Please refer to the attached illustration:- 1. In this sample illustration, the kitchen happens to be in the NW or Fire at Heaven's gate. 2. Thus, it is best that the stove is if possible, furthest from the true NW cardinal point. No matter how, for practical reasons, the stove no matter how, would still be somewhere in this kitchen. And again for practical reasons, the sink should not be extremely far away. 3. In this attachment, the sink and stove are on the same kitchen cabinet. Thus, of course it is nice to have the sink and stove separated but often, if the kitchen allows; preferred that the sink is 43 cm or 17inches or more away from the stove. 3.1 If really no choice then the stove may/could/ no choice be as little as 6 inches or more. (Of course or MORE is better). 3.2 I am not going to deal with the Fire at Heaven's gate in this sample illustration nor how far it should be away from the apple green markings of the range between the wordings "A" to "B".

Please see attachement:- 1. Please note that I purposely modified this file to show that the sink and stove is in a "L" shaped formation or turn. 2. For this kitchen, where it is affected by the Fire at Heaven's gate; the Part I: layout plan or it's variant is preferred over this one. 3. For this layout plan, I am not going to cover where the stove should be in relation to the "Open windows" at the service yard. (Shown under the Part I : in apple green range from markings "A" to "B". 4. In this sample illustration, so long as the sink does not "protude" into the area of the stove or vice versa, is fine or OK!

Charity begins at home!

Is it possible that every person who had ever owned this home; has died an unnatural death in this home? From the first owner to the last owner? By the way, please take note that JON, the 5th owner died in January 2010. Call this a house of calamity or house of death!

I am trying to locate the Boss of the Feng Shui emporium so that I can ask him for a refund for all the tons of useless Feng Shui products that he "pushed" to me!

Once broken considered sold! Once purchased; don't every try returning it!

Please check back to the most recent forum message on a similar topic. Sir,It is commonly said that there should not be a window or a door right across the main door as qi will escape too fast. But then there would be a wall. My house has a blank wall the moment you enter the front door. The wall is at a distance of 15 feet and in between is the living room. Is that good or an obstruction for qi. Please helpThanks

#3 ain't a good number under Flying star Feng Shui; that's for sure!

Are there any other methods of getting rid of staff instead of paying them retrenchment benefits?

Before placing an option to purchase the home; always bring along all family members to view the home.

1. For sure, to progress in Heaven, the higher one climbs, the better! 2. In Hell, the lower one goes under the better one gets!

Let's be practical (and reasonable). Can we turn back the clock? (Go back in time, today?) Yes or No? If can't what other remedy are you talking about?

Proper fixes in Feng Shui may address some of these concerns. However, this must be done correctly. Thus, if one cannot avail to the above; it is equally best to seek help of some sorts:- 1. For some couples; a frank chat with each other and/or 2. Seek advice such as from husband's mum - if he is close to or listen to her &/or she could be helpful 3. Some sort of counselling or support group Best of luck!

In my opinion, the concept of evil eye differs greatly in many cultures. And the use &/or beliefs in an "evil eye" extends from the early Romans, the Greeks, Israelites, Tibetian, Turkish, Iranian, Muslimand a dozen or more countries BUT not the Chinese. The closest the Chinese have is the twin door gods to protect the home or the use of various types of ba gua mirror(s). The evil eyehas more to do with beliefs and culture or astrology. China or Chinese culture does not use nor featureprominentlythe "evil eye". So you asked the wrong question in the wrong forum. As I said, earlier to each, their culture. In Singapore, we do also have a predominantly Indian community and be it Indianhindus or muslims seldom if any practice such things.

1. Really sorry to hear about it. (The constructions coincide withthe two of the worst sectors for this year 2010) 2. In the meantime, the best that can be done (crossing fingers) is to place "metal" between your home and the "offending" construction(s):- 2.1. Temporary purchase those aluminium foil and if windows or bay window areas at waist height face the construction then consider temporary placing aluminium foils. And for open areas (without damaging the fixtures) try to hang wind-chime to "counter" partially the issue(s). 3. As for shifting to another home:- 3.1 One major concern is hopefully the next apartment is a better one than this one else, it goes back to square one or a catch 22 senario 3.2 The decision to move (other than Feng Shui) is of course - any penalties assuming if it is a rented area - if any. 4. Feng Shui wise, it is good to take note of sectors to beware of for next year:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2011.htm Take note the following sectors for 2011 (next year):- Sickness Star this year is at South Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at East Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at North Education/Romance Star this year is at South-West Grand Duke this year is East, 90 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is West. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. 5. The last resort is to consider Para 2.1 and "sit out" until after the next 15 days of the coming Chinese New Year which is roughly 5 months time.

Frankly there are more important considerations in Feng Shui than the fittings in a home or office. For example, if one talks about strong metal; as glass or tempered glass and or bullet proof glass is equally as solid; it is also considered as a "metal element". And nowadays, many buildings / shop fronts even many condominiums e.g. in Singapore : The Quartz and Varsity Park have quite alot of such glass. So do we so actively say that these buildings have strong metal. Feng Shui is about the big picture and not how many brass door FITTINGs one has on a WOODEN door. If you want to talk about metal fittings; there are many buildings even in Singapore and the newly TOP landed property homes around Sembawang that not only has so brass fittings but literally, the doors are made of solid metal. And, all new generation Singapore Government flats have a household shelter aka bomb shelter. In Feng Shui, when we do a site review; we ain't gona count how many fantastic brass fittings in that home. These things are peanuts. This is not Feng Shui, but if one has brass fittings; of course, it is best to maintain it. But rust free? Frankly, this is the first time that I heard brass fittings can get rusty. Real quality brass may oxidise but not rust. Feng Shui is about the big picture and not about "peanuts". In some improvement courses: users are asked to THINK BIG, not think peanuts. For example, we don't go around counting how many brass toilet fittings in our home even if we have 10 toilets.

Frankly, if it was done, it WAS done (full-stop). Thus, if one was suppose to repaint a car red; but somewhere along the way the car was repainted black - tell me what should you do: 1. Since it has been painted black, just leave it be 2. If got tons of money then repaint the car RED (full-stop) Such things where got "alternative" remedies!

Will it be because of Dong Tupls advise

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Frankly, even amongst Geomancers; some have even considered artifical plants as acceptable. As symbolically, a pot of artifical "green" plant to some experienced Geomancers is equally acceptable. Here, symboilism plays a large part in Feng Shui. No need to have the "real deal". 2. Some geomancers argue that as plants are growing: thus they consider it "yang" or alive or with activity and not suitable for a "yin" or suppose to be "yin" = rest location such as a bedroom. 3. In general logically speaking wood element in nature consists of:- 3.1. Real wood. And as everyone knows; there are so many varieties and colours of wood: From maple wood, pine wood to teak wood, sandal wood, cherry wood, oak wood. And these wood alone has colour tones that range from light yellow (pine) slightly greyish (maple); teak wood is browish, cherry wood is browish-reddish and oak or walnut is dark brown colour. 3.2. It is natural that since wood colour ranges from light yellow to the colour of some earth or sand; some geomancers would classify this large range of brown or brownish colour as belonging instead to the "earth " element. 4. Because of this, some geomancers are divided in whether to classify "brown" as wood element or earth element depending on HOW they see it. For me, I would classify or fine tune it further as such:- 4.1. Wood element ? = Wood or wood tone or brown and 4.2. Wood element ? = also green colour 5. Frankly, since green colour is unique; and one of the primary colours; no one should get it's element wrong. Thus, GREEN or green plants should be considered as wood element. 6. Under the Flying Star Feng Shui, at sectors where there is especially (depending on the Water and Mountain star) interaction; if there is a bad wood #3 (lawsuits, scandals and conflicts) then many geomancers would advise their client to refrain from using GREEN colour.

These are some considerations:- 1. In the past, especially in the 1970's to 1980's where many geomancers practise using the following tools:- 1.1 Basic to Advanced Ba zi 1.2 Basic concepts to Advanced Five Elements concept 2. During those donkeys years (1970-1980's) and unfortunately, some still practice this kind of Feng Shui; 2.1 Such practitioners are too simplistic: thus if say one leaks wood element; then as what you had mentioned below; some of these geomancers would give advice such as what you had mentioned. 3. Today, many of us understand and read widely about things like Flying Star Feng Shui. In the flying star concept; just because one needs wood element; does not mean that the entire home needs "wood energy" or element. 4. Look at it from another way: 4.1 Even in the US, majority of homes were constructed with mostly wood: Wooden frame structure, wooden or plywood panels etc... 4.2 So that it mean that if one is say a Strong fire or strong wood person, should not live in a home with everything wood or the so called wood energy! 5. How about a home that is made of bricks or concrete or reinforced steel cum concrete? Does the same logic imply that if one is a strong earth person; living in a fully concrete home is bad due to the so called "earth (concrete) energy".

No major issue. In-fact, this proposed location; the study table is even further away than your actual Proposed Layout 3, if you can check back.
