Part 4: HDB Garden Vale and Lobby Common Rubbish Bins 1. I believe the planners did a reasonably good job for HDB Garden Vale 2. Not perfect but reasonable given that no unit's main entrance or main door has a view of the common bin lobby or the rubbish bins.

Part 3: Stepped or Jaggered edge border of HDB Garden Vale. Is this FAKE news? 1. One would have thought that the border shared between HDB Garden Vale and it's neighbouring plot would be in a straight or slightly curved line. 2. But if one were to look at the HDB Garden Vale site plan, it is highly noticeable that this border takes a very unusual stepped or jaggered edge profile. Was the planner in a drunk state when he/she drew this site plan? 3. Such stepped or jagged edge shape is unfriendly under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 4. Imagine if the neighbour is an Executive Condo or Condo. Building their fencing not only costs more.. but may look weird after the built. But if there are ground floor units within this EC/Condo.. good luck to these units! LOL 4.1 This Townmap by HDB confirms the stepped /jaggered edges is for real!:- 5. Why can't the planner do it like this? 6. In addition the Notes seems nowadays to have more and more escape clauses... LOL

Part 2: Site Reserved for a Chinese temple at 8'Oclock of HDB Garden Vale 1. Always seems like a taboo to purchase a unit next to a site reserved for a Chinese temple: 2. Below: A temple can be build following one of these profiles: A, B or C:- 2.1. PROFILE TYPE: B 2.1.1 Most likely we may leave out B given that many temples often do not like to be built based purely on the North/South cardinal points of 0/360 and 180 degrees. 2.1.2 In addition, may be quite awkward as it is like placing a square peg in a round hole. Here, the plot cannot be fully maximised. 2.2. PROFILE TYPE: A 2.2.1 This could most likely be the future profile/outline of the temple. 2.2.2 Here, the temple will be facing SW, sitting NE. In some instances can activate a spiritual portal of : Devil's gate: Devil's front door and Devil's back door. More about this can be found under this link:- 2.2. PROFILE TYPE: C 2.2.1 This profile is equally less likely because of the outline of the plot of land. 2.2.2 A few famous Singapore monastery is aligned in such a profile. 2.2.3 For example: Two of the most famous Monasteries in Singapore: Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery and Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery at Toa Payoh:-

These are some considerations: 1. There are always differences in opinions. It depends on whom you ask this question. 1.1 Some Feng Shui Masters (FSMs) would say NW1. While others would still say that NW2. 1.2 Some FSMs would say NW1. But temporary. As ultimately, the actual facing of the house is still NW2. 1.3 Those who say that it will become NW1 based their belief of symbolism. This group simply "eats and sleep" on the "Main Entrance Door". And their Feng Shui revolves around this Main Entrance Door. If one encounters this group of FSMs. Their answer is always NW1. 1.4. I am more inclined towards Para 1.1. and 1.2. Thus, NW2. 2. Frankly, as mentioned above, the reply depends on WHOM one seeks advice from. 3. The above falls under the Compass School of Feng Shui = Flying Star Feng Shui. 4. The other application of tilting of the main door is to steer away from poison arrow such as a lamp post aimed towards a main door etc... 5. Search for Hyatt Hotel and one can find photos in this forum of such a tilt at the frontage of Hyatt Hotel. It is based on Castle Gate Theory. (This is an advanced theory and many FSMs today don't really know what it is or how to apply this. LOL!) 5.1. And the benefit here is both the "flow of qi" as well as avoid poison arrows (if any) where tilting a door symbolise that the main door may no longer face directly e.g. a lamp post.

Current demolition to cater for Amber Park.. Pretty noisy and dusty... Amber Park...

From first mover to end of days in Singapore. Shrinking against stiff opposition like Starbucks and Coffee Bean...twenty years.. no more in SGP. In the past, had held discussions at Bishan Community, former SJI... both closed sometime ago...

From first mover (advantage) to closing down. The last branch at Parkway closes in Year 2019. This Australian chain was in Singapore in the last two decades. Shrinking against stiff opposition like Starbucks and Coffee Bean...

Part 1: In 1966, PARC Komo was ground zero for Yan Kit Village And today, Changi prison was expanded to the opposite side of the Changi Road. Seems like this is the last plot of land to be developed in the area. The rest were developed by CDL extensively.

These are some considerations: 1. Contrary to popular beliefs, not every thing is a Sha Qi (poison arrow) 2. Take a cue from the Management concept / situational approach called "It Depends!". 3. Thus Sha Qi is not a one-size fits all. 4. The key to understanding is the logic of "vulnerable" openings of one's premises (can be) a home, a business premise. 5. For a home, the most vulnerable areas are: the main entrance door, the sliding panels and/or the windows. 6. If there is say... a horizontal edge of the neighbour's house. But if it is at the same level as one's home wall; then no issue. Same goes for pointed roof-lines and objects such as in this first or earlier thread that looks like a "threatening" knife... etc... 7. Another area not covered by the above is another form of Sha Qi. This form of Sha Qi is often an opening e.g. between two houses. Add in the wind conditions. 8. We can also consider this example. Say, if one's home is standalone on a hill. Surrounding this home has natural or planted trees. 8.1 On windy days, these trees help to slow down the wind. Contrast this to a house on a hill completely on barren ground. Too strong a wind often means one or family members can fall sick. Much like the examples I had provided in the movement of air flow between two or more blocks of flats. Case studies .. can be found if one does a search for the likes of " La Fiesta " or "Luxurie" condo. (Found in this forum). 8. For landed properties are also the same. Sometimes the house is between a gap of two houses. Plus if it is unusually windy, such that if one were to open one's home windows, strong winds gush into our house, then best to control this wind by reducing the amount of openings or closing them.

Can or cannot buy is specific to the main breadwinner...

Yet another past review of Stirling Residences...

Another past specific Can or cannot buy review on a single unit at Jadescape. Details purposely pixelated for confidentiality...

Sorry to trouble u again, The additional lighting point, can it be another on/off switch (with looping fr nearby lighting point )or must it be direct fr DB Reply: Frankly, Feng Shui does not micro manage until like this... or rather, this has nothing to do with Feng Shui whatsoever

Another past Can or Cannot Buy review at Stirling Residences..

Please note that Can or Cannot buy ranking is not "one-size" fits all. Main consideration is based on the main breadwinner. In the above example of the review of stack #30, both partners happens to have the same or identical suitable "fit". In this illustration, one unit scores a high 75%. While the 2nd unit scores a poor 25% fit to this potential buyer of the unit...

Sample Can or Cannot Buy on stack #30 Stirling Residences.... A low "fit" for this male breadwinner at 25% marks...

Past Ranking Exercise. Showing an A to Z considerations for a detailed ranking exercise. BY RANKING OF HDB KALLANG BREEZE AND TOWNER CREST ================================================= Note the alphabet at the front of the stack number : K = Kallang Breeze. While T = Towner Crest. For example KXX means Kallang Breeze Stack #XX 1ST CHOICE = KXXX TXX 2ND CHOICE = TXXQ 3RD CHOICE = KXXK TXXBS TXXB TXXPQ 4TH CHOICE = KXXJLU TXXV TXXAV TXXv 5TH CHOICE = KXXT KXX KXXAGT KXXGT TXXW TXXAB 6TH CHOICE = KXXADFKT KXXCDEU KXXBJLT KXXXXT KXXBLU LAST RESORT = KXXCDE KXXHKTZ KXXXXT TXXXXS LEGEND ====== For example: KXXAT = Kallang Breeze Stack #XX + Afternoon sun + Suitable facing for Mr XX. A = Throughout the year, the unit is exposed to the afternoon sun at an angle. B = The master bedroom may experience afternoon sun exposure, even between 6pm to 8pm. C = This unit shares a wall with the common rubbish bins, and stack KXX has a direct view of them. D = Some noise from the MRT tracks can be expected, especially towards the rear of the unit. E = Avoid purchasing units below the 8th storey due to the 6-storey high MSCP at Kallang Breeze. F = Units with a view into the Precinct Pavilion may experience noise during certain activities, so opt for stacks above the 12th storey if possible. G = Open Drainage Reserve does not pose any issues for these units. H = The master bedroom of Stack K#XX on lower floors has a view of the Public Housing's Bin Centre. J = Stack K#XX is located next to the Bus Bay, so avoid low units for this stack. K = Lower floors may experience traffic noise from Sims Way. L = Lorong 3 Geylang is a small road with minimal traffic. Opt for a unit on a higher floor if you prefer to avoid any road noise or bus disturbances. M = Gets direct morning sunlight, but it's not a major issue as the unit cools down by the afternoon. N = Facing a cross junction is generally fine, although some believe it's not ideal. However, this superstition only applies to landed properties, not stack/units at T#XX or T#XX. On extremely windy days, remember to keep the windows closed to avoid any health or wealth issues. P = Lower floors may experience some traffic noise. Q = The Sikh Temple is visible if you look in that direction. R = The unit faces Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital. S = Adjacent to the plot is designated for future construction of high-rise residential buildings. T = Mr XXX belongs to the western group, while XXX belongs to the eastern group. Therefore, units with a T orientation are more suitable for Mr XXX. U = The kitchen located in the northwest can have an impact on the career luck of the male breadwinner, especially the stove. However, this can still be remedied. V = The wall of Stack TXX can be very bright in the afternoon, while in the morning it can be bright for Stack TXX. The wall of Stack XX can also be bright in the morning for Stack XX. W = It is advisable to avoid lower floors as the front of the stack faces the service road leading into the estate. Z = The Electrical Sub-Station is not particularly close to any of the stacks/units. The closest one is Kallang Breeze Stack K#XX, but it is still quite far away. Therefore, there is no concern for K#XX.
