These are some considerations: 1. The good news is that: "No even in the Southern Hemisphere". 2. The bad news is: the rest of what you had written is not authentic Feng Shui. If a geomancer in the Far East: Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and today, China and Taiwan were to practise such "nonsense"; he or she barely make a living from "bogus" Feng Shui. 3. Since you mentioned: children/creativity gua ; top right corner love/marriage - unfortunately, and sorry to say such things has no place in this forum. 4. A chart of the practical approach to Feng Shui is attached, here. And nothing close to the above... 4.1. For example, a chart can take as long as 4 to 5 hours to work on. Contrast this to the ba gua. How can something be so simple as super-imposing a ba gua chart and presto; get the "answers" in just a few minutes?

1. If one is interested to find out more on bogus FS as what you had mentioned; 2. One can do a search for e.g. " Black Hat Sect " or "fixed template" 3. Here is one of the links:- (may need to cut-paste) http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33733&new=%3EHouse%20Hunting%20:%20A%20Lot%20PositiOn%20-%20%3Cem%3EFeng%20Shui%3C/em 4. Most of the time; if one were to visit a "Feng Shui" website and encounter this fixed template bagua chart; most likely, it is a western site or run by a western person. 4.1. This is because, if one were to operate such a business in the Far East (Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong) and China & Taiwan... unfortunately it is considered a "laughing stock"... 4.2. Thus, such practitioners of the "bagua" thing is very common in the US, Europe and even down under. 5. As I always mentioned in my previous postings on this subject. 5.1. Any creative person or any "Tom, Dick or Harry" can start a Feng Shui business or write a book on it with the following:- 5.2. The so called book:- 5.2.1 Introduction 5.2.2 North (Career) 5.2.3 SW (Romance) etc... Courage etc.. etc.... Just within a day or a month; such "fly-by-night" shops would be formed. Truly "what rubbish".

Always remind ourselves that during our grand parents time; there were no mass commercial products like the Three legged toad, crystal etc.... Spread the word to your family members and friends that the buying MUST Stop! So that the selling, CAN!" There are too many instances where some geomancers found commercial products too attractive to be missed... And they end up endorsing so called Feng Shui products at high mark-ups. There are also some who also sell jewelry in the name of Feng Shui.

Effort is needed, here

These are some considerations: 1. Generally an authentic Ba Zi chart in the past consists of Eight pillars. Please see attachment where there are a total of 8 pillars consisting of : 1.1. Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception 2. Please note that not only is the Year and Day are important; in a true Ba Zi analysis: in the attachment, each Heavenly Stem (HS) has to interact with each Earthly Branch (EB): 2.1. For example: the relationship is shown in the RED "web" in the attachment. 3. In the past, traditionally, a proper chart such as above that has all the "pillars" could take as much as a few weeks to work out to examine the "harms, punishments, clashes etc..." 3.1. Nowadays, in modern times; if programmed properly; a computer will be able to do all the groundwork and leave us with quality time to analyse the results. 3.2. In addition the House of Life is equally important as it can determine whether one is a "weak" or "strong" element.... 4. Further to what I mentioned: although one can use the same term: "Four Pillars or Ba Zi" but some are just too basic while few would bother to do a ba zi with additional fields : House of Life and House of Conception. 4.1. In a full chart: it is like analysing 6 variables under Heavenly Stem YYYY / MM / DD / HH / Life / Conception with another 6 variables under Earthly Branch. 5. In order to find out the impact if any of not only the day and year clash; you have to do your "homework" and work out a ba zi report. It is not so simple as posting a few lines of text.... and presto... the next login... the answers will appear..... someone has to work out the ba zi report.. first.. before... analysing it.. - this is the fact.

Think of annual Flying Stars like fine tuning ..........

Look at it this way, the various banks and Feng Shui Emporium would sincerely like to thank you for your business! "When the buying stops; the killing (sorry!) I mean the buying, CAN!"

Fix-the-leaks, First!

The Feng Shui Emporium vs "When the buying, Stops; the selling, Can!"

Confirming the Flying Star direction. By confirming that the compass direction of the sales brochure falls within the same "tolerance" i.e. SW3 232.4 degrees to 247.4 degrees. The sales brochure shows 237 degrees. While the onemap.sg shows 234 degrees. And both these two findings fall within SW3 Flying Star direction. Thus it is always good to counter-check such information and futher confirmation with the actual on-site readings.

Finally, spotted a potential coffee-shop within the vicinity of Upper Serangoon Crescent : future Boathouse; Heron Bay; Riversails and the near-by new HDB estates. The potential coffee-shop is located at Parkland Residences: Blk 475 MSCP. Parkland Residences a DBSS has just TOP.

Not exactly a "million dollar" view.. but at least; a welcoming change from many other developments where the frontage is merely a neighbouring block's stacks/units "staring at you". A peaceful and tranquil calm....

Bright & uncommon seat designs @ Void Deck

In the past, especially during the 1980's to 1990's; whenever HDB flats face "west"; automatically; the architects would add shades to windows facing the afternoon sun. But often after 1990's fewer and fewer developments add such "fine" touches. I am glad that the architects of this DBSS Parkland Residences have continued with such past traditions. And for the owners; I believe; this adds a vast difference towards the effects of the afternoon sun.

The location of a HDB development's pavilion should be a concern whenchoosing a flat. As a Pavilion mayon ocassions have funeral wakes& funeral rituals (noise). In some HDB sites; their pavilion is centrally located and surrounded by the various blocks. This may not be exactly a good thing as virtually many frontages even as high as 5th storey could directly look into the pavilion. And in the event of a funeral; the funeral tent; sitting area, portable toilet etc.. can be seen. And when rituals are performed; the sound can travel to some of the nearby stacks/unitss

Nowadays, there are lots of new condos where the site is like a "fort". Here, many of these new developments have blocks/stacks that seems to "wrap" or "trap" the water feature in the middle of the site. And does not allow maximum air movement within the water positions and the external. There are some gaps, but this makes it harder for the evaporated "dirty" water to flow out of the site. And so after, if one's unit is low e.g. ground level or 2nd storey; and if none of the neighbour opens their windows; a high concentration of evaporated dirty pool water may filter into the home. What I like about the site plan of Ripple Bay is that although the blocks are arranged roughly in three generously spaced parallel blocks; they are far apart. And easily allow air-flow (qi) to refresh the estate. Contrast this with the Watercolours EC (in the same area) where the blocks are so close and enclosing the pool side.

In modern day, a geomancer should apply:- 1. Compass School Feng Shui: Eight House & Flying Stars 2. And also consider Ba Zi Feng Shui. 3. Please see attachments for a better understanding of what is "Ba Zi Feng Shui" and also how is Ba Zi Feng Shui applied together with Compass School Feng Shui to produce a Feng Shui Audit Report for a home

The semi-circular steps radiating outwards is nowadays a rare-sight. Most likely one of the reasons is that these steps are not that friendly especially to the elderly and may in fact be dangerous as they could easily trip on them

Thank God! The development is not named "The Chop House".....

Contrary to the design of the blocks within the new HDB estate of Costa Ris; Lakeholmz & Caspian Condos are equally close to the MRT tracks. Both Lakeholmz & Caspian condos; since their "rectangular" site length wise is the longest parallel to the tracks; these two developments decided to "sacrifice" a chunk of stacks that are NW facing to try and absorb the majority or the maximum noise for the development. Of course, one can still hear mrt train noise from blocks 50 and 52 of Caspian. But already quite muted... I still prefer this "some sacrificial lambs" instead of nearly everyone got "punished" by it. For other plots of land like Tropical Springs in Simei; their plot of land are luckier as the instead of the length-wise is parallel to the MRT tracks; their small dimension width is instead, parallel to the tracks. And especially for this development; they placed their high-rise multi-storey car parks closest to the MRT tracks. Only 4 stacks are the closet to the mrt tracks. While the rest of the horse-shoe shaped stacks are furthest away from it. Thus, this is a well-though-out minimum sacrificial "site" as compared to the "slaughter of the lambs of the HDB Costa Ris site.

Nowadays, it is so easy to find out more from the web site... Do it! When the buying, stops! The selling CAN!

Singapore and it's 6.9M and recently... a possibility of a population of 10M. Uniquely in Singapore:- My one "normal" or regular photo that was not taken under paranomic view was able to squeeze in four separate developments!Coco Palms, Costa Ris, Dnest & The Palette Just the other day, a client asked me; as they were staying in Pasir Ris on which are the better developments in Pasir Ris to buy... I said, NO! As Pasir Ris to me is one long road i.e. Pasir Ris Drive 1 and it's drainage (road network) is unlike it's neighbour Tampines which has so many roads that can get in and out of it. Today, this Pasir Ris, is like Punggol but it's internal organs all messed up.....Once a tranquil area is going to be packed like sardines in 2016 and 2017....

These are some considerations: 1. Cremation is neutral i.e. "ashes to ashes". 2. Therefore, there is no major issue in it's placement. 3. Under Vastu Principles (Indian concept of Feng Shui); best not to place their puja (altar room / table) aligned NE to SW and vice versa. 4. Under Feng Shui principles; Para 3 (coincidentally) applies. As NE and SW are suppose to be portals i.e. one for the "spiritual or some say devil's - main door" and the other " their backdoor". Otherwise, other sectors ain't that bad. 5. Para 4 and 5 applies to an altar and any objects figurines placed at these NE / SW sectors and vice versa. 6. Maybe the Egyptians place their cat near-by to their tomb... But... seldom one place their dog-gone dog at one's human "altar" area. Generally, some who are highly conservative may frown upon this. But, if you are OK; with it... then.....as I mentioned, cremation is considered neutral unlike a mummyfied dog...

All of us share the noise (mrt trains) and It SUCKS!

On one side, it is sandwiched by the busy link road: Pasir Ris Drive 8 and on the other boundary is the noisy MRT track. Which do you prefer: The devil or the deep blue sea... for many .. phew! None! Skip this development, totally... HDB Costa Ris layout of the blocks in the estate; allows more mrt train noise to "affect" more stacks/flats then otherwise in some other developments.
