1. These pattern(s) of floor tiles has it's roots or origins with Islamic geometric patterns. 2. These tile patterns were popular in the early 1930's to 1950's.... 3. These two homes along Ceylon Road are using "replica" designs"... as often,due to wear and tear, misuse and renovations; many of the original tilesare long gone... 4. It is a pity that most of the homes have been stripped of their ornate wall tiles and beautiful facade! Like the home with the RED main door!

Does cure works both ways? YES / NO??

In countries dominated by or influenced by the Cantonese dialect group; No. 4 means "die" in their language. Thus 44 means "sure to die"... Thus, especially in Singapore, Hong Kong and Malaysia; often this MAY affect the resale value of SUCH a property especially for such Chinesepotential buyers...

It is commonly called the Red House Bakery http://infopedia.nl.sg/articles/SIP_611_2004-12-24.html

1. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, horses: figurines and even paintings of horses have been used to symbolise: either making trips overseas and or promote sales.... 2. Here, in many Feng Shui books, some of the authors would say, place a horse figurine facing the main door. The rationale? Symbolism "travelling" be it for business or leisure. 3. Similarly some home that a painting of horses is placed facing a door, to symbolise going out to get sales..... sort of thing. 4. In a painting, always count the number of horses in the painting. In the past, I had seen paintings where there were even 999 horses.. In this painting... can you count how many horses are there? Nine?

1. You can use the Search feature on the left right frame of this forum to search for things like: "Change to Period 8" on past resources. 2. In my opinion, what you have described often does not change your house to a new Period. 3. Changing the stove alone to chnage the house period should again in my opinion to be taken with a pinch of salt. The saying goes.. if it sounds so good... it may not be far from the truth....

1. Criteria for placing a water feature depends on both Shapes and Forms and applying Flying Star Feng Shui. 2. As to understanding the shape etc... of a water feature, I believe the resource can be found under this url: http://fountain.geomancy.net Para 2.1 to 2.12

These are some considerations: 1. The industry of a car manufacturer is often considered as belonging to the metal element. As often, the largest component of a vehicle and even the heart of the vehicle is made of metal: be it die cast aluminium engine block or body shell (normal cars) made of steel or aluminium. 2. If the company is an "Auto-trader" dealing in new or used cars; majority of the salesman should be considered as belonging to the "fire element". 3. Often, it is not so much as a male rat born in 1972; but rather what element and strength: e.g. a there is a large difference say between a weak or strong person + the specific element e.g. weak water person, strong wood person, weak earth person... etc...

2011, has to be the year, new homes and apartments fully make use of all sorts of range of LED energy saving and super long lasting lights... With energy consumption of only 3 or 7 watts as compared to 15W and 40W or even 100W lamps!

Location: Somewhere along the main road of Telok Kurau... A nice looking front entrance area...

For the last 13 years, have been using the micro-drip system to automatically water my plants...

This stretch of pebble walk paths is located in the Bukit Merah View estate. Such pebble paths used to be popular in the 1980's. Suppose to be good for people to walk on. However, in my opinion, was told that it is not that good for diabetics (who often may not have sensitive feel on their foot)...

These are some considerations:- 1. Although Yin and Yang has existed for some time; Left and Right Brain "persons" are also classified being either Yin or Yang. 2. In addition; in selecting a career; one also has to look into the above cues... 3. For example, in the past, I had mentioned that we have to find out the child's inclination; 4. Here, we should look into the child's traits: some children are more spatial. Some people are more into the arts and humanities while others are more mathematical. 5. For example, a parent may sent a child to MIT, US if he has excellent skills in the mathematical side while a parent may sent a child to another different Ivy league school: Havard who is good at language e.g. law etc.. 6. Under the Five Elements concept; yes, wood career would be considered OK for a strong water person. (Colour deficiency is in my opinion another area e.g. where it may affect one's perception of traffic lights etc..)

These are some considerations: 1. In the past, careers were straight-forward. For example, a butcher is a butcher, a merchant is a merchant etc... 2. Nowadays, with both multi-skilling and management studies like strategic planning; Professor Porter's Five Forces to evaluate an industry and core-skills; things have become complicated. 3. In addition, it is often "complicated" by education and education system. 4. For example, in Singapore; our education system in the past, in my opinion is still more of reguritation of facts or reproducing them. And not very good for innovation. 5. And the majority would rely on their education certificate: for example, an accountant would often stick to their current career even if ba zi says that their careers are not that suitable to them. Of course, there are some who change careers in a drastic measure, such as a few lawyers who could not adapt to the stress of their career. Thus, this often limits one's scope to change job. 6. In addition, in Singapore, many who switch jobs and could not find employment may end up as Taxi drivers and even open food stalls.. due to low startup costs if any. 6. Furthermore, under the Holy Trinity of Luck:- 6.1. What you mentioned belong only to the Heaven Luck category and there are lots of escape clause to it. For example, as mentioned, your education, your relationship would change it somewhat. 6.2. Earth Luck is Feng Shui. 6.3. Human or man luck is another. 7. Thus, Heaven Luck or Ba zi is only 33.3 percent of the total luck. 8. In a business, what is more important also is the "product". For example, in Singapore, there are instances of famous food stalls were relocated to odd corners of Singapore and yet, they instantly become successful no matter where they are situation. Contrary to those not so good.. run of the mill food stalls.

Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, where possible always avoid a SPLIT directly in the middle: Be it a mirror facing the dining table or a feature wall behind the bed-head or the dressing table mirror or the toilet wall hung cabinet above the sink...

Another new Year is coming soon.... URL: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2012.htm

Unfortunately, although Ba Zi sounds the same; it is like the hot and cold continuum.. where it can be as detalied or general; another cross-slice is the use of Hsia or Xia Li vs Lunar computation etc.. Frankly, in real life; since you "asked for it" consulting more cooks; then one should; either you swallow one of the recommendations and forgo the other; This is the most practical thing to do. I don't think the two FS masters would revert; but if one is kinda thick-skinned; maybe check with either and/or both how they calculate it. I mean.. since you paid for it right? Not a good idea.. just thinking aloud.

More photos of this unfortunate restaurant...(affected by Poor Shapes and Forms)

1. When NEX shopping mall opened this year, I was looking at the Shapes and Forms to see which location within the NEX shopping mall has good or bad Feng Shui. 2. The moment, I walked passed this Restaurant, I felt that somehow; the location is in my opinion, considered to have one of the worst Feng Shui within NEX mall. 3. Often, objectively: some business fail or will ultimately fail due to it's product or service. 4. Here, in my opinion, most likely, the business: Restaurant could (would/ may) fail because of bad Feng Shui. 5. Do you think that by placing a Ba Gua mirror on the signage; will save this Restaurant? I don't think so! 6. In my opinion, it is only a matter of time; that : Location, location and location will fail this restaurant... Do mark my words... for it! P.S. NEX opened this year 2011. See how long this (unfortunate) restaurant can last!... CLUE: IT is directly below UOB, Serangoon Central, NEX...
