You are so efficient...

Happy new year master!Thank you for your all the good advice, my son did very well for his O level, and he managed to go _JC for his JC study.

1. In this illustration, avoid placing a mirror at marking "X":- 2. This is because, when we walk into the home from the main entrance; and since not many would often close the kitchen door so often or even if so and it is a clear glass door; 3. A mirror at marking "X" would literally reflect the view of the kitchen/service yard area. 4. As mentioned in the eariler thread, for some, when they walk past the mirror if mounted at "X" may encrouch into their "personal space" and may get scared to see another person "right beside" them. 5. Some pet dogs or cats may even suddenly see another "dog/cat" in that mirror at "X". 6. While mirror at marking "C" is a distant away. And less threatening as it is not within our immediate space. Many Interior Decorators recommend a mirror at "C" simply because it gives the illusion of a bigger house. Thus, based on common sense alone, it is still pausible for a mirror, here (at marking "C").

There are two ways of looking at it: A. Applying the science of Feng Shui:- 1. Mirrors and Compass School (Flying Stars) Feng Shui. Refer to this illustration:- 1.1. At marking "A", there are nasty stars Mountain Star #5 (misfortune/sickness) combined with #2 (sickness). Thus, placing a mirror at markng "A" can bounce back twice the bad luck. 1.2. Markings "B" and "C" are close to the sector with the double #8's = current prosperity wealth stars. B. Common sense and "our personal space" & proximity of mirrors when we enter a premises. Often, placing a mirror in close proximity may "scare" a person. For example, just imagine, returning home late. And for some to suddenly encounter an image of self.. may scare the person. A mirror a distance away such as the above marking "C" would have less of such an effect as it will not be close to a person's "personal space". Fortunately... once a person or family member is familar with the mirror; this would not be a non-issue.

The flying stars of the rest of the condo units.

Waterfront @ Faber by World Class Land Pte Ltd Blocks 40 & 42: either facing N3 or S3 Under Flying stars; there is a difference between a N3 facing vs a S3 facing chart. Here, under N3 facing; the combined auspicious wealth stars are wasted at the rear of the home. Here, "rear" often means wasted at the kitchen / yard area in stead of at the frontage like that of an S3 chart. N3 and S3 stacks are the best stacks for a East group person. As both frontage enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. And furthermore their facing directions has water. Bring great wealth. The only concern for a S3 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck. Thus for a South facing (S3) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Parksuites @ Holland Grove Road (formerly Henry Park Apartments) [Review Soon]

In addition, The Trizon's Block 8 corner(s) face the corner of 63 Montview stack #02. Thus in effect neutarlises each other's sharp corner.

Montview and external shapes and forms A neighbouring development: The Trizon has it's blocks at an angle to Montview single block. Fortunately as shown by a red arrow; the block's sharp corner is not aimed at Montview stack #02 critical areas like Master bedrooms or the two other bedrooms on the side of The Trizon.

This development's single block of flats: stacks either facing N2 or S2

Montview @ Mount Sinai Drive This freehold development consists of a single block of flats. Very similar in concept of the "5 bedroom type HDB point-blocks of the mid 1975s. Please do not mistaken that the build or quality is that of the HDB flats. The build is of a typical luxury condo apartments. This development is either Period 8 Flying Stars since it TOP in 2008: Either N2 or S2 facing with a negligible tilt of 5 degrees.

Waterfront @ Faber by World Class Land Pte Ltd A stretch of the development faces the Ulu Pandan river. Expected TOP is next year. Intitial looks are that the "roof line s" may pose a threat if it is aimed towards an unit's frontage (if facing these roof-lines) [Review soon]

Seaside Residence located at East Coast Road. This development will have stacks that over-looks the sea. Will be reviewed at a later date...

Artra is a 99 year leasehold development with 400 units. Launch date is expected soon.. A tradtional rectangular slab block residential design towering 43 storeys high and expected TOP date is year: 2021. Often if the progress goes well; sometimes such smaller projects could even be completed earlier... but still got to play by the ear... Artra follows trends like Hill V2 and Greenwich which is considered an integrated development. It suppose to have an anchor supermarket, 15 retail stores and a childcare centre.

Part 1: Resources - inZ Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang / Tengah is another new project to be launched early this year. 1. This 99 year leasehold development consisting of 490 units will have nine blocks of up to 15 to 16 storeys high. 2. The most distinctive feature of this development are the generous Reinforced Concrete or RC ledges:- 3. The RC ledges not only gives this development a distinct external outline but follows the 1950's art-deco era of form and function. 4. The function is that it allows each individual unit to have as many windows or openings partially or even fully opened without unduly concerned with the elements such as wind and rain. 5. Allow each home to be airy. That is of course if one does not turn on the air-con 24/7 all the time!

The Clementi Canopy Condo by UOL The initial compass readings based on the Sale Brochure of The Clementi Canopy shows that this developments stacks either face NE1 (23 degrees) or SW1 (203 degrees). The main concern is that just 0.5 of a degrees or more and the facing changes to either N3 (e.g. 22.4 degrees) or S3 (e.g. 202.4 degrees) facing. The next few reviews, I will try to counter check it with streetdirectory.com. As the outlines are not up yet; but at least see if the sales brochure is "in the right direction".

Case Study 4: Roof lines of Club-house or pavillions and Sha Qi or Poison arrows if aimed towards a unit's opening such as a balcony opening or window(s) 1. For ground floor or lower floors; check the roof-lines of club-house; gazebos etc for poison arrows aimed towards the unit. 2. Especially if it is aimed towards the balcony as this is the hardest to cure. As it is not like one wants to install an external blinds and draw them fully down 24/7. 3. If these "spikes@ are aimed towards a window: "if it cannot be seen or (nearly cannot be seen) no longer becomes a threat, applies". For eg. Day curtains is good enough. 3.1. Location: The Peak @ Balmeg 4. These two photos, below are from Riverbank @ Fernvale. Do be careful of innocent looking pavilion roof lines and club-house roofings that may or may not "slice" towards a unit's opening such as a balcony or window opening 5. Understand more about “Type 1 and Type 2 External Sha Qi or poison arrows from this development: 6. More poison arrows from roof-lines examples:

Bellewoods EC soon to T.O.P. Blocks 106, 108, 116, 118, 120 & 122 have stacks that are either NW3 or SE3 facing.

A & A work. Semi-detach

Feng Shui is not a "cure all" or everything has to do with it. Your question has more to do with opinions. And for such a question, there is no end to the number of such opinions.

One has to understand that each concept or theory has it's strengths and weaknesses. Eight House concept has it's limitations:- https://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Three-Step-Approach Other concepts like: Fix-the-leaks; The concept of maximising marks etc.. are other key successf factors, here. Another key success factor is a Feng Shui Triage: https://www.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage
