Case Study: A development such as this often has a bin centre. Often the bin centre is along the access road/main road. 1. For this development, the bin centre although is at basement 1, is in close proximity to Block 22. And the closest stack is #06. The other closest stack is #05. 1.1 Furthermore, often units next to the entrance / guard room very often are the last to be sold especially the lower floor units. (With the exception of heavily discounted pricing - touchwood.. this is often the last thing the developer wants!) Case Study: Each block also has shared common central rubbish bins on each storey. Before signing on the dotted line, always insists on looking at an actual block plan. 2. Thus I would ask the agent to obtain the block e.g. Block 22 and examine exactly where the common bin chute is. 2.1 I would personally not want to buy a unit with the bin chute just beside the main entrance of that unit. 2.2 Not only that after 5 years, some have a hard time selling such a unit. 2.3 Or if so may have to give further discount in order to clinch a sale (re-sale) of the unit. 2.4 Note: This is not from Rivercover residences EC. But a sample from ANOTHER development:- 2.5 In fact, should get a better layout with the exact block and each of the four units to understand the central rubbish bin. 2.6 Please be careful! Some developments like this one has TWO (2) yes! TWO bins. Often one bin is for common rubbish. And another can be for Recycling. 2.7 All new HDB flats taht T.O.P. recently are fitted with both a common and recycling bins. HDB can afford to place these two bins side-by-side. 2.8. But in an EC or condo, if two bins are needed; then often one could find each bin similar to that of the Hillion Residences at Bukit Panjang.

Flying Star Feng Shui Blocks 20, 22, 26 & 28 - Are N2 or S2 facing For the above blocks:- Stacks 01, 02, 07, 08, 11, 12, 13 & 14 have facing directions of N2 facing. Stacks 03, 04, 05, 06, 09, 10, 15 & 16 have facing directions of S2 facing. Do take note that some of these stacks may be afflicted by an issue of "Fire at Heaven's gate". Where kitchen may be at NW sector. Blocks 30, 32, 34, 36, 37 & 40 Are either NW3 or SE3 facing units

Case Study: Shapes and Forms (Symbolism) inFeng Shui and Rivercove Residences EC 1. It is remarkable how our brain perceive objects. If the site plan were to be placed as follows, don't you think this reminds one of a pistol? 2. On the other hand, if the site plan shown, below. One often recognises a sock or a boot instead (Remember Italy's boot?):- 2.1 For me, I can even visualise a third symbolism (A tick or a pass):- 2.2 The above symbol is easily recognisable. Thus, I don't need to mention it. It is an auspicious symbol. No need to create an auspicious 8 block plan like some developments. 2.3 I think the developer may even if reading this, use it to boost their sales? As they can finger ... a certain geomancer ... says this is a good sign.. hehehehe.. 2.4 Maybe future residents, here can do a GROUP BUY of...... Nike shoes! Hahahaha! Remember, can also chip me in on your group buy: Guys and Gals? 3. The good news is that the planners did a remarkable job in planning the ten (10) blocks in this development. 3.1. As well as each of these blocks are of the "proven" point-block type of flats. 3.2 A variant of those mid-1970's HDB 5 bedrooom type of blocks. 3.3 These blocks are considered safe design as this allows qi (chi) to circulate more evenly throughout each block even if each of the 5 blocks have a siamese twin (not stuck together) but a small gap between them is acceptable, here. 4. The only slight concern is Block 32's close proximity to Block 26. Where Block 32's stack 21, 22 and 23 may have poison arrows (IF ANY) aimed towards Block 26's stack 11, 12 or 13 (IF ANY). Those looking at Block 26 stacks 11, 12 or 13 should be more concern of this consideration (IF ANY).

Case Study: Confirming the accuracy of the sales brochure with actual street map from onemap.sg or Can I rely on the sales brochure site map's accuracy? 1. Blocks 30 to 40 runs parallel with the site, I have taken the liberity to first do an initial check with onemap.sg:- 2. Blocks 30, 32, 34, 36, 38 and 40 seems to be facing either 333 degrees = NW3 or SE3 (153 degrees). I took a copy of the sales brochure and independently ploted the compass directions: 2. The good news is that the actual Sale brochure compass directions shows 150 degrees and 330 degrees respectively. 3. Thus there is only a small tolerance of 3 degrees difference. Here the earlier onemap shows 153 and 333 degrees respectively. 4. These degrees are well within the comfort margins of either a NW3 or a SE3 compass directions. 5. This means a high confidence level with these readings. And the compass readings on this sales brochure can be trusted. 6. In this development stacks 17. 18, 23, 24, 27, 28, 29, 30, 33, 34, 39 & 40 face NW3 facing direction. 6.1. While stacks 19, 20, 21, 22, 25, 26, 31, 32, 35, 36, 37 & 38 face SE3 facing direction.

This is what your potential new home looks like and it's surroundings in the 1954 colonial map of Singapore:- In 1954, there was a road known as Jalan Tongkang Pechah. What remains of the road was demolished. And today, part of this road is within Seletar Springs condominium. Why was this road named: "Jalan Tongkang Pechah?" In the past, Sungei Punggol or the banks of this river was the remains of broken tongkangs. Thus the name Tongkang = boat and pechah = broken in Malay. Today, the last Kampong in Singapore is still there. But perhaps in a decade or two.. maybe no more. This is also how HDB Buangkok Edgeview gets it's name. As in the past, see map, there is a road : Lorong Buang Kok where this development resides today.

Have you ever explored the historical background of Balestier Road? Novena MRT & Novena Square were previously located on a Jewish cemetery. Alternatively, Balestier Hill Shopping Centre used to occupy a Chinese cemetery. Novena Church was constructed on the site of a former Chinese monastery. Here is a map of Singapore from 1954: - Presently, Kamgpong Chia Heng road has been replaced by Irrawaddy Road, which now connects Balestier Road directly to Thomson Road. Next to the former Thomson Road Police station stands the Thomson Medical Centre. Novena MRT and Novena Square were once located on a Jewish cemetery, while Balestier Hill Shopping Centre was built on a Chinese cemetery. Additionally, Novena Church was constructed on the site of a former Chinese monastery. This information is based on a 1954 map of Singapore.

Did you know or (for those staying around the area) that between Frankel Estate and Opera Estate is a muslim cemetry? Let's transport ourselves back in time and towards the year 1954:- Then the cemetry was called Mohammedan cemetry. In today's map, it is still shown simply as a muslim cemetry. The cemetry is still there today! And it is south of Flamingo Valley condo and to the west of Elite residences. Counting from 1954, the cemetry is at least 60 years or more. Today, Siglap Road joins Fidelio street to give Opera Estate additional roads leading to and from the estate. In the past, as Opera Estate was at low ground, it was prone to flooding many years ago.

Singapore Map 1954: Showing Tanjong Rhu, former Kallang Airport, former Happy World Park and Geylang A glimpse of old Singapore in 1954. Particularly significant is that Tanjong Rhu / Marina South has not been reclaimed then. In addition, Nicol Highway was non-existent in 1954.

Hi Robert Noted with great thanks. Again, appreciated your prompt reply in my every doubts. Thank you very much. Cheers!

Personally, I have been to your Block/stack a few times when the development had T.O.P. Although it is right next to ____ and a ____ near the project, frankly, these aren't exactly next to your block/stack. However, there is always a bias or stigma associated especially if they have not been to your development and simply read your posting.

The Site plan of Parksuites

In 1966, Northwave EC would have been off Ulu Sembawang Road. And really on no man’s land. The Chang Pang Village is to the east of this plot.

You can’t! But try to wage a war every quarterly! And hope for the best!

This is how the plot of land Grandeur Park Residences sits on. It is midway between Upper East Coast Road and East Coast Road. The major roads are still recognisable today. Including Tanah Merah Kechil Road. Oops! Directly North at 1 O’clock is a Chinese cemetery. To Grandeur Park’s five-o’clock are two cemeteries (1960’s) Chinese and Muslim:-
