Part 2: Common sense 1. A reason why regular retail shop preferably have a more rectangular shape is to deter or prevent shop-theft. 1.2 Here, the owners want to be able to control or be able to monitor their goods... 3. Go check out MOS burger or many MacDonald outlets; they also take up sites that are equally irregular. 4. Thus in my opinion: how can one look at it and say: “One size fits all, matters?”

Part 1: These are some considerations: 1. One can still maximise and apply Feng Shui techniques. 2. Have you been to many other coffee shops such as Starbucks and many other chains. Their designs also work around odd or irregular spaces. 2.1 In fact, to be honest: personally if I meet clients at coffee shops or cafes: often I will try to find a seat that is at a unique or or corner especially if it is on it’s own and furthest from any other tables for added privacy. 2.2 If a cafe is rectangular in Shape; I often hoped that the tables are quite a distance apart. Else 2.3. If a cafe is rectangular in shape; often we may find ourselves surrounded with tables and chairs. Less privacy especially for me when we have to discuss... 3. There are so many of such outlets that were given no choice: Starbucks Waterpoint Punggol, Starbucks Hougang Mall etc.. 4. Thus, for such an industry it is perfectly okay not to work within a perceived type of area.

Part 3: How the site looks like in 1966 on a streetmap Interesting to note that there was a Kampong Bugis nearby to the present site.

Part 2: Please note that the compass readings from the Sales Brochure DOES NOT match those from streetdirectory.com :- A. Based on the Sales Brochure: Flying Star Feng Shui of Kallang Riverside: This development has units that either face NW3 or SE3 directions. B. However, when I took the readings from the streetmap the Flying Star readings now become N1 and S1 respectively. C. Unfortunately, onemap which uses the government data.sg map will not show the profile of the block until T.O.P. Else, one could use this map with high confidence. D. Currently, I would tend to trust the streetmap more than the Sales Brochure based on past experience. Note: Based on my previous workings, I found this development faces either N1 or S1. Thus the North marking found on the sample layout is wrong, despite the Siteplan from sales brochure is okay. Thus I would ignore Para A. above.

Part 1: Reference and resource Floor plans of Kallang Riverside:

In my opinion, This area has more to do with symbolism in Feng Shui. Thus if the light(s) does not look threatening.. the no issue. Lights that are above the head or glaring has more to do with common sense that’s all.

These curved rooflines are not a threat as they are not aimed towards any unit

A foreign workers in Woodlands. The bike ranks are meant for larger wheel bicycles. This dorm has rows and rows of such bicycle ranks. With the ability to cater for at least 500 bicycles or more!

A 2007 streetmap shows that the site was formerly an enbloc development called Rainbow Mansions: Although the site is directly above a fork road of Grange Road and Chatsworth Road; there is no significant Shapes and Forms issue.

Under Shapes and Forms: A single “point-block design is a safe design. As it allows Qi or wind to flow around it.

At time of writing.. no site plan or floor plans available, yet. Last checked on 21 August 2018... the descriptions of bedroom types and even an artist impression is available. Otherwise... hmmm

Part 5 - A close look at Sale Brochure Site plan features and functional areas in the development 1. Red flags are tareas such as the location of the Bin Centre, Substation and Emergency Backup Generator Set 1.1. A unit close-by to a Bin Centre is a no-no. Even overlooking or have a view of the Bin Centre is the last thing one should consider. 1.2. Although there is no concrete evidence of the effects of living close to a substation; however, there is a strong stigma attached by many that it is inauspicious to live next to or close to a substation. Since this is the case, why give yourself the unnecessary concern. It may also affect the subsequent resale value of the unit. 1.3 This is a huge piece of equipment: the size of a shipping container (1 or 2). Often, it is placed at a distance away from the blocks. Rarely used. But they do test this equipment once in a while. Here, the fumes from the burning of diesel oil can be smelled.. 2. Are you addicted to BBQ smell. Or love the aroma of BBQ or cooking smells. If so, it is a happy marriage. But many prefer not to have a unit close-by to this. As the smell can last quite long especially the winds blow into one's unit. 2.1. For privacy issues, many would prefer to not purchase a unit facing or beside a BBQ , Cooking or Dining pavilion. Here, invited guests or activities may disturb our privacy. And such pavilions may be a magnet for ants etc... 3. Children's play area incorporating: Children's playground, BBQ pavilion, wet play area and kid's pool with water spouts. 3.1. Some want a quiet weekend and on public holidays. If you are the kind who likes serenity; then best to stay clear of units facing and even up to 8th storey high near to such places of activities. 3.2 However, if you love such sounds.. go ahead.. make your day.. not mine or ours...

Flying Star Compass Readings. As Block 35 follows the profile of the road, one way is to take protractor readings based on this alignment: Compass readings based on the actual block profile:
