  1. Case Study 23A: Is the North marking on the Sales Brochure site plan accurate? Can I rely on it? 1. Even if you just want to check the afternoon sun, it is good that the site plan is accurate. 1.1. For those who dwell into Feng Shu, knows that it is essential to have a highly accurate compass reading. Sometimes just 0.5 degrees can mean a totally different Feng Shui analysis! 1.3 Extracts from this article: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/17357-view-at-kismis-via-a-joint-venture-by-roxy-pacific-holdings-and-te2-development/?tab=comments#comment-40070 2. Condo: View at Kismis: Looks like the Sales Brochure site map does not match exactly to the one-map street directory. 3. [Above] Please ignore that the Sales Brochure plan is not matched extactly to the plot of land. 4. When I superimpose the correct orientation of the sales brochure to onemap.sg, one can see clearly the mis-match of Lorong Kismis with each other. 4.1. For example: The X and Y axis of Lorong Kismis on the Sales Brochure does not match P and Q outline on Onemap.sg:- 2.2. If the Sales Brochure North marking on the site plan is accurate, X and Y should match P and Q exactly. 3. This means or implies that the North marking on the Sales Brochure is not exactly correct. Given that onemap uses the gov.sg survey map... a better indicator of the compass direction. 4. Do take note that the actual block outlines will not appear on onemap.sg until actual T.O.P. or thereabouts. 5. Another map to consider takng the compass readings is the use of streetdirectory.com maps as this site will add in the block outlines as soon as the site plan is readily available. 6. Condo: Hillvista Extract from https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/12029-the-new-hillvista-condo-1-elizabeth-drive/?tab=comments#comment-24645 Started building around 3 years ago. Expected TOP is around October 2010 or thereabouts. Consists of a row of three "blocks" fused together into one single block. With units or stacks either facing Flying Star North 3 or South 3 direction. Under this current Feng Shui qi; facing South 3 or S3 is preferred over N3. The siteplan or sitemap's NORTH compass direction does NOT MATCH it's individual layout plan's NORTH compass marking. In the siteplan; the NORTH seems to be at Flying Star N1 or S1. While under it's individual layout plan NORTH marking; the compass reading is either N3 or S3. So far, I can recall that there were few mistakes made especially on the siteplan. And in my lifetime; I can recall only 2 or 3 other cases where the siteplan NORTH marking is "off" or incorrect. Case Study 23B: Do you always use the main door in Feng Shui? Learn more:-

  3. Case Study 22A: Should I be concerned if a Chinese Temple (present or future) be near-by or facing a potential stack/unit? Higher probability of uninvited spirits into the unit? [Extract from review of HDB Melody Spring Yishun BTO with a potential temple beside it's plot.] LEGEND: Yellow = Depending on floor level, these units directly facing the Chinese Temple Red = Units located at the region of NE of the temple. Can be come an unexpected portal for the netherworld. As NE is generally considered as the devil's "front door". Green = In close proximity of the future Chinese temple. Last resort or last consideration after the Yellows and reds are eliminated. Unit's in RED affected by Devil's front gate (Generally unlucky). Placement of altar may inadvertently become a portal for spirits to enter and exit. One consolation is that if the temple is aligned from Frontage West to East, then lesser extend of the above issue. But we never know yet whether the temple will be aligned at an SW to NE alignment. If so, this is extremely bad luck for those units within the NE zone. Especially units ranging from 1st storey to 4th storey high. Let not the temple be aligned according to this purple outline... else can bring calamity to those downstream within NE zone... Bad news also is that no matter how, if the temple raises from ash.. it will most likely face certain stacks within the just T.O.P. HDB Blossom Spring. Both Chinese Feng Shui and Indian Vastu principles ... share this same thoughts... Some temples purposely align to a NE-SW or SW-NE depending on their intended purpose. The famous Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery at Toa Payoh is aligned at a North Easterly direction. (However, this is not based on Flying Stars alignment. The temple is aligned precisely or exactly at a 10 degrees to 190 degrees for a specific purpose.) In the past, I received several SOS separately from some residents at block 255 and also 253.... By right, the temple could have been aligned North to South similar to block 194. But because of this temple; many HDB blocks has no choice also aligned to the temple’s profile. The above Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery plus the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery (Sin Ming - also known as Bright Hill) are never aligned exactly true North to South. But again; if one compares the two outlines of these templese, these two temples are tilted towards a North-Easterly direction. Again, for a specific reason. In Indonesian or Malay origin.. the word to describe this situation is "Mampus" = sure to die... Case Study 22B: Should I be concerned with a near-by church? Or an elderly home? [Extract: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/13571-flo-residence-punggol-field-walk/?tab=comments#comment-28544] Case Study: Flo Residence @ Punggol Field Walk: 1. Frankly, although the stacks / units are reasonably priced; 2. I feel that this development equally has not so good Shapes And Forms Feng Shui. 3. The worst stack is #19 of Block 9. As it is in close proximity with it's neighbouring HDB Block 169A of Punggol Nautilus (169A Punggol Field). Please see illustration. 4. Furthermore, this development has a rectangular missing corner that is ear-marked for a proposed church. 4.1. In the near future, especially Block 3 and Block 5 pool facing stacks would daily be reminded of "going to church" as most certainly the church's spine in the form of a cross would be obvious on it's roof. However as the church is not built yer, hopefully, this is not aimed at a unit in this development. 5. It's surroundings also not that fantastic as it is surrounded or close to Sheng Jia Temple; the Bright Hill Evergreen Home (uncompleted). 6. I understand that in the future, this area is ear-marked to have a mosque etc... in the near vicinity. Case Study 22C: Should I be concerned buying a home near a mosque [Extract from: https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/17709-hdb-tampines-greenspring-green-spring-bto-launched-in-november-2019/?tab=comments#comment-40634] 1. In a multi-racial society of Singapore, it is pretty common to have mosques close-by. 2. As land bank in Singapore gets scarce, in recent years the government tried to find as many "left-over" plots of land to squeeze into housing. 2.1. For example, private developers also even bid on enbloc land to build Paya Lebar Residences (PLR) which TOP in 2003 (formerly known as Vistaya View). Like this site, PLR is just a short-walk to the MRT & lots of amendities. & Our Tampines HUB. 2.2. Not only is it beside Masjid Wak Tanjong Mosque, it is also beside a Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah. 3. HDB Tampines GreenSpring is also built on "left-over" plot of land. 3.1. Thus it is not unusual for the Darul Ghufran Mosque to be along the major Tampines Avenue 5 Road. And Tampines GreenSpring to kind-of wrap itself around the mosque. 3.2. As far back as the 1970's Singapore mosques were allowed to broadcast prayers at specific time of the day. And if I can recall, at least three (3) or more times a day. 4. Fortunately, nowadays, mosques remain silent. A plus for tranquility. Other than especially on Fridays where one can expect near-by road-side and carparks full of vehicles during this timing. 5. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, best to avoid a unit directly facing the Crest on top of a typical mosque dome. As this can be considered a Sha Qi. Much like another home could have been facing the spine of a Catholic/Christian church Cross. 6. It is difficult to shake-off someone else perceived stigma. 6.1 Thus even if one is neutral or try to "live-and-let-live" with a unit facing or next to a mosque. 6.2 However, when it comes to re-sale say 5 years or later. This can seriously affect the re-sale value of one's unit. 6.3 Here, there is no way to ally someone else preference if they simply don't want to buy the unit. 6.4 Often, we might even expect low-ball offers... in such unfortunate situations. 6.5 Of course, if today, the price of such flats is a hefty discount.. please do your own sums. As price or cost of purchase of any home is not a Feng Shui thing. 6.6 Common sense is that in an open market, often, buyers already have some expectations.. such as paying more for unblocked views...... pool views ... if any...
  4. Case Study 21: Is there a potential poison arrow from a neighbouring stack/unit? 1. If one knows what to look out for, one can easily identify potential poison arrow(s) from the sharp corner of another neighbouring block or unit. 2. [See below] For example, in bold RED is a potential sharp corner:- 3. Good news is that a keen eye can detect such a Sha Qi from the Sales Brochure itself. 3.1. So long as the sharp corner is not aimed towards an opening such as a balcony sliding panel or windows; this is not a threat. 3.2. If in doubt, choose another unit. As this can only be ascertained accurately upon T.O.P. of the unit. 4. Another type of Sha Qi can be found under this link:- https://www.geomancy.net/forums/topic/15997-the-tapestry-by-cdl-at-tampines-unexpected-sha-qi-and-poison-arrows-the-luxurie-la-fiesta-greenfoliage/
  5. Case Study 20: 7 Commandments of Stove Placement 1. Understand that this may be out of one's control. 1.1. As it is not like one can built the home from scratch. 1.2. Most of us may still have a choice in the selection. 1.3 For example, I am sure that not all stacks/units has a kitchen/stove at the inauspicious NW = Fire at Heaven's Gate. (Do check out: Case Study 3.) The 7 Commandements of Stove Placement:- 1. Shield from vibrant wind. Avoid having a big window behind the stove. 2. Do not place next to sink. If you have to leave a gap or distance between the two. 3. The stove should not face the main door, a toilet door, a bedroom door and the kitchen door. 4. The stove should not be under a beam or below sewerage or drainage pipes. 5. Do not place it in a corner. 6. It should not share the same wall as the toilet bowl or toilet sink. More advice: On the location of the kitchen and stove: - Avoid placement in the North which is associated with the water element: water drowns fire - Avoid placement in the Northwest or Heaven's gate as it also represents the head of the house, that is, the father. On the location of the fridge and sink: - Avoid placing them next to the stove as this can cause a conflict of water versus fire. Others: - Avoid a fridge with a water/ice dispenser unit directly facing the stove - Avoid a wine cooler-fridge facing the stove. As often it's door is made of glass and the wine bottles placed within it clashes with fire. - Avoid a front-loading washing machine which has a glass pot-hole: directly facing the stove.
