Hi Master. My partner & I are considering buying a resale condo unit and have some questions that we hope you can help us with.
- Is it auspicious to buy a unit with water leakage from the ceiling (it is a top floor unit)? the agent shared that this happened 1 month ago and they are contacting the management to fix it.
- How auspicious is it for the main door to face the staircase with door, about 1.5m to 2m apart?
- Is it a concern if the owner of the unit has passed on a year ago (although the owner has not stayed in the property for many years but has been renting it out)?
- Is it possible to use feng shui to help to counter the above concerns?
- What are other things that we should look out for?
Thank you very much!
Is it favorable to purchase a unit that has water leakage from the ceiling (specifically, a top floor unit)? The agent indicated that this issue arose one month ago, and they are in communication with the management to address the repair.
According to the law, it is the obligation of the condominium to rectify any water leakages, regardless of the age of the development.
Several years ago, a client was also considering a top floor unit for acquisition. Upon entering the unit, we observed signs of leakage. The owner/occupant was somewhat reluctant to provide further details.
We ascended to the emergency stairwell and were able to view a water tank situated above the unit.
In my opinion, one potential problem could be that the water tank is affixed to the rooftop. It is likely that, due to daily expansion and contraction, the bolt(s) may have shifted. Even if the roof is tarred or waterproofed, it is plausible that wear and tear could lead to recurring leaks.
What is most concerning is that such leakages may cause damage to what lies beneath. For instance, parquet flooring could be compromised, or electrical appliances in that vicinity may be affected.
Once again, it is imperative that the Management Corporation Strata Title (MCST) undertakes the necessary repairs. While discussions are straightforward, the process may require time, and damage may have already occurred.

The Chinese belief is that two auspicious events that are close to each other represents a clash. Resulting to inauspicious luck or 冲喜.
Thus in the past people will try to avoid such events that are close to each other.
And 1 month between the two events is considered too close for comfort for some. How close or how many days under this is rather subjective. Some have a tendency to quote 100 days. (100 days has more to do with the later. See below.)
However, some liberal Chinese argue that they are more concerned if it is/was a traditional wedding date vs ROM. Or rather ROM is just a formality. Since most Chinese only recognise a traditional wedding.
Maybe you can check with a grandmother or mum. If they don’t have any issues or rather don’t have the faintest idea, then, it may make you feel at ease.
Touchwood! Frankly, Chinese taboos of either marrying within 100 days of a (demise) or 3 years later .. has a higher weight age then the above.
Personally, I feel that the younger generation of Chinese like yourself, can dispense with such “ ROM” traditions.

No choice, you may have to get a contractor to demolish the site.
If you are doing other renovations inside your home and employing a main contractor. Take this chance to ask the contractor to help you out.

Hi Master, May I understand the reason why you crossed out unit Type G, G2 and Ga. Thank you!
Would you believe that firstly this is not my hand writiing. Secondly it is most likely a previous client's attempt at finding a unit for themselves.
I believe you may have to ask that client.That client says: "I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you"
MAC, BTW, come find me in Russia. My name is PUT-IN. Yes, I am the butcher of Ukraine.

Hi Master Robert when can take down the red chye
Some hang it all year round. There is no fix date. The only time that it must be taken down is that it is badly faded or worn. But if still bright red and looks new, can leave it there and then

Master, good morning,
I have question regarding toilet facing.We now have 3 main door:
- west door for daughters
- southeast door for me & husband
- north door (current old door, will be used only for guests)And currently:
- daughter toilet is facing the southeast door
- our toilet, guest toilet
both are facing west doorWe have heard that toilet is forbidden facing main door.
Is that true, Master?
Yes, more a taboo, here. Thus yes -
Huat Kee Kway Chap $6/- (assorted intestines only) with two bowls of noodles. Very reasonable price.
Flavours just right. Not overpowering unlike some others.
Very good chilli sauce with a tinge of dried prawns. Not sour, compliments the intestines very well.
Killer chilli sauce! Excellent!
no smell, just perfect + fresh unlike from some other stalls where there were left to seat for a long time.

Master Lee, we greatly appreciate your speedy support despite your busy schedules. It enables us to to make purchase decisions fast for our new home. 感恩

How can this be considered fortunate? Hmm....
Regardless, it is mandated by law that all stairwell doors remain closed at all times. This requirement is in place to prevent smoke from entering the stairwell in the event of a fire, such as one occurring in a lower unit, thereby ensuring the safety of individuals using this emergency exit.
Failure to comply may result in fines for the development. Furthermore, the development is also obligated to ensure that the stairwell is free from clutter, including any items that residents may have stored or discarded there.
Last word should be clutter. Posted provided to me by Meta AI
