A Book on Common Sense Feng Shui by Master Cecil Lee

Thank you for your reassurance that this is just common sense and nothing to do with Fengshui! It started with something I read somewhere else and it rattled me but I’m now certain that this isn’t an issue at all  It is definitely right to say not everything is linked to Fengshui and not all the content on Fengshui provided on the internet is anything more than the fluffing up of logical explanations for things. Thank you once again for the clarification.

Imagine, 70% of non-theory related Feng Shui is pure common sense...such that I can even write a full book on this.. LOL!

Please remember this: “For every finger pointed at Feng Shui, three more fingers are pointed to Pure Common Sense!”. I know! I have been actively relating many situations to Common Sense since 1996 under this Feng Shui forum. LOL! And Yes! I will continue to prove this based on pure common sense.

You have been so helpful to our family

Saw their recent ad.. says launching soon.. ...hmm...

How is it that everyone seems to think everthing is related to Feng Shui? Shouldn't it be the other way around?

Know this:

1. The third element you mentioned that of the toilet door, equally also has more to do with common sense. 2. Why common sense? 2.1. A and B often have a blind spot if they were to rush out of either of the toilet and/or the bedroom (B). 2.2. To prevent an "accidental" clash even if it is once in 20 years, one should prevent this. 3. Frankly, many Feng Shui concepts are based on pure common sense. Yet, everyone seems to think that it is Feng Shui. 4. Yes, do blame it on Feng Shui once the two persons clash e.g. A and B. and get bruised or hurt. “This house has bad Feng Shui... Oh really? Or due to poor design??” Extract from "A Book on Common Sense, By Master Cecil Lee" 4.1. There is another plausible concern: hygiene. If the WC faces the toilet door. For example, if the WC lid is at a close position. 4.2. Whenever it is flushed, water would rush into the WC and air together with germs will be forced out from it’s GAP. And the bedroom 2 door may most likely be sprayed with germs. Not that healthy right? So is this another Feng Shui thing? Or pure common sense? 5. In fact, there are still some Office clients who showed me a similar senario. What is worse is that B is into a large conference room. And just imagine, negotiating / loitering around that area. Kid 1: "Mama, I want helmet" Mum: "Dear, What's wrong?" Kid 1: "Both of us always bang into each other" Kid 2: "Go ask that Feng Shui Guy. lah! He has a good explanation." Kid 2: "The FS Guy further says this falls under Habit 10: You Stay There! And to find and hang the architect who design such a layout plan"...

Frankly, two doors facing each other has been covered under this link:- Extract from one of the above threads: This is based on pure common sense. More likely if one frequently sees someone else on the opposite side. Hopefully, it is not like the western cowboy days of : "High noon!". LOL

Period 8 Flying Star Feng Shui. Either N1 or S1 facing stacks/units:

These are some considerations: 1. One positive aspect of this layout is that it resembles a bungalow house elevated in the sky. 2. While it may not conform to the traditional rectangular shape of a bungalow, one benefit is the presence of multiple openings, especially when compared to a standard condominium unit or even a terrace house. 3. This is the primary advantage. Otherwise, it can present a risky layout as indicated in Paragraph 7 (See below) onwards. 4. Indeed, I can observe a sub-machine gun complete with a trigger, shoulder butt, and nozzle. 5. Some traditional Teochew-style homes feature an open courtyard akin to the example you provided. Therefore, this design has been implemented before, albeit on the ground floor. Reference: House of Tan Yeok Nee, a Teochew (Chaozhou style) house:- https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/17271-part-1-of-4-house-of-tan-yeok-nee-built-in-1882-85-traditional-chaozhou-style/?tab=comments#comment-38628 Note: The above link contains four parts. Part 1 does not display the courtyard. 5.1. One may choose to utilize the center point of this unit, even if it is "hollow," or alternatively, employ two Flying Star pie charts. 6. Numerous luxurious condominiums in Singapore also feature uniquely shaped designs. This represents another unconventional layout design:- 7. Coming back to such a layout plan. 7.1. Why is it that rectangular or squarish unit is preferred? 8. For example, if there are three good sectors in a rectangular or squarish home, the good qi can still FLOW or SPILL over to the rest of the not so favourable sectors. 8.1. In fact majority of the three Good sectors fall into void areas = MISSING CORNERS. 8.2. And so happens sectors B, C, E E and H have bad Flying Star numbers. This is going to be inauspicous based on Flying Star Feng Shui. 9. Imagine (See Below) if there are three good sectors within this not rectangular/squarish home. 9.1. Take a look below. Although this is a rough guide; a rectangular home can have good qi flowing in the house and not stuck at a sector or void. 9.2. In fact, if there are more good sectors, the better! 10. Further to what I mentioned, a more squarish home is preferred. Even a narrow rectangular home shares the same disadvantage of your sample layout plan. 10.1. Based on your sample layout plan, one will notice that all the Good sectors "happen" to be in VOID areas (MISSING CORNERS). If so, like this illustration, below; Good qi can never meander into the rest of the home:- 11. As a sector which has good qi can then circulate and enhance the house. 12. It follows the same concept as an office... illustration, below:-

Showroom along Still Road Is it because this is at the edge of Katong also? LOL

Under Flying Star Feng Shui; under certain circumstances, best to avoid too many "greens" at a specific location: Extract of Case Study 25: Avoid too many plants at the living room balcony Legend: A = Balcony at SE has inauspicious Flying Star "bad wood" elements which represents Conflicts and Quarrels. Client insists on some plants. Told to avoid too many plants, there. B = This review was done in 2015. Client was also told the signficance of the current double aupicious #8's will expire from 2024 onwards. But for the moment, client wanted a water position. So asked where to place at marking C (see below). C = Client wanted to place a fountain. Marked the location for her. X and Y = Avoid opening the panel at location marked as Y. Since not practical for a partition. Source:

Case Study: A Good Feng Shui Friendly design of a HDB layout plan This is an older generation of HDB flat where there is no straight path between an opening to the other side. As shown in light blue.

1. A typical Period 7 HDB 4 Bedroom home layout. 2. Where the main door opens towards a bedroom opening and towards a window opening. 3. Some clients, simply change the bedroom door to the other side. 4. Often, the bedroom window panel is not opened or the main door is not always opened is another possible solution. (Or bedroom door closed).

A first for me...Honey glazed grilled watermelon

1. In general, currently, without looking at the Flying Star numbers (FSN), if one wants to place a semi-circular mat; the colour is grey. (It is not recommended to use other colours as mentioned earlier . i..e. via FSN. >>ii. If no, what other remedies aside from placing mirrrors above the door? Does placing Pomegranate plants in front of the door help? The ancient Chinese have a saying, “First Destiny, Second Luck and Third Feng Shui”. They believe that our journey through life is influenced primarily by our destiny potential and luck cycles. Para 1 has more to do with Feng Shui. But nothing beats the traditional "ba gua" war: conVEX with conCAVE mirror. What you are dwelling in has more to do with the second: Luck. Specifically Human/Man Luck. Thus the concern with someone "threatening" us such as placing the ba gua mirror, and the "fright of seeing a TRIANGLE" lowers one's human or man luck. Therefore, it is human nature to find something (else) or any other alternatives. Thus the semi-circular mat and perhaps placing Pomegranate plant(s) is an appleasement to SELF. Kinda of like a sense of security .... if so, so long as it boosts one's [your mum's - without telling her this] Human/Man Luck... then go ahead. Another Human/Man Luck symbol is the "Happy and Lucky" symbol is hanging the Chinese "Hong Cai" or Hokkien called it "Ang Cai". Reference:
