I believe there should be more businesses in this line of service. Unfortunately, most likely they are not as tech savvy as this company. Thus this could be the reason why earlier I also found this company/ link. The other approach is to check with the specific funeral parlour or local Chinese monastery on their recommendations.

Case Study 7: Traffic Sha Qi - Service Road and Block 32 stack #05 1. Where possible try to avoid ground floor unit of Block 32 unit #01-05 given that vehicles may turn into the service road into Forret condo. 2. If possible, try also not to get unit #01-04.

Case Study 6: Developer: "We are fine with the number 13 but not number forty-four (44)!" 1. Many years ago when SIA was established, looks like the airline was catering more to a western crowd.. where there is a tendency or higher inclination to the taboo that Number Thirteen (13) was inauspicious. 2. This is why still today, if one boards a plane: The First Class or Buiness Class, Seats 13A, 13B, 13C, 13D, 13E etc.. is missing:- https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/11518-is-there-a-row-13-in-this-singapore-airlines-plane/?tab=comments#comment-29370 3. Do you know that this developer did not skip number 14. Which is less obious than a 4 or 44. 4. If one were to scan the Sales Brochure site plan, Stack #44 is missing from this development! 4.1. It is a good thing! Good for Real Estate agents be it having to sell units with #44 and even more so if it is a #04-44. Good for the developer, as they are able to try to move or sell as many units to avoid being penalised if units are unsold e.g. in say 5 years etc... 4.2. Good also for the home owner when it is time for them to sell their units. 5. Unfortunately, for a select few who finds number forty-forty lucky for them, then too bad... go find such a number in other developments. LOL

I heard north East is spooky. Is it true ? Not every NE or SW house.. else.. This is because those spooky things are not like Singapore where we have a population of 5 plus million. Thus good thing is that there are not so many spooky ones to go around all NE homes LOL But more related to a home near to a temple of sorts https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/16763-hdb-melody-spring-yishun-bto-launched-in-august-2018-a-case-study-of-the-future-temple-next-to-melody-spring-devils-gate-backdoor-altar-an-issue/

Case Study 5: Potential poison arrow from sharp corner of stack #28 aimed towards #93. And avoid low floors of stack #85 1. One good thing about Forret is that there are few potential poison arrows affecting neighbourng block/stack. 2. Most distinct is that of stack #93 with a potential poison arrow aimed from sharp corner of stack #28. 2.1. Hopefully, if the sharp corner is aimed towards stack #93's wall or at least window frame. 3. For stack #85, only low floors especially ground floor unit #01-85.

Case Study 4: Shapes and Forms Feng Shui - Bottle-neck : Flow of Qi between Block 35 stack 28 and Block 40 Stack #93 1. There is a distinct narrowing between stacks #28 and #93 in Forret. 2. In windy conditions, best to avoid too strong a wind forced into stacks/units around this bottleneck in particular #28, #93 and especially master bedroom, bedroom 2/3 of stack #85 3. As it can result in both relationships and health issues for the residents in these stacks/units. 4. Try to consider these stacks/units as a last resort.

Case Study 3: An unusual or uncommon 2 Bedroom layout - BHS 1a where the kitchen / yard equipment is next to the Master Bedroom (MB) 1. Here, we do not often find a unit where the Master Bedroom is so close to the kitchen. 1.1. And also, where one of the MB wall is shared with a kitchen. 2. These are some considerations: 2.1. Sometimes a Feng Shui Master (FSM) my require their client to sleep with the bed-head sharing the same wall as the kitchen. 2.1.1. Especially if the FSM felt that somehow the bed-head facing towards the kitchen is best. Frankly, I would not recommend this even if the bed-head direction based on it is good. This is because the "Forms preceed the directions model". 2.1.2. Why so? Firstly, based on the layout of the master bedroom, it is best that the bed-head direction is as exactly shown in the Sales brochure, below:- 2.1.3. One reason is that, from the bed, one cannot see into the Master Toilet/WC. 2.1.4. Another is that in some Feng Shui books illustrate someone coming into the room and trying to "stab" those sleeping on the bed. Many Singaporean males have gone into the army. And it is preferred to have the bed as shown in the brochure. As one can see the bedroom door, from here. No blind spot. In army this is having good situational analysis and proper cover. 3. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, it is considered not good to sleep with one's head sharing the same wall as the stove. Fortunately, the stove is placed furthest away and most likely towards an edge.. depending on whether it is a queen 5 ft or king 6th bed..). 3.1. But there can be a situation where someone place a single bed. if so, the bed-head or parts of the body may share the same wall as the stove. 4. Common sense Feng Shui 4.1. If someone does heavy cooking sometimes... either they forgot to close the kitchen door or it becomes too stuffy that the kitchen door may be left slightly ajar... the heated cooking oil and fumes may permeate into the master bedroom. 4.2. Looking at the layout plan, there is a high possibility that in green is a partition wall and not a soild wall. 4.2.1. If so, when a washer and dryier is turned on, even if one closes the kitchen door; most likely the sound of the machine may spill over into the master bedroom. 4.2.2. Thus if the resident has a child or needs some rest etc... won't this disturb him/her or them? Okay... if bedroom 2 is not a study or office or another family member's bedroom... go rest there! 4.2.3. Washer/dryer often releases vapours and often it falls onto the kitchen top or minute particles get into the master bedroom. 4.2.4. Hopefully, the developer does not use non-waterproof dry wall. If so, in some unfortunate situtations, hope that the dry wall behind the washing machine does not get damp and thus allow mold (deadly ones) to multiply onto this wall. Can often be cancerous or unhealthy. 5. If one really wants to buy a unit with such a layout, I would insist that the developer confirm the type of wall used here. Better if it is reinforced concrete wall.

1. You wrote: "Also what is the cost of doing an optimal layout for a home incase we decided to build a home?" 2. Please note that House Hunting service is time consuming. The fees shown is: As it is.

1. Numbers such as 4, 44 or sometimes even numbers ending with a 44 may be deemed by some Chinese as inauspicious. 2. Frankly, this has nothing to do with Feng Shui or Numerology. 2.1. Even in the field of numerology, there are many or even hundreds of various numerology formulas: which result in either: auspicious or inauspicious meaning. 3. The significance of: "One man's meat is another person's poison" applies. 4. I know of some individuals who instead find 4 or 44 or 444 lucky. 4.1. But frankly, this sample is much smaller in the Chinese culture especially from the Cantonese dialect group and or their influence in other Chinese communities. 4.2. Thus more so especially in Hong Kong. 5. Even if one is neutral to such a number with 4 or 44 or sometimes even with a 3 + 4 + 4 = 344. 6. What this translate to is that in the future, if one decides to sell the unit, there may be some who don't like the number even if one is neutral to it. 7. Sometimes, this may even result in a potential buyer giving low-ball offers. 7.1. Thus the marketability of the unit may or may not be questionable in such a situation.

Question 3: With examples or Case Studies of how Can or Cannot Buy house is being reviewed:-

Question 2: This link has many examples of who sleeps where? For example, if one has the time, please read Case Study 4A:-

Glad you enjoyed the site:- Response to Question 1. Authentic Feng Shui is not just based on the Eight House concept which you have described. Far from it. 1.1 This link shows an overview of the many disciplines used to do a proper evaluation and recommendations:-

Wang De Fu Prawn Noodles at Shun Li Industrial Park Big $4/- with generous portions of prawns. Chilli not spicy could have been hotter. But filling.. or rather a comfort food. Most importantly, passed the test. Erh what test? No strong after taste of spices after the meal. As in many instances... garlic aroma still permeates in one’s mouth. Slightly sweet because I added an extra generous helping of chillies:- Took a snapshot of the customer in front of me collecting the soup based version:-

Case Study 2: Waste Collection at Forret using the Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS) [Case Study: A recent development is the use of the Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS) in some developments: ECs/condos and even some new HDB BTOs.] 1. In my opinion, Hong Leong /CDL seems to be an early adopter of this Pneumatic Waste Collection System in many of their new developments. 2. For example, when The Venue (a CDL project) had just T.O.P. 3. This signage was displayed at the common bin. There are like Twelve (12) cautionary: what not to:- 4. There was a cautionary sign with lots of Don'ts. 5. A while back at The Criterion also by CDL. This notice (User guide) was displayed at the common bin area:- 6. Hopefully, the residents may come to terms to avoid doing all these... 7. If managed properly, one can understand the savings in terms of maintenance costs (if any)... and good for the daily Cleaners. 8. Presently not all other Developers follow this lead. Thus with the manual system, although there are occasional issues; but less so. Case Study: Plight of residents of HDB Yuhua BTO which was installed also with the Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS). 9. As expected. It takes just one or two inconsiderate residents to make a mess of this system... 10. Imagine 4 years and more of tolerance. 11. Residents reported persistent odour and foul smell exuding from the centralised bin centre at Blk 223A of Jurong East Street 21 has been a persistent problem in Yuhua since the PWCS started. 12. According to a recent report from the Chinese evening newspaper Lianhe Wanbao, residents have been bearing with the smelly environment for the past four years. 13. Some residents also feedback of bulky items such as large soft toys, cardboards and mattresses, which choke up the pipe network. The cleaners will have to manually clear these items from the PWCS. 14. The success depends on the users of the PWCS. 15. There is no other choice for such estates. 16. Even if no stack/unit at Forett faces the bin centre. As a precautionary side, my suggestion is to get a unit as far away as possible to it. Especially units that are up or down wind of the bin centre facility.

Case Study 1: Lift and Refuse Chute Location 1. Kudos for this developer who is up-front with the location of each blocks Life and refuse chute location. 2. So far, other than HDB sales brochure and just one more site, no other developer has made an effort to be as transparent as this unless one requests confirmation from the Agent/developer:- 2.1. Caveat:- 2.2. The developer did state clearly that the refuse chute screening doors does not face any unit's entrance. But.. wait! I hope I am wrong, but it does seem that quite possible for a unit's entrance to be BESIDE this refuse chute door! 2.3. Before signing on the dotted line, try to obtain a much clearer picture of the block layout. I know of many clients did that e.g. Hillion etc.. 3. Is the Sales Brochure Useful and Topic 1A & B: Common Rubbish Bin:- 4. Thus there will not be any surprises during key collection. 5. As recently, some clients started discussing with me the Feng Shui of the Rivercove Residences and were crossing their fingers hoping that the rubbish bin(s) are not either beside their unit's main door or facing the main door...

Thanks to a kind gentleman, have just received a draft copy of the Sale Brochure. Thank you Sir! P.S. By far the developer’s Sales Brochure is to be commended for placing Many highly informative information eg. Block Bin locations. Also many thoughtful considerations like no unit main door faces a rubbish bin; or additional solar panels for afternoon sun facing units. And reducing the amount of dead space such as fewer passageways in some units etc... Congratulations to the developer. Your Sales Brochure has been awarded the most user friendly in 2020:- Forett e-brochure: Forett - Site & Floor Plan Brief_compressed.pdf There is another one thanks to another forum user which sent me the ERA Sales brief brochure. I am confident that it will remain so for the rest of 2020. In my opinion, although it is called Forett at Bukit Timah, this development is not even near to Upper Bukit Timah Road! All the same, honestly, it should instead be called Forett at Toh Tuck Road. LOL The only thing real here is that it is Freehold! Yipee! P.S. Had also gave an infamous award to this same developer, here:- Hope this type round their landscaping for Forett is up to par with many other condos. LOLL

Thank you very much Mr. Lee Appreciate your detailed answers. Best to you and your brother.

1. Quite sometime back (cannot remember the exact date. It was mentioned in one or more articles in this forum); where a HDB unit's windows was connected to the roof-top garden. 2. To the resident's horror, after staying there, their unit had termite infestations. As somehow the roof-top garden was infested with termites. 2.1. Due to the close proximity and a "land-bridge" between the roof-garden and their unit. 2.2. Here, most likely the termites were trying to venture overseas and found refuge into this poor victim's home. 3. Frankly, this alone is always on the back of my mind. 4. Furthermore, if the sky garden has both greenery and soil via landscaping, if the floor has defects or wear-and-tear of the waterproofing... I won't want to be staying below this garden. 4.1. Although based on the law, for a private condo or housing, it is the responsibility of the MCST to make good any waterproofing issues. But sometimes it is easily said then done. 4.2. Where is the house or unit in relation to a temple matters. For example, is the unit aligned at a NE or SW direction? Reference:- 4.3. All temples has a huge receptacle bin often at one of the corners of their property for their devotees to burn offerings. 4.4 Thus is no in such thing as demanding the temple to stop such a practise. Especially if one's home is unlucky to be within the down stream smoke of a temple. 5. In several past postings.. I mentioned that one location a home should never be close to is the Pathology department of a Hospital or the collection area of a deceased. 6. Not forgetting that if one is unsure of these issues. There will always be others who may also have such a concern. 7. Thus eventually if one were to one day sell such a home... may find it difficult to sell or get low-balled.

Hi Cecil, in your experience, have you come across any information about fighting fish ( 打架鱼） being bad for Feng Shui? When I was a kid, I’ve heard keeping fighting fish will result in husband and wife ( or father and mother for that matter) to fight?

Please refrain from posting duplicate posts with similar topic at one go..

These are some considerations: 1. Many times, everyone of us seems to assume that this and many other concerns are or belong to Feng Shui. 2. Frankly, it is far from it. 3. More to do with common sense. Why? 4. A unit main door facing a lift means that the home owner or residents often feel uncomfortable leaving their door open. As others can see into the unit. 5. Thus it boils down to the term Privacy concerns. 6. So tell me what has it got to do with Feng Shui? 7. It has more to do with Stigma + feeling uneasy and more to do with Human or Man Luck factors. 8. What is Human or Man Luck? 8.1. Man or Human Luck = Personal relationship with family and friends especially bonding and or personal feeling of good, happy or being stressed. 9. One often shifts the blame to Feng Shui if because of things like a family member wanting to or had a previous habit of leaving the main door open.. but no longer able to do so etc... 10. When it is time for sale of the unit; if you are concerned with this. Others may equally also have this same fear or concern. 11. Thus if later on one finds it difficult to sell the unit.. again.. go blame it on poor Feng Shui luck. Why this house so unlucky? 12. Do you know that 70 percent of the time, this and many other concerns has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui... 12.1. Imagine, I can even write a book on Common Sense... erh.. Feng Shui based on common sense....
