1. Please see attachment; 2. For this layout; the best or preferred location of the Altar is at marking "A". 3. If the Altar is at location "B"; then the bed-head in Bedroom 3 must not share the same wall as the Altar. 3.1Furthermore, under location "B"; if joss stickers are lighted up daily; then the joss-smoke would often flow into all three bedrooms. Not ideal if some family members are often at home. As inhaling such smoke in the long term may not be health. 3.2 In some other units; the altar may be located at marking "D". But since every six months; the rays of the afternoon sun may shine towards location "D". Thus considered "disrespectful" to have the altar, here. 3.3 Location "G" is considered as a "last resort". If possible, still place the altar for this home at marking "A". 4. While location "F" is a no-no for an altar. As it will be sharing the same wall as the toilet. Thus considered inauspicious. == Extract of e-mail conversation with client. To show the important of an altar @ home. Here, the emphasis is that one should work your renovation plans around an altar. But not work the altar to the renovation plans. == Thanks Cecil for your advice. Just to check, other than the best position next to the main entrance to locate the altar, are you able to advise where are other OK locations to locate the altar? Thank you for your help! Best Regards W.T. Thanks Cecil for your advice. We will have the altar remain at the same place (per your diagram) and work the layout (most likely build some shelvings) around the altar. Thanks once again for your help!! Best Regards W.T. Dear W.T. & Y. H. (for privacy issues, using only initials for the names) 1. Please see attachment. 2. No offence. But you SHOULD work your layout AROUND your altar. And not "conveniently" place the altar to match your interior layout plan. 3. As mentioned, in my earlier e-mail; the interior you can play aroundno issue. But NOT the altar. 4. If you are going to "play" around with your altar; my suggestion is;Don't have it (an altar).

1. All the new 2014 and 2015 5 bedroom HDB flats almost have this layout plan for the kitchen. 2. For the 5 bedrooms; the kitchen entrance is in full view of the main entrance area. 3. Option 2 shows the kitchen entrance relocated to a "traditional" re-located position. 4. While I have drawn Option 3. The advantage of Option 3 over Option 2 is to maximize the limited space in the kitchen. Where the fridge can be futher closer to the entrance; as the kitchen space is crammed if the sink and stove were to be placed side-by side with the fridge = Near impossible with a bigger fridge. 5. Yesterday, while proposing the third Option: Option 3: I mentioned to my client that one distinct disadvantage of Option 3 is that it is much harder to find a "proper" door for this kitchen set-up. But for the majority who does not air-con their living room and/or close their kitchen door on a daily basis is a non-issue.

Also not ideal to place an altar as shown in the attached sketch.

Case Study: The Rainforest Flying Star Feng Shui 1. Stacks/units either face Period 8 Flying Star NE1 30 degrees or SW1 210 degrees. 2. In general from T.O.P. until 2023, these frontage NE1 and SW1 have good Flying Star Feng Shui. Do you always use the main door for Flying Star Feng Shui? Paid a visit on 30.3.2015 The Rainforest also had just recently TOP. (April 2015). Overall a good feel of this place. The full layout of a 4 bedroom The Rainforest @ Choa Chua Kang.

These are some considerations: 1. Shapes and Forms prevail over flying stars. Thus, it depends! 2. The main concepts need to be considered before one can "condemn" a home based purely on the "stars". 2.1. Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. In order to determine how "bad" the situation really is. In many homes, even if as what you have described; one has to look at the overall and not just based on one or two things and speculate that it is really, really that bad?2.2. Fix-the-Leak, First! Easily three or more major problems. For many homes, even if there is even one or "two" leaks, usually most homes can sustain such issues 2.3. The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better. The above, in my opinion, is a sensible approach to determine what you had mentioned.

Seletar Park Residence Under/Construction seems like one of those regular construction sites. But wait till you see who build's it? In one of the photos: wait.. you can see "advertisements" shouting out... "TYCOON...." and two more shouting out "RICH- "! How not to become rich? Unfortunately, I found this development to be over-priced; miserable 99 year lease. And above all; all the better units at ground floor with greater than 4.x metre high ceilings sold.... Otherwise, it is flanked by a Singtel exchange building & the Greenwich....

Circle rings represent the metal element. Under the Five element concept: THREE 3 (rings) represent wood. And since circle represents metal; the symbolism here is "Metal destroys (3) wood to create wealth...

1. Please see attachments. 2. In one of the attachments "in red": A, B, X and Y. 2.1. Originally, the recommended altar 1st choice position was in position A. Or at worst position B. 2.2. Client asked whether she could position the altar at location Y. In the illustration; one can see that if the bedroom door is in an open position; the pillar at marking X would become a poison arrow (sha qi) aimed towards the proposed altar location. Which is not ideal.

150sq metre HDB maisonettes that are 32 year old at Blocks 190 and 194 Bishan St 13 selling over a $1M dollars....

Check out this latest instrument! A converted fuel meter that tells LUCK! Yes! Luck!

Sometimes it is not about ebony or ivory. Or hot or cold. Or Yes or No? Often, "It depends". Another concept is to visualize the flow of qi.

Is your Master selling products in the name of Feng Shui? Learn more from their website. When the buying stops, the killing (I mean selling) can! Many Feng Shui practitioners are actually Feng Shui emporium operators...

Feng Shui Emporium has several contradictions: 1. All goods are sold as-it-is. For example, when you buy their three-legged toad; there are no warranties to say that after buying it; you will win lottery within 6 months time. 2. Although Feng Shui Emporium has a Complaint Department... it is very difficult to make use of it... Hmm... I wonder... why?

On one hand, some say that they will make you look good. On the other hand, some say: " If I tell you..... I have to KILL YOU!"

Frankly, it is all in your English. In your sketch you wrote and I quote: "This has a SLIGHTLY bigger step....." Check your English. What does SLIGHTLY mean. In my opinion; based on what you wrote above; I replied based on your judgement.

Thanks for the sketch. Based on what you wrote; it does seem that the staircase in question does have............ ..... ..... ..... ..... 17 steps

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. The concept of "more the better". 1.1. Here, the more the inputs the better it is. 1.2. What this means is that as mentioned previously, the most authentic Ba Zi chart, today is to analyse: Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception. 1.3. House of life is important as some chart may be affected. For example, a geomancer who does not analyse the House of Life could interpret that the person is a "WEAK earth" person. 1.3.1. But if the House of life was considered; this person could eventually instead be a "STRONG earth person. 1.4. House of Conception is another area of consideration.. which.. I shall not dwell in this thread.. 2. Therefore, if one wants to "Do it"; try to do it properly and not using "superficial" ba zi that does not consider especially these two "Houses - Life and Conception". 2.1. The word "Ba Zi" may sound the same but done by different people; they can be totally different. So, insist that a full chart is done for you.

So sorry! This is not Feng Shui. But based on facts. In the past, when cars do not have a third brake lights and the brake light lamps are not very bright.. there were higher incidences of red cars having more accidents. In the past or today, what ever the period; Insurance companies in the west seems to want to charge more if a car is grey in color... I wonder why?

If my salary is SGP$1,000/-. And I have two babies to feed. Each baby consumes around 4 tins a month x $50/-. Each baby needs $200/- per month x 2 babies = $400/-. And child nursery fees will go up 20 percent next year.... Hmmm.....
