The potential poison arrow is the edge of the neigbouring block edge. Check that it is not aimed towards your unit's opening. If the opening is a balcony sliding door; then avoid opening it. Or draw down the day curtain. The concept is: "If it is no longer seen, it is no longer a threat". I cannot really tell from, here. But if the sharp corner is aimed towards the yellow zone, not a major issue.. especially if day curtains or external blinds are used... Or better still looks like solid wall thus no issue at all.

Case Study: Does the home have a strong willed Empress Dowager type of strong willed matriach? Or instead a kind hearted old lady? A simple flow chart: death of a parent or grandparent with the exception that the home may still have an “Empress Dowager” or aka a strong willed matriach. Nowadays even the grand children seek advice from sites on the www.

My Brother found romance.

Part 2 - Good Shapes and Forms Feng Shui & Common Sense. Did you instinctively choose these stacks? 1. I am sure, one look at the site plan and many of us would logically or instinctively go for these stacks/units:- 2. Two major advantages: a. Sea view b. Morning sun. Therefore no afternoon sun.

Part 2 - What is a large BIN CENTRE (BC) doing in today's era BTO? 1. In the past around 1990's each HDB neighbourhood has a BIN CENTRE each. And each day, the cleaners would go to each block and their predefined rubbish chutes. Transport the rubbish to the centralised bin centre. The rubbish bin truck would go here and pick up the day's trash. 2. Today, each block has a centralised bin centre. The rubbish truck simply reverses, "lock-on" to the mechanised bin and off-load the rubbish into the truck. 3. Hey! Why then is it doing at HDB Punggol Point Woods? 4. Naturally, besides a unit close to a shop house, this bin centre is another consideration to stay clear away + view from unit (where possible). 5. In this development, the architect has neatly placed the centralised rubbish bin lobby hidden beside the 3rd lift within the lift lobby. 5.1. By doing so, no unit will be disadvantaged by having it's main door facing the bin lobby or one has to walk-pass the bin lobby towards the unit. Kudos! 6. And nowadays, several HDB estates have rubbish transported 80kmph underground to collection points. What happened, here? 7. A recent BTO development launched in November 2018 has labelled their bin centre as "Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System or PWCS" This makes sense as to why there is now a huge bin centre at HDB Tampines GreenGem BTO = Part 5: Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System or PWCS is another consideration when trying to select a "choice" unit.

Part 2: In 1966, good news is that HDB Yishun Glen would have been located on vacant virgin plot of land = Good. 1. This site would have part of Sungei Khatib Bonsu (river) running at the middle splitting this plot into half:- 2. Today, Sungei Khatib Bongsu has been redirected such that the head of this river is the Yishun Pond running towards the sea. 2.1. South of Yishun Pond is the SAFRA Yishun. And to the SW is the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital:- 3. Good news is that the present day HDB Yishun Glen BTO sits on literally virgin land. No cemetries or nearby markets. 4. Under Shapes and Forms, this is a good starting point. 5. I measured the distance between this plot to the nearest shore-line is less than 5 km distance away = Lower Seletar Reservoir / road leading to Seletar West:- 6. Together with it's neighbours such as Blossom Spring... the area is just several kilometres away from the sea = a breathe of "fresh air".

Today's modern alternative: 1. Instead of the reprieve of 100 days to get whatever done e.g. a shot-gun wedding, move-in and/or house warming. 2. If the family agrees to a short mourning period of 100 days; then since this will be the mourning period; don't get married, move-in or house warming during this period. 3. Do so, after the 100 days. 4. Contrast to the Traditional period of a reprieve to do all these during a window of 100 days. And once the window is closed, the mourning will be till 1,000 days or 3 years.

This contains no narratives. Just the full context: 1. The Traditional Chinese Guidelines or Common Practises 1.1 The Chinese tradition that is usually followed, which is if there is a death in the family with regards to parents and/or grandparents: "The usual practice is to either have a wedding within 100 days of the death, or to wait until 1000 days later (ie about 3 years). " 1.2 As ideally, it is said that it is unlucky to get married when the family is still in mourning. Hence, there is this short 100 days window (reprieve) that allows such events to be done, before going into the mourning period. 1.3 The above is the usual practice or believe. 1.4. The key essence lies with what is the family's idea of a mourning period? 1.5 In modern times, many Chinese families will no longer mourn for 1,000 days or approximately 3 years. 1.5.1 But if one is a sticker for tradition, then no choice, one must abide by this family "regulation". 2. Today, so as long as the person and their family elders can decide and agree upon a reasonable mourning period. Then, it is also fine to consider wedding events after the mourning period is over. 3. In conclusion: 3.1. Nowadays, many modern families adopt a more liberal mourning period. Some families accept or agree on a 3 months to 1 year mourning period. 3.2. For long mourning periods, couples getting married should go for a "short-gun" wedding and opt to do so within the 100 days window. Else, have to wait till the mourning period is over. 4. Today's Modern Practical Alternative (Subject to individual family consensus) 4.1. Instead of the reprieve of 100 days to get whatever done e.g. a shot-gun wedding, move-in and/or house warming. 4.2. If the family agrees to a short mourning period of 100 days; then since this will be the mourning period; don't get married, move-in or house warming during this period. 4.3. Do so, after the 100 days. 4.4. Contrast to the Traditional period of a reprieve to do all these during a window of 100 days. And once the window is closed, the mourning will be till 1,000 days or 3 years. Robert Lee, Geomancy.net

Questions: a. My Grandmother (mum’s mom) just passed away yesterday. From a Feng Shui angle, how will this affect - our wedding on (this date that is more than 100 days.) Can the family members still attend our wedding? b. Our proposed house warming on (within 100 days). Can we still go ahead with that? My condolences. c. Move in is no issue since it is within the 100 days. d. As to family member's attendance: traditionally is NO. Since it is out of the 100 days reprieve. d. However in modern times: do check with both partner's parents. Some parents are very flexible while others adhere to strict Chinese Traditional Guidelines. 1. The Traditional Chinese Guidelines or Common Practises 1.1. The traditional Chinese custom upon a death in the family of a parent or grandparent: "The usual practice is to either have a wedding within 100 days of the death, or to wait until 1000 days later (ie about 3 years). " 1.2. As it is unlucky to get married when the family is still in mourning. Hence, there is this short 100 days window (reprieve) that allows such events to be done, before going into such a long mourning period of 1,000 days or 3 years. Even a 1 year mourning period is still long. 1.3 The above is the usual traditional practice or believe. 1.4. The key essence lies with what is the family's idea of a mourning period? 1.5 In modern times, many Chinese families will no longer mourn for 1,000 days or approximately 3 years. 1.5.1 But if one is a sticker for tradition, then no choice, one must abide by this family mourning period. Else considered bad-luck. 2. Today, so as long as the person and their family elders can decide and agree upon a reasonable mourning period. Then, it is also fine to consider wedding events after the mourning period is over. 3. In conclusion: 3.1. Nowadays, many modern families adopt a more liberal mourning period.

Part 3A - Case Study: Temple beside Melody Spring Yishun LEGEND: Yellow = Depending on floor level, these units directly facing the Chinese Temple Red = Units located at the region of NE of the temple. Can be come an unexpected portal for the netherworld. As NE is generally considered as the devil's "front door". Green = In close proximity of the future Chinese temple. Last resort or last consideration after the Yellows and reds are eliminated. Unit's in RED affected by Devil's front gate (Generally unlucky). Placement of altar may inadvertently become a portal for spirits to enter and exit. One consolation is that if the temple is aligned from Frontage West to East, then lesser extend of the above issue. But we never know yet whether the temple will be aligned at an SW to NE alignment. If so, this is extremely bad luck for those units within the NE zone. Especially units ranging from 1st storey to 4th storey high. Let not the temple be aligned according to this purple outline... else can bring calamity to those downstream within NE zone... Bad news also is that no matter how, if the temple raises from ash.. it will most likely face certain stacks within the just T.O.P. HDB Blossom Spring. Both Chinese Feng Shui and Indian Vastu principles ... share this same thoughts... Some temples purposely align to a NE-SW or SW-NE depending on their intended purpose. The famous Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery at Toa Payoh is aligned at a North Easterly direction. (However, this is not based on Flying Stars alignment. The temple is aligned precisely or exactly at a 10 degrees to 190 degrees for a specific purpose.) In the past, I received several SOS separately from some residents at block 255 and also 253.... By right, the temple could have been aligned North to South similar to block 194. But because of this temple; many HDB blocks has no choice also aligned to the temple’s profile. The above Lian Shan Shuang Lin Monastery plus the Kong Meng San Phor Kark See Monastery (Sin Ming - also known as Bright Hill) are never aligned exactly true North to South. But again; if one compares the two outlines of these templese, these two temples are tilted towards a North-Easterly direction. Again, for a specific reason. In Indonesian or Malay origin.. the word to describe this situation is "Mampus" = sure to die... Want to read more about the Devil's gate? https://www.geomancy.net/content/feng-shui-resources/feng-shui-articles/you-and-your-home/devil-s-gate Part 3B - Case Study: Every temple has a a burning offering mount or chimney. Some nicely decorated as a Pagoda. (Location: HDB Garden Vines BTO) For the future temple, there is a possibility that such an offering mount could be located at y or z:- Here, even, if the temple is no threat to the occupants to a unit, the frequent burning of Thus in some instances even if the "temple does not kill-one". Depending on wind or air-flow, these fumes may-kill. Frankly, there is no such thing as complaining about such things. Have to honestly take-it or leave-it, please. Need Advice on Altar Placement?

Part 2 - Some units literally face the two central rubbish bin chutes (recycle & common) 1. Highlighted in RED = Unit's main door directly faces bin chutes. Hopefully, a partition can be built to screen-off the rubbish bin chutes. However, until (if any) best to avoid purchasing such a unit. 2. YELLOW - Close proximity or indirect view of the rubbish bin chutes. 3. GREEN - In close proximity. However still warrants some consideration during selection exercise. Note: All new HDB blocks have a recycle + common bin = two bins side-by-side at the common bin lobby.

Melody Spring Sales Brochures: Site Plans and Floor Plans melody-spring-@-yishun.pdf melody-spring-@-yishun-p2.pdf For Melody Spring Lease Commencement Date is Year 2021 For Melody Spring 2 Lease Commencement Date is Year 2020 Part 1 - Sales brochure resources Today 31.8.18 I paid a visit to a unit at Blossom Spring facing this development. The sea view was fantastic. Once Melody Spring is completed, and for now, at the Eastern /North East facing stacks, one gets unblocked views of the sea and even Lower Seletar Reservoir up to Seletar West aero-related facilities. The bad news is that the site plan has indicated one fine day there will be a future high-rise development.. and it will interfere with the great views of today. Sigh! Not only that units facing NE and East might have to endure 2 or more years of construction noise and dusts. Like some who recently collected their Keys at Blossom Spring. Only to find out that construction work started at this development. And the sore thumb is that it will block their views! -:(

Isn't burning joss incense a form of air-pollution? Once upon a time, many of us were concerned with secondary smoke aka air-pollution causing lung cancer. Today, this report even have an added "nuisance" that it may also reduces intelligence....

1. The Tower block design and site plan layout received a perfect score of 5/5 stars, particularly for the significant distance between most of the blocks. 2. The location received a fair rating of 3/5 stars, not exceptional. Districts 10 and 15 are known for receiving high marks. 3. Districts 10 and 15 have the highest concentrations of Singapore's present and former Presidents, Cabinet Ministers, Ministers, Permanent Secretaries, CEOs/CFOs of various corporations, and other prominent figures. 3.1. Another popular area for such individuals is around Serangoon Gardens and Seletar Hills. 4. In the event of a war, it would be strategic for enemies to target these three districts. Surrender may be the quickest option, provided these influential individuals do not flee to Japan, New Zealand, Switzerland, or elsewhere.
