The rectangular protection bagua

Oops! This is a walkway.. and this home faces this walkway. No wonder, the owner sought protection by hanging a Bagua type mirror This is the view if one stands outside the home looking outwards The same bollard as a reference... Are you able to piece the entire storyline?

Making a grand entrance? Potted plants, please... Who stole my plants?

Opposite is true for these trees. They shed few leaves at any one time. Well behaved and can grow thin and tall. A good thing is that they look so unappealing to the termites.

Umbrella type of tree... Actual Italian name is Bucida molinetti. During the dry Seasons, it sheds lots and lots of small leaves... Stepping on these leaves is like stepping on mini-fire crackers...as one can hear the grinding + popping sound as the leaves are crushed...

Bamboo trees shed a lot of leaves especially during the drier seasons

Thank you master Lee! Looking forward to meeting you to discuss, the charts are very thorough and sophisticated! Can we meet 9am on Monday? Will this be too early for you? ?

Yes

Yeah I’ve done Joey Yapp’s one before but I feel you’re much more knowledgable.

1 1. The inquiry pertains to the type of pillar specification? 2. For instance, if the pillar is built solely by stacking bricks and mortar, one can only hope that a brick or bricks do not become dislodged and turn into projectiles, or that their fragments do not fly towards an unsuspecting "victim." 3. Therefore, common sense dictates that the pillar should ideally possess adequate stopping power... for standard vehicles? I recognize that it is not feasible to reinforce it sufficiently to endure the impact of a large truck, etc... 4. Additionally, one must consider what lies behind the pillar. If an innocent toddler inadvertently cycles behind it, etc... etc... "Gone with the... W....?" Touchwood. 5. Naturally, this scenario might represent perhaps a 1 in 10 million chance? Hmm... I am uncertain... At least, as far as I know, there have been no further reports of the aforementioned uneventful incident involving Toyota missiles... (as referenced in the previous discussion). P.S. In Singapore, at traffic light intersections, there are four bollards designed to prevent normal vehicles from passing. Recently, a Ferrari or a supercar collided but was halted by a bollard positioned between the two directional traffic lights. Bus stops also feature a narrower row of bollards. Meanwhile, at bus terminals, the bollard(s) are intended to stop a bus. Here, it depends on calculated risks... and thus specifications are designed to mitigate concerns on average.

Then following traditional practises, for peace-of-mind the ba gua mirror can be valid in this case given your above clarifications.

Blocks such as 186 have balconies that come with sound-proofing features. This is because one of the main culprits is the balcony ceiling, which reflects noise, especially from MRT tracks, into the home. The good news is that newer generation trains are also less noisy. So the next time you see this, do understand that it is designed to reduce and absorb the magnified noise that would otherwise bounce off the balcony ceiling and increase the traffic noise. These ceilings are not just for decoration; they also serve the purposes mentioned above. A perfectly flat surface reflects sounds that move in a straight line. From now on, the government has set a rule that every unit can have balconies making up a maximum of 15% of the total floor area. In addition, some developments now come with thicker noise-reduction glass panels, and some higher-end ones even feature dual-ply glass panels.

Someday… someone could really hurt themselves here. Residents may want to ask the MA to add some clear yellow stripes for better visibility. Honestly, the developer should have prioritised these safety issues from the start. It sometimes feels like the attitude of certain planners is, “You stay there, we don’t.” As in, “I’m not staying there, so why should I care? Just pay me for the work and that’s it!” For someone unfamiliar with the place or walking there for the first time, it’s visually quite hard to see or immediately realise that this isn’t a perfectly flat, seamless integration between the function area and the footpath! From the opposite end, visually again, the pathway looks level with the barbecue area. Developers have a responsibility to make sure that their developments are safe!

Do a search for "Ba Gua mirror" in this forum and there are lots of case studies on it... Such as: and more...

Case Study - Is the altar really facing the master bedroom windows? Please note that only if the altar directly faces your master bedroom window as shown as marking in red "X"; then this is considered the altar facing your master bedroom. But on many occasions some think that even if the altar faces markings A and B; this is also like what you meant. If so this is not a concern, here. Thus what you mentioned is not a "threat".

A typical Ba Gua mirror to "deflect" a altar facing one's main door or windows: has both the 8 trigrams at it's outer perimeter + a mirror at it's centre. Traditionally, the mirror is flat. The rational is that a spirit usually is scared to see it's own image. Assuming the neighbour's is a Chinese deity or Buddha; then the most common recommended mirror is either A. Traditional or B. Modern as shown below:- Nowadays, the most popular sold is a variant of B. Modern. But the mirror is often conVEX or conCAVE. Even though there is also a flat mirror. Should I choose a Ba Gua mirror with a flat or conVEX mirror. In the past, it was a flat mirror. For the purpose of someone looking at it, will look at it's exact face. However, the conVEX can also serve this purpose. Although it's main purpose is to deflect sha qi.. such as a lamp post aimed towards a window etc... Just avoid buying a ba gua with a conCAVE mirror for this purpose of "defending" against an "altar placement". Reference:

Dear Daniel, These are some considerations: 1. As you mentioned, it depends on the proximity of their altar. Close proximity is subjective. To some, it is close-by. To others, may be a comfortable distance even if "close-by". 2. Compass directions: the worst is IF your master bedroom and the altar at a NE (devil's gate) and SW (devil's backdoor alignment). If so, a bagua mirror with a convex mirror at the centre is okay to be hung above the bedroom window. 3. Type of GOD. Although many conservative FSMs (Feng Shui Masters) will always ask to place a ba gua mirror, even for all types of GODs. 4. In essence, majority of FSMs would often ask you to purchase a traditional Ba Gua Trigram at the outer ring and the convex mirror to deflect it. 5. Liberal FSMs may ask you to draw the day curtain permanently.

Frankly, the three-spoke-star block design is pretty uncommon in Singapore. As compared to the four spoke block design and others...
