Part 2 - Good Shapes and Forms Feng Shui & Common Sense. Did you instinctively choose these stacks? 1. I am sure, one look at the site plan and many of us would logically or instinctively go for these stacks/units:- 2. Two major advantages: a. Sea view b. Morning sun. Therefore no afternoon sun.

Part 2 - What is a large BIN CENTRE (BC) doing in today's era BTO? 1. In the past around 1990's each HDB neighbourhood has a BIN CENTRE each. And each day, the cleaners would go to each block and their predefined rubbish chutes. Transport the rubbish to the centralised bin centre. The rubbish bin truck would go here and pick up the day's trash. 2. Today, each block has a centralised bin centre. The rubbish truck simply reverses, "lock-on" to the mechanised bin and off-load the rubbish into the truck. 3. Hey! Why then is it doing at HDB Punggol Point Woods? 4. Naturally, besides a unit close to a shop house, this bin centre is another consideration to stay clear away + view from unit (where possible). 5. In this development, the architect has neatly placed the centralised rubbish bin lobby hidden beside the 3rd lift within the lift lobby. 5.1. By doing so, no unit will be disadvantaged by having it's main door facing the bin lobby or one has to walk-pass the bin lobby towards the unit. Kudos! 6. And nowadays, several HDB estates have rubbish transported 80kmph underground to collection points. What happened, here? 7. A recent BTO development launched in November 2018 has labelled their bin centre as "Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System or PWCS" This makes sense as to why there is now a huge bin centre at HDB Tampines GreenGem BTO = Part 5: Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System or PWCS is another consideration when trying to select a "choice" unit.

Part 2: In 1966, good news is that HDB Yishun Glen would have been located on vacant virgin plot of land = Good. 1. This site would have part of Sungei Khatib Bonsu (river) running at the middle splitting this plot into half:- 2. Today, Sungei Khatib Bongsu has been redirected such that the head of this river is the Yishun Pond running towards the sea. 2.1. South of Yishun Pond is the SAFRA Yishun. And to the SW is the Khoo Teck Puat Hospital:- 3. Good news is that the present day HDB Yishun Glen BTO sits on literally virgin land. No cemetries or nearby markets. 4. Under Shapes and Forms, this is a good starting point. 5. I measured the distance between this plot to the nearest shore-line is less than 5 km distance away = Lower Seletar Reservoir / road leading to Seletar West:- 6. Together with it's neighbours such as Blossom Spring... the area is just several kilometres away from the sea = a breathe of "fresh air".

Today's modern alternative: 1. Instead of using the 100-day window to quickly hold events like a wedding, moving in, or a housewarming, 2. If the family agrees to a short mourning period of 100 days, then this entire period should be dedicated to mourning. Do not get married, move in, or hold a housewarming during these days. 3. These events should be held after the 100 days have passed. 4. This differs from the traditional practice, where the 100-day window was an exception for such events. Once that window closed, the mourning period continued for 1,000 days, or about three years.

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

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.

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?

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.

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! -:(

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....

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.

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...

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!
