Landed property with three storeys (levels): "Master Lee can I double check the last time we talk at my house there u said cannot have bed above the stove right. Tats for the 2nd floor bedrooms right!!? Doesn’t affect the 3rd floor room right?" Yes correct

Hi Master Thank you for the review. Like to read the comical way you added to your every new launch review.

Case Study 3: Kudos to the planner on the design of the two entry/exits of this HDB Costa Grove 1. Good that none of the stacks/units are affected by Sha Qi especially from vehicles entering the service road:- 2. Many other planners of other estates should take note of this sterling example - subject to constrains for smaller sites.

Case Study 7: An Olympic sized pool really for HDB Parc Residences? 1. I heard a rumour that HDB Parc Residences will get a swimming pool as shown, here:- 2. Sorry, the above is FAKE news! 3. What I wanted to illustrate is that for higher floors that have a view of swimming pool... Sorry! I mean the MSCP roof garden, 4. This "wrap" around the MSCP car park garden is not a new concept. One of the earliest design concept was the Phase 1 where inner units also has similar wrap around the MSCP roof-garden. 5. The idea is that a water position simply means that nothing can be built above it. And if any unit faces such a "water position" will have clear-space or clear-view up to at least the pool or water position. 6. For units at HDB Parc Residences, common sense says that one should try to get higher than the MSCP roof-garden to enjoy such a view! 6.1. In addition, even if the unit is above the MSCP roof-line, there might be lamp posts on the roof-garden to cause a poison arrow! 6.1.1. Thus safest is perhaps a higher unit! 7. Okay, this is indeed the correct site plan. No real water position. But nevertheless this is called: VIRTUAL WATER position. =

Case Study 6: What a pity great views but direct afternoon sun 1. Personally, I dislike living in any afternoon sun home. Worse if it has direct afternoon sun. 2. Thus to me it is a great pity that stacks like #141, #143, #149 and #151 have great unblocked greenery view... 3. These stacks also have direct afternoon sun: #108, #110 #116 & #118:-

Case Study 5: Common bins / bin lobby are already in an optimal placement location 1. One test I always do to see if the common bins are at a reasonable optimal location is to draw a circle. 2. If the common bin can be enclosed nicely within the circle(s) - see below, this is traditional and "hard to fault" position. 3. Furthermore, usually no unit front door faces the bin lobby/bins. 3.1. Although, it is inevitable that often one unit could be close-by to the bin lobby.

Case Study 4: Any concern if I select a unit facing a traffic junction? 1. Stack #180 directly facing the traffic junction. 2. Stacks #178 and also #158 and #160 are generally also considered as facing a junction. 3. Stacks #107 and #109 also faces a cross junction. 4. Learn more about the concerns (if any), here:-

Case Study 3: Sha Qi from service road leading into the development's MSCP 1. Avoid low floors of stacks #104 and #106 especially #02-104 and #02-106:-

Rymden 77 is on a site that was once three separate bungalow homes. The developer somehow managed successfuly to negotiate with these three owners, who by the way were totally unrelated.

This plot is under the Government Lands Sales (GLS) program. Pending Approval for Sale.

1. In many cases, larger kitchens cannot accommodate a full or seamless backsplash mirror. If this is the case, ensure that the seams of the tempered glass backsplash mirror do not intersect with the stove and/or the sink. As depicted in the accompanying diagrams: -

Q: Can the main door open up to the shoe rack? And is the vinyl floor tiles horizontal right? Not ideal. But so long as the shoe cabinet's ventilation slots is not visible to give a trace that this is a shoe cabinet. Who's to know. And ideally, also, shoes at lower height. Not to the ceiling can be acceptable. Vinyl tiles yes horizontal with the door Q: Thanks...Also if i hack a wall and it is diagonal facing bed, is the edge consider sharp 杀气。 anyway to remedy it? Or is not So long as the edge is 1 metre away, which often is, then no issue.

Case Study 4: A Case of Front Loading Washing Machine clashing with the Stove 1. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, when the washing machine is working, it is a case of "water" (front loading with a glass porthole and fire (stove) clash, here.

Case Study 3: Can a unit's front door open towards a full wall (and cabinets installed)? Please go to Case Study 7A and 7B to read up on similar layouts to the above samples from RoyalGreen:-

Case Study 2: Can I rely on the RoyalGreen's Sales Brochure Site Map North compass marking? 1. This development's Flying Stars borders quite close to the fringe of either N1 or NE1 and S1 or SW1. 2. The protractor readings on the Site Plan shows this development's stacks/units either face N1 (20 degrees) or S1 (200 degrees). 3. However, the readings from streetdirectory map shows either 23 degrees = NE1 or 203 degrees or SW1. 4. Although onemap.sg's outline of the blocks are only available close to the T.O.P. of Royal Green, fortunately, this plot is rectangular and the blocks are aligned parallel to Lily Avenue and the green stretch. 4.1. Thus using the greenery outline as a guide, I managed to obtain 23 degrees or NE1 for stacks/units facing towards Bukit Timah Road. 5. Thus for now, I don't really trust the North marking on the Site plan. But rather that from both Streetdirectory.com and especially Onemap.sg as it uses gov.data survey map for their charts. 6. Of course, the only other way to confirm is to be the actual site when the blocks / stacks are built for a final confirmation. 7 Since expected T.O.P. is in December 2022, this development belongs to Period 8 Flying Star Feng Shui. Reference resource:- It can be an issue especially if the compass readings falls close to the fringe of N3 and NE1 as in this case (C) Geomancy.net 1996

Finally, formerly Sony Viao's new owners have started a new line of their "niche" PCs... Viao today:- https://sg.vaio.com/product/se14/overview

Case Study 1: How's the overall score for this site? 1. Location, location, location: 3.5 Stars1.1. Could have been higher if not for it's close proximity to Bukit Timah Road / Dunearn Road and a cluster of several shop houses at Sixth Avenue. 2. Site Plan: 4.5 Stars 1.1. Safe block layout design + low landed property site with low blocks.

Ouch!

Case Study 8: Stack #02 - Why need TWO air-con ledges? 1. There is a preference to have just a single air-con ledge for each unit under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 1.1. This is because, in many situations, firstly, the air-con compressors give off heated air-flow + vibrations. Not exactly healthly consideration under Feng Shui. 1.2. Secondly, take a look at many air-con ledges and one can find bird droppings and/or dusts/dirt within such air-con ledges especially at the Master Bedroom area. 2. For this unit, ideally, if one were to choose a location for an air-con ledge, it should be the one located beside Bath 1 / partial Bedroom 3. 3. The architect / planner should perhaps have redesigned the YELLOW layout of the air-con ledge to accomodate the necessary number of air-con compressor units. And do away with the one in BLUE at the Master Bedroom.

Case Study 7A: Should I be concerned if the Front Door opens towards a Blank Wall? 1. The most common concern told to some is that it is inauspicious to open the Front Door to be "greeted" by a WALL. 1.1. Here, some were told that "things will not be smooth for the occupants of the house". 1.2. While some Feng Shui Masters (FSMs) may even claim that Qi cannot properly meander "smoothly" into the house due also to this obstacle. 1.3. Good news is that most likely it is either hearsay stigmas by some and/or one finally meets a FSM whose mantra is "the Front Door, nothing but the Front door". These are the Conservative FSMs. (If unsure what I meant by Conservative FSMs, please read Case Study 2 with a link to: "The conservatives vs modernists." 2. A blessing in disguise with such a layout is that the Front Door does not open directly towards the balcony opening nor look into the internal organs of the kitchen. 3. In recent years, this type of layout plan has become popular in various condos spread across Singapore. For example: High Park Residences and The Clementi Canopy are just two of the most recent additions to this list. 4. Ideally, best to avoid a mirror or reflective or gloss cabinet at marking shown in RED "XXXXXXX" above. 4.1. First, is common sense. Where some may get a fright at times when opening the front door to be "confronted" with an image of (self). Or the symbolism of wealth flowing out of the front door. Case Study 7B: Stack #03 layout - Front Door opens towards a partial blank wall - Any concern? 5. Similar concern to some as mentioned under above Case Study 7A. 6. Frankly, in my opinion, really not a major issue - especially by modernists FSMs. 7. Majority occupants often "slam-shut" their front door when not in use. 7.1. Therefore, the argument by some FSMs also that Qi cannot properly flow smoothly into the house from the main door is not that valid anymore. 8. In addition, many FSMs look at these three areas to give a guide to their clients on how suitable the house is to the main breadwinner:- 8.1. What happens if both husband and wife earns roughly the same amount? 8.2. Under Feng Shui, (and Chinese tradition) one should still consider the male-head as the breadwinner. Unless he is a home-maker of the house. 8.3. Look at it this way, the offspring of theirs bears the male's Surname and not that of the wife. 8.4. Another way of looking at it is the male is still considered the head-of-the-house. And you might not agree with me, but the male head psychologically speaking needs "Face".
