Part 4: Any concern with the MRT station Entry / Exit across the road from this development? 1. Negative. The train tracks are located underground, and the trains' movement deep below does not directly align with this development. 2. Certainly, having an MRT at its doorstep is an added benefit, and this is not a factor related to Feng Shui.

Part 3: Any concern with the Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital & Sikh Temple? 1. Kwong Wai Shiu Hospital 1.1. The primary focus lies on the positioning of the Pathology Department and the area where deceased individuals are kept. It is advisable that one's residence is not in close proximity to these locations. 1.2. Thankfully, the developers of this project have carefully planned and positioned the Multi-storey car park (MSCP), ESS, Precinct Pavilion, CCC, etc. as a barrier between the HDB flats and the hospital. 2. Stigma of one's home looking towards a hospital. 2.1. Regrettably, there exists a segment of individuals or their relatives who hold superstitious beliefs and consider it unlucky for a residence to have a view of a hospital. Convincing such individuals to think otherwise can be quite challenging. Thankfully, this group appears to be relatively small. 2.2. I remember the DBSS HDB Adora Green development. The two units in Block 348A with the highest prices faced Yishun Pond but also had a view of Khoo Teck Puat Hospital (KTPH). Despite the hospital being approximately a kilometer away, these units still overlooked KTPH. 3. The photograph below depicts Singapore General Hospital, highlighting a prime example of an unfavorable location within a hospital to avoid: the Mortuary. Not all hospitals have the same level of visibility for their mortuary facilities. It is worth noting that SGH has undergone significant renovations, so the information provided may be outdated. Additionally, apart from the nearby Clubhouse, there are no residential areas near Block 9, where the mortuary was located. 3. Silk Temple 3.1 It is probable that the developers of this project carefully considered the presence of the temple. Consequently, none of the stacks or units are positioned to directly face the temple. 3.2 Stack 33 is the only unit that offers a partial view of the temple from the side. Stacks 35 and 45, on the other hand, do not directly face the temple. 4. The design of the Silk Temple's roof does not pose a risk to any of the units in this development, as none of them directly face the building.

Part 2: For staggered Stacks/units such as #21 is set-back further than a neighbouring unit like #31 may be affected by the glare bouncing off the side-wall of #31 especially if one is too close to the window area:- 1. Similarly in the morning stack #27 may be affected by glare coming off from the side wall of stack #25. 2. Other stacks highlighted in yellow such as #27 and #45 may also be affected by the glare bouncing off the side walls of neighbouring stacks. For stack #45 this is in the morning. 3. For stack #29 in green, not the glare but especially in the master bedroom or other bedrooms, and if one were to turn one's head to look to the left, one may somewhat see into the service yard of stack 43. 4. For stack #41, it is more about looking into the service yard of stack #39.

Frankly, it is difficult to digest which is the actual plot of land, from here.

Part 3: Poison arrows from corners of a neighbouring stack aimed towards another stack's opening:- 1. Typically, if the neighbouring blocks/stacks are parallel to each other BUT not lined-up parallel with each other, one could expect poison arrows:- 52 aimed towards 22 24 aimed towards 50 50 aimed towards 42 10 and 68 neutralises each other 46 aimed towards 60 44 aimed towards 62 48 aimed towards 80 28 x 2 aimed towards 28 1.1. At the moment it is premature to know whether how "bad" is the threat if any? 1.2. For example, if the threat is aimed towards a unit's wall then this is a non-issue. If it is aimed towards a unit's opening such as a bedroom window then can be easier to neutralised. For example, the use of a day curtain. 1.3. But if the threat is aimed towards a unit's living room window(s) then this threat is harder to be neutralised.

Part 2: Stacks/units either facing or beside the common bins 1. These stacks are in close proximity to the common bins: 10, 12, 32, 58, 60, 78, 80. 2. Where possible, these stacks/units should not be the first choice.

Part 1: Common Rubbish Bins (Two: Common and recycle bins each) 1. The planners did a good job in placing the common rubbish bins centrally away from all units within each block. 1.1. Thus unlike the HDB Boon Lay Glade (same Februay 2019 BTO launch); this development does not have stacks/unit's main door facing the common bins nor very near-by to it. 2. However, if one intends to buy low floor units of 2 or 3rd storeys may (if at home when the rubbish truck arrives could get a whiff of the smell coming from rubbish trucks reversing towards the collection point that's all:- 500, 516, 518, 536, 534, 538, 552, 554, 570, 572, 568, 594, 584, 582

Part 2: One of the biggest eye-sore of this development is the placement of the common rubbish bins: common & recycle. The most "affected" are the larger bedroom types:- 237 257 265 283 301 Secondary stacks also involved are e.g. 239, 249, 255, 257, 261 & 263 to name a few. Obviously, in the near future, one may have to expect lower Re-sale values or “Low-balled” to sell cheaper. A previous client who had sold their former HDB flat with a rubbish chute outside their unit similar to the above:- Reference to the above ... the article on rubbish chute can be found under this link:-

A visit on Chap Goh Meh 2019 = 15th day of the 1st lunar month of 2019.. The other day, I got to see the water fountain dripping down form this stainless steel cylinder... seems like there is a long interval / duration before it drips... again.. but nice...

Part 4: Kudos to the architect/planners of this development: as they have took the classic consideration of placing the Multi-storey car park (MSCP) between the development and the raised MRT tracks. As well as part of the MSCP is along Sims Way (traffic noise). In addition, the Precinct Pavilion (PP) and the Drop-of-point is also close to Traffic @ Sims Way. As a result only four (4) stacks #54, #56, #70 and #72 are nearer to Sims Way. While stacks #58, #60 and #62 faces the MRT track. (Train noise). Fortunately, nowadays trains seems to run quieter + often reduced with sound reduction barriers.

Part 3: Bin Centre (BC) and Electrical Sub-Station (ESS) 1. The peculiarity is that at times, one must look beyond the development. 1.1. This is the reason why HDB Sales Brochures (SB) frequently provide insights into this matter. The SB will invariably include details about the development's surroundings, such as the existing BC of the adjacent Block 19 public housing. 1.2. It is advisable to steer clear of low floors in stacks 68, 70, and 72. This is particularly true for the lower floors of stack 70, where the view from the Master bedroom and the bedrooms, as well as the right side of the living room windows, may be compromised. 1.3. Regarding stacks 68 and 72, the primary concern is often related to potential "odors" if they exist. 2. There are no know inauspicious effects of living close to an ESS. Nevertheless, there is always a stigma associated with one. 2.1. Thus often even for us in the Feng Shui line.. the question asked by a potential buyer is: "Is there an issue with the ESS next to the unit I intend to purchase?"

Part 2: Proximity to Precinct Pavilion (PP) 1. This is a minor development; therefore, it is understandable that there are restrictions on the placement of the PP. If feasible, opt for a unit on a higher floor for apartments near the PP. 2. It is impossible to regulate the activities occurring in a PP. For instance, during significant holiday periods such as the first day of the Chinese New Year, if a wake or funeral coincides, it is less than ideal. However, there is nothing that can be done about it.

HDB's first new-generation neighbourhood centre opens in Punggol = Oasis Terraces (17 February 2019). No difference from any other mall. With the exception of an attached Poly Clinic

Some of the many past examples of detailed reviews under Can or cannot buy resources on specific stacks at High Park Residences

Yes of course, temple is one of the many considerations when choosing a home. Please refer to a past exercise on Punggol Point Cove:- For example the Legend for temple is = V And for Can or Cannot Buy review...Two stacks of Punggol Point Cove comes under "Last Resort". While some others are not as bad.. and may fall somewhere along the one of the choices.... V highlighted in yellow and C = a stack of Punngol Point Cove:- For confidentiality all relevant details are masked out:- BY RANKING COMBINED PUNGGOL POINT COVE & TAMPINES GREEN GEM =========================================================== Note: Tampines Green Gem is represented by a "G" in front of the stack number e.g. G While Punggol Point Cove is with a "C" e.g. C1xxx 1ST CHOICE = Cxxxx Cxxxx Gxxxxx 2ND CHOICE = Cxxx Gxx Gxx 3RD CHOICE = Cxx Cxx Cxx Gxxx Gxxxx 4TH CHOICE = Cxx Gxx 5TH CHOICE = Cxx G1xxS G1xxx G1xxx 6TH CHOICE = C1xx G1xx G1xxx 7TH CHOICE = C1xx C1xx C1xx G1xx G1x G1xx G1xx G1xx Gxxx LAST RESORT = CV Cxxxxxx CVxxxxx Gxx GxxxABDEJT GxxxCKT GxxxxCDEH GxxABNPR GxxxAEKT GxxAJKT LEGEND: ======= A = Frontage suitable for Mr xxx & sss: (standing inside the living room facing either NE, NW, West or SW). However, this Compass School Feng Shui is not xxxxxxxxx... xxxxxxxxxxxxxor Mrs = North, South, East or SE may even be xxxxx higher than these. B = Indirect afternoon sun all year round. Also depends on floor level and whether other blocks/stacks provide some needed shade. For GreenGem no issue for stack Gxxx as it is only to the service yard area which is considered no issue. Also no issue for Stacks Cxxx, Cxx and Cxx C = Afternoon sun may bathe the master bedroom wall. And hopefully on a sunny day, the heat does not ooze out in the evening making the bedroom very warm unless one can cool down the bedroom. D = Stack Gxxx has a direct view of the Bin Centre (PWCS) at 1st storey. While stack xxx also has a view of the Bin Centre (PWCS). E = Stack Gxxx has a distant view of the vehicle entry and exit of the covered carpark. Stack Gxxx also has another entry and exit point. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, this is less than ideal also. Most inauspicious is Stack Gxxx as it is at the immediate vicinity. F = Precinct Pavilion (PP): Directly below Stack Gxx is the PP. Higher units preferred. Plus expect prayers and religious ceremonies (noise) on some occasions. Gxxx & also Gxxx share the same concern, here. Really high floors is preferred. For stacks Cxxx and Cxxx must get high floors to compensate for excellent Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and no direct view especially for Cxxx of the internal of the PP and occasional funeral ... (if any). H = Expect some traffic noise. Higher floors preferred. J = In close proximity of the central rubbish bin. Not perfect but still not a major concern or issue, here. K = However for Stack Gxx & Gxx it is the closest as it is beside the central rubbish bin. thus best to avoid such a stack/unit. Stacks main door with a view of teh central rubbish bins: Gxx Gxx L = The bus bay close-by. Higher floor preferred to avoid noise of the buses stopping and moving off. M = Inauspicious for the Kitchen to be at NW. But especially for stack Gxx, it has good Shapes and Forms that can make this become a minor issue. N = Under symbolism and Poor Shapes and Forms Feng Shui as "curved" road into the stack/unit. High floors preferred for stacks Gxx & Gxxx. Stack Gxxx has no issue, here. P = Sharp corner of stack Gxx aimed towards stack Gxxx. Q = Athough there is no known problems with an Electrical Sub-Station (ESS). But it is more of a stigma of living in close proximity to the ESS. R = Stack Gxxx frontage partially blocked by stack Gxx and with partial view of the service yard area. Stack Gxx by Gxx. Stack Gxx by Gxx. Stack Gxx by Gxx. Stack Gxx by Gxxx. Stack Gxxx by Gxxx. Not that critical. But a consideration that the unit is "sunken in". Sometimes also the reflective glare and partial look into the service yard especially from the Master bedroom window(s) if any. S = Expect around 3 years construction noise if the plot next to the development is being developed. Plus depending on how the blocks are laid, hopefully, it does not pose a poison arrow if any from their sharp corner towards this stack/unit. T = Main entrance door is in full view of the lobby lift(s). There is a stigma attached to such a situation. Actually more to do with common sense. For example, if the main door is opened, those coming in and out of the lift would often get a glimpse of the unit - more of a privacy concern. But if one always close the main door most of the time, is not that of an issue. This is why 1/2 hour fire rated doors are provided for each unit. In the unlikely event of a fire breaks out at such a unit, it does not spill into the lift lobby area. In a future resale, some may have a harder time selling such a unit = due to this stigma. U = No issue with morning sun. V = Close proximity to future temple and/or temple view. W = Majority masked with xxxx: Unit maxxx facing a long corridxxxxly, the corridor ixxxxxof a straight path at the "turn" of a lift. While for stacks Cxx and Cxx there is a "xxxxxx bend" that results xxxx the sha qi. For example, it isxxxxk #Cxx where this stack/unxxiew once one tuxxr getxxxne of the three lifts! Given that the uxxxxxe eastern-direction of the sea, this long corridor is not a xxxs it has vxxxxlent Shapes and fxxxg Shui. ===========END ============ Recent resource of temple and it's concern at HDB Melody Spring Yishun BTO Extracts from the above link:
