Soon to be launched NeWest mixed development. NeWest is built on the former Hong Leong Garden Shopping Centre with an highly unusual 956 Years Tenure. Consisting of 141 Shops and 136 Residential Units. Commercial: Supermarket: 1 unit Restaurants: 44 units Kiosk: 31 units Retail: 65 units Residential: Triplex 3-Storey Villa: 77 units Apartments: 51 units Penthouse: 8 units This two bedroom layout shows the air-con ledge (BRIGHT YELLOW) at the frontage of the unit. In fact, the air-con compressors are just outside of Bedroom 1: what a waste of the FRONTAGE.

Using the protractor to determine the Flying Star directions

A triage: discovered a can of worms in my stomach!

We do not know what is this puzzle all about. Slowly but surely, all the puzzles are fitting together.

1. Please note that there are two ways of working out a flying star chart: 1.1 9 grids method(Ideal for a very rectangular shape) and/or 1.2. drawing a Pie chart. (Very flexible and best for less then irregular layout.) 2. If one applies Pie chart, it does not matter if there is an extension. 3. A 9 grid can be suitable for a rectangular layout (preferred without extension). But, once there is an extension, then a pie chart is more appropriate. 3.1. Or rather, if a pie chart had been used, one don't need to flip and flop from a 9 grid to a pie chart. Or again, cracking one's head to see how to divide the "grids". Why go thru such a hassle? 4. Fundamentally, majority of the professionals use the pie chart. And determine the centrepoint.

Unlike the study of biology; where our heart is suppose to be or that each of us are suppose to have two kidneys; In the art of Feng Shui, the heart can be at our feet, while the mouth can be at our head!

1. As mentioned, previously, you are not alone. With a home where a car or two cars need to be parked in the compound. 2. Don't be too transfixed into a "problem" that practically be solved. It can be solved, make the cars disappear from the compound. 3. If there is "no cure" to an imaginery problem or a real problem. No point banging one's head on a pillar. 4. If one really feels that it cannot be solved; and want to improve luck or check for problems then:- The Concept of Maximizing Marks I am sure, one a person's life; as a student, we were taught techniques in answering e.g. 3 out of 10 questions. etc... 5. There is no point in pressing for a solution to such a (you feel that there is a problem). 6. You will be surprised that sometimes, if there is truly a problem; there could be even greater leaks or problems somewhere else in the home.

1. Please re-read my earlier postings on "Bright Hall". 1.1. In Malaysia and even in Singapore (which is worse-off) most cars are parked inside their compound. 1.2. Thus, you are not the only person affected by this. 1.3. As I mentioned earlier, one don't need or often can't have lots of clear space at the frontage. 1.4. What you are implying is that without "frontage" it is a fatal error? 2. You keep on mentioning about House Gua. Frankly, if one refers to the "House" it is often referred to as the Flying Star chart. 2.1. Your House Gua from what I read, this round is actually called: Eight House or Personal Gua(Kua) or 4 Good or 4 Bad directions. 2.2. Common sense = pure common sense. 3. Many of us, even without Feng Shui, would instinctively know roughly where we want to place our bed-head. 3.1. Here, you are trying to fit a square peg in a round hole. How can? 3.2. If your Eight House or your "Gua" says that your leg must face a certain direction and the legs face the bedroom door.. You mean, you are good to go for it? 4. Try to make sense out of non-sense Feng Shui if it is so awkard. 4.1 For example, even if your Gua says to e.g. face East, you mean do or die you must do that? 4.2. Worse scenario if a husband is an East group and wife is a West group. And this implies that when one sleeps: the wife legs sleep with the husband's leg? Ain't this ridiculous? 5. Please note that Shapes and Forms prevail over your Gua / Kua / House Gua number. 6. In the past, around the 1999 - 2000; a doctor wrote into the forum. He thought that Feng Shui is like the Gray's Anatomy book. Where a normal man's heart is suppose to be at a specific location etc... 6.1. He thought that Feng Shui is also a pure science. 7. Please don't ever become like some geomancers. Many times, a new client had engaged a geomancer. Telling them not to use the master toilet. To come home and use the back door. Ain't this looney tunes? If ever there was one? 8. A bedroom is often limited in the placement of a bed. As often, one has not only to consider the bedroom door; attached master toilet door; windows and layout of the bedroom. As mentioned earlier, in fact every one when they enter an empty room would already have a feel where their bed is. 9. NICE-to have and Not a MUST-have. So what if you are an EAST group. But if the bedroom layout does not fit your East group = just too bad. It is not a MUST-have. 10. Putting a square peg into a round hole is inadvertently indirectly "making fun of the art of Fung SWAY".

Some birds help in pollinating plants. In the past, if birds feel at home in your home; this is a plus point for that home. However, nowadays, with the dreaded bird flu etc... birds seemed to be less welcomed.

From the layout plan, it shows staircase leading up to 2nd storey. And perhaps, this house has a third storey. Therefore, there are not only 3 sides (openings) but also on the 2nd level and perhaps even more levels. Mathematically: 3 sided openings X say 2 levels = 6 (SIX) Openings - whether one opens some or all is a different story.

A semi-detached home is often blessed with THREE-SIDE Openings. As shown in the attachment with various blue arrows. The only down-side and not so much of Feng Shui is in Malaysia; touch-wood burglary is pretty common place in the country. And, here, at least two sides especially corner unit homes are more prone to .... above..

You wrote: Thanks for explanation but I wish to know will this side land extension change the original house gua proposition or it does not fall into House Gua. A. Frankly, is your "House Gua" = applying Flying Star? For Flying Star application, it is about trying to find the centrepoint of the home. And from there plot a Flying Star chart. If it is what you mean? B. In Shapes and Forms, I have provided a link to the SIGINFICANCE of such a protrusion based on which sector the extension is. Please note that A and B are two different areas or concepts. For example if above A. is water and B. is oil. Oil will float on top of the water. They won't mix together. You also wrote: By the way, will the car park in front of Main Entrance door blocking the qi flow into the house? But the problem is almost everyone park the cars inside the house and in front of main door which will eventually blocking all entrance especially in the small car porch with 2 cars, if yes, how do we solve it? Please take a look at the attachment. You are already blessed with a semi-detached, you know. And you have a huge field. And don't just think that your frontage is ONE and ONLY the car park. Reminder look at your field and compare to the attachment. Yours is a semi-detached. And there are terrace homes. Which has no openings at all at the sides of their home. . If your home needs a good cure to solve it. Then tell me how to solve the terrace homes which has only the frontage as shown. In Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, even a small area or clear space at the FRONTAGE is better than nothing already. This clear space is commonly called BRIGHT HALL. Many would eny your corner lot: do you know that or not? One has to have their feet planted on the earth. And not some utopian cure. Are you not blessed?

Don't care if the food tastes good or not: Thumbs UP! CHEERS!

NO OFFENCE, LADIES... If you still want to look at it... then.....please scroll, lower... In Feng Shui, many homes come under one of the following categories:- Grade A = an unpolished gem. Little enhancement makes a great deal of difference! Grade B = an average home. Certain areas may need enhancements or to neutralise bad qi. Grade C = a below average home. Needs lots of Elastoplast or band aid to fix. Grade F = No amount of enhancement would work! A goner as in gone with the wind. Or Gone case. (Note: In the above, there is no grade D. As an F means Fail!)

1. In my opinion, although, some architects try to do something out of the ordinary. 2. But I feel that some of these architects continue with: YOU STAY THERE, WE DON'T. 2.1. To some of these architects, to them looking good is better than all the future inconveniences thrown at the future owner of the unit. 2.2. Just take a look at the attachments. 2.3. Some of the balconies on the lower floor has their balcony uncovered or not protected by a balcony above it. 2.4. The common sense reason is that if possible, all balconies are of the same size or if not; the upper floor balcony should be larger than the one lower them. Not exposed, as shown in the red circle(s). 3. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is about seeing (imagine) the flow of qi : be it wind or WATER. In this case, RAIN FALL. 4. Good luck to those units that will not only get "ponding" every 50 years but rather, each time there is heavy rainfall. And GOOD LUCK to you!

How come all my neighbour's balconies are much larger than mine? And all balconies are NON-identical? Don't tell me that by doing so, one can claim that it is a designer luxury condo? For a 99 year old development; and after paying a huge amount for the enbloc site; this seems to be over-priced!

Silversea Condominium: Silversea is 99-year Leasehold condominium at 50A Marine Parade Road Singapore 449266 in District 15. Its expected completion is in 2014 with a total of 383 units and 21 storeys high. (Formerly, used to be HUDC Amberville - Enbloc) Highly unusual entrance as it is at the round-about. The entrance and exit, that is. Personally, I don't like such an entrance /exit. And it's neighbour (also built) by the same developer The Cape (freehold), suffers even poorer Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Photos was taken, yesterdayfrom Cote D'Azur condo.

1. Often, a client who owns a penthouse unit that has a roof garden; would ask me: 1.1. Can I install a piece of roofing on my penthouse roof? 1.2. Many penthouse roof tops do have trellis. And most trellis are made of wood and are not enclosed. This is perfectly OK. As there are sufficient openings and if the trellis wood pieces are secure, no amount of wind would affect it. 1.3. BUT... if we are considering to install e.g. a piece of roofing SHEET: When we install e.g. such as the Dupont 2ply roofing material, if it is not secured properly and/or if there is an unusually large wind; may just blow the roof off. 1.3.1 And just imagine, the roof flows down and it may inadvertently in a freak accident guillotine someone's head off! 1.4. In addition, those thin roofs or made of aluminium can be pretty noisy - especially during a downpour. 2. Thus, this is another example of applying simple Common sense. 3. If you want to say this is "not good Feng Shui"; one is not entirely wrong. 3.1 As I had mentioned numerous times that many Feng Shui concepts originated from pure common sense.

Sorry, to disappoint you. No cats were harmed in this photo-shoot. The cat tongues referred to are just candies that were made to look like? Cat tongues! That's all! Have a nice day!

In some photos, ghosts can appear as white mists...

1. Grateful if you can re-read what I had written earlier. 2. Frankly, if you have zero or no knowledge in this subject, then, you shouldn't be attempting to write a thesis on this subject. 3. Usually, for an academic thesis - up to an MBA standard, it is suppose to be what you had learned e.g. in Strategic Planning and applying all the various concepts learned into your thesis. 4. Furthermore, I can understand if you are writing a thesis to be evaluated by a geomancer. But, if not, then this is tall order. 4. This is my last courtesy reply to this.

Frankly, in my opinion, it would be good if there was some history (if any) that the school was (purposely) built on Feng Shui principles. And you could research more into this and perhaps use the information. Alternatively, if you have studied Feng Shui concepts; then apply them convincingly. Otherwise, posting "PLEASE HELP ME SIR.." seriously ain't going to help. Remember: it is a thesis. And not just a one liner answer, here.

The Estuary is near TOP. Blocks 93 and 95 are either N1 or S1 facing. Blocks 97 and 99 are either NW3 or SE3 facing.

While Block 87 faces NW1 and SE1. Block 89 shares the same facing directions as block 93 & 95: N1 and S1. Block 91 facing directions are NE1 or SW1. More suitable to the West group.
