Forest Woods is within the 1960’s Kampong Lew Lian area Kampong Lew Lian was a large cemetry area Our Past 50 years As we celebrate our Nation's Golden Jubilee in 2015, we are glad to share with you a brief history of this precinct. This area was formerly known as Kampong Lew Lian in the 60s with mainly Chinese and some Malay families growing durians, pineapples and vegetable for their livelihood"Lew Lian " was what the Chinese called durian. This was probably how the - kampong was ramed. With the redevelopment, eight HDB blocks had sprouted in 1977 and the Residents' Committee (RC) was officially formed in 1979. It was originally named as Paya Lebar Zone 'A' RC. In 1980 the RC was renamed as Braddell Heights Zone 'A' RC with the redrawing of electoral boundary. Three years later the RC Centre at Bik 6 was officially opened by Mr Lee Khoon Choy, former Minister of State Prime Minister Office. Another significant event took place in * 1984 as we pioneered the formation of the first Civil Defence Volunteer Company in Singapore. We were also remembered with pride to help up at the Hotel New World disaster from15 March to 22 March 1986. Another electoral boundary took place in 1988 which positioned our zone under Aljunied GRC. Thirteen more blocks of HDB flats from Serangoon Central and Ave 1 redeveloped from the Teochew Ngee Ann Kongsi burial ground were added to become Aljunied Zone' E'RC. Under the new division Lorong Lew Lian Estate was one of the first estate to be selected for the demonstration phase HDB Main Upgrading Programme in 1992. More than 98% of the residents voted for the programme which i was completed in 1995. In the same year our RC precinct was selected to host the first launching of the Clean and Green Week event in the heartland, officiated by former PM Goh Chok Tong. By 1997 the RC was renamed Braddell Heights Zone 'B' as we became part of Marine Parade GRC. With the new millennium the estate had been undergoing many improvement programmes. including Lift Upgrading (LUP) and Neighbourhood Renewal Programme (NRP). Reciprocating to the estate renewal, younger and capable grassroots leaders were roped in to rejuvenate the Residents' Committee and together we hope to make this place an excellent place to live in. Let us celebrate our Nation's Golden Jubilee and together we make it a memorable one.

HDB Tampines GreenFoliage launched in February 2018

Part 6 - Poor Shapes and Forms of Stack 89 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui stack 25 can be considered as a Sha Qi or "hammer-head or pistol head aimed towards stack 89. 2. Thus stack 89 in the above description can be considered inauspicious of the way stack 25 is positioned as shown, here. 3. Another consideration is that stack 89 shares the same wall as the TWO lifts of Block 646A. With the lifts moving up and down.. there maybe the faintest vibrations although not detectable by human observations.. can be a potential sha qi. -

There are differences in opinions, here. Some may consider it an issue. While others not or rather minor issue (if any). -

Part 6 - Flying Star Feng Shui calculations for HDB Tampines GreenDew Total Flying Stars for both 5 and 4 bedroom types Workings: -
Part 6 - External Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, the flow of Qi: Of funnels & bottle necks 1. There is both a funnel effect and a bottleneck at location marked as "X". 2. There is the good and bad news: 3. The good news: In general low wind conditions, such as a "nice" calm and constant cooling wind will be great Feng Shui for Block 1 stack #11, Block 7 stacks #29 and #36. 3.1 The bad news: However, if the gust of wind is too strong especially where things in stack #11's open yard starts to "fly" then this will greatly affect both health and wealth for the family members living there.

Part 5 - Poison arrow or sharp corner from Block 1 stack 11 aimed towards Block 7 stack 36 and from Block 5 stack 28 aimed towards Block 1 stack 09 1. Two stacks in The Garden Residences that has a sharp corner aimed towards a stack: Block 1 stack 11 aimed towards Block 7 stack 36. Block 5 stack 28 aimed towards Block 1 stack 09. 2. Given this consideration, try not to select these two stacks, if possible. 3. For now, it is difficult to determine whether this sharp corner is aimed towards any opening of stack 36. 4. What happens if the sharp corner is aimed towards an opening? 4.1 If the opening is a window, less of an issue as one may draw the curtains or blinds. But if the sharp corner is aimed towards an opening such as a living room balcony opening, then this is harder or that it may be impractical to draw down the external blinds 24/7 unless one really don't mind this. 5. The only way to know is when the development has T.O.P. and one is inside the unit to do a check.

Part 4 - A close look at the Sales Brochure Site plan features and functional areas in the development 1. Red flags are the location of the Bin Centre, Substations. Some larger developments also have an Emergency Backup Generator Set. 1.1. A unit Block 9 stack #43 close-by to a Bin Centre is a no-no. Even overlooking or have a view of the Bin Centre is the last thing one should consider. 1.2. Although there is no concrete evidence of the effects of living close to a substation; however, there is a strong stigma attached by many that it is inauspicious to live next to or close to a substation. Since this is the case, why give yourself the unnecessary concern. It may also affect the subsequent resale value of the unit. 1.3 This is a huge piece of equipment. Often, it is placed at a distance away from the blocks. Rarely used. But they do test this equipment once in a while. Here, the fumes from the burning of diesel oil can be smelled.. 2. Are you addicted to BBQ smell coming from BBQ Pavilion & Garden Grill. Or love the aroma of BBQ or cooking smells. If so, it is a happy marriage. But many prefer not to have a unit close-by to this. As the smell can last quite long especially the winds blow into one's unit. 2.1. For privacy issues, many would prefer to not purchase a unit facing or beside a BBQ , Cooking or Dining pavilion. Here, invited guests or activities may disturb our privacy. And such pavilions may be a magnet for ants etc... 3. Kids Pool, Splash pool, Tennis court. 3.1. Some want a quiet weekend and on public holidays. If you are the kind who likes serenity; then best to stay clear of units facing and even up to 8th storey high near to such places of activities. 3.2 However, if you love such sounds.. go ahead.. make your day.. not mine or ours...
