Beware of this symbol!

How nice, if we each house or apartment can be labelled clearly! For example, in a sales catalogue for a home for sale; we get to see all the various icons / symbols ... highlighting various aspects of a home... But, I will certainly, leave this home alone... if I ever get to see this icon!

1. This home enjoys exceptional luck! 2. As this home is sitting on a huge reserve of BLACK GOLD! 3. How do you know? Because this sign says so! STU-PIG!

1. A weak fire person should use more "wood" element e.g. green... 2. In the Aliens trilogy, the aliens have GREEN blood... 3. Nowadays, the green movement is strong....

1. Nowadays, many seek the advice of Geomancers before committing to a purchasing a home. 2. These are the smart people. 3. The not so smart? Purchased their home and then seek Feng Shui advice? 4. Like this illustration: He earthed himself before, turning on electrical appliances in his toilet.

Even if it is once in a million, sometimes we cannot prevent it.... For example, we can take all the precautions for our home at a "sharp-corner" or "T-junction" but one day.. if that reckless drunkard were to plow his car into our beloved home... how can we prevent him from doing so? Erh.. ban all alcohol sold to people with driving licence? Innocent citizens: "Suggest to the government: please ban all alcohol sold for consumption in Singapore. Like they did in US - during the 1930's?" Comptroller of Tax: "Don't be silly! Alcohol tax is `lucrative` to the government! If we take away alcohol tax, the first time they (government) will is to cut-my fat paycheck! or worse ... retrench me!" Erh Hemmm! OVER MY DEAD BODY!

Many say.. nothing is free! Wait! If you had bought a home that has openings (windows) facing the afternoon sun, don't you think that you will be getting free suntan? It's free rite? What wrong with free? Tell me?

So "strange!" Our homes are next to each other! Yet, my neighbour employed a Geomancer. And the Geomancer tweaked his home into a home with Quantum Leap in Feng Shui. I don't know what this Quantum Leap in Feng Shui? Some kind of Physics experiment? All I know is that my home enjoys ROTTEN luck!

I am trying to activate my mountain star!

1. There is no secret that many of us longed to have some greenery in our (lives) in our homes. 2. Many bring in several pots of plants and when they are too busy; the plants easily die. 3. There is no secret involved in keeping the plants in perpetual longevity! 4. I have always observed in my many walk-arounds of apartments; many homes keep potted plants. And many if not all medium sized to large sized pots have thriving plants.. while all or most small sized pots.. have whiltered plants. 5. Commonsense prevails that witha larger pot; occassional watering may be sufficient in order not to let the plants whilter. And if one is too busy some get away with just watering the plants on weekends.

Ordinary items can be used to activate mountain star #8. But... but.. but... how to activate the mountain star #8 with hay???

One of the best key success stories of a landed property are the birds, the bees and the trees - good landscaping. One cannot simply havea concrete jungle but rather, a good eco system of trees, bees, birds, butterflies, grasshoppers ........

Directly, trees not only provide shade but sustains an ecocosm of life of insects and other creatures especially birds. Landscaping in a condominium, landed property, surrounding greens and plants in common areas of government housing estates add to an overall better bigger picture of Macro Feng Shui. Singapore's 10 most common trees according to National Parks Board are as follow:- 1. Angsana 2. Sea Apple 3. Sea Almond 4. Trumpet Tree 5. Tembusu 6. Saga 7. Rain Tree 8. Yellow Flame 9. Senegal Mahogony 10. Broad-Leaf Mahogony

1. Apologies, the photos are not that clear. But I hope you can understand the concept, here. 2. For the Chinese, it is considered inauspicious to hang a row of three-pendant lights in a straight line. 3. This is especially so, if it can be seen immediately when one come into a home. 4. For example, often may condos have a short entrance and the dining table is in full view of it. Here, many Chinese avoid hanging a string of three-pendant lights. 5. Why is this so? The three-pendant light is symbolic of three joss-stickers that we (Chinese) pray - or give respect to the dead at a Chinese wake (funeral parlour). 6. No worries, if we do have a row of three-straight pendant lights; then, we can follow the examples under attachments: CASCADING-LIGHTS.JPG AND CASCADING-LIGHTS1.JPG 6.1. Here, we just either:- 6.1.1. Shorten slightly the wires holding the middle pendant light: refer to cascading-lights.jpg or 6.1.2. Stagger the wires of each of the three pendant lights: refer to cascading-lights1.jpg 6.2. In this way, we don't need to totally replace an existing three pendant lights. Note: Apologies again, the pictures may not be that clear. As there is some lights turned on-behind one of the pendand lights and the image is shaky... (courtesy of 1st gen Ipod 3G)

Asians are familiar with this plant. As it's essence is used to flavour Nonya cakes and used in many deserts and there is even a pandan cake. Some Singapore Taxi drivers and even Singaporeans place a bunch of this pandan plant in their car. To them, it is believed that cockroaches dislike this plant and thus is used as a natural method of getting rid of roaches in a home or car. To many from overseas, they may find this smell as pungent as smelling the local durian fruit. The family name of this plant is: Pandanaceae and it's common name is called fragrance pandan. This plant is relatively easy to grown in a home. And is also one of the all time favourites of households or Singapore flat "gardeners". Synonym: P. odorus, P. amaryllifolius Origin of this plant is: South East Asia.

Money Plant has to be one of Singapore citizen's all time favourites! As the leaves are broad and looks like a heart. It can be grown in a bowl of water and rocks (but becareful of mosquito eggs). When grown in a pot, it is a climber or vine. And it can climb walls. And can grow quite large especially if it is grown on the grown. However, if you were to utter these words "Hey! Why are you growing Devil's Ivy" No body would believe this other name. Money Plant belongs to the Araceae family. Origin: Solomon Islands.... If you do visit Solomon Islands... remember... $$$ plant comes from there

Bougainvillea garden plants are very hardy, and easy to grow. In the past, it is often grown at landed property compounds especially at "vulnerable" corner areas" where a would be robber could have climbed into the home thru such a corner. For example, corner landed property, make full use of the "feature" of this plant i.e. depending on it's species, it either has tough torns or several species with smaller - softer torns. However, it's branches requires regular maintenance e.g. every 2 to 3 months, best to trim it. In Singapore, the most pronounced area is the "emergency" run-way along the East Coast Highway (ECP) towards the airport. We can see many potted bougainvillea plants. And along the side of the road. This species has no less than 31 different varieties and two types of leaves. The flowers range from Singapore white to Chili Red; purple, yellow, scarlet etc...

Name: Dypsis lutescens This is a very popular plant in many homes both landed and high-rise. It likes sunlight: either direct or partial shade; moderate water and low maintenance. It's palm leaves renew slowly.. One of the easiest to maintain. Family name: Palme Origin: Madagascar Synonyms: Chrysalidocarpus baroni var. littorallis, C. glaucescens, C, lutescens

1. Recently, just a month ago, around 2am in the morning, most likely a drunkard drove a BMW 5 series into a canal. 2. Take a look at the attachments to this message. 3. The street directory map is as follows:- http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_18422/travel_site_1/ Lower down on the map, one can see Yio Chu Kang Road and Gerald Drive. Gerald Drive from Yio Chu Kang Road curves to the left and it is a straight stretch of road until you notice that the canal slants to NE direction. This is where the BMW drove straight thru and into the canal. (Note: Singapore is right-hand drive). Side-track... Although there is a pedestrain bridge, I feel that the protective railings is not adequate at this turning.. thus.. in my opinion, it is a major reason why the BWM "flew" down into the canal. If this the US; we hear of accidents caused by wrongful placement of say street-lamps. Where thru "no fault" of the US driver, the street-lamp has caused an accident. But in Singapore, you are "gulity" in most likely being drunk and flying the ride into the canal! Take alook at the photos. Sorry the resolution is poor. Have since updated my car cams to higher resolution.. but too lazy to remove the files for use so use some of the old resources... If there is a home where if you imagine the BMW 5 flew into... it is not a joke at 2am in the morning and most likely, family members are in the home: In the US, most likely the homes are made of wood. In Singapore, the EURNCAP 5 star BMW 5 would crumple and cause the death of the drive... as "our" homes are made of cement and concrete and bricks...

My comments are as follows:- 1. Ideally, a house at a T-junction, should not have openings be it a window, direclty looking towards, the gate - to the road. If so, this is considered very bad Feng Shui. 2. Wooden gate should e.g. have overlapping e.g. wooden panels - do note that it can still let "air" in but physically one cannot direclty see it. This year, I had posted a picture of a home that is at this "T-junction" and this home actually belongs to a doctor. 3. Some "T-junctions" or connecting roads to the T-junctions are "busy" to very-busy. While others are less busy.. Of course, least busiest are much better than busy or fast moving "roads". 4. Look at it this way, from a practical point of view; many one off accidents do occur at main roads and where roads suddenly take a turn. For example:- This link:- http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_1/travel_site_65404/ Many years back, Montessori for Children (please see attachment) next to the blue target; throughout the years, the bungalow there had seen many especially "drunk" drivers that plow thru towards the home. And if the openings are in a straight row, imagine if a fast car - could literally plow thru into the inner sanctum of the home... 5. Although this is not a "T-junction"; once a while we do get stories of car(s) plowing towards such a home. 5.1 This is why, today no one wants to stay in this former home : now Montessori for Children. As it is a school; it will not be affected by drunkards smashing into this "home" - as after office or school hours, no one is in this school. As drunkards only venture after 12pm or later.... 5.2 Thus in the above example, government has played a part in installing protective railings along Mountbatten road.. In the past, it was not that way. This example is about "reckless" endangerment of life - in a way.. some form of bad Feng Shui. The cure does not lie so much as to the direct sha qi but rather.. how do we avoid a drunkard.. plowing his/her ride direclty into a home. 7. Yes, in a way, some of these "T-junction" homes can have their bad Feng Shui REDUCED especially thru the facade of the building i.e. reposition of main door, fencing made of e.g. red bricks etc.... William L. wrote: If I am looking at a landed house that is directly looking outwards from the living to the gate to the road (ie, looking at a T-junction), can this bad fengshui be eliminated or is it just to reduce the very bad fengshui to just not-so-bad/ok (but not good) fengshui?

It should be based on the real direction one is facing. Please see attached illustration. Did you notice the work table? This person's best work directions are: South and East. (SE and North) are acceptable directions. Thususe a compass and check where is the north compass point. And then best to sit facing the good direction as shown in the example for an East group person. Anonymous wrote: I am bit confused on deciding on the best work position. Should I take my office as the entrance per Bagua or it has to be based on the real direction it is being faced?

My money, my building, my office, my home, my income! Oh, My, My, My, My.....

1. Just for info, if one is staying in a landed property; this "Vertical" Flying Star analysis report does not apply. 2. Simply fill in all the relevant fills - so long as all the fields are properly filled in i.e. the #xx - xx and select the Period, and click the button....

As I can only comment on the Flying Star: Period 7: NW3 = have relatively small luck as the current prosperity water star #8 is "trapped" in the middle of the home. Since no two homes are similar; it also greatly depends on the external Shapes and Forms Feng Shui - surroundings, the site, the plot of land and building. And even how rain water flows out of the home are equally critical. Thus, to be fair, your question is just like getting a blind person to lead another blind person. Frankly, some homes are better or even worse-off! I recalled, especially from 2002 onwards; many cases that involves stayed-in and checking on Feng Shui are those belonging especially to the North facing and NW facing homes / apartment. Apparently, as the Period 8, qi came into being.. these homes were greatly affected by timely stars = Flying Stars.

1. In every line of work, we have be extra tactful when it comes to human feelings or fears. 2. For example, a Geomancer should not tell his client: Hey! Tommorrow, you are gona "go down-under" or disappear from the face of this earth...
