A recent exercise on the ranking of the Five and Four bedroom types at La Fiesta condominium at Sengkang Somehow, there is limited (facing) choices for Five and Four bedroom types in this development. And "unfortunately" these larger stacks/units face the direct afternoon sun (not much choice thou) unless one seriously considers downsize to 3 bedrooms or 2 bedrooms. Which may not be possible for those who want larger unit types. Thus, a ranking exercise was done specifically for 5 and 4 bedroom types, here.

Thanks for your photo. These are some of my comments (Please see attachment): 1. I assume that the region surrounding marking in purple "A" is an opening. (Most likely the car porch of sorts). 2. If the entire purple rectangular bordering purple marking "A" is an open space, then; 2.1. Next, if the main door follows roughly the "thick Yellow" line and e.g. within the GREEN box; then without a doubt, there is no running away that the lamp post is slicing towards the main door.

Avoid an altar within the GREEN zone. Please refer to attachment. In general, the idea is that it is "bad manners" for an altar to "look into" the home i.e. bedrooms /toilets etc... While earlier marking in RED, Position E can be defined as looking inwards, but as it is placed close to the windows, this implies or hope that the deity should be (more respectful) and look out of the window (implied).

These are some considerations: 1. Not sure what you mean by RC wall? 2. Please refer to attachment: 2.1. In general, from a Chinese custom point of view, it is agreeable that the best altar position is at marking in RED "A". As per your suggested Option 1. 2.2. Other viable locations are:- 2.2.1 Next best locations by ranking are eithermarking(s) B, Y or C. 2.2.2 But for those who may like to select either marking B or C may have some long term side-effects. As there were some earlier studies where if one were to constantly light joss sticks, the fumes would often flow into the various bedrooms. And if there is an elderly or children in the various bedrooms; long term exposure is not that healthy. 3. Marking Y is if the original wall is not knocked out. And to make sure that behind the altar, there is no oven or stove or any such objects. 4. Stove position if the altar is at Option 1: there are two considerations: 4.1. In common sense Feng Shui, some say that it is not good to let the stove face an opening. One of the reasons is because, our eyes are not at the back, and in some Feng Shui literature, some say that a person could just walk (sneak) up to the person cooking and give a "fright" to the person cooking. 4.2. Symbolism in Feng Shui. Did one see the range highlighted in YELLOW. Only if the study room has been converted into a bedroom. And if the bedroom door faces the stove. It symbolises that the person sleeping in that bedroom may get a fever or have health concerns. If it is not a bedroom, not a concern, here. 5. A last resort for the altar at marking E means that any tv or hifi speakers should not be too close to the altar. Plus, if an altar is at marking E or D; make sure that there is no direct sunlight e.g. the east sun or the west setting sun rays shining towards the altar top. 6. In general, marking in RED "A" is considered as a good choice except that a shoe cabinet should not be constructed at the base or bottom of the altar. If one is prepared to change the kitchen door to marking X. There are some other plus points for the kitchen door at marking in purple "Y"; but this has more to do with common sense which I will not relate, here.

1. Please note that this area is no hocus pocus. 2. It is strictly based on the Five Elements concept AND? 3. For example, there is a difference between a person who is a WEAK FIRE person vs a STRONG FIRE person. 4. Of course if one is a weak fire person; the his/her beneficial element or colours are Wood (Green, brown or wood tone) and Fire (Red, pink or purple). 4.1. IF one is a STRONG fire person, then, common sense under the Five Elements concept is that one should not have additional FIRE (Red, pink or purple). Water element is favourable for that person. 5. If you are into DIY, you have to understand the concept of the Five Elements. 6. As you can see from the above: A person with Para 4 can use fire element. While a person under Para 4.1 should stay clear of it. 7. This forum is not a spoon feeding session. As this concept is as mentioned, not rocket science. It is pure and simple based on the Five Elements concept. 8. You have to differentiate between being either STRONG or WEAK under Ba zi and five elements concept. 9. In a DIY environment like this, it is best that you go and research further for your own good. 10. As I mentioned earlier, if one is a fire person, one should find out if he/she is a strong or weak fire element person. And the favourable colours are not the same for a weak vs a strong person.

As each of us have our own birth-chart. (The date we were born) Even for a home or an apartment: it also has it's own birth-chart. (A home can be classified as belonging to one of the periods. Thus brand new homes completed recently are Period 8 (between 2004 to 2023). When selecting the best colour scheme for a room. For example, in the attachment. The bedroom is located at West. And it is called bedroom 3. Here, the Flying Star chart is plotted to reveal what is the preferred colour for that room. And if a child or two children are to occupy it; then the earlier colour chart for an individual child or a combined both children's chart are considered in addition to the attached preferred colour for say bedroom 3.

The attachment is used as a guide for the colour scheme for e.g. a bedroom to be occupied by either Son 1 or Son 2 or if both happen to sleep in the same bedroom. This is known as applying Ba Zi (colour)Feng Shui.

These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion, most likely you are referring to the Eight House or 4 Good/4 Bad directions concept. 2. If, so It is good that you take a three step approach to understanding this concept before jumping the gun: http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach 3. In the sample attachment; please take a look at the South-East sector chart. 3.1. One will notice that 6 family member's eight house chart is collected in a "yellow" box. And only Pers D shows death at that sector. 3.2. It can't be that a specific sector is like what you mentioned "the death area" unless all two teenage children have the same type of Eight House chart. 4. In Feng Shui, and Ba Zi Feng Shui, often one's favourable colours are used as "a balance" to try and harmonise the bedroom to one child or a combination of both depending if they sleep together.

In my opinion, presenting a gift has no direct correlation to the person's favourite colours:- 1. One consideration has more to do with one's culture or taboo. 1.1. For example, for the Chinese, it is considered very inauspicious to give someone a clock or a bell as a present. As this is like a "death wish". 1.2. Chinese also don't like giving others a pair of shoes. 2. Thus, it depends on individual cultures and taboos. Thus, I am sure that perhaps, your own culture do have certain taboos (if any). 3. In addition, some Chinese consider white as associated with "death". And often, any traditional customs or practises means giving someone wrapped in red is better. For example, during Chinese New Year, Red Hong Bao (red packets) filled with e.g. $10 notes are given to loved ones or their children. 4. For the Chinese, only at a wake do we hand over a white envelope filled with some money to the relative of the deceased! 5. Therefore, it has more to do with individual's own culture and perceptions. 6. Thus if one has a Chinese girl friend; giving a present wrapped in pure white paper to some may end up getting a tight slap! 7. Again different cultures, different views. Traditionally, Chinese wedding costumes are red in colour. As red is considered a very auspicious colour. 7.1. While for the west, white signifies purity e.g. a white wedding glown. Since white wedding dress is a common thing, and many Chinese are influenced by western culture, this is largely acceptable. But not otherwise.

These are some considerations: 1. Applying Flying Star is about looking at the big picture. First. 2. Where are the openings vs e.g. the plotted pie chart to see where qi most likely flow into the home or that sector. This forms the key ingredient in later seeing whether a cure can be put into place if any. 3. Frankly, I can't comprehend this statement: "The five element analysis (mountain vs water) result in earth 5 (inauspiciou) and" (?????)

These are some considerations: 1. Photo did not show out. 2. Please note that if the storm drain(s) are not covered; it also depends on the facing direction of the home. As this makes a difference if water should flow from right to left or left to right if it is "passing" thru the frontage.

In my opinion, one can or may use a combination of : 1. Virtual water + activity: 1.1 Since this is the living room area; and if there are pocket(s) of opening e.g. When at home, try to see if it is possible to have such openings. For example, if the main door has an extra grille gate; can lick it and open the main door partially. 1.2 Continue to have activity at the living room area. 2. The most common advice is that of placing a water feature to activate the #8. Since this is the living room, it is/may be possible this year. 2.1. You have to make extra effort to properly understand the Five element concept. As other than the base star; water is good to reduce or negate 7 and 2.

Which is more important? Shapes and Forms vs Flying Stars. Or rather which takes precedence over the other?

IT IS NICE-TO SIT IN A GOOD SECTOR IT IS EQUALLY NICE-TO SIT FACING A GOOD DIRECTION BUT IT IS NOT A MUST-DO!

These are some considerations: 1. Frankly, after scanning through your message; I feel that there is something a-miss here. 2. For example, it seems to me like that you may be confused with "facing a good direction" and in a "good or bad sector". 3. I am sure that your department or section is given a space of sorts. It is not like or seems not possible that your department occupies the entire floor and then you get to choose having your workstation at either e.g. North PART of the building or SW PART of the building. 3.1. If so, then, you should try to seat in a GOOD SECTOR. If you are a west group then you should try to move to the NW or SW or NE or West part of the building. 4. But to me, it sounds like the space is within a certain sector of the premises. And for example if your department is at say SE part of the floor; then often, if this is a small area, it does not make sense to divide this space into N, S, E etc... 5. Thus what I suspect is: one should not confuse the above with facing direction = sitting facing a good direction. 6. Logically the next question is: Is your new workstation (pretty permanent) as it is? I know must people cannot tell how long their department may occupy that space. But some departments seldom change AREA(s). 6.1. But if it is confirmed that every year, you get to play musical chair(s) for your work station; then logically by all means, select the best sector for that YEAR. 6.2. Otherwise, just imagine, if one is STUCK at a seat (workstation). And if one is so myopic and just look at that year in question. And perhaps, a year, later, regret that the annual stars have changed. 6.3. Personally, I have my own work room. And for me, I really "can't be bothered" where Tai Sui is yearly. That is my thinking. How can those with a Fixed room place their workstation on somekind of a revolving platter? This year, face the door, next year, backside face the room door. How ridiculous can this be? 7. In life there is no such thing as 100% perfect. 8. To me, I feel that if our personal "Human or man luck" factors are strong, this can transcend over even Earth Luck (or Feng Shui). 9. If possible on a micro level: 9.1. Try if possible to face a good direction especially : Prosperity and or Excellent or none of these, Heath or Longevity sector. 9.2. If applying the Eight House theory, if given the last resort: face Death or Disaster sector; then better to face "Irritation or Spoke" then earlier (Death or Disaster). 10. In theory it is nice to seat in a good SECTOR and also nice to have (if possible) facing a good sector. Please note the word: NICE-to and not a MUST-do or die do it.

My home has the same spelling as other HOMES. So, please tell me WHY, I always have the WORST damned LUCK as compared to my neighbour next door. I am unable to get out of the vicious cycle of poverty loop! Worse still, every ANAL (sorry) I mean ANNUAL stars brings me further BAD LUCK!

Hey! Not all homes have the same Feng Shui! Drawing a parallel, I am not trying to boast! But, please look at me as a BILLIONAIRE! Like a billionaire, I have lots of spare change! For me, what is there to be scared of the annual stars! This year, next year? 20 Years later maybe! Unlike maybe another home. That "suffers" from poverty! I believe for such homes, a tiny breeze can even blow away these homes! So, please don't come and "place fear" in me! Or threaten me... with changing stars! In the first place: please ponder over this first: The forms (superior Shapes and Forms) determine the stars and afterwards, the stars then determine the luck of the house. As a "billionaire" I can affort to select the best SPOT with superior Shapes and Forms. Like steroids, to boost my Feng Shui luck to the maximum! Go find some "cheap talk" on annual stars, elsewhere. Note: Please note the above is just a fun way of illustrating a point.... no offence intended!

These are some considerations: 1. It is sometimes good to look at past history and drawing a parallel from the 20 Year Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. I remembered clearly. The year was 2003. One year before the 20 year flying star period changes. 2.1 During that time, the most affected homes and apartments are those where especially the water wealth star #8 (WS#8) fell into the centrepoint of homes. 2.2 At that time; the most significant are apartments that had water star #8 falling in the centrepoint. 2.3 And many homes that require (help) S.O.S. at that time or called for Feng Shui help were those that had this were NW (NW2 and NW3) facing apartments. 2.4 During that time between the beginning of 2003 to even till end of December 2004; I could recall, receiving numerous calls for "help"! 2.5 I would say is your facing direction NW? And some who know how to determine the facing direction inadvertently said : YES! 2.6 You judge for yourself. Isn't it too coincidental? 2.7 As majority of such homes are apartments (NW2 and NW3), most of the layouts are pretty enclosed or trapped. 2.7.1 Thus when water star #8 falls into this area; it is like wealth luck suddenly trapped and very difficult to activate. 2.7.2 Some even call this dark period of their lives = small or little or no luck. And some geomancers even suggested placing a water position if POSSIBLE. 2.7.3 But, even so one could hardly squeeze out the "small" luck. 2.7 To-date as we are more than half-way point to the next period 8 (2023 to 2043); Such NW2 and NW3 apartments seem to have their fair share of good and bad. Not like what was faced during their "dark days between 2003 to 2004". 3. Back to your question. 3.1. I have to say "IT DEPENDS!" 3.2. Earlier, I have posted a real life example of how a client's office cum factory was affected by high rejection of their products due to production problems. In their office layout, the centrepoint has clear space and just roughly a month before Chinese New Year, their woes begun. 3.3. For example, there are not only different facing directions and periods. 3.4. One has to consider: 3.4.1 Shapes and Forms Feng Shui such as the interior layout. (And of course how superior or inferior is the external environment). 3.4.2 Glance thru the 20 Year Flying Star in relation to the Yearly stars. 4. As I had previously mentioned in the past. Many homes are not identical even if your layout is identical; your apartment or home can be separated by a wall or on different ground. 5. Again, in the past, I had mentioned that some homes are like unpolished gem. While others are already below par; such that before one applies Feng Shui, the car is like a 10 year old run down 1,000cc car! 6. So, which home can best buffer itself from the "thunderstorm". 6.1. Of course, the home that has the best buffer and reserve. But a home which is already like a 10 year run down 1,000cc car, cannot afford to have further breakdowns! 6.2. Thus, you cannot just say that all homes will be expected to face similar problems. Some don't even feel the tremor! 6.2.1 While some with just the wrong annual stars would be in deep shit; as soon as the annual stars become strong. 6.3. Thus for some homes or offices, a month before the change of annual stars (by Lunar day); such homes are affected by it. 6.4. While some homes because of it's borderline buffer may be affected after Chinese New Year. 7. Therefore, one must truly do a proper Triage, first. It is just like modern science. 7.1 For example nowadays, some tests can even detect whether one has certain cancer genes. And take some precautions, if any. 8. We cannot just simply fit all homes/offices into one simple glass. 8.1 And then, if it happens that we are observing or trying to work on that home; find that our fears may be unfounded. 8.2 How come, the tsunami did not arrive at that home? One is thus considered barking at the wrong tree and not opening our eyes wide enough.

A relationship is about give and take. Sometimes it is wiser to take more and give less or is it the other way? For a relationship to be successful; there must constantly be a single aim: for richer for poorer in health as in....

As I am a starfish, my main motive of learning Flying star(s) is so that I can fly in the sea!

Usually the advise is to open both eyes before marriage and close one eye after marriage. Erh... how about changing it to: "close both eyes after marriage... oops... #@%$^^^^&&"

Look Ma! A starfish trying to learn the ancient art of Flying Star Fung Sway!

A. Chinese Astrology (Chinese Horoscope/Zodiac Signs) www.lovesigns.net (Based simply on one's year of birth) 1. Many years ago, before the birth of the internet and hyperlinks; there were many books on Chinese Astrology or commonly also called Chinese Horoscope/Animal Signs or Chinese Zodiac Signs. 2. Then, up to 1980's many books on the above can be found on bookshelf stores. 3. And many share the same guidelines as found under my Chinese Astrology site called: http://lovesigns.net 4. Under the above site; you can find your compatibility: http://www.lovesigns.net/horoscope/acompare/acompare.htm B. Ba Zi Analysis of Compatibility 1. The input required for each individual are: Year, Month, Day and if possible Hour of birth. 2. A pillars of destiny or Four Pillars chart is constructed and analysed in relation to compatibility of he two partners. C. What are the differences between the two methods used? 1. Looking at compatibility based on Chinese Astrology is like taking an X-ray and trying to figure out the chart on a lighted clip board. 2. Ba Zi Analysis is akin to Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or also known as nuclear magnetic resonance imaging (NMRI) or also known asmagnetic resonance tomography (MRT). 3. Thus, Para A. Chinese Astrology is akin to the technologies of early science while Ba Zi is a more sophisticated method. No point giving me individual birth dates. This is only a free general advice forum. And not a someone do it for you forum.
