Question: Hi Master Lee, I have to attend my friend's father wake tomorrow and this year pig year no good for me born in the yr of ?. Please help and advise me on what should I bring or take there. Thank you. Reply: 1. Place a gold coin or gold foil in your purse or handbag, if you have one. 2. Bring 2 or 3 lime leaves with you. As usual, remember to take a red string and discard the lime leaves before you reach home. Qn: Good morning, I only have a golden pig foil. Reply: Okay, can Qn: My friend told me to take 6 nails in pocket. Can work? Reply: Too fierce... already Qn: Ok ok. Then I better don't put. Reply: The most effective option is actually using a piece of gold. For men, the best place to keep it is in the back pocket. This allows others to see that the person is “sitting on gold.” For ladies, if wearing jeans and if possible, placing a gold piece works as well. Otherwise, use the method mentioned above.

Assumption: The interior layout plan has been drawn. 1. 1st visit = site visit plus obtain all family member's personal particulars and a layout plan. And obtain a copy of the proposed layout plan since it is available. 2. 2nd visit = after analysing and preparing a detailed Feng Shui report as shown in the earlier sample. Meet up to discuss. 3. In between can use email or whatsapp to discuss revision(s). Or up to you to the client for the 3rd visit at anytime.

The Visionaire has been given TWO Singapore AWARDS: 1. 2018's award for the poorest landscape planning! 2. And another: The poorest landscaping in a decade! Just a wish...for the architect/landscape designer... "Ok, ok, I will be more careful next time! " Facts: Who is the developer of The Visionaire? Qingjian Realty..... +++ Summary of Feedback on Safety, Landscaping and Design at The Visionaire I am writing as a concerned resident/visitor to share some observations about safety, landscaping, and design at The Visionaire. My intention is not to criticise for the sake of it, but to highlight issues that I believe affect safety, day‑to‑day usability, and the long‑term value of the development, and to suggest practical improvements. 1. Pathways and Circulation Concerns - Several pathways are narrow with tight 90‑degree turns, which are not very safe for: - Young children (especially ages 2–5), and - Elderly residents or anyone with mobility challenges. - There are unlevel surfaces and “many unlevel pathways and tight turns,” which increase the risk of tripping. - Some paths are too curved, affecting visibility and making it harder to see oncoming pedestrians, bicycles, or children. Impact - In my view, some of these areas feel like an accident waiting to happen, especially for toddlers and young families. - This may discourage residents from using certain walkways or from allowing young children to walk independently within the estate. Suggestions - Widen or re‑align narrow pathways where possible, and reduce sharp 90‑degree turns. [Too late - do take note for future projects] - Regrade or repair uneven surfaces to reduce trip hazards. [Install railings] - Trim or re‑design planting so that no more than a small, safe margin extends into pedestrian pathways. - Where redesign is not immediately possible, consider **clear markings, warning signs, or speed‑control measures** (for bikes/scooters) to improve safety. 2. Dangerous Edges and Railings Concerns - There is an angled railing pointing towards the pathway, creating a risk that someone could: - Trip and fall directly onto the sharp edge. - Sustain serious injury (head, face, or body) from impact. - Some **metal rails are sticking out along a narrow path, which: - Are not child‑safe, and - Visually protrude like a sore thumb. - There is an area where a stainless steel railing is clearly needed; the current configuration is both an eyesore and a potential fall hazard. Impact - These elements are particularly dangerous for children, who may run or play near these areas. - They also reflect poorly on the overall design quality and may eventually affect the **perceived value** of the development to Subsidiary Proprietors. Suggestions - Re‑design or cap sharp edges so that no pointed or protruding elements face pedestrian paths. - Where protruding rails cannot be relocated, consider: - Adding protective guards or cushioning; or - Rerouting the pathway slightly to increase clearance. - Install proper stainless steel railings where fall risks exist, following common safety standards for residential developments. 3. Bollard Lights and Signage Concerns - The estate uses square bollard lights tilted at about 30 instead of the more common rounded bollards seen in many other developments. - Combined with workmanship issues, the current design creates sharp corners and edges at a height that could: - Easily come into contact with children’s faces and eyes. - Some block signage is very low (“ridiculously short”), making it: - Less visible and - Potentially confusing for visitors and delivery drivers. - There are locations where a yellow warning line should be drawn to alert residents to potential hazards, but this has yet to be done. Impact - The sharp edges on bollard lights present a physical safety risk, especially to toddlers and young children. - Poorly placed or undersized signage can lead to confusion, sudden stops, or near‑misses involving vehicles and pedestrians. Suggestions - Review bollard light design and consider: - Replacing them with rounded or fully capped designs, or - Adding rounded guards to existing fixtures to eliminate sharp edges. - Adjust the **height and placement of block signage** so that it is clear and visible from typical approach angles. - Add **yellow warning lines and/or hazard markings** at all key risk points (e.g., steps, sudden level changes, or tight corners). --- 4. Guardroom Orientation and Staff Comfort Concerns - The guardroom faces the afternoon sun, leading to: - Prolonged exposure to heat and direct sunlight for the guards. - Visible signs of suntanning and potential long‑term eye/skin issues. - There is a concern that this may contribute to **faster onset of cataracts** or other health problems over time. Impact - Security officers are an important part of the estate’s safety and image. - Working in uncomfortable and potentially harmful conditions is neither humane nor sustainable. Suggestions - Install additional shading, such as extended canopies, louvers, sun films, or screens to reduce direct sun exposure. - Improve ventilation and cooling (e.g., fans or air‑conditioning where appropriate). - Consider re‑orienting or partially reconfiguring the guardroom in any future upgrade or major works. 5. Overall Design and Planning Issues Concerns - Taken together, the above issues suggest weaknesses in overall landscape planning and detailing. - You could say The Visionaire almost qualifies for: - 2018’s worst landscape planning award; and - Worst landscaping in a decade. - Key problems: - Design is not sufficiently user‑friendly, especially for toddlers and families. - Ad‑hoc fixes (e.g., odd bollards, protruding rails) give parts of the estate a makeshift or non-premium** feel. - There is a concern that these issues: - Lower the perceived quality and enjoyment of the development. - May affect property values for Subsidiary Proprietors in the long run. Suggestions - Conduct a comprehensive safety and usability audit of the estate, focusing on: - Child safety, elderly accessibility, and everyday circulation patterns. - Engage a landscape architect and safety consultant to propose: - A coherent set of improvements rather than piecemeal fixes. - Where practical, involve residents in feedback sessions so future changes align with actual usage and needs. 6. Closing and Overall Intent I hope the above feedback will be received in the constructive spirit in which it is offered. My main goals are to: - Prevent accidents before they happen, especially involving young children. - Improve everyday safety and comfort for residents, visitors, and staff. - Protect and enhance the long‑term value and reputation of The Visionaire. I would appreciate it if you could review these points and consider incorporating them into your upcoming maintenance or improvement plans. I

Congratulations! Just T.O.P. Paying a visit, soon.

Feng Shui Master (FSM): "Person or child plays lovely music?" Proud Mum: "Honestly unbearable! My hubby gets irritated by this!" FSM: "Don't want to sound cruel.. frankly this has more to do with common sense..then Feng Shui" Proud Mum: "Why?" FSM: "If child plays beautiful music, place the piano at a location so that the family can enjoy! But horrible music? Next to an opening such as a balcony opening.. and let the acoustics flow out of the house towards a neighbour's home" LOL Now you know why! LOL

Sounds familiar to yesterday's posting...... we have this saying in Chinese : "Catch no ball" . In hokkien is " Lia Bo Q".... LOL

Sorry, I think you forgot to attach something.... LOL Make a guess... "Something tells a thousand words".... without this the brain feels numb.. LOL...

Cross Island Line...

NKovan Food Centre Chai Chee Prawn Noodles A first for me! Using supermarket plastic bag sealer Wow who does this? Pride in their work! Neatly stacked cut-in-halves prawns... one of the tastiest prawn noodles around in Singapore

Further to the above: You wrote: “The current owner of the unit i buying. Then the owner place a very big mirror in the living room facing the vacant unit. “ Actually, in reality, the mirror still face the inner walls of the unit. Thus perhaps that unit’s sofa or living room area. Originally, I understood your statement as both unit’s door face each other. And the mirror was placed facing the vacant unit’s main door. This is usually the case. Especially with the use of a mirror above the door. Or a convex or flat mirror onto a bagua mirror. Or even a simple flat mirror above the door.

Thanks for posting the layout plan. At least now we know what is the actual situation. In my opinion, at this point in time, I strongly believe that the previous owners/tenant place the mirror usually to look at themselves before going out. And not to make like the home seems bigger. These are some of the considerations: 1. The 101 of Chinese Religious practices: “Secure the home!” 1.1 As you have not mentioned whether the main door or even the service yard/master bedroom windows have any protection facing out of the unit? 1.2 If so, this is the norm. Of how the home would be SECURED or protected from “evil spirits”. 2. By the time such a mirror; and if only this mirror is placed for protection... too late already! 3. Let’s say even if the mirror was meant for the resident’s protection, this may not be the proper thing to do. A mirror is often used by many Feng Shui Masters to “correct” a missing area”. For the above reasons, therefore I feel that the mirror is more for checking self before going out.

We need to start somewhere. Shall we start with this one...

This is one view point:- Accused: "What? You think this is 1940 in Nazi Germany or what? Crowd: "Who cares! Just Hang Him!" Subsidiary Proprietor (SP): "This makes my day!" LOL

Only the principal knows what they are talking (or writing) about.. Understanding how to avoid the mechanics of miscommunication... or "Catch no ball" For example: Under the current topic.. a photo is nice but still do not give the feel factor...

Lets hope not one of these:-

"Catch No Ball" LOL These are some considerations: 1. Under Compass School Feng Shui, the age of the development is taken into consideration in calculating the qi within the interior of the unit via Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. Nothing beats on-site to get a feel of the situation. As frankly, only you may know exactly what you are talking about. Without a proper Triage how to? Reference: https://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage 2.1. As after reading, the vacant unit is to the right left, facing your potential purchase unit. Or do you need to open the door then can see the unit. 2.2. Was the mirror placed there all along or recent etc.. Feng Shui Triage:

Actually the bedrooms/living room windows that face North [Stacks shown in White - with the exception of stack #23], will never get WEST sun. Learn why:- They get indirect EAST or rising sun or morning sun. This is fine by all accounts. Translated to "No major issue, lah!" By afternoon, no longer “hot, hot, hot”. How about me! Mine is Block 149A stack #23... "Let's pray that afternoon sun does not soak into the master bedroom wall. And equally, in the future, the empty plot to the left of my development has blocks that help to shield the wall..." Passer-By over-heard: "Hey! Whose going to pray for you! If you want, go pray by yourself!" LOL LOL LOL

Location: Near/beside Block 204C Compassvale Drive Unlike many other trees that hog the airspace... look how bright and airy the ground below the trees. Contrast this with trees like the mango etc... that makes the ground below it too yin! One can even look through the tree and see the other side clearly! As a tree with sap... no insects... no ants or termites would ever go near it! Even for mosquitoes... no where to hide! The frangipanni vs another tree with thick cluster of leaves:

Breaking News! The mastermind planner of this development finally caught! =================== Note: This is Fake News. ===================

Part 8: A total of six 2-room Flexi (Type 2) main entrance door has a view of one of the common bins. From my past experience, the outermost 2nd bins are most likely the recycle bins:- Stacks 506, 508, 526, 528, 560 & 562:- Frankly not serious but can be a stigma especially if either relatives, friends and even later outsiders who have a interest in the future to purchase a unit at Fernvale Vines.

Posting a Question? Next! Got it? Get it? LOL
