Congratulations! Key collection soon! In addition the former 1 SIR camp will be torn down soon. After the new annex to the east of the army plot has been completed.

The facade of the Katong Catholic Book Pte Ltd ..these photos preserved for immortality. As they will be moving. And this untouched facade that is at least 60 years old or more will be gone forever.

Frankly, your questions till now dwell over the abstract. Where it is not easily quantifiable as it is not an exact science. Your many questions may seem easy, but the answers need lots of brain matter to extract out. LOL For example, one can even write many pages of subjective implications, yet, unfortunately, it may at the end of it…. not a fruitful endeavour. In fact, for such things, one should do their due diligence and avoid buying such a unit, since one may have been looking out for this. And not cry out for spilling the milk! And/or asking how serious it is. Go, later find out what is Habit number 12. Aka. “Head banger”. Under the 12 Habits, mentioned, below. One should instead focus/apply especially the Compass School of Feng Shui + Eight House. And if possible to improve or enhance the Feng Shui of the unit. Where it can be quantified. Find out the 12 Habits of Feng Shui. And try to apply especially eg. Habits 1, 2 and 3. Reference: The 12 Habits of Feng Shui

1. Using a quick "eye-ball" method, I would normally plot the centrepoint as follows:- 2. Thus the centre-of-gravity is closer to the wash basin. 3. Therefore, if one were to cut-out an outline of the layout plan and paste it on a cardboard outline and use a rudimentary nail to balance it; most likely, the tip of the nail should roughly be around the above red dot. 3.1 Here, this is considered the centre-of-gravity. 4. Sorry, your various questions needs homework. And... there is no homework in this forum.

Case Study 1: 1. The first thing that immediately came into my mind was several years standing at a (re-sale) unit in at Block 23, Thomson Grand (similar) to the photo overlooking the roof-line of the rear of Kiew Lee Tong Temple. 2. My client brought me to evaluate the Can or Cannot Buy of that unit. And no, it was not recommended for purchase. 3. Understand that this owner had a hard time trying to sell it. Case Study 2: A unit at 17 Kilat Court @ Lorong Kilat was for sale in 2018. 1. My client a dentist asked me to check out the above unit which although does not directly face Bukit Timah Tua Pek Kong Temple. His friend who is also a dentist wanted was considering buying a unit, here. 2. Both of them have already a preconceived concern of not wanting to buy a home anywhere near a temple. 3. They already have a strong stigma attached to it! Case Study 3: A temple beside HDB Melody Spring Yishun BTO

Master, u are so fast!

One can still place at number 1. However, preferred to "box" up the altar. Best not have an altar that does not have the side-walls. This is to prevent both cooking smells to altar. And more importantly = pure common sense. Where there might be a possibility of items brushing or toppling the altar. For example, accidentally clothes /clothes hanger or other items brushing the altar.

Let's all pray for the safety of people of Ukraine. And hope they prevail over evil-:)

Case Study: Is the Sales Brochure Useful? 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.

Indeed a permanent situation. The other is to either shift the tree or (don't want to sound cruel). make it "disappear?" as in moved to Putin's front door? LOL It's possible. However, do take note that if there is still an opening e.g. windows, there can still be a poison arrow aimed "through" it.

Currently, in the context of Flying Star Feng Shui, both "directions" are not particularly favorable when compared to the key collection in 2022. Good, Better, Best! Oops! NONE +++ The Rest! NW1 = Less lucky under Period 9. But also depends on layout.
