Dear Michelle, 1. It is very common for the type of development you had mentioned not to have a costly basement. In fact, majority of such apartments both in Telok Kurau and many locations in Singapore. 2. The major concern with having a car park right below any apartment unit are: 2.1 Although a fire breaking out i.e. a car on fire is rare, but should a car or van burst into flames, the logic is that fire rises upwards. 2.2 Some Feng Shui practitioners don't like homes that are not "grounded" on the ground.. Such homes are considered as sitting on "stilts" or not on firm ground. Thus for example, homes above a shopping complex or above a carpark to these Feng Shui practitioners is a major concern. 3. Thus, Para 2.2 has made some would be owners concerned with such units. 4. Since the apartment is on the fourth floor and not second, then, you can expect "some privacy" as the unit is higher. The advantage for such a unit (at higher floor) is often, "guaranteed" clear space at the frontage (main entrance area). This is acceptable as qi is best "collected" at such a "bright hall" area. 5. As you may be aware some units that face neighbours sidewalls are subjected to varying views or sometimes "ugly" views or if that site has been purchased to built apartments, there goes your privacy and "frontage". 6. Telok Kurau, has one of the highest concentration of temples around. So, do check out where these temples are in relation to the home. And also check for any pointed roofs aimed towards the windows of the apartment. Quote: Michelle Y. wrote: Hi Cecil, I would like to seek your advices on the fengshui of a freehold apartment. Presently I am looking at a particular unit in one of the project at Telok Kurau. This unit is on the 4th level, however this unit is facing the main entrance. And the parking is on the ground floor (there is no basement car park). As a result, the driveway is underneath theliving room and one of the bedroom. 1. Is it bad fengshui for the living room and the bedroom ? 2. Is it bad fengshui for an apartment to be facing the main entrance of the project at all ?

Dear Keith, 1. It is good that you do a SEARCH under this forum to find your subject matter. For example, use the SEARCH feature for #5 or Five yellow. 2. There are various combination of star numbers with or without #5. Thus #5 can be combined with either one or both or all of #2, #3, #7 and another #5. Each of these have somewhat slightly different significance. 3. About commercial products: In my opinion, many products that one has purchased usually lines the pocket of the seller. In ancient times, there are no such products. Thus many use "in the name of Feng Shui" to sell this and that product. In my opinion, products are modern invention, mostly toentice us to depart with our hard earned money. And frankly, many such products should be considered as interior decoration items than some special mystic help. 4. More importantly, buying such products are like some people who think that buying more and more is like pathing their home with gold. 5, BUT, look here: if our home is like a ship or a boat, and if it suffers from just a small leak, no point over loading the home (ship) with useless products.. and not realising that we need to fix the leak, first! 6. Thus all these products can gather dusts or even later thrown away.... are they of any use? Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Many of us are totally focused only on just our Kua or Gua (Eight House) Feng Shui. 2. But more importantly, the House "Gua" or Kua is more important factor. House Gua often is based both on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and Flying Star Feng Shui. 3. For personal Gua or Kua, do take note that between facing a good direction and spending time at a good sector, "spending time" prevails over facing a good direction. Although facing a good direction is "Nice-to-have" and not a must-have factor. 4. Lets go back to the start... if we can reverse time: "Finding a good home": Here, the "house gua" or simply Flying Star is used to look at the birth chart of the home. 5. And the question of how suitable a house is to us is often evaluated by us being an East or West group. And also some Feng Shui practitioners factor in Bedroom = good sector not, Toilet, store etc.. hopefully belong to our gua bad sectors would be best. 6. A short statement like yours or message (see below) is too general. Quote: Anonymous wrote: My bedroom and bathroom are in the career area. What can i do to improve my career? Kua is 2.

Dear Zahid Such a question is too general, please. Quote: Anonymous wrote: plz also suggest me something for my home what should i do to improve my wealth luck.

Yes, I have cleary stated that the FREE advise is for the next thirty days.

Sorry, can you clarify your message. For example, do you mean that your main door has say two panels. Some homes have 1 big door panel with a smaller side panel = 1 door and side panel. This panel is normally not opened all the time. If you have two equal doors, usually one door is not opened. If you have 1 big door panel with a smaller side panel, so long as the lamp post hits this smaller panel, (i.e. this smaller panel faces the lamp post directly) and your main door is "saved" from attack from the lamp post, then, this is fine or OK. As mentioned earlier, I had already listed most of the other common "cures" for the main door.

Dear Anon, 1. The entrance (or main entrance) is considered as very important. As in many instances ; many Feng Shui practitioners consider this as the "mouth" of the house. Thus since this is the "mouth" of the house, it should not leak qi as what you had mentioned .. i.e. a direct path of qi "leaking" out directly towards a window or door. 2. Another consideration is that especially for a landed property, it is very inauspicious to open the main door (or entrance door) and also immediately see the toilet bowl. Or a direct window or opening. 3. Many "acceptable" toilets have at least sharing a wall with the external wall. This is acceptable. Which means that in many cases, the toilet is not (usually) surrounded in the middle of the house. 4. Returning to your question; it also has to depend on how high the windows are: for example some windows are opaque and above head level - meant as more for ventilation. As mentioned, it also has to depend on factors like where is the toilet bowl, is the window in full view of the outside (clear glass) etc... 5. For example, in the recent TOP of Varsity Park at Clementi, several toilets above 2nd storey has clear glass and some are even visible from other units. 6. Your question has more to do with Commonsense approach to Feng Shui i.e. do you feel comfortable or uncomfortable or neutral to the toilet arrangement. 7. As long as the toilet shares an external wall, it is a plus point. And in general, opening the toilet door facing a window is acceptable in most cases. Warmest Regards, Cecil Quote: Hi, I understand it is inauspicious for an entrance door to directly face a window because chi has no time to circulate. However, is this also true for the bathroom? i.e. is it favourable for us to see the bathroom window when we open the bathroom door? If it is unfavourable, what could be done?

Dear Alex, Yes, from the picture, (and if this lamp post No. 9) is facing your main door (especially the main door) then this is a real threat - in addition to the signage i.e. both the lamp post and signage on it is a threat to your home. The possibilities are: 1. As you had mentioned, (not sure if it is possible) that the lamp post is moved away from the main door. If not, then:- 1.1 If there are other plants like those on the left of the picture i.e. the plant with white flowers - do cover especially the areas mentioned above. 1.2 Even if you slant the main door, it may still pose a threat: if you stand inside the main entrance looking out of it. 1.3 Other possibilities include: gates that do not have "holes" but with privacy panels (which still allows air to pass but once gate closed, cannot see the lamp post / signage -pointed side). 1.4 A wind chime strategically placed at the main entrance area or 1.5 A convex mirror above main door. 1.6 Lastly, (may not be possible, practical or may be costly is the main gate moved to the opposite side ... again...... have to see whether there is any threat here OR totally impractical ) To be honest these are the most common methods especially Para 1.1 to 1.5. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Amy, 1. The situation you face occurs 50 percent of the time.

Thus for every two homes, one home will have the same situation as yours. 3.

1. This layout is quite common. Usually, many owners erect a gypsum partition and take the opportunity to place their company logo and (for a business, a reception counter) and for e.g. retail outlet some window displays over this area. 2. As the picture shows that the staircase is quite a distance away from the main door, have such a "screen" as mentioned above, will be fine. Thus if one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat. Quote: The main door of my new shop is facing the staircase. What can I do so that it will not affect my business as I can't change the door location as this is rented from the owner.

1. Excluding one's Kua, Period 8, in general, NE1 & SW1 can enjoy sum-of-ten especially if the interior layout is squarish/rectangular shaped. For NE2/3 and/or SW2/3, can benefit from Parent String effect. Both homes should have as much open space if possible especially for the ground level : living/dining area. 2. Drainage out of the plot of a landed property is very important! For example, I have attached two samples:showing the degrees where drainage out of the home should best be located. Sample 1: NE1 Period 8 landed property. Note the specific degrees where drainage MUST exit the property. Sample 2: SW2 Period 8 landed property. Again, where the water or drainage exits the property is critical. 3. There are many other factors in addition to the above, when building a home.

1. South is the three killings sector thus avoid any renovations within this sector. 2. If this (South) or any other sectors have; for example flying star numbers like: MS#3 with WS#4 and Base #9, then it would be best to keep that sector "quiet". Thus if one's home and that sector has this then if we need to implement a cure, try not to use "noisy metal like wind chimes etc..." 3. Thus, it is fool-hardy to try to arrange the TV console area each year! Does not make any sense. Especially nowadays, many homes have a feature wall and some even have their TV sets "nailed" to the wall. 4. Thus, if we have fixed our TV sets or unmoveable console, it does not make sense to move it. Even if our TV consoles are moveable, since many years back, don't recall anyone making so much effort (trouble) to move it year by year to a new position.

Usually, or symbolically, a mole on one's back (of the body) may be considered as a "burden". But a mole on one's chest is very common. However, based on the concept: if it is not seen it is no longer a threat holds true! In the past, many people are concerned of moles especially at areas where it can be seen i.e. facial mole(s). In my opinion, it is highly unlikely that removing a mole on one's check can change one's life directly. However, one cannot discount one's mood i.e. if removing a mole gives the person perhaps some "uplift" or hope, and is not dangerous or leave some scars.. then no harm.. trying, thou.

1. For a landed property, the best location is the covered porch leading to the main door. 2. For apartments, if the corridor is a common corridor, then, you may consider hanging inside near the main door. Quote: Angelia T. wrote: About the 6 hollow metal rod chime; should I hang it at the frontage of the main door, facing the corridor or can I hang it inside the house near the main door?

Dear Spring, Traditional Chinese customs does not have a "Tai Sui" talisman i.e. they are not called Grand Duke nor Tai Sui talisman. However, there are some standard charms to be placed above doors (purpose? To ward off evil). The blessed charms are obtained usually from Taoist priests. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joselyn, 1. Can understand your concern. It is very common even locally in Singapore for families to move their stove to the back of the home. But do take note of the following situations: 1.1 If possible for married couples, avoid having two stoves i.e. one in the back yard area and other stove in the "dry kitchen". 1.2 If there are two stoves installed, try to make sure that all (burners) hobs or burners add together totals = even number. Thus if the backyard stove has say 3 (burners) hobs, then the dry kitchen should preferably have 3 hobs and the combined total no. of (burners) hobs = 6. 1.3 Those induction stoves are not counted or should not be counted. Thus, if you have a stove at the backyard, preferably, the stove should be a two or four burner type. And if you have a "flat" induction stove in the dry kitchen, this is not counted as a (burner - stove). As it does not "shoot" out flames. Quote: Joselyn C. wrote: 1) I am currently staying in a rented double storey house and caring for 2 toddles age 1 and 3. Ineed your advise as I wanted to move my stove to thebackyardfor the safety of the children, they always play with knobs on the stove it is very dangerous. The backyard is an enclosed area with polycarbonate skylite roofing, metal zinc fencing and cemented flooring. It is very spacious, 5' x 18', well lighted and airy and it is situated at the south sector of the house. Quote: Joselyn C. wrote: 2) Is the placement of refrigerator opposite the sink ok? 2. As both are considered "water element" because fridge can contain liquid (water) or is laden with water moisture it is perfectly normal to have the sink face the frige. 3. Traditionally, in Singapore, the advice for those who do up their new unfurnished kitchen to have the sink slightly higher than the stove e.g. by a few cm. But nowadays, with 2,000 or more condos, these usually come with standard kitchen fittings thus the stove and sink are on the same level. Thus, what I mentioned earlier is more for public housing flats - not compulsory, today. thou. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. Feng Shui is about location, location and location. 2. The above takes prime importance, first priority over the interior layout of the home. 3. Have come across several homes like yours with such staircases at the middle of the home. From landed property to penthouses in a condominium. 4. So far as Par 1 is favourable i.e. have good shapes and forms; frankly, one can still live with this problem! 5. Thus it is not the "end of the world" for you! If it is possible to screen the stairs from the main door; (it is one consideration). 6. Therefore, I believe, that your home can sustain, this. (Provided, there are no other major multiple "wealth leaks" in a home.) Warmest Regards, Cecil

Perhaps, it is best to clarify your statement. As Tai Sui or Grand Duke usually refers to the situation, where planet Jupiter has the greatest magnetic field and for this year, the Grand Duke (Tai Sui) is located at North sector). Thus, it would not be good to especially do renovations, at this sector. And other things. Thus Tai Sui / Grand Duke is not an object that you can purchase and place it in the home.

Based purely on Ba Zi interpretation, it would stillbe good for the person to be a "strong wood" person in order to benefit from a "metal" career. Warmest Regards, Cecil

So sorry I believe there are no books on the subject of x3 Roosters that I am aware of! Frankly, in my opinion, it is a coincidence of x3 Roosters and as you have mentioned, should not have an impact on your dad's "scam" issue. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Ken, Quote: Ken L. wrote: However in my four pillars, I have lots of water, in fact too much. Of course that makes me strong wood too but water becomes my unfavourable element. 1. In this case, you were derived as a strong wood person as the breakdown of your chart has lots of water. 2. As are a strong wood person, then your best colours are: 1. Fire (Red, pink or purple) 2. Metal (White, silver or gold). 2.1 Your wealth colour is Metal. Quote: Ken L. wrote: Someone else say never to have too much water effect in my home, including painting blue because I need to get rid some water in my life. 2.2 Thus, if you are the main breadwinner of the home, based on your ba zi element, you should if possible avoid too much "water" (blue) colour. And the above makes more sense. Quote: Ken L. wrote: So, someone told me to paint my house blue as first choice and a little green as second choice, because blue is water giving birth to wood house. 3. In your case, I assume that your home facing direction could be facing e.g. East. If so, this is a "wood" home. Many Feng Shui practitioners, use Flying Star Feng Shui in relation to one's ba zi when considering painting the home. Thus since you are a strong wood person, this is considered when repainting the interior of the home. And not paint the house blue and a little green as such. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear GY, Yes, it is nice-to-have (not must-have) a date to start work (repainting). And if the gate is changed nearly the same time, then, no need to choose another good day.

Dear Anon, 1. Usually, further investigations should be made to determine the type of "leak". Often, if your bedroom is too yin (dark) and in many instances where the storeroom is located at SW or has flying star #3 at that sector. 2. For the storeroom, if it is too yin (or dark), without proper investigations, you may consider "trial and error" by installing a light such those latest "philips led" bulds" that stay cool. And leave this light on for 12 hours (of course without distracting your sleep - ie glare. Warning: Using halogen, may not be suitable as it produces lots of heat especially for those whose home are of wood construction.
