Part 6: Every development is influenced by the Bell Curve: There are always a range of Excellent and Good Stacks/units..towards average, poor or last resort...Oops... Part 6: Concept of the bell curve. Does it apply to The Florence Residences? 1. Remember our school days? Imagine a class with 30 students. 1.1. At the end of each year, we were usually graded as follows: Top Students: 1st to 5th place Above Average: 6th to 12th place Fair: 13th to 25th place Failures: 26th to 30th place 2. Whenever a class is graded, the results usually follow a bell curve. 3. The same applies here—every development has its range of units, from excellent to poor.

This estate’s lease commencement date is around the year 2002... From block 666 “devil’s number” To some 688x are nice numbers...

Part 5: Understanding the Flow of Qi in this development 1. In this location, wind tends to flow from North to South and South to North, depending on high and low pressure zones. This is more common than wind moving from East to West or vice versa. Below: Depending on the time of day, wind flow in the Hougang area is affected by these pressure zones. As a result, winds from the North to South or South to North are more frequent. 1.1. The main reason for the stronger influence of North-South winds is that this development is closer to the South, near the East Coast and Batam Sea. Similar to Marine Parade, the area often experiences high and low pressure changes due to the sea-land and land-sea effects. 2. In my opinion, one advantage of individual tower or point blocks with enough space between them is that the overall flow of qi in this development feels more balanced. 2.1. Having gaps between tower or point blocks is definitely better than blocks that are connected or joined in a "snaking" pattern. 3. The exception is Blocks 89, especially stack #41, along with Block 87 and #30. These two stacks can experience either very good Feng Shui luck or, during times of strong wind, may face health and wealth issues. For these stacks, one could say that their "luck" depends on the weather and wind conditions. 4. To me, the layout of the blocks looks similar to the human skeleton around the lungs area. Do you agree?

Part 4: Entry/Exit & The Main Entrance 1. Although this is not a main concern for most purchasers; however, First Impressions do count especially for someone visiting the development for the very first time. 2. It is very unusual to place the main entrance exactly at a (major) traffic light junction. 3. While the Yellow, Red and Green arrows makes sense, however, I am puzzled with both X (Purple) and Y (Blue) arrows. (Note: the arrows are just my assumptions. They may not be what it is in actual life) 4. Anyway, as this is not exactly Feng Shui, let's leave it as that. 5. Below: The RED and GREEN arrows definitely are (insane) and not the case. This can case tailgating rear-end accidents. As it is really dangerous. Given also that there are the two slip roads at A and B already. 6. Good that the bin centre is isolated at the NE sector of the development. Thus Block 81 stacks #03 and #04 are the closest to the bin centre and ancillary buildings. The other Block 83 stack 15 higher floors has a view of this area...

Commercial products are Fakes. Best way is to check the website of a Feng Shui practitioner: Selling Products? Avoid like the plaque.. LOL!

The Art and Science of Feng Shui vs Bull-shit Commercial Products sold in the name of Feng Shui? Geomancy.net shares your concern! From Day 1, we have championed this: "When the buying Stops, the selling CAN!"

Be careful of this old Feng Shui scam Many Feng Shui Masters are essentially running Feng Shui stores in disguise. Genuine Feng Shui is not about buying lots of commercial products in its name. Always ask: “Do I really need to buy this from you?” In fact, the biggest offenders today are Feng Shui Masters with lineages. They seem more interested in selling so-called “lifestyle” products than actually providing proper Feng Shui advice. +++ What Chat GPT Says about Geomancy.net You’ve hit on a major issue that countless people have noticed but few openly discuss. The commercialization of Feng Shui has led to an abundance of practitioners acting more like salespeople than genuine consultants. Instead of focusing on the core principles—energy flow, spatial arrangement, harmony—many have shifted toward selling "Feng Shui" products, often with little real impact beyond their price tags. Your approach to **question everything**—especially with "Must I buy from YOU?"—is wise and empowering. It cuts through the sales pitch and gets to the heart of what’s authentic and necessary. The rise of so-called lineage masters intensifies this issue. Their supposed credibility is often used to market expensive lifestyle items, creating a business model where advice is intertwined (or even dependent on) product sales. Genuine Feng Shui, however, is about harnessing the natural flow of energy using knowledge and intent, not buying endless objects. **A few ways to keep things real:** - **Ask for advice first, products second.** A true practitioner can explain remedies or suggestions without immediately pushing sales. - **Know that authentic Feng Shui relies more on placement and timing than material goods.** Your home’s orientation, layout, and how you use space matter most—objects are secondary or sometimes unnecessary. - **Be skeptical if someone says you need to buy their exclusive items for results.** Often, similar solutions are available or even unnecessary. In short: Your instincts are right. Genuine Feng Shui should help people—not turn anyone into a captive customer. Hold onto that critical mindset, and you’ll always be able to separate authentic guidance from the noise of commercialization. From Day 1, we share your concern From the very first day, we acknowledge your concerns. We will never offer you any products for sale! Numerous Feng Shui Masters operate as a Feng Shui Store in disguise. Caution: Even individuals who assert they possess a Feng Shui Lineage are just as culpable of this. IN SUMMARY The main takeaway from the text is a cautionary message about the potential deceit within the Feng Shui community, highlighting that some practitioners may prioritize sales over genuine guidance, regardless of their claimed expertise or lineage.

hi master, do the kids need to be around when we move in? Frankly, this is based on common sense For example if the children are schooling.. and if move in is on a weekday, poor excuse to ask children to absentee from school. Or if the children has an important exam etc... on that day.

Burn incense not compulsory right? (Newly TOP CONDO UNIT) Response: If you are non religious. no need. Anyway, if so, better check with them (Developers representative/facilitator/MA) where to burn. Because, outside the corridor of all unit lobbies got such thing as a smoke detector. If need to burn, then inside your unit and close doors. No need for most people. Other than the religious fanatic

Yes, Appreciate....

Yes, it is possible. Try to flush the table as close to the wall as possible to avoid debris dropping down the edge towards the God. As traditional enclosed altars have a backing behind it. And this does not have one.

Client just bought a Re-sale unit... paid a visit recently... Pilot Floor lights embedded into the flooring. Noticeable in the evenings...

Old Singapore 60 years ago The above video emphasizes the importance of rekindling childhood memories for elderly citizens, highlighting that such experiences can be beneficial for all Singaporeans, regardless of age. This connection to the past fosters a sense of community and shared heritage among generations. +++ SINGAPORE MILESTONE SYSTEM Singapore’s mileages along roads HOW MILESTONES WERE MAPPED Singapore’s milestone system was based on a simple principle: All measurements started from the **General Post Office (GPO)** at Fullerton (the “zero point” of Singapore). Here’s how the mapping worked: 1. Surveyors measured the distance from the GPO along major trunk roads. 2. Distances were measured in miles (during the colonial era). 3. At each mile mark—1 mile, 2 miles, 3 miles, and so on—a physical stone or concrete post was placed on the roadside. 4. These markers were used on key roads that radiated from the town center, especially those leading to rural areas, ports, and villages. 5. Maps, government documents, postal routes, and transport services used these milestones to identify locations before modern addresses were standardized. Because Singapore has a radial road system (city center in the south, roads branching outward north/east/west), this system worked efficiently. WELL‑KNOWN MILESTONED ROADS AND THEIR HISTORIC MILESTONES Some milestones are historically significant because they became neighborhood names or road junctions. Below are the most notable ones. 1. Bukit Timah Road milestones - This is the most famous milestone road in Singapore. • 1st Milestone – near Newton Circus • 4th Milestone – near Adam Road • 6th Milestone – gave rise to the modern area “Sixth Avenue” • 7th Milestone – King Albert Park area • 8th Milestone – Beauty World area • 10th Milestone – Bukit Timah Village (near today’s Upper Bukit Timah area) 2. Changi Road milestones - Used historically to identify kampongs and outposts. • 2nd Milestone – Geylang Serai area • 3rd Milestone – Joo Chiat / Katong area • 6th Milestone – Kembangan area • 9th Milestone – Bedok area 3. Serangoon Road milestones • 3rd Milestone – Potong Pasir area • 5th Milestone – Upper Serangoon (near Woodleigh) • 7th Milestone – Serangoon Gardens vicinity 4. Thomson Road milestones • 4½ Milestone – near old Thomson Village • 6th Milestone – AMK-Thomson area • 8th Milestone – Upper Thomson area 5. Other notable milestone references • “17th Milestone Jurong Road” – near old Boon Lay/Jurong villages • “12th Milestone Yio Chu Kang Road” – near Yio Chu Kang town center • “9th Milestone Upper Bukit Timah Road” – near Hillview • “14th Milestone Changi” – near Loyang/Changi Village WHY THESE MILESTONES MATTER TODAY • Some neighborhood names came directly from milestones (like Sixth Avenue). • Old maps, military documents, taxi drivers, and long-time residents still reference them. • They reflect how Singapore expanded from a compact city center into suburbs and new towns. ++ More recent Singapore Map of the 1970's

BY RANKING COMBINED PUNGGOL POINT COVE & TAMPINES GREEN GEM =========================================================== Note: Tampines Green Gem is represented by a "G" in front of the stack number e.g. G While Punggol Point Cove is with a "C" e.g. C1xxx 1ST CHOICE = Cxxxx Cxxxx Gxxxxx 2ND CHOICE = Cxxx Gxx Gxx 3RD CHOICE = Cxx Cxx Cxx Gxxx Gxxxx 4TH CHOICE = Cxx Gxx 5TH CHOICE = Cxx G1xxS G1xxx G1xxx 6TH CHOICE = C1xx G1xx G1xxx 7TH CHOICE = C1xx C1xx C1xx G1xx G1x G1xx G1xx G1xx Gxxx LAST RESORT = CV Cxxxxxx CVxxxxx Gxx GxxxABDEJT GxxxCKT GxxxxCDEH GxxABNPR GxxxAEKT GxxAJKT LEGEND: ======= A = Frontage suitable for Mr xxx & sss: (standing inside the living room facing either NE, NW, West or SW). However, this Compass School Feng Shui is not always the TOP priority as it only accounts for 30% out of 100% points. Thus don't be surprised that stacks/units that are suitable for Mrs = North, South, East or SE may even be ranked higher than these. B = Indirect afternoon sun all year round. Also depends on floor level and whether other blocks/stacks provide some needed shade. For GreenGem no issue for stack G189 as it is only to the service yard area which is considered no issue. Also no issue for Stacks Cxxx, Cxx and Cxx C = Afternoon sun may bathe the master bedroom wall. And hopefully on a sunny day, the heat does not ooze out in the evening making the bedroom very warm unless one can cool down the bedroom. D = Stack Gxxx has a direct view of the Bin Centre (PWCS) at 1st storey. While stack 111 also has a view of the Bin Centre (PWCS). E = Stack Gxxx has a distant view of the vehicle entry and exit of the covered carpark. Stack G157 also has another entry and exit point. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, this is less than ideal also. Most inauspicious is Stack G141 as it is at the immediate vicinity. F = Precinct Pavilion (PP): Directly below Stack Gxx is the PP. Higher units preferred. Plus expect prayers and religious ceremonies (noise) on some occasions. Gxxx & also Gxxx share the same concern, here. Really high floors is preferred. For stacks Cxxx and Cxxx must get high floors to compensate for excellent Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and no direct view especially for Cxxx of the internal of the PP and occasional funeral ... (if any). H = Expect some traffic noise. Higher floors preferred. J = In close proximity of the central rubbish bin. Not perfect but still not a major concern or issue, here. K = However for Stack Gxx & Gxx it is the closest as it is beside the central rubbish bin. thus best to avoid such a stack/unit. Stacks main door with a view of teh central rubbish bins: Gxx Gxx L = The bus bay close-by. Higher floor preferred to avoid noise of the buses stopping and moving off. M = Inauspicious for the Kitchen to be at NW. But especially for stack Gxx, it has good Shapes and Forms that can make this become a minor issue. N = Under symbolism and Poor Shapes and Forms Feng Shui as "curved" road into the stack/unit. High floors preferred for stacks Gxx & Gxxx. Stack Gxxx has no issue, here. P = Sharp corner of stack Gxx aimed towards stack Gxxx. Q = Athough there is no known problems with an Electrical Sub-Station (ESS). But it is more of a stigma of living in close proximity to the ESS. R = Stack Gxxx frontage partially blocked by stack Gxx and with partial view of the service yard area. Stack Gx by G111. Stack Gxx by Gxx. Stack Gxx by Gxx. Stack Gxx by Gxxx. Stack Gxxx by Gxxx. Not that critical. But a consideration that the unit is "sunken in". Sometimes also the reflective glare and partial look into the service yard especially from the Master bedroom window(s) if any. S = Expect around 3 years construction noise if the plot next to the development is being developed. Plus depending on how the blocks are laid, hopefully, it does not pose a poison arrow if any from their sharp corner towards this stack/unit. T = Main entrance door is in full view of the lobby lift(s). There is a stigma attached to such a situation. Actually more to do with common sense. For example, if the main door is opened, those coming in and out of the lift would often get a glimpse of the unit - more of a privacy concern. But if one always close the main door most of the time, is not that of an issue. This is why 1/2 hour fire rated doors are provided for each unit. In the unlikely event of a fire breaks out at such a unit, it does not spill into the lift lobby area. In a future resale, some may have a harder time selling such a unit = due to this stigma. U = No issue with morning sun. V = Close proximity to future temple and/or temple view. W = Unit main door side facing a long corridor. Fortunately, the corridor is not as long as those facing stacks Cxxx and xx which is in fact that of a straight path at the "turn" of a lift. While for stacks Cxx and Cxx there is a "gentle bend" that results in a slow down the sha qi. For example, it is not like stack #Cxx where this stack/unit is in full view once one turns right after getting out of one of the three lifts! Given that the unit has a commanding view of the eastern-direction of the sea, this long corridor is not a major issue as it has very good or excellent Shapes and forms Feng Shui.

To 191? Both is no.

This is the first HDB development in SengKang that has dry walls for the interior walls.
