Another 1st time open door non-religious. These are instead Chinese customs and practices... nothing to do with Feng Shui... No fixed layout.. for the display of fruits in the living room:-

1. Many Feng Shui Masters are simply a Feng Shui store in disguise. Often they call their store Lifestyle services. 6. Ask: "Must I buy from You?" 7. When the buying Stops, the selling Can!

In addition, if because of the irregular plot of land, the interior layout cannot be as rectangular a shape.. then... roughly.. below is a concern..

1. Seriously, (no offence) if one is only able to just look at homes with stigma(s) attached to it.. then... time to let go. 1.1 For example, why go for homes at T-junction, odd plots of land .... Where the architect has no choice but to fit a home in - for the developer? 2. Even if one is just wanting to learn a bit more about such homes; (majority of the time) common sense says that these homes should be a last resort. 2.1. If one can afford to buy a terrace house... these homes are also not necessarily cheaper than an ordinary one. Therefore if possible try to look elsewhere... 3. One thing is the irregular plot. What is more important is that of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and the FLOW OF QI. 3.1. [Above] Simply, wind flow of wind when it encounters such a odd plot will affect the health and wealth of the family members staying there. 3.2. Thus depending on wind conditions, roughly too strong a flow/uneven flow/bottle-necks (Red zone) can affect 3.1. More of this as the main consideration. While irregular plot is but a sub-set of this issue. 4. Furthermore, in Singapore, terrace homes or rather landed properties especially terrace homes (other than corner units) are small. The smaller and tightly packed demands to look closely into the Shapes and Forms the site, the plot etc... 5. Okay, okay. I get it. You just wanted to understand more....that's all. LOL

Dear Master Lee, Good Morning! I've been your silent fan of your forum as I find it interesting and gain some common sense along the way ?. Recently, I've purchased a unit at XXXX and would like to engage your service for a detailed analysis of my unit based on floor plan and how luck will be in Period 9. As TOP is still far, I'm not taking the comprehensive package, wonder if you could give me a quote please?

Visited on the 1st day of post Lock-down = Phase 2, 19 June 2020 How time flies... 6 years after... T.O.P.

Case Study: Always look at the traffic movement in the native country and it’s flow towards the house (if any) by a once in a million runaway vehicle. Alternatively, under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; a house at a T-junction is influenced by bad Qi - as the frontage is being “exposed” by an opening and the disturbance of vehicles “turbulence” passing around the home’s frontage. Traffic movement in a Right-Hand drive country like Singapore (part of the British Commonwealth):- Yes, the house No. 185 Springside Avenue is considered in-front of a T-junction: 1. Even if Springside Crescent heading towards Springside Avenue is a curve, imagine a run-away vehicle be it a car, truck etc.. follows the red path, (touch-wood) could plough towards the front wall of 185 Springside Avenue. 2. How about if this is in the US, China or Korea? (Left-hand drive) 2.1. If the drive is on a Left-hand drive country, it could be much worse. If so, the "impact" is at the main gate area. Given that an impact at the main gate (with mesh opening) is more vulnerable than slamming into a solid brick-wall. 3. Either way, (unfortunately) no running away that this house is truly at a T-junction. A consolation is that it is far better that we are in a Right-hand drive country for this house! 4. Too bad, this saying still applies: "A miss is as good as a mile!". Too-bad!

Question: For dinner table is it ok the get one that is extendable? Reply: Another is based on common sense. If the table has a split line, often food debris get trapped... if not cleaned, unhygenic.. As a single no split or "crack-line" table does not have this issue totally. One wipe and every surface of the table is cleaned 100%

Question: Hi master sorry is been quite a while. As my tenant is only able to move out on 16 Aug 2020 which I believe falls within the lunar 7th month? That's to say we cannot start the renovation? Reply: The idea of the 7th month is that if the house is empty ... some entity (or entities) may want to "live" there. Thus if the house is immediately vacant in the 7th month, again the idea is that these wondering ghosts may just drop by during 7th month. Thus, if they already "own" the house ... and if one were to start renovations.. when they are around... this is really bad. Alternatively, if by chance the day the tenants move-out; and the next day you take over.. can start renovations... Client: Okok but do I still to perform the customs of move in and renovation? Client: If yes I have to follow an auspicious date provided by u? Reply: Frankly, first time take over is 1st time open door procedure. Should not...do so during 7th month. Just do a symbolic start of renovations.. if the vacant home is just a day or two away from key collection. Yes, nice to choose an auspicious date - but if it is too far off from the start of renovations, then skip it More important is the move-in procedure.. The latest Handbook of Chinese Customs on 1st time open door, start of renovations and move-in can be found under this url: [url removed, here]

Ignore.. purchase from Homefix. As it went bust already...

Frankly, this is pretty obvious. How to even begin answering such a question?

Might want to consider this battery operated door bell at Queens Peak...

These are some considerations: 1. In general, in my opinion, it is still more beneficial to have more openings (such as those found at markings in red "A" and "B". Especially "B". (As legs should not face a window opening). But it can easily be redressed with a blind or drawn-down day curtains. 2. Thus in my opinion, the current bedroom is preferred. 3. If you want, you can still do the renovations as shown. 4. It is difficult to be more precise given that usually we normally plot the Flying Star numbers and look at it further:-

1. Frankly based on common sense, corners often has stagnant qi. 2. Your proposed layout is acceptable. No worries about the side-wall beam. As no matter how one sleeps, the is no possible way that your head will be below the beam: 2.1 By the time one place a bed-frame, the pillow case, the head is a distance from the beam. 2.2. Unless one claims that he/she sleeps this way:- Possible or not? Who does this? LOL

Phase 2?

And also Tam Posted 15 hours ago Dear Shifu, I'm considering Garden Vines project 5R Block 237A unit 388 because of unblock view. The unit main door and kitchen area expected afternoon West Sun. Seems like the staircase wall and building wall will help to reduce heat from direct sun. I would like to seek your professional advice. Thank you in advance.

Thks Cecil! Always prompt n helpful! U are so kind! Thks v much Thks, I will. Grateful to you ?

For specific breadwinners, #423 was ranked as a 8th choice....

Extract of Case Study 15B: Plight of residents of HDB Yuhua BTO which was installed also with the Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS). 1. As expected. It takes just one or two inconsiderate residents to make a mess of this system... 2. Imagine 4 years and more of tolerance.... Source and Credit as shown in the two snapshot:- Extracts from the above article: 3. Persistent odour 3.1. 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. 3.2. 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. 3.3. Some residents also revealed that some people throw bulky items such as large soft toys, cardboards and mattresses, which choke up the pipe network. 3.4. This worsens the foul smell in the area and the cleaners will have to manually take the items out. 3.5. The adoption of technology is laudable, but the success of this new system also depends on the users to be mindful of what they disposed of. Reference link:-

1. Previously ranked #429 as 6th choice. While #271 as a Last Resort. 2. I have preserved the Legends that go with these two stacks. 3. Please note that in this example, client had specially asked that their Can or Cannot Buy review be tailored to Period 9. As they are planning only to move-in on or during Period 9. (This is prior to the poor handling of COVID-19 in Singapore = construction industry.) Which means that it is possible for a slowdown- delay for this development. This plausible that key collection can be in Period 9.) 4. Actually, there is a THIRD Stigma for both the stacks/units that you are looking at. That of a long corridor. Reference: Under the above resource: Case Study 5: Potential Sha Qi from a "long corridor" towards a unit's main entrance door 5. Many first time buyers; often who had stayed in an afternoon sun home would seriously think about avoiding such a home in their next purchase. This would account also for why often I always add a Legend such as an "A" or "B" and rank these stacks/units lower. 6. If one checks one of the past postings, another existing HDB development which had a PWCS.. there were many complaints about the smells / stench...for the last four (4) years! 6.2. Thus #271 is along the wind-path even if it is not in sight of the PWCS. Good luck if this estate also has inconsiderate residents like that of an existing HDB Yuhua BTO. 6.3. See the next Thread which I had extracted this posting:- 6.4. Extract of Case Study 15B: Plight of residents of HDB Yuhua BTO which was installed also with the Pneumatic Waste Collection System (PWCS). 7. Personally, based on my own personal preference, I will always avoid staying in an afternoon sun home. What is worse is if there is a "forever" stench! 8. To me, afternoon sun house is like the deep blue sea. While the home that is near to a PWCS is like the devil. 9. Thus if no choice, would rather choose the deep blue sea than the devil.. LOL Unless both the devil and the deep blue sea also kena the stench... FAINT! 10. Frankly, if it’s me, I will steer clear of any HDB/EC/condo that has a PWCS. Why? It ain’t compulsory, yet. Given that unfortunately... our society is still not “up” there... No amount of warning notices can make a PWCS working well 24/7 364/5 days a year! 10.1. Imagine if this estate for the wrong reasons share the same issues with HDB Yuhua BTO. Even if one.’s unit is not directly affected by the stench... the bad publicity may translate to poor resale value or Low ball offers. (Maybe the close proximity of the MRT can help tilt this balance?)
