Location: Jalan Tua Kong 1. Bamboo trees grows in clumps. From a few clumps to like a cluster of bamboo trees: 2. Above: These bamboo trees are like overgrown toe nails. They keep on multiply. 3. Above: Luckily the trees were amputated at the solid part. 3.1 Else if chopped at part of it’s compartment area.. may become a breeding grounds of mosquito larvaes. 3.2 As it takes just two cents shallow height of water to be able to breed the larvaes. 4. Another disadvantage of bamboo trees is it’s ability to shed lots of leaves! 4.1. Lots of maintenance both in the need for frequent trimming as well as cleaning it’s surrounding areas. 4.2. Snakes often find refuge within the bamboo trees. 5. Really, what more can I say!

On 9th March 2020 It has been quite sometime I visited this condo. Previously was also for Can or Cannot buy. Pool timing is unusually late in the morning... often it is 7am onwards or latest is 8am. 10pm is the norm. LOL Condo has that serene feel...

Nerium Oleander Hardy Red Oleander Evergreen Also near to this tree...lovely pink and maroon flowers.. Really brightens the day! SUN: Oleander prefers full sun. It will also tolerate partial shade, but its foliage won't be as dense. It is also tolerant of heat, drought, wind, and coastal conditions. SOIL: Plant in well-drained soil for best results. Oleander shrubs can adapt to many kinds of soil conditions: poor soil, sandy soil, and a range of soil pH levels. WATER: Water whenever the top inch of the soil becomes dry. BLOOM PERIOD: Spring to summer, sometimes early fall, and year-round in warmer climates. USES: Great for flowering hedges, cottage gardens, coastal gardens, Mediterranean gardens, city gardens, or large containers.

Pencil Tree (Euphorbia tirucalli) - Tree with stick-type of leaves Two more photos.

Pencil Tree (Euphorbia tirucalli) I have observed this tree in a smaller form in several locations, though not frequently. It brings to mind the longtong dish featuring long beans, or popiah that includes French beans... This tree is devoid of leaves. Alternatively, its leaves resemble twigs more closely.

Thanks for the thorough explanation, master!

Hello master, Is a pot filler such as the one in the attached photo where it is right on top of the stove bad Feng shui? If so, if we just not use it, would that be a remedy or still better not to have it at all? Thanks! Reply: Dear xxxx, Thanks for the photo. These are some considerations: 1. Make sure that the inlet pipe for this pot filler is not anywhere near the surface or at least 6 or more inches from the stove. 2. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, here the water (as in water pipe) and fire (stove clash). 2.1. Actually, this has more to do with common sense. If one has the inlet pipe of this pot filler close-by to the stove, the water within it can be heated up. Especially if copper piping is installed nearby to the stove. 2.2. In modern times, some pumber use hard plastic pipes. Even if these pipes are close to the stove, and if exposed repeated to high heat, may sometimes become brittle or melt. And also, the water may be heated up. (good or bad..hmm) 3. Hear-say information: as to who to believe? There are times where if I say Okay. But later on, if you have close friends or relatives.. who saw this and exclaim that it is very inauspicious! Who do you then believe? 3.1. In many professional Chinese kitchens, they do also have this pot filler = Some have it. Done it! 3.2. If you are the type who easily swayed by other peoples comments or criticisms, then don' t install. As in the future, you may end up writing to me to justify: WHY so said OKAY? But so many of my friends say : VERY UNLUCKY! 3.3. But if you are the type who feels: This is my home, it is practical or functional or useful thing. And I couldn't care less outsiders interfering with it. Then: Please go ahead to install it. Not an issue. If above Para 2 is taken note of. Thanks

8.3.2020 In the midst of the COVID-19 .... plight... some humour... Hmmm...

8 March 2020 A visit to Block 464A... Something new... blind floor tiles aid... would be nicer if yellow tiles are used instead of dark chocolate... 464B still not ready... fenced up...

8 March 2020...Bad timing for retail leases.. especially at this area...

On 8 March 2020

Further to what I had mentioned, Chinese has been stereo typed as having yellow skin. (Okay, me included). Assuming if a Chinese bought this same house in a western country. This same house may even be glaringly obvious of the Chinese. Given the recent COVID-19 thing... if I am that Chinese, I will certainly stay as low a profile as I can! Okay, if one is not a Chinese... just maybe this is okay!

1. Thank you for sharing with us (to me) an unusual house roof colour. 2. Although if I had not mistaken, previously I had seen this yellow coloured roof.. not in a home abode but rather a standalone restaurant. More like an association with a drive in of McDonalds.. LOL 3. Okay, firstly, this has nothing to do with racial thing. 4. In the past pre-1800's no Chinese homes have ever used such a roof-tile colour. 5. As in the past, one can be be-headed even for wearing yellow. 6. As yellow was reserved for an emperor. Even a prince is not allowed to wear such a colour. 7. Thus, even today, many Chinese homes never ever used Yellow roofing. 8. Even when I had previously visited the Forbidden City a few years ago, no yellow roof tiles has been used. As perhaps, this is disrespectful of the emperor. 8.1. And really, not only the head of that household may be be-headed, but all their clan and family members too! 9. Since almost next to zero usage, there is really no precedence, cannot share any stories good or bad associated with it. 10. Generally, under the Five Elements, Yellow represents the earth element. And the photo of the house in your photo looks like an Earth element building as the house seems rectangular in shape. 11. In a way, seems harmonious! Technically looks okay. 12. Anything related to common sense? Habit number 5? 12.1 Often, I will search my brain cells / brain database to see whether is there any common sense related to yellow roofs? 12.2. What immediately comes to my mind are pigments. 12.3. In the past, yellow and red paint use organic pigments that are sensitive to ultra-violet rays. 12.3.1. A yellow car depending on it’s exposure to sunlight can have a noticeable dullness and faded colour in a matter of 12 months or more! 12.4. Therefore, in the past, if one were to buy especially a yellow colour. A few years down the road, because of the organic paint used, yellow has a higher rate of fading. 13. If we follow the logic under Para 12.3. This means that if the yellow roof tiles still use organic yellow based paint, won't it fade and or discolouration occurs? 14. Fortunately, in modern times, I believe some paints or glazing uses synthetic yellow paint.. that are equal to other colours that don't use organic materials. 15. This is fine. Or Okay. 16. In humid countries and often raining. Countries like Singapore may not be too suitable to yellow. As algae or other such matters may partially cover and turn the roof even greenish etc... 17. The other thing is that if the roof tiles are dirty... yellow is such an obvious colour. 18. This is why we understand this thing called: Yellow, yellow dirty fella! 19. If this house is in Syria today, I won't want to stay in such a home. As if a rogue or Turkish combat plane or drown were to fly past this Syrian home... it really sticks out like a sore-thumb. Don't want to be at the end of a "bunker busting bomb" shaft down one's throat!.

Distinctive features of this estate...designed by a British architect. His name and a plaque can be found at one of the Void Decks in this HDB estate Some units have bedrooms that has this distinctive two pointed edges... it would not be good if it is pointed towards another block’s unit opening such as a living room windows... Each unit occupies half of the curved living room window area:
