When deciding on a house orientation, should one rely on the 8 Mansion or Ba Zi system? Cecil Lee suggests taking into account two key factors before making a decision.
1. When guidelines are too strict or narrow for real-world use, you risk overlooking a hidden treasure or an unpolished gem of a home. 2. Is it better to choose a house that matches both your Ba Zi and your Kua, or should you focus only on your Kua? This decision is important, especially when you consider how your Ba Zi and Kua work together. 3. The main factors to consider when looking for a suitable home come down to two key elements: location, location, location (LX3) or excellent external shapes and forms, which make up 70%, and the principle of Yangzhai San Yao, which accounts for the remaining 30%, for a total of 100%. 4. You may choose to treat Ba Zi and Kua as a single combined consideration, or focus only on Kua within the Yangzhai San Yao framework. 5. It is important to understand that even within the Yangzhai San Yao framework, the Frontage factor plays a minor role compared to the strong influence of LX3! 6. Over time, many people (especially Singaporeans) have become used to relying mainly on theoretical knowledge. While remembering what we have learned is useful, true excellence lies in practical application. This may help explain the shortage of entrepreneurs in Singapore. 7. The key to success is to place the LX3 factor above all other considerations! Do not overlook valuable opportunities, as internal factors can often be adjusted or improved.

HDB Costa Grove @ Pasir Ris BTO launched in November 2020 - Is my unit lucky?
Case Study 3: Kudos to the planner on the design of the two entry/exits of this HDB Costa Grove 1. Good that none of the stacks/units are affected by Sha Qi especially from vehicles entering the service road:- 2. Many other planners of other estates should take note of this sterling example - subject to constrains for smaller sites.

HDB Parc Residences @ Tengah BTO launch in August 2020 + Pool View (Virtual Water) Really?
Case Study 7: An Olympic sized pool really for HDB Parc Residences? 1. I heard a rumour that HDB Parc Residences will get a swimming pool as shown, here:- 2. Sorry, the above is FAKE news! 3. What I wanted to illustrate is that for higher floors that have a view of swimming pool... Sorry! I mean the MSCP roof garden, 4. This "wrap" around the MSCP car park garden is not a new concept. One of the earliest design concept was the Phase 1 where inner units also has similar wrap around the MSCP roof-garden. 5. The idea is that a water position simply means that nothing can be built above it. And if any unit faces such a "water position" will have clear-space or clear-view up to at least the pool or water position. 6. For units at HDB Parc Residences, common sense says that one should try to get higher than the MSCP roof-garden to enjoy such a view! 6.1. In addition, even if the unit is above the MSCP roof-line, there might be lamp posts on the roof-garden to cause a poison arrow! 6.1.1. Thus safest is perhaps a higher unit! 7. Okay, this is indeed the correct site plan. No real water position. But nevertheless this is called: VIRTUAL WATER position. =

HDB Parc Residences @ Tengah BTO launch in August 2020 + Pool View (Virtual Water) Really?
Case Study 6: What a pity great views but direct afternoon sun 1. Personally, I dislike living in any afternoon sun home. Worse if it has direct afternoon sun. 2. Thus to me it is a great pity that stacks like #141, #143, #149 and #151 have great unblocked greenery view... 3. These stacks also have direct afternoon sun: #108, #110 #116 & #118:-

HDB Parc Residences @ Tengah BTO launch in August 2020 + Pool View (Virtual Water) Really?
Case Study 5: Common bins / bin lobby are already in an optimal placement location 1. One test I always do to see if the common bins are at a reasonable optimal location is to draw a circle. 2. If the common bin can be enclosed nicely within the circle(s) - see below, this is traditional and "hard to fault" position. 3. Furthermore, usually no unit front door faces the bin lobby/bins. 3.1. Although, it is inevitable that often one unit could be close-by to the bin lobby.

Case Study 4: Any concern if I select a unit facing a traffic junction? 1. Stack #180 directly facing the traffic junction. 2. Stacks #178 and also #158 and #160 are generally also considered as facing a junction. 3. Stacks #107 and #109 also faces a cross junction. 4. Learn more about the concerns (if any), here:-

Rymden 77 @ Lorong H Telok Kurau by Quek Hock Seng Construction Pte Ltd
Rymden 77 is on a site that was once three separate bungalow homes. The developer somehow managed successfuly to negotiate with these three owners, who by the way were totally unrelated.

Master Cecil Lee’s 7 Simple Kitchen Feng Shui Stove Placement Guidelines (Friendly, Practical Tips)
1. In many cases, larger kitchens cannot fit a full or seamless backsplash mirror. If this happens, make sure the seams of the tempered glass backsplash mirror do not line up with the stove or sink. This is shown in the accompanying diagrams.

RoyalGreen @ Bukit Timah 6 Anamalai Avenue by Allgreen Properties Pte Ltd + a question mark on the North marking on the site plan
Case Study 2: Can I rely on the RoyalGreen's Sales Brochure Site Map North compass marking? 1. This development's Flying Stars borders quite close to the fringe of either N1 or NE1 and S1 or SW1. 2. The protractor readings on the Site Plan shows this development's stacks/units either face N1 (20 degrees) or S1 (200 degrees). 3. However, the readings from streetdirectory map shows either 23 degrees = NE1 or 203 degrees or SW1. 4. Although onemap.sg's outline of the blocks are only available close to the T.O.P. of Royal Green, fortunately, this plot is rectangular and the blocks are aligned parallel to Lily Avenue and the green stretch. 4.1. Thus using the greenery outline as a guide, I managed to obtain 23 degrees or NE1 for stacks/units facing towards Bukit Timah Road. 5. Thus for now, I don't really trust the North marking on the Site plan. But rather that from both Streetdirectory.com and especially Onemap.sg as it uses gov.data survey map for their charts. 6. Of course, the only other way to confirm is to be the actual site when the blocks / stacks are built for a final confirmation. 7 Since expected T.O.P. is in December 2022, this development belongs to Period 8 Flying Star Feng Shui. Reference resource:- It can be an issue especially if the compass readings falls close to the fringe of N3 and NE1 as in this case (C) Geomancy.net 1996

RoyalGreen @ Bukit Timah 6 Anamalai Avenue by Allgreen Properties Pte Ltd + a question mark on the North marking on the site plan
Case Study 1: How's the overall score for this site? 1. Location, location, location: 3.5 Stars1.1. Could have been higher if not for it's close proximity to Bukit Timah Road / Dunearn Road and a cluster of several shop houses at Sixth Avenue. 2. Site Plan: 4.5 Stars 1.1. Safe block layout design + low landed property site with low blocks.

Case Study 8: Stack #02 - Why need TWO air-con ledges? 1. There is a preference to have just a single air-con ledge for each unit under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 1.1. This is because, in many situations, firstly, the air-con compressors give off heated air-flow + vibrations. Not exactly healthly consideration under Feng Shui. 1.2. Secondly, take a look at many air-con ledges and one can find bird droppings and/or dusts/dirt within such air-con ledges especially at the Master Bedroom area. 2. For this unit, ideally, if one were to choose a location for an air-con ledge, it should be the one located beside Bath 1 / partial Bedroom 3. 3. The architect / planner should perhaps have redesigned the YELLOW layout of the air-con ledge to accomodate the necessary number of air-con compressor units. And do away with the one in BLUE at the Master Bedroom.
