Hey! They are two different paintings... BUT what is your interpretation of each of the paintings? Mine are......

Hey! I am just as bad.. just that I am READY TO POUNCE ON YOU! Which is more deadlier... my other cousin who shows his back-side to you or ME???

Under symbolism in Feng Shui; what is worse are:- 1. A tiger growling, seems hungry; all it's fangs wide open... and worse off all... 2. Showing it's back-side to you! Do you think that this is an auspicious or inauspicious painting? Suitable for MY HOME?

Erh... no one swimming during Chinese 7th month..?

Yesterday, when I was at the Caspian. What is so special about yesterday? It is the 2nd day of the Chinese 7th month. In stark contrast to the earlier photo.... even at 10am... not even a single SOUL collected their keys to their apartment in Caspian condo. (Refer to earlier photo and this one)...

These are some considerations: 1. One question that is relevant here is : "Can I rewind time or go back to the past to change things?" 2. As at today, it is impossible to go back to the past. 3. Same, thing, here. You can't 4. The concept: The Three-Step-Approach 4.1. This concept of house number belongs to the branch of Feng Shui called : Compass School of Feng Shui. 4.2. This sub-branch is based on Flying Star Feng Shui. But because each different levels are considered to have different qi; it is literally known as VERTICAL Flying Star Feng Shui. 5. It is more useful for someone who is looking at a new development and where the units are just launched. And one can try to select a unit from such and such a stack. 5.1. Thus, this concept becomes useful if say: #11-88 vs #12-88 vs #6-88 are available. Which is better. 6. But if you have already bought the home, it is like what I had mentioned under Para 1 to 3 above. 6.1. Even if you point a gun at a geomancer and give you solutions; he/she can't. Other than to advise you to apply common sense and one approach is: The Concept of Maximizing Marks 7. Thus under Feng Shui there are available tools: Compass School: Eight House and Flying Star of the interior (plotting the stars, analyse them and providing cures or enhancements. 8. "Don't give me that look!" Even if one were to so stupid as to bang one's head against the wall; good luck to YOU! What can I do? Refer to Para 6.1!

Yeah! You should print us ... out... THREE is better than ONE!

During the Chinese 7th month; some people are superstitious... And often, in modern times.. during a conversation... one may jokingly asked another to "PRINT THIS AND PASTE IT ON ONE'S BACK"

Aloe Vera originates from North Africa. And some even call it "The Mother of all Miracle Plants!" Aloe vera is very popular as it is called the Elastoplast or a First Aid buddy. Thus it is used if one has cuts or even insect bites or even as a sun-block (sun-screen). It is also popularly used in skin care, shampoos and even as a refreshing drink that holds chunks of aloe vera. In ancient times, in Egypt, it is one of the ingredients or items used for embalming! Do be careful, if you walk along Kovan Road... as the owner of the home has planted a whole garden full of Aloe Vera plants both in his garden as well as this field of five-foot-way grass verge!

Location: Highland Road, private apartment complex main gate An intricate main gate with the rose (floral) theme...

To the left of the earlier bungalow is now a private apartment building. The only thing left of the bungalow is the pillar and benches outside of the property..

This iconic 1950's bungalow will soon be torn down. (Upper Serangoon Road / Kovan area) The bungalow is sitting on around 10,000 sq ft of land. And the land will be developed into a small private condo/private estate. The only think that I can't truly figure out are the two iconic figurines on each of the pillars. The iconic figurines are: 1. Green in colour 2. Maybe highly eroded... 3. From a glance it looks like a well endowed (blow) fish or at certain angles look like a chubby pig... 4. Or some sort of a petal design of a fruit or sorts : or even look like a variant of a mangoosten with a papaya body... You figure it out....

This shop's business is still striving. Despite a large column directly at the middle of the unit's frontage. This unit owner / tenant place a ba gua mirror directly facing the mirror. And he uses the external pillar to his advantage by placing his wares around it. This is a good "gimmick" as it helps to drum up business. No other shops have a pillar facing it. Somehome the goods scattered around the pillar is attracting walking pedestrians AND HELPING HIS FENG SHUI.

I dare you:- IF IT DOES'NT TASTE GOOD, TELL US. IF IT DOES, TELL YOUR FRIENDS!

There are strange signs. In some places.. there are even stranger signs.... How about "No begging" please?

In my opinion, from a Feng Shui point of view; the general consensus is that: 1. If the main entrance door is either neutral (pastel as in light colours) and another neutral colour is wood or wood tone or brown. 2. If your main door colours are of the above; then generally, it is no major issue.Also no issue are grilles that are : black + gold and silver or again light colours like cream orwhite or silver. 3. But if you door or grille have any of the primary colours: e.g. BRIGHT YELLOW, BRIGHT RED ORBLUE;then best to check out the Flying star chart numbers at that sector(main door).

Another recently TOP condo. Notice the swimming pool on 1st level overlooking the entrance / guard room?

In 2012,Chinese 7th month starts on 17 Aug 2012 (Fri) and ends on 15 Sep 2012 (Sat). Mad rush in recently T.O.P. condo at Caspian.... to collect keys before the start of Chinese 7th month...

The Lucky Cat with an arm waving (thanks to the battery operated hand) originated from Japan. Nowadays, like the attached photos; it is now placed on top of a Chinese offering.... Talk about globalisation and internationalization..

Rambutans bear fruits around the autumn season i.e. in July and plentiful until August, September... Whenever, we see lots of rambutans in season; this is close to the Chinese 7th month...

At an existing construction site for a newly under construction condominium project; this developer has a systematic helmet colour code to identify job functions..... Huh? there is also a helmet colour code to identify a geomancer also? Is this for real?

Note: Chinese 7th month starts on 17 Aug 2012 (Fri) and ends on 15 Sep 2012 (Sat). 1. This "thing" about Chinese 7th month has more to do with either beliefs and to some extend superstitions. 2. The main contention is that it is believed that during the Chinese 7th month, ghosts are let out to wander around on earth during this period. 3. These are some considerations and many questions were asked about: Q3.1. Can I start renovations before Chinese 7th month and continue during Chinese 7th month? A3.1. Yes, based on common sense and logic; Yes, one can happily do so. Why? Assuming that prior to 7th month, renovations started, no wandering spirit would ever come and live in such a uncompleted or run-down or messy home. And like human beings; we shun or prefer if given the choice not to stay in a home that is messy, undergoing renovations, loud unbearable noises and dust. Q3.2. Can I start renovations during Chinese 7th month? A3.2. Again, logically, best not to do so. If in the rare occurance that a wandering spirit has visited your home and stay there during the duration of 7th month, starting renovations during Chinese 7th month may anger the spirit. (Here, assuming you believe that there is such a thing as a wandering spirit who may happen to like your home). 4. Back to your question. Based again on the above logic and common sense. And in addition: do you believe in wandering spirits or NOT? 4.1. If you totally don't believe in such things as wandering spirits; then carry on bring in the stuffs into your new home. 4.2. If one steers to the cautious side; then based on the above logic, if one were to bring in all the comforts of a home; hopefully the "thing" or "spirit" don't go and like your home and stay there... 5. Thus what I mentioned above; can be analysed or using logic and common sense to see what if or again, if one does not believe in such things... skip this thread TOTALLY. There is no art or science, here.. Just either spooky stuffs or beliefs or superstitions...

1. Please note that Chinese 7th month starts on 17 Aug 2012 (Fri) and ends on 15 Sep 2012 (Sat). 2. Chinese hate it when they have to decide whether to go into their brand new apartments between this period 17 August to 15 September. 3. Every year, there will always be some condos that had TOP just a few weeks prior to this date. Not enough time for all owners to receive their keys before than....

This white chair found in a certain coffee shop chain in Singapore is highly unstable. Often, I would see people either sit and nearly flip over at the sides of the chair. The major flaw is that the two side wings is elongated and if one is not careful, one can tip over much like a see-saw...

One can find many odd ornaments on the dashboard of various vehicles in Singapore. Today, had spotted this "unusual" tropy on a dashboard of a panel van... Hmm.. make a guess what it means?
