1. If they share the same wall but different level is OK. 2. Just check to make sure that especially: 2.1. The altar does not share a wall with a toilet. Do check that directly above the altar, there should not be a bed especially a women's bed. Steve L. wrote: Hi, I know it's not good for your bed head to share the same wall as your altar. But, what if the wall is separated by floor level? The altar is on first floor while the bed is on second floor... Thank You James

It is still possible. In addition try to choose an auspicious phonetic sounding timing e.g. 6.38 am or 6.39am - to fine tune further the range from 5 to 7am.

1. Usually it is best not to place a clock above an entrance of a passageway. Anonymous wrote: I have placed an electric round clock on top of the kitchen entrance 3. Frankly, this has more to do with commonsense. In the unlikely event that the clock should fall down; some say it can hit the head of someone walking out of the kitchen entrance. Or when a clock drops to the floor; shards of glass / splinters may be around and someone may get cut by such broken glass. Anonymous wrote: also the same kind of clock on top ofthe home office entrance (facing the home office). A friend came to my home and told me I should not do that, Ishould put the clock on the wall besides the door instead. Is that so? 4. The above is symbolicof sending oneself a clock.See below for a reason why Chinese don't like to "sentor give away" a clock:- Reference link:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=24147&new= 5. Clocks and bells are considered inauspicious to be given as a gift.

Frankly,Geomancy is a holistic approach and components like Feng Shui earth luck as a tool needs proper analysis, review and implementation. All these goes beyond the scope of what you are asking. Try to get support (or support group) in your country especially a listening ear. Good Luck!

1. It depends! 2. I was walking towards Neil Road, Singapore and took three close-to successive photos: 3. The first photo was at the traffic RED light (at the head of) Neil Road. Here, you can virtually see 5 empty taxis; circled in RED. 4. Next, I immediately took another photo: 2nd photo and there was another4 empty taxis behind these 5 taxis. 5. I immediately took another 3rd photo and amused at seeing another 7 empty taxis! 6. Wow! At certain locations and times of the day... what a hard luck for these taxi drivers. 7. A recent article in a Singapore newspaper said that unlike regular workers; these taxi drivers start work being in "debt". For example, they have to start work to pay off their rental fees and diesel fees before they can start earning some money! Gosh... what a way to live!

1. The road sign in one of the photos says : " Sixth Avenue". 2. This house is at the apex of a " Y " fork road. 3. To the right side of the main entrance door is a large open canal. Generally, this is not auspicious. See photo: Shapesnforms4.jpg 4. The home is an acute triangle shape. Hmm.... not the best of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui....

The Lipstick palm is very popular in many landed property homes in Singapore. Many plant this palm at the corner of their landed property. Firstly, Chinese feel that red symbolises luck; and this palm is very easy to grow.

1. Please note that the traditional method of matching career goes down to the lowest common denominator (L.C.M.) = Five Elements concept. 2. Even Chinese horoscopes and more specifally: DD/MM/YYYY can also be broken down into the Five Elements concept. 3. In general, the industry of LAW belongs to the Fire element:-http://www.geomancy.net/talknotes/talknotes.htm 4. Under the Five elements concept; we talk in terms of the productive cycle:Fire support earth:- 4.1 Thus, a career in LAW isconsidered suitable to aWEAK earth person. Acareer in LAW is also suitable to a WEAK fire person. 5. Under the Destructive cycle: a STRONG Water person can also benefit by being in a Fire career(Law). A STRONG Metal person can also benefit (power and authority) in a fire career.

Elephants are revered in Thailand. And considered a workhorse in India. Elephants symbolises great strength and astuteness (shrewdness). And an animal of high moral standards... Recently... we hear of a prominent golf legend....let's hope his home does not have this twin elephants on any of his home's porch pillars... as only those with high moral standards aka.. elephants should ever display them. Thus for those who is considered loose... please forget about placing these items!

An ingenious or marvellous design for channelling off excess rain water.... functional yet, beautiful!

More pictures... of the National Stadium (Bird Nest) and Swimming Pool (Bubble)

Beijing National Stadium & Beijing International Swimming Pool. These two sites are becoming equally popular tourist sites after the Forbidden City and the Lama Temple. Would you believe it took me less than 7 minutes to go round these two sites? You say... I must be kidding rite? Well, if you don't believe me, here is the proof!

These are some of the most beautiful, intricate artwork... that can be purchased in Beijing China...

This is a lovely blood-white jade carving of a dragon in gentle embrace with a phoenix...

A very vibrant, beautiful work of art: with the Dragon (male) and Phoenix (female) chasing a "dream" the pearl in the clouds... Ain't it lovely...

A more common version of the tripod and it is considered as one of the "14 precious things".

Bronze tripods were found as early as 2000BC. The three feet of the tripod is said to represent the three senior members of the Emperor's inner circle. This tripod is in the form of the legs of storks.

1. These are my reflections on the matter: once a person has been cremated, everything changes and becomes neutral. 2. For instance, when a person is buried, the Chinese believe it is very auspicious to bury them in a favorable location and facing a certain direction. It is believed that a good burial site and good Feng Shui can bring luck to future generations of the family. 3. Therefore, this is likely why most people advise against prematurely removing the coffin and cremating a loved one unless there is no other choice. 4. Historically, many burial sites were indeed very auspicious. Well-known auspicious burial sites include the current Orchard MRT grounds (facing the Tangs-Marriot hotel), Bishan park/area, and the Teochew burial grounds (formerly in Yishun). 5. Once a person is cremated, in my view, as I mentioned earlier, it becomes neutral and it no longer matters whether the urn is placed high or low. Some even scatter the ashes into the sea. 6. The selection of a higher niche or facing direction of the niche is more psychological than anything else. More importantly, family members and close relatives must all agree with it. For example, if the youngest son or daughter wants to cremate the father but other close relatives refuse, it's better not to do it. 7. The idea of "if it ain't broken, don't fix it" applies. For example, what happens if the body is in partial decay? In fact, to exhume a grave, experienced grave diggers have certain rituals to perform. For example, during the day, they would place a piece of canvas between "heaven and earth" when they need to expose the body. 8. Many niches nowadays can hold two or three urns, or if new, one can always buy niches several levels high or low or side-by-side.

It was a pity that especially during the cultural revolution years; many people, literally carve graffiti onto the individual bricks of the great wall. Some even use knifes and sharp objects to carve very deep markings on these bricks. Take a look at some of the sample photos... A real pity... fortunately, today... this is not allowed...

The Lama Temple or Yonghegong Lamasery: The Lamasery of Harmony and Peace was originally built by the order of Emperor Kangxi in 1694 and completed as a Lamasery in 1744, during the ninth year of Emperor Qianlong's reign. This temple has a 18 metre high statue of Maitreyathat made from a single piece of sandalwood. The following pictures shows a beautiful fruitingpersimmon tree in the grounds of the Lama Temple.

Singapore is famous for all sorts of fines: Speeding over street limit; Eating in MRT Trains; Spitting; Littering; Using handphone in a moving vehicle and lots more.... In China, it can be the traffic jams and worse-off; try crossing a road when the "GREEN PEDESTRIAN MAN" is on... total nightmare!

You may want to go thru this link especially the part about: How one can boost one's Human Luck. http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=26690 In essence: some of us may not have luck from heaven (ie. no favourable ba zi luck) and also no auspicious Feng Shui luck? How? Make an effort to lead a fruitful life: eg. filial piety to parents; provide a greater listening ear to family members and colleagues .....

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. the key success factor is to fine tune towards one's home or office Feng Shui. 2. Best to analyse each 20 Year Flying Star chart of any sector in relation to especially the yearly stars. Some even go as far as looking at the monthly stars: especially nothing "problem areas". 2.1 For example, if we already are concerned with a particular sector e.g. East where there are MS #5 with WS#9 with Base #5; then in that year, if the #5 fell into that sector and other nasty stars e.g. #5 or #2 or even fire #9 falls into that sector : which is a bedroom then take greater preventive measures. 1. Avoid / get rid of back stabber (xiao ren) Under Flying Star concept it is about disarming sectors with #3. And to note sectors with #4 As back stabbing is associated with such stars: #3 and/or #4. 2. Activate peach blossom luck (tao hua) Frankly, this depends on the 81 combinations of Mountain Star reacting with Water star. And some Flying Star charts do have this while others may not have this "Peach blossom luck". 3. Activate gui ren luck It is often associated with Pian Cai or the Mountain star(s): #8 for current prosperity; #9 for future prosperity and #1 for future future prosperity. 4. Activate wealth luck (zheng cai) Zhen Cai are based on Water Stars : #8 for current prosperity; #9 for future prosperity and #1 for future future prosperity. 5. Frankly, for success, it is always looking at the relationships of the 20 year flying star with that year's flying star numbers. 6. Again, all these comes down to the lowest common denominator: The Five Elements concept. 7. The link to next year's individual forecast is as follows:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2010.htm 8. Under the Holy trinity of luck:- 8.1. Feng Shui is about earth luck 8.2. Ba Zi is about heaven luck and some of us are pretty concerned about individual luck. 9. One way is to review one's Feng Shui; and not be too concerned about individual luck e.g. I am rabbit and to some... next year is "rabbit" me as I will be encountering the Tiger year 2010. 10. Another FREE key success factor to boost individual luck is to have good family bonding; form good relationships; filial piety for the young etc... As many find that they may not have Heaven luck nor too good a Feng Shui luck, but good family bonding etc.. helps to boost one's luck: Human Luck.

1. In my opinion, what you mentioned should be further fine tuned. 2. And the best approach is to relate to the Yearly Flying Star Feng Shui. One can even relate it to the monthly Flying Star - if one really wants to do so. 3. For example, in the attachment, #3 is located at the South and #4 is located at the North. Thus, especially homes that are facing South and sitting North or vice-versa for next year has to be more careful with quarrels, conflicts and even law suits. 3. As #3 = quarrels, conflics and scandals. #4 has also such effects. And again, often, the 20 Year Flying star is looked at with these stars to derive a proper cure. For other homes or apartments with such a facing direction, check where such stars land. Often, fire can be used to disarm these stars e.g. turn on an energy saving "red" lamp (Yang cure) or use red in that sector (yin cure). 4. Likewise, check where stars like #5 will be at SW sector, next year. Again this no rocket science, again check the 20 Year flying star with the year star and apply appropriate cure. 5. In addition, treat and review stars #2 (sickness at North East next year ) #7 (SE) theft and robber stars accordingly with the 20 year fly star of that sector. 6. #8 next year falls at the centrepoint and in general it would be wasted as a water star. Again the 20 Year Flying Star numbers should be evaluated with this #8. 7. Depending on West sector #1 may be able to be activated as this is the future prosperity star. Likewise with #9. 8. The key success is as mentioned : to review each sector's 20 Year Flying Star with the Year star. 9. Better still if one can obtain a chart (see attachment) : Yearly Flying Star analysis.pdf which even gives one the monthly flying star numbers.

This pair of semi-red jade pair of Lion statues are destined for the frontage of either a commercial building or business or even a tradional Chinese restaurant. As usual; to the right is the Male lion who is playing with a ball of silk. While to the left of the picture; the Female is caressing a small baby lion. All figurines placed at buidlings should if possible be smiling; prosperous looking... not under nurished...
