWE MONEY in hokkien". Tom: "Fine for taxi drivers since every day before they start their shift; they already owe money; thus this CAMRY car is a perfect fit" Eager salesman: "OIC! Would you want to consider our SUV instead.." Tom: "I don't want to die young, especially flipped upside down or die like that in your SUV! Go read the newspaper or reviews!" Eager salesman: "Why don't you consider our unique MARK "X" instead?" Tom: "For Camry, at leastit is only "owe money". For mark X; I don't want to be marked for life and further; we Chinese feel that X is inauspicious!" Choy...

1. Suunto only influences your luck when you use their instruments. 2. Feng Shui focuses on Earth Luck, or the luck that comes from your home or office. 3. What about Geomancy? 3.1 In the past, for example, from the 1960s to the early 1980s, a geomancer could not survive by practicing Feng Shui alone. 3.2 To stay in business, geomancers offered services for all stages of a person's life. 3.3 When a child is born, parents or grandparents often consult a geomancer for advice on naming the newborn. 3.4 Geomancers may also provide Chinese astrology services to predict the future or offer guidance for those seeking advice. 3.5 Feng Shui services are available for those looking to improve their home or office. 3.6 Finally, Feng Shui principles are used to select good burial sites for the deceased. 4. Many years ago, most geomancy companies included "Geomancy" in their name instead of "Feng Shui." 5. This is why we chose the domain name Geomancy.net rather than something like Feng Shui.xxx.

Suunto (the maker of good quality compass instruments) believe in replacing luck - if one uses their instrument. Feng Shui on the other-hand in some ways is like trying to squeeze out as much luck! We can thus say that the common denominator of both is : luck. Fortrue christians, however; the pastor would often say: "Trust God, not luck!" For most taxi drivers (in Singapore) would often say: "Hope I am lucky today!"

1. Frankly, what you had mentioned; is beyond the scope of this General Advice Forum. 2. Either you have to Do it yourself (DIY) or seek expert help. 3. As for DIY, like everyone else; there are lots of concepts to both digest and make use of. And often, it is an uphill task. 4. Under the Holy Trinity of Luck:- 4.1. Heaven Luck = born with 4.2. Earth Luck = Feng Shui of the home and/or office 4.3. Human or man luck = relationship with family members, family support etc.. 5. Feng Shui is not a cure all. And even within Feng Shui: there are things like Shapes and Forms, Flying Star and even ba zi of bread winners in relation to the home etc...

1. These are some of the resources on the Salt water "cure":- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=7&mid=14743&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=12257&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=3&mid=24740&new= 2. In general, the main purpose of the salt water WITH water WITH coins is to create a chemical reaction much like an ancient way of "producing" negative ions. 3. Usually this cure is meant where there is or are very serious sickness stars or sickness star combinations where #5 are involved (be it for the year or the 20 year flying star) Sometimes if there are any of these three combinations of #5 misfortune or sickness and/or #2 sickness and/or #9 fire to fuel it; this is one of the cure. 4. In modern times, the proven cure is the use of such things as hepa air cleaner with ioniser etc... Ronald R. wrote: i remember last time, my previous FSM asked me to buy his glass and some coins to put inside as well and only need to change the contents after 3mths. placed at south-west. 5. Yes, if the purpose is to create negative ions, then coins must be used. 6. Changing the contents after every 3mths depends on the acidity, how often water is topped up and even the quality of the coins. As most of these coins are "fake coins" and the content of bronze or copper differs greatly. In general, 3 months is a fair time to change - visually, such as the coins are badly corroded...etc.. 7. You should clarify with your new FSM what is his rationale. As I mentioned earlier; logically, if one wants to create "activity" salt (acidity) with copper (and other metals) and water has a chemical reaction. While salt (acidity) with water in a neutral glass jar = ??? question mark. 8. Yes, in-fact, this is the first time I come across what you had mentioned also on this thing of "missing the coins".

1. I belong to the old school where all my cars must be installed with:- 1.1. Mud-guard for both front and rear of the car 1.2. Side mouldings to protect the body of the car 2. My wish? 2.1. How I wish all car parks are installed with friendly "Parking Blocks or Wheel Stops". 2.2. My wish came thru when I went for a Feng Shui audit at the Fontaine Parry condominium at Poh Huat Road. 3. The developer installed a "mud-guard" friendly "parking block or wheel stop". 3.1. Such that even if I were to roll my car wheels touching the parking block, my car's mud-guard does not scrape the "parking block". 4. Any way, this is only a dream as unfortunately, I don't visit this development often as I don't stay there. 5. Frankly, I have no relation to the company advertised on the parking block. But I repeat; I do love this "mud-guard" friendly parking block(s). 6. In fact, more people should install mud guard(s) to their car. As it is both friendly to your own car as mud or debris is kept to the minimium spewing to the car body and the bottom of the car. 7. In fact, the rear mud-guard serves a useful purpose especially on highways as just imagine; as following behind such a car can save you from rocks hitting your car's bonnet or body...

Varsity Park Condominium is a relatively large condominium. There are lots of winding paths... in this condo. Perhaps, the developer has decided to make it difficult for "spirits" to meander in the condo parks. (As the idea is that spirits are suppose to move in a straight line and not follow a winding path!)

The red-line on these photos shows clearly the winding path...
