Case Study 9: Water Classics and water flow of Sungei Api Api 1. Stacks highlighted in yellow is greatly influenced by Sungei Api Api.

Case Study 8: Potential poison arrow(s) from the roof-line of Drop-Off-Point (DOP) 1. From other existing completed HDB developments, there is a potential poison arrow(s) usually towards #02-199 and #02-225. Note: This also depends on how elaborate the roof-line is. Sometimes in other HDB estates, the DOP is sloping. Thus please confirm this and not take it as a wholesale information.

Case Study 7: Sampling and Stack 227 - Potential Inauspicious Fire @ Heaven's Gate if kitchen and especially stove is located, here 1. Stack 227 looks like the kitchen and/or stove could be at NW. Reference:

Good Morning Master Lee, thanks for ur detailed explanation yesterday.

Master Cecil, Thank you very much for your great insight and advice!

Case Study 8: Some Stacks/units in Costa Grove is affected by the Water Classics Is the water flow direction auspicious or inauspicious?

These are some considerations: 1. Thanks for your concern on copyright issues + privacy. For education purposes, so long as your snapshot contains copyright markers e.g. "Google 2020" and used in an education setting, one is safe to use the information. 2. Furthermore, unless the user had specifically requested to be removed e.g. the US government's sensitive military camps etcs... everything else is fair-game. 2.1. However, if whoever writes politely for it to be removed, one should remove the photos, that's all. Otherwise, as mentioned above, this is educational. 3. Only thing is your last "zoomed" image does not have any copyright markers. Thus I have added a: "Source and Credit to Google 2020". 4. Frankly, I agree with what you had wrote. 5. Firstly, the concrete water tank is a solid structure and even if it may contain water, the test is that it does not look threatening. 6. In many countries, especially in Singapore, many private developments with 50 plus units do also built such water tank cum pump rooms. 6.1. Because these buildings look seemingly innocent, rectangular ... many are not aware that it is identical to the circular water tank mentioned here. 6.2. Only thing is that it may not be round and obvious or that large. 6.3. So long as it is not a sewerage container.. then no issue. 7. From a Feng Shui point of view, such a circular structure + it's low height can still circulate air. Much better than a solid wall. 8. The only thing that might ruin the "Feng Shui" is that not everyone will agree with you and me. As they may have a certain bias or "stigma" associated with it. 9. Thus, in a potential re-sale situation, let's hope that the potential buyer will not find it a concern. If so, it can affect the re-sale + re-sale value. 10. There is also situations where it may end up as a psychological mind-play. Where one's visitors e.g. relatives, friends: e.g. 4 out of 10 gave poor or inauspicious comments. 11. For some, hearing too many of such negative comments may instead - get into their head. And thus express their own doubts. If one is of this character, then do forget purchasing this home. Owner: "Master you said that it was Okay. In fact, you had penned it down so clearly!" Owner: "But nearly every of my visitor to my home commented negatively about it!" Owner: "Master, please explain why??" 12. If one is of this sort, then please forget about buying such a home! 13. Alternatively, some would say "Mind your own business!" M.Y.O.B!

Case Study 1A: Why has this experiment failed? First Impressions, Count! 1. When the Prices of the 1st completed DBSS = The Premiere @ Tampines, there were many who were concerned with the unattractive (costly) prices at this development! Case Study 1B: Unfavourable comments on the final DBSS = Pasir Ris One 1. When Pasir Ris One's Lease commenced or when residents collected keys, some were truly disappointed with the width of the common corridor. 2. Even if the width was within the minimum of the current guidelines of around 1.2 metres... this created unhappinest with the residents. 3. A distinctive feature of most of these DBSS was that majority came with a balcony. With City View's giving a generous balcony space. But - this is also added as part of the square foot area of the unit even if often it is not a liveable space. 4. Today, the government restricts the percentage of balcony/PES to unit ratio. LOL 5. Equally, I can still vividly remember visiting clients who had just collected their keys at The Premiere @ Tampines. And ever since then had at least visited each of the thirteen DBSS and up to the very last at Pasir Ris One. Wow! How time flies...

1. [Above] this is a plain “Jane “ mirror. But PLEASE NOTE: the mirror must be conVEX and not this example of a concave one! 2. [Below] other more elaborate ba Gua mirror, has instead the eight trigrams. More of a Dua role of frightening Chinese ghosts also:- 3. Often, such a mirror is placed above the front door.

These are some considerations: 1. Yes, indeed. It is a valid Sha Qi or poison arrow. 2. Please note that I extracted from the web some photo illustrations. And because the photos may be subjected to copyright, I did not remove the respective owners information. 2.1. Please also note that I do not know these websites or their owners. 2.2. Thus it is meant to illustrate my comments only. 3. A passive way to deal with such a poison arrow is to use "mirror" like reflective surfaces. Of course more the better. 3.1 But often a gate with some reflective materials be it polished stainless steel (not brushed or matt) may be considered. 3.2 Shiny acrylic sheets can also be used. But often, due to UV and wear and tear - not so hardy. 3.3 And or add more of these panels especially waist down as shown in the blue zone. 4. Traditional Feng Shui of course, could be the use of a simple conVEX mirror with or without the ba gua trigrams.

A. Singapore has only 13 DBSS developments in it's history. These are still considered as HDB flats. Just that they were developed by private developers & to some viewed with reservations as some have EC/condo type of prices. Another feature was that key collection is from these private developers. Not HDB. I was equally lucky to visit each and every one of the 13 DBSS in due part to being invited by clients for their Feng Shui during the various T.O.P. B. They provide a combined total of 8,649 housing units. L = Launch Date T = T.O.P. (HDB calls this Lease Commencement Date or Lease Start Date) 1. L2006 The Premiere @ Tampines T2009 - Condo type of balcony. 2. L2008 Park Central @ AMK T2011 - Like this site. 3. L2008 City View @ Boon Keng T2011 - One of the biggest balconies. Today, million dollar prices. 4. L2008 Natura Loft @ Bishan T2012 - Like this site. 5. L2009 Parc Lumiere @ Simei T2011 - "Straight line / Pencil Thin" 6. L2009 The Peak @ Toa Payoh T2012 - Thinking more of the activities surrounding Blocks 126, 127 & 128. LOL And yes, Front door opens directly to the kitchen/yard. 7. L2011 Adora Green @ Yishun T2013 - During launch a block directly facing Khoo Teck Puat Hospital was the most costly. LOL 8. L2011 Belvia @ Bedok T2014 - Fair. 9. L2011 Centrale 8 @ Tampines T2015 - Dense. 10. L2011 Trivelis @ Clementi T2015 - "Hilly." Still sticks with me... dark coloured external facade. 11. L2011 Lake Vista @ Yuan Ching @ Jurong West T2015 - Some units ... hmm.. had a few "spiritual encounters" 12. L2012 Parkland Residences @ Hougang T2014 - Nice views? Expect to face the afternoon sun-:( 13. L2012 Pasir Ris One @ Pasir Ris T2015 - Narrow corridors: be considerate when one leaves the grille gate open. LOL

Frankly, even in Feng Shui, one must conduct a triage, first. Under Habit One:

This stall took over recently. Automatically give black KL sauce type.. Noodles fairly well balanced. Fair.

Case Study 2: Is the location of the Water Tank position found on the Sales Brochure useful? 1. Recently a few Sales Brochures started to include the location of the Water Tank on the roof-top. 2. What's the concern? 2.1. Under the I-Ching water represents difficulty, thus it is recommended not to have a home with the water tank directly above it. 2.2. Even if the water tank is partially above a unit, this is consider less than ideal. 3. A few years ago, a client was house hunting around Hillview. 3.1. We went into a top floor unit of such a development. And could see traces of leak from the above. 3.2. Since what stands between this highest unit is the roof-top. 3.3. We went out to the emergency staircase well and saw a glimpse of the water tank directly above the unit. 3.4. What I suspected was that the water tank has to be bolted onto the roof-top. 3.4.1. I believe that due to the daily expansion and contraction, the bolt could have moved. 3.4.2. Thus perhaps, if the water-proofing is dry or not flexible, this frequent expansion and contraction may result in perhaps hairline cracks. Thus as a result, rainwater easily finds it's way into the unit. 3.4.3. Okay, you can say that such defects is the onus or responsibility of the condo management or MSCT. 3.4.4. Sometimes due to costs and time need to locate and fix the leaks, damage would already have been done. Especially if the leak falls into the parquet teak flooring. 3.4.5. Teak flooring often as a result of this turns black. And in some cases shrink.

Case Study 1: I was curious to know what was the initial VS on the site plan! 1. Recently, I was preparing a House Hunting (Can or Cannot Buy Review) for a client. 2. I realise that the unique initial VS. Which I understand is the Ventilation Shaft for the basement carpark. 2.1. For ventilation of basement carpark to avoid the danger of too much deadly carbon dioxide. 3. From observations of the Fourth Avenue Residences site plan, seems like these VS are around the perimeter of the development. 3.1. And not directly below a PES unit. 3.2. This was because in the past, had a client who previously collected their new home key. 3.3. To be disappointed whenever the windows of a bedroom was opened. This development had a basement carpark ventilation fan turned on at specific timing. The fan was making quite a din.

"As much as we see, Geomancy.net has great web presence built up over the years and is seen as one of the SG market leaders in residential house audit."

Case Study 4: Should I be concerned with the near-by Electrical Sub-Station (ESS)? 1. This is related to a Stigma. Given that so far there are no known issues with living close to an ESS. 2. Thus even if science shows that there are no adverse issues with such an ESS. 2.1. There are always some who have heard that it is inauspicious and thus already closed their minds to it. 2.2. More so, if in the future, a potential buyer has this "fears". Thus may or may not affect future re-sale value.

Case Study 3: Location of Common Bins and Common Bin Lobby 1. It is still preferred to consider a stack like #107 and various others in this development - IF POSSIBLE. 2. While stacks like #105 is not perfect, but at least further away from it.
