  1. This contains no narratives. Just the full context: 1. The Traditional Chinese Guidelines or Common Practises 1.1 According to Chinese tradition, when there is a death in the family, specifically of a parent or grandparent, the usual practice is either to have a wedding within 100 days of their passing or to wait until 1,000 days later (about three years). 1.2 It is generally considered unlucky to get married while the family is still in mourning. This is why there is a short, 100-day window that allows such events to take place before entering a longer mourning period. 1.3 The above is the common practice or belief. 1.4 The key point is what the family considers an appropriate mourning period. 1.5 In modern times, many Chinese families no longer observe the traditional 1,000-day or three-year mourning period. 1.5.1 However, for those who strictly follow tradition, the family rules must be observed. 2. Today, as long as the individual and their family elders agree on a suitable mourning period, it is acceptable to hold wedding events after the mourning period has ended. 3. In conclusion: 3.1 Nowadays, many modern families prefer a more flexible approach, with some choosing a mourning period of three months to one year. 3.2 For longer mourning periods, couples who wish to get married should have a quick wedding within the 100-day window. Otherwise, they will need to wait until the mourning period is over. 4. Today's Modern Practical Alternative (Subject to individual family consensus) 4.1. Traditionally, there is a 100-day reprieve in which important events such as a quick wedding, moving in, or holding a housewarming can take place. 4.2. If the family chooses a short mourning period of 100 days, this entire time is considered the mourning period. During this period, weddings, moving in, or housewarmings should not be held. 4.3. These events can be arranged after the 100 days have passed. 4.4. This differs from the traditional practice, where the 100-day window is an exception allowing such events. Once this window closes, the mourning continues for 1,000 days or about three years. Robert Lee, Geomancy.net
  2. 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. Moving in is not an issue since it falls within the 100-day period. d. Regarding family members’ attendance: traditionally, this is not allowed, as it is beyond the 100-day reprieve. e. However, in modern times, it’s best to check with both partners’ parents. Some parents are quite flexible, while others follow strict Chinese traditional guidelines. 1. The Traditional Chinese Guidelines or Common Practises 1.1. The traditional Chinese custom when a parent or grandparent passes away is to either hold a wedding within 100 days of their death, or wait until 1,000 days later (about 3 years). 1.2. It is considered unlucky to get married while the family is still in mourning. Therefore, there is a short 100-day window that allows for weddings before the family enters the longer mourning period of 1,000 days or 3 years. Even a one-year mourning period is still regarded as a long time. 1.3. This is the usual traditional practice or belief. 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 no longer observe the traditional 1,000-day or three-year mourning period. 1.5.1 However, those who strictly follow tradition must observe this extended mourning period, as breaking it is considered bad luck. 2. Today, as long as the person and their family elders agree on a reasonable mourning period, it is acceptable to hold wedding events after the mourning period has ended. 3. In conclusion: 3.1 Nowadays, many modern families choose more flexible mourning periods, with some accepting a mourning period of three months to one year. 3.2 For longer mourning periods, couples who wish to get married should have a quick wedding within the 100-day window; otherwise, they must wait until the mourning period is over. 4. Today's Modern Practical Alternative (Subject to individual family consensus) 4.1. Traditionally, the 100-day reprieve allows time to carry out important events, such as a quick wedding, moving in, or a housewarming. 4.2. If the family decides on a short mourning period of 100 days, this entire time is considered the mourning period; so weddings, moving in, or housewarmings should not take place during this time. 4.3. These events should be held after the 100 days have passed. 4.4. This differs from the traditional practice, where the 100-day window is used to complete such events before entering a longer mourning period of 1,000 days, or about three years.

  3. 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?
  4. 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.
  5. 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! -:(

  9. Unfortunately, Many are alone These postings never seen the daylight: Never Approved / Never Published Forum Users are not interested in your home or the location of your altar :
  10. Case Study: Let's not waste each other's time posting such questions. (Unintentional.) Learn why? Often, unintentional. But don't make it a habit-:)
  11. 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....
  12. 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.
  13. Whenever there is a supply for these triangle plots; there will always be a demand by retailers. Sometimes, because of such irregular plots; some landlords can even give a better rental rate. Rental is one of the two major fixed costs for a retail outlet. Small Businesses are better to survive with lower overheads. Then immediately killed by a hefty one...

  15. Ok we got u. When we finalise will seek your advice. Many thanks in advance.
  16. Case Study 2: I must qualify that majority of the time (unfortunately) the "retard" is actually the person holding the Smart-phone compass taking readings. If one applies certain (proper) techniques, one can still squeeze out a reasonable reading out of the Smart-phone compass. He's holding a Chinese Luopan... but his stance is incorrect! Part of the blame lies with the sensitivity of the Smart-phone compass. For example the interior of a building / lobby / unit has many re-bars. And these reinforced-steel bars often affect the compass readings not just of Smart-phone compasses but also many other compass. Overall, the main blame goes to the person taking the readings. The Adage of: "A bad workman blames their tools". Here, who then is the retard? Thus please don't laugh at the Smart-phone totally!
  17. Case Study 1: Is the smart-phone one is holding really a SMART compass? or a Retard? Don't be mistaken for "gigolo". This is GIGO. G.I.G.O. How can you be so sure like this recent case that your compass readings are correct? If one uses the Smart-phone compass? In this example, the readings taken by the client was 33 degrees. The actual reading is 20 degrees! A whopping 13 degrees variance! Think again, if one thinks that just because it is a smart phone; the readings, here ain't too smart. In fact, a Casio compass watch readings (although) this watch is not a smart phone... can even beat the retarded smart-phone's compass anytime, anywhere. Here, the client's compass readings were off. And thought that the unit is not a North-South unit. As she suspected the Agent was only trying to get her to buy the unit. In fact, I collaborated to her that the Agent was actually correct as the unit was in-fact a North-South unit. Here, just because one has a powerful Smart-phone. Actually, that Smart-phone is prone to wrong compass readings. Continued... in Case Study 2...
  18. These are some considerations: 1. Frankly, what you wrote does not match each other. This is because "2,9,5, 7,4,9, 9,2,7" does not match a P8 N1 house. 1.1. A P8 N1 chart numbers looks like this:- 1.2 The saying: "A miss is as good as a mile" = A miss is as bad as a wide miss. And yes, both are misses. 2. The numbers you mentioned belongs instead to a N2 / N3 chart: 2.1. In addition, I am not sure if your compass readings are really correct also? 2.2. No offence but this common I.T. term: G.I.G.O. = Garbage In, Garbage Out. Simply garbage readings lead to garbage results. 3. You also wrote: "Is this a good house to stay? Or there are ways to rectify the bad stars?" 3.1 Here's a valid reply to your question: https://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage 3.2 Your question very much sounds like this:- 3.1 The rationale for a Triage? Shapes and Forms accounts for a whopping 70%. And the Compass School: Eight House and the wrong either the mixed-up of P8N1 or "2,9,5, 7,4,9, 9,2,7" accounts for only 30% of the total luck of a house.

  20. The other day, I caught a first glimpse of the artist's sketch. It was truly delightful to observe the distinct tower blocks and the block layouts. The developer's architects have done an exceptional job in positioning most blocks according to the site plan. It's a classic layout that brings a sense of familiarity and comfort. This results in a visually pleasing and cohesive appearance. A true reflection of the typical 1970's design philosophy... The traditional approach always involves a North-South orientation of the stacks within each block. This detail is often highlighted by many Agents as an added advantage in their unit listings. With uniform blocks, parallel arrangements, and individual tower blocks, each with a consistent Qi flow, the overall design is excellent! It is a better layout than the previous pre-enbloc arrangement.
  21. Ok!! Thank you sooooooo much Cecil for you valuable advice!! Really really appreciate it!! Have a wonderful Sunday and a great week ahead!!!
