The Terrace block 88. Let's face it. In Singapore and Hong Kong: a number like 8 or 88 sells... This unts in this block 88 was completely sold out quickly.

Past ranking of 4 bedders..

100 Palms Residence Since this is one of the few ECs that is over-subscribed and few got it... I am releasing the ranking exercise of the 3 bedders..

Hopefully, all new condos and EC developers play their part by including the actual location of the central rubbish bins. In some developments there may be two: normal or regular rubbish and another one for recycling.

Hillion Residence and Onemap.sg The outline of the three blocks in Hillion Residence now appears on onemap.sg. I have taken the liberty to prepare the compass markings on this map. There is a 4 degrees difference between the onemap vs streetdirectory.com map. For example: the E1 for onemap shows 77 degrees. But for streetdirectory is 73 degrees. A small 4 degrees variance. Fortunately, it makes no difference as the stacks/units still face either E1, W1, S1 or N1.

1. Le Quest has similar stacks such as the sample below that has the kitchen and stove at NW. 2. In Feng Shui, this is known as Fire at Heaven's gate. Considered inauspicious for the stove to be within the NW cardinal point. 3. For a male breadwinner, it is less than ideal to select a unit with the kitchen at NW sector. 4. Do a search in this forum for " Fire at Heaven's Gate ". 5. Generally, a kitchen especially if a stove is directly at the NW cardinal point will be inauspicious for the male-head of the house. Typically this can affect him. 6. This is because NW under the Ba Gua Trigram belongs to the Heaven (sign). And NW also represents the male-head elder of the house. 7. Thus in simple terms: turning on a stove at NW will burn one's Heaven luck = not lucky and also may affect the male-head elder's career. 8. If you have done so many review as I have, even in a ranking exercise; I can pick out stacks/units in my mind that has this concern. And flag it to the potential purchaser. 9. Thus for this development, I randomly picked Block 10 stack #33 at Le Quest. For example:- 10. Mind you, there are lots, lots more of similar stacks with kitchen at NW sector in HDB Ubi Grove = caveat emptor.. let the buyer beware!

These are some considerations: 1. As you have mentioned; do expect many view points with regards to a project such as this. 2. Frankly, based on just looking at these three photos; and that you are already aware of the potential "some noise" from the SLOW traffic + the highway (and another road running below the causeway). 3. It is of my personal opinion that:- R & F Princess Cove U/C 3.1. The highway curves away from the development or the potential block/stack/unit that you are eyeing on. 3.2. And the stack/unit that you are looking is of high floor and South Facing; While majority the stacks in the two blocks the smaller and the larger block is more towards SE facing. 4. In fact, in equivalent Singapore, East Coast / Marine Parade "facing" = typically morning sun. And the side closer to UOB bank building does have also some afternoon sun. 5. Considering the unit you refer to: in my opinion is a can buy for this unit. My views may perhaps differ if asked to advice on another stack/unit.

For the Chinese, it is considered inauspicious to give a clock. And a clock facing a unit is like giving a clock to them. This implies "death" to whoever received a clock'

Question: "Hi , sorry for disturbing again. For the sleep over night, may I check from what time to what time should we be there? As i heard people said differently about what time to be considered sleep over" Reply: Can argue until the cows come home. There is really no right or wrong on this. The key is: "Sleep OVER-night one night" is considered as moved-in. What time to be there? Anytime before 2359HRS. Usually, what makes sense is spent an evening there. (and from there onwards till next morning). Really, no written "bible" on such things. More to common sense. Can ask a 1,000 people, and you may get a thousand answers. No right or wrong. Pure common sense.

my parents applied a flat at Dakota Breeze, Thank you Mr Cecil again for your helpful analysis

Under Shapes and Forms, as the building is squarish, the winds hitting the corners would result in more turbulence.. less than ideal. As this ilustration, below, shows in the blue dotted outlines:-
