These are some considerations: 1. It is common in such an instance to draw-up a few Flying Star chart(s). 2. Thus, frankly, you may have to draw-up TWO (2) or more charts. 3. If TWO charts; usually the 1st is based on either the date the apartment was "born" OR had a major (major renovation). The 2nd chart is usually either a major renovation after it was "born" or the "last recent" replacement of THINGS. 4. Therefore, contrary to (some) popular belief; an "argument" or soul searching or getting advice from each and every site/ geomancer their views of which period should I use. 5. Even responsible geomancers; would have to apply Para 3. above. 6. Some have the privilege of knowing the past history of the place and able to see if which chart "seems" right. 7. LOOK for TRENDS. Sometimes; even if we do plot several charts; there could be coincidences that a specific sector(s) could be similarly "bad" or have seem characteristics type of flying star numbers. If so, then quite safe to implement cures or enhancements ... etc...

Save for that rainy day! While Feng Shui products are commercial and modern. When the buying Stops, the selling Can!

"In olden times & even up to the Communist period in China most people have to visit a location away from their home to do toilet business". There is a shared communal shed to perform such a "business or transaction".

Microsoft reportedly gives up on buying Nokia?s phone biz ? a wisedecision (!-- .entry-content-thumbnail --> June 19, 2013 3:06 PM (!-- .entry-meta -->(!-- .entry-header --> After being close partners for the past two years on Windows Phone, Microsoft was reportedly in deep talks with Nokia to acquire its phone business. But now, those discussions have fallen apart, the Wall Street Journal reports. The big issue? According to the WSJ?s sources, Microsoft backed off from the deal due to Nokia?s asking price as well as its weak position in the mobile industry. Given Nokia?s performance over the past few years, I can?t blame Microsoft for backing away. Nokia was once the world?s top phone maker, but Samsung ended up snatching its throne a year ago. After failing to come up with its own iPhone competitor, Nokia joined up with Microsoft to become its key Windows Phone hardware partner. That led to Nokia?s Lumia phones, which have typically been critically loved but ignored by consumers. Microsoft reportedly paid Nokia more than $1 billion to move to Windows Phone, a cost which likely factored heavily into the acquisition talks. Given Nokia?s current $14 billion market cap, snapping up its phone business would have cost Microsoft a pretty penny. With the Surface tablets, Microsoft proved it could make high-quality hardware on its own. The company is also reportedly working on a Surface Phone, which would be a bold way to compete with the iPhone but would also severely diminish Nokia?s standing as the Windows Phone golden child. At this point, Microsoft may just be better off trying to build a phone of its own rather than taking on all of Nokia?s history and corporate drama. I?m honestly surprised I feel this way ? I remember defending the Nokia/Windows Phone deal to hordes of Symbian fanboys. But even though Lumia sales are finally beginning to creep up, Microsoft needs more than just an incremental upgrade to take on the iPhone and Android. It needs a killer device that makes people instantly want to dump their current smartphone. And despite its tremendous legacy, I?m becoming less and less confident in Nokia?s capability to deliver that miracle device.

You wrote: Question 1: How will the feng shui be affected if I enclose the whole area with a security grille like the one in the photo I attached? There are two schools of Feng Shui: 1. Shapes and Forms. From your sketch, via a top-down view or helicopter view; the outline still looks rectangular. 2. Compass School Feng Shui : Flying Star One should still consider the enclosed living quarters when plotting a flying star chart. And often it is easier to focus specifically on the living quarters (excluding the outdoors). But Flying Star chart can be extended and used to look at any features that some may want to add e.g. in the new outdoor area. For example, some are eyeing a water feature. Can this be placed. The answer can be gotten from the Flying Star chart. Question 2: I was thinking of putting the barbecue kettle and possibly a second stove as illustrated in the diagram attached. Is this a good idea near the back door? If not, where would you recommend to put the barbecue? In general, for practical reasons; many homes have both a wet (outside) and dry kitchen in a home. Thus it is not uncommon to have two sets of stove both in the dry and wet kitchen. Ideally, the more crucial stove is that in the dry kitchen. And preferred that it is in a good position (often suitable to the Eight House chart of the lady of the house). Some other rule-set or guidelines are further considered such as stove does not clash with a water position; stove should not bedirectly below the 2nd storey sewerage pipe (for homes that are 2nd or more levels high etc...) For the outdoor stove; however, it is often based more on common sense. For example, as it is outdoors; wind must be considered as it may either cause flame-out or if one stands at the stove; the wind vortex should not like bring the flame towards the person cooking, there. This is the major consideration for an outdoor stove or any equipment that has a fire element in them.

Imagine, if we were in the 1910's walking along the streets of Singapore; we might see a well organized worker clearing the streets. In the picture is a hard-working civil servant; some regard him as a scavenger. And he is clearing and cleaning the streets of North division. In the back-drop is the dust-van. Today, we might call this a dump-truck. Much like those placed outside a premises to haul away debris and yes, dust from the work-site (renovations or A and A works)

Straits Settlements, 1900. a rickshaw. A distance away was the Chinese Theatre Hall for performance arts. Singapore, then was not a slump as some leaders claimed; it was. Ever since Singapore was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles; it was a thriving and exciting place to be in. The largest group of Chinese immigrants came from the Fujian province by boat to find work and to strike it rich...

World War II; 1941. Singapore. Guns, ammunition and cannons were loaded onto a train...

Yes, no joke! This ingot is golden and lights up like a Christmas tree!

Estate upgrading in the mid 2000's. Ugly but nevertheless functional. As the old bamboo pole holders no longer pose a risk for collecting stagnant water = mosquito breeding...

I always thought that there are just a few kinds of disabled symbols. This one is something new to me...

"Death Ray" Architect Blames His Car-Melting Skyscraper on Sunny Days London made headlines this week for a uniquely modern phenomenon; the city's newest skyscraper is reflecting the sun into an insanely powerful ?death ray? that can start fires and fry eggs. Now, the building's architect has spoken out: "We made a lot of mistakes with this building, and we will take care of it." Related A Brief History of Buildings That Melt Things In London this week, a parabolic "death ray" of sunshine--reflected off of London's newest skyscraper--is destroying luxury cars,? Read? Though it?s not the first case of this kind of epic miscalculation, it is the second for Rafael Vi?oly. The Uruguay-born, NY-based architect?s Vdara Hotel in Las Vegas opened in 2010 with the same kind of incredible singeing strength. In an interview with The Guardian?s Oliver Wainright, Vi?oly expressed a comically/dangerously flippant attitude towards the misfire, though he is?and always was, apparently?aware of its inherent problems. In Vi?oly's own words: "I knew this was going to happen," said Vi?oly, speaking to the Guardian on Friday. "But there was a lack of tools or software that could be used to analyse the problem accurately." "When it was spotted on a second design iteration, we judged the temperature was going to be about 36 degrees," he said. "But it's turned out to be more like 72 degrees. They are calling it the 'death ray', because if you go there you might die. It is phenomenal, this thing." (re: the Vdara) "That was a completely different problem," said Vi?oly, insisting he was following a masterplan that specified arc-shaped towers. "We pointed out that would be an issue too, but who cares if you fry somebody in Las Vegas, right?" When I first came to London years ago, it wasn't like this," he said. "Now you have all these sunny days. So you should blame this thing on global warming too, right?" http://gizmodo.com/death-ray-architect-speaks-out-about-his-car-melting-1265000912?utm_campaign=socialflow_gizmodo_facebook&utm_source=gizmodo_facebook&utm_medium=socialflow

I was trying to figure out what is the purpose of having a solid metal iron grille gate(SMIGG) in front of the opening of the centralised rubbish cute. I feel that it is a hindrance to have such a SMIGG for the centralised rubbish cute for severalreasons: 1. Often one's hands are full carrying rubbish to be thrown away. And, yet have to fiddle with the SMIGG. 2. In addition, if one looks at the photos,it is near impossible to leave theSMIGG fully opened all the time as it will partially block the escape staircase. Or make it difficult for someone at the other end of it to come in! 3. Even for myself, the SMIGG really weighs a ton! And most likely made of iron. And thru time, it will surely get rusty; if not painted will be an eye-sore. 4. More importantly, if many areas of this SMIGG is not cleaned; lots of germs etc... Yucks, yucks! and yucks! 5. When I left and took the last photo; then I realised most likely the architect or the designer perhaps wanted to "hide" the central rubbish cute-AWAY! My god! What a "rubbish" way to do it!

Today, client is collecting their keys to the new apartment @ Prive EC. "Must bring along my pet?"

These type of cemeteries can still be found in several parts of Singapore, today. Especially on land in Telok Blangah area belonging to Johor Sultan.

An understanding that the frontage may not always be the "main entrance" door of an apartment:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new=

Yes, what you mentioned makes sense. And depending on which stack your home is; it should be either standing at A taking a reading towards B. And / or standing at C taking a reading towards D. But do remember that if one were to take a compass reading inside a unit; there are lots of reinforced steel bars on the walls and flooring: which can drastically change the compass readings. To confirm: check out my 2nd attachment using a protractor. Nowadays, there are lots of electronic streetdirectories like onemap.sg. And the convention is North (0/369 degrees)is always on top.

This photo was taken in 1916. Photo shows on the left: Today is the Bank of China Building. And to the right is Fullerton Hotel. In the past this was the General Post Office (GPO) building. If Maybank Building was around at the time; it would have blocked the view of Cavenagh bridge if the photo was taken in 1916. See how time flies.....

A look at Finlayson Green in the 1900's.

Actual location of Change Alley and Commercial Square (1900's).

In the 1950's onwards, the alley between the two buildings will become the popular Change Alley. Why call "change alley?" This is where there are several money changes found within this alley.
