OMG! I purchased a unit with the rubbish bin next to my main entrance door.. FAINT!

Case Study 2: Determining the compass directions for Flying Star Feng Shui 1. Based on an individual Floor plan site-plan's North marking: 1.1. This development has only stacks that either face Flying Stars NE2 or SW2 2. As the site will be under-construction, on way to do a site visit to determine the compass direction(s) physically. 2.1. However, there is a need to confirm this with either streetmap or onemap.sg. 3. Streetdirectory dot com seems close. With a reading of 42 degrees and 222 degrees. 3.1. Thus the difference is only 2 degrees from the Sales Brochure site plan. 3.2. And comfortably still fall under Flying Stars NE2 or SW2. Certainly a good start.

1. It is possible to educate young children and their siblings about the importance of avoiding the area near invisible grilles, should they be present. 2. Additionally, another method to prevent accidents is to provide further education on the matter.

Definitely this cannot be used to activate the mountain star! Why? Too sad.. must give him empathy instead.. lah!

Today's Singapore... No, I am not a sitting Judge. I was once an SG NUS PMET. My wife just left me. I was retrenched a few years ago. My mum is calling me now.. What is it MUM! What I meant was Bills, bills and more bills... *** NOTE: This is purely a work of fiction ***

This is totally fictional... Sleeping on the ......

By coincidence, I did a Can or Cannot buy recently & all three stacks/units facing inwards has the kitchen at NW = Fire at Heaven's Gate. Hmm...

1. This is based on the Compass School "VERTICAL" Flying Star Feng Shui. [The panic button] 2. The good news is that I always given this: one of the lowest priorities. More for those who are selecting a flat in a brand new development and want to see which unit in a stack is better. That kind of thing. 3. As Shapes and Forms Feng Shui takes the chunk of 70% of the total luck. Thus hopefully your new home does score high in this area. 4. The other 30% is based on the Compass School Feng Shui. And the major components are the Eight House/4 Good 4 Bad and Flying Stars (HORIZONTAL) Feng Shui. From these: three major considerations are: Frontage, Main Bedroom and Kitchen. Can make or break a home. Not Para 1.

Case Study 1: Termites does not discriminate between any type of housing. The Lanai is different....here goes... 1. Hopefully, today's proper Pest Control measures would help to avoid this issue. 2. This was because further upstream of Jui Residences; a local bank was once located at 101 Towner Road had safe deposit boxes. And a few of their clients found to their horrors ... termites in their safe-boxes. 3. Many landed homes along St Michael's Road & Jalan Taman had termites infestations.

This is not Feng Shui. "Now that I realise that a Freehold is not as EX!"

Fake-Feng Shui Master (F-FSM): "You need to buy a painting with 100 birds". Client aka the Victim: "Where can I get all these: Wealth vase, Porky-Pig, Laughing Buddha, 5 wind-chimes, 3 kirins & this painting?" FFSM: "Get from me" Client aka the Victim: "You are really a Jack of All Trades but a Master of NONE!"

Recognise the monkey business and avoid them like the plague... Lets hope it is NOT........

Not perfect...as you had happily explained You wrote: "We are fortunate to live on a large acreage with no chance of others sewer pipes near us. " Envy?

These are some considerations: 1. Even in Singapore and for terrace houses: either the sewerage runs from the rear of the house into the home or in some circumstances, it runs from outside of the home into the frontage of the home. 1.1. In above example, the latter is similar to your case. 2. Type of materials used in the construction of the home. 2.1. Many homes especially in the US and even European countries like Germany, their house are mostly built with timber. Do read this article I wrote many years back:- Dangers of Underground water under a Househttp://www.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-under.htm 2.2. As you are also in a Commonwealth country and if your flooring is concrete, then lesser concern. Than in the above example of a village in Germany. 3. As I mentioned, in Singapore, there are still homes in older estate with the similar situation as you are in. 4. On the safe-side, avoid lying on a mattress on the floor for prolonged time. Otherwise, really, there is not much one can do. 5. What is a taboo has more to do with walking into the main door with the sewerage pipe(s) running above the head or a sewerage pipe running above the stove. 6. In addition, for the Chinese who have an altar in their home.. it is not ideal for a sewer pipe to run above the altar. 7. Thus one can see that more issues with the sewerage pipe running above then below-:)

Interlude:

Case Study 5 - Although the Washer / Dryer is enclosed in a cabinet, I am always concerned with it being beside the all important stove. 1. Common sense says that one has to input washing powder. Liquid soap is slightly better. 2. This is because sometimes when we pour washing powder so close to the stove.. sometimes, I am sure, some particles may contaminate the surface of the stove and or cooking materials be it the wok etc... 3. What is worse is to set it at dryer mode. This is because, often the clothes are still damp and washing agent residue will still be on the clothing. 4. And by drying clothes, many of these residues may deposit onto cooking materials. And may be a direct cause for cancer. May not be immediate. 5. This is why, in the past, there was a reason why the washier or washier cum dryer is in a separate service yard. 5.1. Drying = Steam & Vapours + the cabinet is not exactly "air-tight".. I know you are not taking in "white powder from cocaine or heroin" but this white powdery stuff.. is just as bad in the long term... even worst to babies and toddlers.. stuffs... ERH GOOD LUCK! 6. It should have been better if the sink and stove are beside each other in a modified layout. And the washer perhaps at the sink side. Not the other way around.

Case Study 4 - Inauspicious for the Stove to face a Sink (Master Bath). Close the toilet door when not in use There are many other similar layouts with the stove facing the toilet. Some layouts face part of the shower etc...

Case Stuy 4 - 2 Bedroom Ensuite Type B1 Unit with Poor Shapes and Forms 1. Okay! I promise not to talk about the size of the potential buyer & family's buttocks! Alot has been said under CS 2 & 3. 2. There is a stigma associated with a master bedroom door opening towards the master toilet door. 2.1. Very hard to brush this aside. Especially since many times.. it is not their Feng Shui Master say one! But rather family members. (Often the main culprit are the owner's elders or even the experienced "Old bird" buyer, liao.) 2.2. Seriously, no one else can convince the potential buyer more then their closes (Kaypoh) sorry.. I mean elders. 2.3. If so, no point me convince you.. as the cows will never come home! 3. Under symbolism, so long as the WC is not facing the Main door but hidden away is a consolation (Prize) liao! Ayiah! The most, please close the toilet door when not in use. Or when one of the shopping centres close.. Erh.. the wife stand-to watch and the hubby, remove some auto door sensors. (Oops! Please ignore Para 3.). Else I may get a sudden knock at mid-night by visitors in BLUE or anyone with a warrant card.. 4. The purple arrow shows that if the shared toilet door is not opened, one can directly see a THRONE (WC). 4.1. Simply close the toilet door when not in use. 4.2 A serious concern are the GREEN intersecting lines where the WC is smack or directly within the centrepoint of the unit! Oh OMG! = Poor Shapes and Forms. 4.3 "Paging for Bukit 828 architect! Please come over to our reception now" A smiling (tiger) owner of #06-02 wants to (confront) sorry I mean to praise you to the moon! 5. Congratulations! In my opinion, in the past few years, I do see stoves at the centrepoint of a unit. But for the WC to be smack at the centrepoint.. is like "LUCkY STRIKE" or winning a windfall of 10M toto draw! But unfortunately, this is BLACK money... YUCKS!

Case Study 3 - Comments on 3 Bedroom + Utility Type C2 1. Frankly, for those who had purchased this type of unit, please ask on my behalf who is the architect? I would like to know why the stove is located at this position? Why not swap the stove with the sink. 1.1. Above has more to do with safety concerns. Especially if gas stoves (most likely bottled gas) - flame out if windows are opened or windy. 1.2. Even with induction or electric stoves, if one is cooking soup etc... the heat can as shown in the illustration, curve towards the person standing at the stove. Cannot expect to buy fire retardant clothing right? Can! Buy second-hand F1 30 or more seconds fire suits... 1.3 It would have been better if the sink be closer to the windows. Better air-ventilation leading to faster drying of dishes. Less concern of algae growth at the existing location. 2. Not perfect with the WC at the foyer passage-way. Furthermore, most likely the WC is the floating type and there is a VOID sharing the foyer paasage-way wall. But some other FSMs would be less forgiving on this. 3. Again, the developer's architects expect: 3.1. The owner's and family's buttocks are small. 3.2. Taking a cue from one of our Ministers that one can create babies even at the living room on such a small couch. 3.3. Or giving a hit: Don't have children! Have the whole house all by yourself (Husband and wife!) 4. Anyway... I have seen many owners after the 1st year.. get approval to extend the living room towards the balony.. whether approve or not is another thing.. though..

Case Study 3 - Comments on 4 Bedroom Penthouse Type D 1. When opening the main door, one can still see the staircase UP-DOWN leading to 2nd level. 1.1. The good news that it can easily be remedied with a partition as shown in purple. 2. Good news is that the kitchen sink does no face the kitchen's stove. 2.1. Please don't be totally happy, here. As the Junior Master Bathroom's basin is sharing the same wall as the stove. For me, personally, I won't be too worried with this. More importantly, the water inlet pipe and waste pipe does not share the same wall as the stove (PHEW!) 2.2. However, some other Feng Shui practitioners have other ideas. And may automatically SCREAM inauspicious. If so, please ask for their justifications. I have mentioned mine opinion, already under Para 2.1. Others... (Not Feng Shui though) . . . Please don't scroll down if you and your family members take offence to my comments below! .. . . . . . Last warning.. PLEASE scroll out of this page NOW! . . . . Don't say I did not warn YOU! I suggest that you and your family members please look at yourselves in the mirror before commiting to buy this unit: The living room is ridiciously small. Small nevermind! If both partners and/or family members are on the plump side... even for the two couples how to sit on the couch.. what more the whole family? Nevermind... at least family members are anti-social animals... or I sell you a software for booking a time at the sofa? Can or not? This will help you to partly solve the problem.-:)
