Blocks such as 186 have balconies installed with sound proofing properties. As one of the main culprit is the balcony ceiling reflecting noise especially from MRT tracks into the home. Further good news is that new generation trains are less noisy. Next time if one sees this: do understand that it is meant to reduce/absorb the magnified noise bouncing onto the balcony ceiling this magnifying the traffic noise. This these ceilings are not only for decorative purposes but for the above mentioned purposes. A completely flat surface echos sounds that travel in a straight line. From now onwards, the government placed a restriction of every unit with a maximum of 15% balconies to total unit floor area. In addition, some development comes with thicker noise reduction glass panels. Some high end one comes with dual ply glass panels.

Someday.. someone may hurt themselves, here. Residents should ask the MA to place the distinctive yellow stripes. In fact, the developer should have considered the safety issues, first. It is the typical attitude of some planners is this “You stay there we don’t." I am not staying there, who cares! Just pay me for my work done! For example, for someone not familiar or first time situation: visually it is hard to discern or immediately tell that this is not exactly flat integration of the function area and the foot path! From the opposite end, again visually, the pathway seems level with the Barbecue area.. Developers have a responsibility to Ensure that their development are safe!

Like HDB City Vue, the existing mature trees are never cut...

Do a search for "Ba Gua mirror" in this forum and there are lots of case studies on it... Such as: and more...

Case Study - Is the altar really facing the master bedroom windows? Please note that only if the altar directly faces your master bedroom window as shown as marking in red "X"; then this is considered the altar facing your master bedroom. But on many occasions some think that even if the altar faces markings A and B; this is also like what you meant. If so this is not a concern, here. Thus what you mentioned is not a "threat".

A typical Ba Gua mirror to "deflect" a altar facing one's main door or windows: has both the 8 trigrams at it's outer perimeter + a mirror at it's centre. Traditionally, the mirror is flat. The rational is that a spirit usually is scared to see it's own image. Assuming the neighbour's is a Chinese deity or Buddha; then the most common recommended mirror is either A. Traditional or B. Modern as shown below:- Nowadays, the most popular sold is a variant of B. Modern. But the mirror is often conVEX or conCAVE. Even though there is also a flat mirror. Should I choose a Ba Gua mirror with a flat or conVEX mirror. In the past, it was a flat mirror. For the purpose of someone looking at it, will look at it's exact face. However, the conVEX can also serve this purpose. Although it's main purpose is to deflect sha qi.. such as a lamp post aimed towards a window etc... Just avoid buying a ba gua with a conCAVE mirror for this purpose of "defending" against an "altar placement". Reference:

Dear Daniel, These are some considerations: 1. As you mentioned, it depends on the proximity of their altar. Close proximity is subjective. To some, it is close-by. To others, may be a comfortable distance even if "close-by". 2. Compass directions: the worst is IF your master bedroom and the altar at a NE (devil's gate) and SW (devil's backdoor alignment). If so, a bagua mirror with a convex mirror at the centre is okay to be hung above the bedroom window. 3. Type of GOD. Although many conservative FSMs (Feng Shui Masters) will always ask to place a ba gua mirror, even for all types of GODs. 4. In essence, majority of FSMs would often ask you to purchase a traditional Ba Gua Trigram at the outer ring and the convex mirror to deflect it. 5. Liberal FSMs may ask you to draw the day curtain permanently.

Frankly, the three-spoke-star block design is pretty uncommon in Singapore. As compared to the four spoke block design and others...

The Two Blocks at Aspen Heights resemble a three-star-spoke (Mercedes Benze logo) The development is up slope .... Stairs radiating outwards was a popular design feature of flats developed during the 1990's...

Thanks thanks ? very detailed discussion

Yes. Read those as well. Thanks Very helpful information. [Can or cannot buy service]

Free free to use this free link http://dates.geomancy.net For the next thirty dates. The dates are personalised to one’s Ba Zi.

These are some considerations: 1. The traditional wedding cards are written in black ink. In modern times, some use gold or silver pens. These are perfectly okay. 2. While RED or pink wedding cards are fine or okay. It is odd to write someone's name in RED. 3. Even if it is perfectly okay for the sender (wedding couples) who feel writing in RED is okay to them. But the consideration is for the person receiving the invitation. 4. Some may feel disturbed or feel uneasy to see their name(s) in RED or in "BLOOD" colour. 5. Thus, to be on the safe side, why be the odd one out? Please DON'T do it!

Cecil, so sorry. For wedding invitations, is there a rule that the words in the card (or the paper in the card) can not be written in red? Reply: Nobody writes in red. Black ink or nowadays silver or gold.

Last year, I visited a new client who had stayed in an existing condo for a few years. As I walked past a display shelf, I can't help but noticing a photo of her son with his handwritten words: "I want to be "The Rapist" when I grow up?" I was DEEPLY SHOCKED! Huh? What? As I composed myself and suddenly realised that the son had broken the occupation into TWO (2) words: THE & RAPIST. He should have closed the gap. If so, the word now becomes: "Therapist!" Got it? Get it? Hahahaha....

Thank you so much Cecil for your help and advice! ?
