Case Study 4: Flying Star Feng Shui of Tenet EC with limited facing directions Expected T.O.P. in 2026 100% under Period 9 Flying Star Feng Shui Predominantly either NE1, NE2 or SW1 or SW2 facing directions. NE1 & SW2 = Generally, NE1 less lucky as Less Lucky as the Double Auspicious current prosperity wealth Stars [#9] + [#9] at the Rear = Double Star Behind Formation - Requires the necessary near mountain and distant water to enhance this sector to active wealth. Wealth luck is wasted at the rear of the unit. For NE1, however, it enjoys the Sum of Ten Water Star = Here an individual sector's Base Star + Water Star adds up to Ten. Even if this sector has bad stars it can flip to become favourable sector. NE2 = Double Stars [#9] + [#9] in Front. Double Star in Front Formation - This formation should have near water and distant mountain to enhance this structure to activate wealth. NE2 also enjoys the Sum of Ten Mountain Star. Here an individual sector's Base Star + Moutain Star adds up to Ten. Even if this sector has bad stars it can flip to become favourable sector. SW1 = Double Stars [#9] + [#9] in Front. Double Star in Front Formation - This formation should have near water and distant mountain to enhance this structure to activate wealth. SW1 also enjoys the Sum of Ten Mountain Star. Here an individual sector's Base Star + Moutain Star adds up to Ten. Even if this sector has bad stars it can flip to become favourable sector. Please note that this does not take into account a. How suitable the unit is to the breadwinner and b. the Internal Layout arrangement. How do you Feng Shui your home? Use your front door? Who are the Conservatives & the Modernist? P.S. Why Piermont Grand EC Sales Brochure can mention a site of worship. Why Tenet EC cannot do so?

Case Study 3A: A picture paints a thousand words - Get It? Yes/No? Aiyoh! Why so noisy? Case Study 3B: Bellewaters EC at Anchorvale, Sengkang & Tampinese Expressway (TPE) 1. The Bellewaters EC has conveniently left out the Tampines Expressway (TPE)! 2. This year, a past client of Bellewaters EC wanted to upgrade to a bigger unit at Bellewaters EC. 3. She confessed that she was aiming to purchase a pool view unit at Block 11. This was because, she felt that like her unit and many others in the development, only block 11, and 13 are somewhat buffered by the traffic noise along the Tampines Expressway! 4. So here it goes, even Blocks 15, 17, 19, 21 and 23 are also not immune to the noisy traffic at TPE. Bellewater Executive Condo (EC) Site Plan Case Study 3C : The balcony and the two ledges of Master Bedroom and Bedroom 2 are double edged swords 1. The benefit is that especially for say Master Bedroom and Bedroom 2, one could still leave the windows slightly ajar an allow air-circulation into these rooms without having forced to close them in case of wind and rain entering these bedrooms. 2. From past experience, these over-hangs or ledges may help to magnify traffic noise especially from moving vehicles along e.g. the TPE. 3. Let's home that the developer is kind enough to install some sound proofing material on the roofs of the balcony to somewhat reduce such noise. This may help slightly but does not mean that units in this development is immune to traffic noise: +++ TOO LATE ALREADY "The noise make me feel very uncomfortable. They are cutting the tress So now we can hear the highway sound, traffic sound"

Case Study 2: Die, die must make sure I know where the common bin lobby / chutes are! Heng Ah! Architect personally came out to say....Phew! Don't know? Make sure you ask the Agent serving you to get it for you!

Case Study 1: Is the Tenet's Sales Brochure Useful for Feng Shui? Introduction: For brand new just launched developments, there is no physical site to visit the completed buildings and apartments. 1. The only thing we can do is to visit the show room (which often is close-by to the site) as well as obtain a sales brochure and see the mock-up of the development. As well as try to ask questions from the sales agent (if any). 1.1. We must still try to gather as much information as we can. 2. Summary of Case Studies in this article. If the information is overwhelming. Pick and choose selective articles... 1A & B: Common Rubbish Bin 2A & B: Interior unit Dry Walls 3: Fire at Heaven's Gate 4: Sha Qi or Poison Arrows from Club-house roof-lines 5: 3 Panel Sliding Doors at the Balcony 6: Drainage at the Balcony 7: Air-con Ledges 8: Mixed Developments + Cooling Towers 9: Termite infestations 10: Coffee-shop below or near to unit 11: Water tank at roof-top 12: Lamp Posts, Pillars, Tree Trunks 13: Spice Garden in an EC/condo 14: EC/condo Clubhouse 15A & B: Pneumatic Waste Collection System 16: Look closely at the development's scale model for clues 17: Buying a Mixed development apartment 18: Survey or study facilities surrounding the development 19: Pump Room below a unit 20: Seven Commandments of Stove Placement 21: Is there a potential poison arrow from the neighbours? 22: Should I be concerned with a near-by temple, church, mosque &/or elder care? 23: Is the compass marking on the Sales Brochure accurate? 24: Sites reserved for Schools? 25: Doors face each other? [Main Door/Bedrooms] 26: Unit numbers with 4, 44 or 444 Okay? 27: Stove or sink or WC at the Centre of the house? Click Here:

Okay, pardon me, this does not seem like Flagged of United Nations. Same place but..Hmmm

Answers simply don't drop down from the Sky! The Science of Feng Shui not some Mambo Jumbo of guesswork! Two Feng Shui Concepts used to determine the location of the staircase: Eight House or Eight Mansions with Flying Star Feng Shui

Feng Shui is not some random exercise of "I am curious to know from this group of plans, which numbered examples would be considered cases of situating the stairs at the center of the house?" Frankly no point preparing all the permuations - if one knows where to look... LOL Like this might as well flip a coin or play Bingo.

The Science of Feng Shui In this real life example, the staircase of this penthouse so happens to be at NORTH cardinal point. And, so happens that it suits the Flying Star Feng Shui Chart. The above chart is for a West 1 (255 degrees home). This is the entire real life chart in full colour In addition, each of these consists of not only 24 chart types but also a Period e.g. 1964 to 1983 or 1984 to 2003 or 2004 to 2023 and 2024 onwards till 2043.

Front door is Feng Shui Ruler diamension friendly! Smaller than usual front doors: width is 35” = an auspicious number! The older HDB flats of the 1970’s door widths are often 32 inches and the total frame comes to 35 inches! Nowadays often based on metric like 1 metre sizes. Samsung says, thanks for choosing this traditional handle digital lock. I am sure you will enjoy many years of fuss free usage! No premature wear and time from those push-pull rubber coated ones! Huat Ah! Previously another development uses a generic code for 1st time opening: CODE 1234. Okay for this development. The code also has 4 digits. There are 1's and ___ will not reveal the other digit.. LOL

I am seat at the Food Centre staring at the Singtel transmitter… No wonder, getting max 4 bars!

More Fortunately the bins are beside the lifts…

In November 2022, Just T.O.P.

$3/-. Very bland and liquid. Not nice.

This Hakka Delicacies Stsll has been around for as long as this market cum food court has existed. Known as Mei Zhen Hakka Delicacies. Most well known is their Hakka Abacus Yam ball & Yam cake. The rest like the porridge is of Hakka style. Other items sold are unfortunately, common to all other Chinese dialect groups. Perhaps slight differences in the Chee Cheong Fun of say the Cantonese or local style ones. $5/- consisting of 1/2 yam cake + 1/2 chee cheong fun:

Sorry, I tried.. but failed to know is your question.

Yes, this palm tree is considered as s Poison Arrow. As it slices towards the middle of the unit's balcony.

What is the Holy Trinity of Chinese Luck System? For some, home Feng Shui luck is FAIR or so so. However, because they have favourable good Human or Man Luck, this often transends or help in their overall luck. But if one is staying in a home, and either feel unease or unsettled, e.g. looking towards, say a hospital, then this can decrease one's Human or Man Luck! Also, some hear comments from friends or relatives that it is considered "unlucky" to look at a Hosptial, here one may even feel more unsettled.

1. In my opinion, buffered by houses No. 80 and 82 and also H Residences. 2. However, even if I say is Okay, but there are so many opinions. Or that if you are okay.. but you may get visitors who may say "bad things" about having a view towards the hospital. 3. Under the Holy Trinity of Chinese Luck system: Heaven Luck via Ba Zi = 33.33 Earth Luck via Feng Shui = 33.33 Human or Man Luck via feelings = 33.33 Total =100 percent. 4. If one is in doubt or concerned or unsettled with looking at the hospital and feeling uncomfortable, This can affect one's Human or Man Luck of 33.33 percent. 5. Thus even if Feng Shui is good but Human or Man luck drops low or a low score, then this is also not good. 6. Furthermore, when time for re-sale, if you are concerned today, there will always be potential buyers who are equally concerned. And some like to low ball or press for a cheaper price. 7. Frankly, if one has such doubts, do perhaps think twice or thrice before the purchase. \ P.S. Previously at HDB Adora Green at Yishun, a Block/stack facing the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital was the most expensive. However, the distance between the Hospital and Adora Green is a pretty distance away.

This could mean that a combination of the two vaccine types may offer better protection against the coronavirus, researchers said, noting each had its own advantages. The study by the Duke-NUS Medical School found that inactivated virus vaccines such as Sinopharm and Sinovac, which were used extensively in Asia, and mRNA vaccines – which include Pfizer-BioNTech’s Comirnaty and Moderna’s Spikevax – trigger different T-cell responses in fighting the coronavirus. Inactivated vaccines - an older technology used in the polio and influenza vaccines, among others - are made up of dead viruses, unlike mRNA vaccines, which use just parts of the virus’ genetic material to stimulate an immune response. While mRNA vaccines induce T-cells – a type of white blood cell – targeting the spike protein of the coronavirus, inactivated vaccines elicit a broader immune response against different proteins on the virus. This means that while inactivated vaccines might not be as good at preventing Covid-19 infection, they can play a role in preventing the development of severe disease, said the study’s senior co-author Anthony Tanoto Tan, a senior research fellow with the Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases programme. Earlier studies had shown that mRNA vaccines help patients produce a far greater number of antibodies, compared with their inactivated virus counterparts. However, newer variants have proved to be more adept at evading the antibody response, Dr Tan said. “This means that maybe we should stop thinking about preventing infection, and we should start thinking about (how) vaccines (can prevent) severe disease,” he said. The research team compared the T-cell immune response in about 500 blood samples from more than 130 people who received inactivated Sars-CoV-2 and spike mRNA vaccines. The study, which was published in medical journal Cell Reports Medicine in October, found that mRNA vaccines can induce T-cells targeting SARS-CoV-2’s spike protein, which contains numerous mutations in the Omicron variant. However, inactivated vaccines stimulated a broad T-cell response not only against the virus’ spike protein but also the membrane and nucleoprotein, which have much fewer mutations in the Omicron variant. Unlike the mRNA vaccines, the inactivated vaccines did not seem to generate cytotoxic CD8 cells – T-cells known for their ability to kill virus-infected cells. Instead, they mainly stimulated a type of T-cell called CD4, or “helper” T-cells. When these helper cells recognise a viral antigen, they release cytokines – chemicals that help activate other types of immune cells. The broader response provided by inactivated vaccines, in generating T-cell responses towards other viral proteins, could be beneficial, said the study’s senior author, Professor Antonio Bertoletti, from Duke-NUS’ Emerging Infectious Diseases programme. Larger studies are needed to clarify the impact of these T-cells’ responses to better design vaccines for controlling severe Covid-19, he said. This does not mean that inactivated vaccines are superior to mRNA or other vaccine technologies, Dr Tan told The Straits Times. The question of which of the different vaccines – all of which were developed after a significant amount of research – is “better” is not straightforward, he said. “They all have their advantages.” However, a different vaccination strategy may be required, Dr Tan said, suggesting that one possible approach could be that a person gets the primary series of vaccination with an mRNA vaccine and subsequently get a booster using an inactivated virus alternative to get the best of both worlds. ST reported in October 2021 that private clinics here were seeing significant demand for Sinopharm and Sinovac boosters among patients who had previously taken mRNA jabs, which was attributed to a fear of side effects. Experts, however, noted at the time that inactivated vaccines had not yet been proven to have a better response as boosters, compared with other vaccines. The study adds important insight to our understanding of immunity against the coronavirus, said Dr Leong Hoe Nam, an infectious diseases expert at Mount Elizabeth Novena Specialist Centre. However, it may not be beneficial for patients to take an inactivated vaccine as a booster, after taking an mRNA vaccine during their primary series, he said. This is because the strong immune response conferred by an mRNA vaccine may negate any advantages from the inactivated vaccine, said Dr Leong, adding that there are no studies regarding the benefits of taking the vaccines in such an order. The Duke-NUS research team called for further research with more participants, to better compare the ability of the cell response induced by inactivated virus vaccines with that of the mRNA vaccines in reducing the severity of Covid-19 infection.
