1. If you are referring to auspicious dates, then you can use this free link to check dates for the next 30 days:- http://www.geomancy.net/reports/free-report/freerpt-dateboth.htm or http://dates.geomancy.net (Note: the report is "As it is"). 2. Sorry, contrary to whatever beliefs; traditionally; even for new-borns; name selection is strictly based on our Mandarin characters - analysis. 3. There is no such thing as whether a name is good if it does not have a Mandarin character and combination of Chinese (Mandarin) characters. Furthermore, authentic name analysis is based on the "Big 5" or "long form" Mandarin strokes and not "simplified" Mandarin characters that is in use today in China and Singapore.

Frankly, there is no right or wrong answer to your question. If you check out the resource, below; each has it's own merits:- http://forum.geomancy.net/resources/art/art-pakua.htm

What's the big deal? Boy or Girl; so what??

Yes, indeed; your name is NO ACCIDENT! It is really chosen by family member: most likely your mum and/or dad or your grand-dad! Thus, it is really no accident!

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Caveat Emptor! Let the buyer beware. 2. Especially if one's birthdate falls in a so called "grey" area; if you get 10 geomancers to "prepare" a Ba Zi chart; often one will find that 6 out of 10 will get it all "mixed" up. 3. An eye opener is to be aware of any geomancer that sells commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. To them these so called modern commercial products have one fragrance: "Buy cheap, Sell HIGH". Guess who pockets the change? But, unfortunately, like the saying goes: "When the buying stops (not possible); just maybe, the selling ENDS?" 4. In order to reason why Fung Sway is being practiced in "this manner" : seriously, one has to examine the "lead-sealed" brains...

In life, there is always a first time for something... even thou it is a ONE-off...

One can also use the SEARCH feature on the TOP-LEFT most frame of this forum; Just type in search input like: False ceiling:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=24637&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=16048&new=

Further to what I had mentioned:- 1. Please see attachment. 2. Two plus factors are:- 2.1. Refer to Marking in purple "A" : In general, the staircase does not directly face the main door. 2.2. Refer to Marking in purple "B" : It is good that there is no direct path between the frontage to the back of the home. (Although the toilet door can be seen, fortunately the WC is a the other wall; so not visible even if the toilet door is opened - acceptable)

These are some considerations:- 1. Using the Search feature on the TOP left frame of this forum; searching for a term " bedroom above garage "; reproduced are some sample links: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=20373&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=10788&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=2000&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=22243&new= 2. The above is based purely on Commonsense and many Feng Shui concepts are linked to commonsense. 3. If you are doing D.I.Y. Feng Shui; then you may have to apply the Flying Star Feng Shui. As it is a useful(proper) tool to diagnoseespecially health related issues.

These are some of the considerations: 1. Based purely on a quick glance of your layou plan:- 1.1. Based on Shapes and Forms, the guest room & somewhat carportprofile needs further investigation as it has affected the entire shape of the profile of the home. 1.2. Otherwise, in general, the other rooms are reasonably within Feng Shui tolerance. 2. For private consultation: email: support@geomancy.net

These are some considerations:- 1. The L-box is often made of gypsum board or other light weight: non-load bearing nor stress beam. 2. Since it is non-load bearing or a support beam; then in reality it should not pose any problem to anyone sitting below it. 3. However, it simply takes one to read about it or for family or friends to comment on it and our "fear factor" start to rise. 4. This is simply psychology in action or "only in one's mind". 5. Thus, in reality no cures are required for this. The only cure, is to change or reset one's mindset and ignore such "irresponsible talk".

Have already sent a private e-mail. Thanks. Cecil

Crinum superbum also known as the Fa Cai Suan. Fa cai means getting rich in Mandarin, while suan, meaning count, also refers to how its stems resembles that of a leek, which has the same sounding name. Unlike the leek, this is not edible. 2. Hoya Multifora: Gardeners nickname this nian nian you yu, as its flowers appear like yu or fish in Mandarin. Nian nian you yu is a Chinese idiom, meaning having surpluses every year. 3. Ardisia crenata: An evergreen shrub with dark green and glossy leaves, it has red berries that hang in clusters. They turn to shades of coral and then brigh scarlet once they ripen. Its numberous clusters of berries are associated with prosperity and the multiplication of wealth. 4. Holmskiodia sangulinea. A new import this year. This flowering plant is more known by its common name, the Chinese hat plant, because its flowers resemble that. 5. Four Seasons Lime. The round golden fruits surrounded by emerald leaves are auspicoius symbols for the NewYear. This one is shaped in a ball, representing abundance and rich harvest. Four seasons limes bear fruits in all seasons,hence its name. 6. Rabbit ear cactus. 7. Hydrangea. The Chinese believe that blossoms bring luck and fortune.

Source & Credit: MyPaper, Singapore Monday, January 17, 2011 Extracts: ONE: "Education thrives in China and the rest of Asia because it is a top priority - and the US has plenty to learn from that." TWO: "Americans think of China's strategic challenge in terms of, say, the new Chinese stealth fighter jet. But the real challenge is the rise of China's education system and the passion for learning that underlies it. We are not going to become Confucians, but we can elevate education on our list of priorities without relinquishing creativity and independent thought. That's what we did in 1957 after the Soviet Union launched Sputnik. "

On my recent business trip; taken at the under used; KLIA (airport): one word: highly inefficient way of flying in and flying out of the airport. ....

Are you sure it has excellent QI? Wait till a tornadoe arrives and the whole Class 1 stuf disappears! OOPS!!!!

Even if the interior layout plan may not seem fantastic e.g. some have triangular interior layout; some have toilets at wrong locations and even kitchen at NW; overall; a unit / apartment / flat in such tower or "point-block" can be forgiven for it's flaws. As there is always sufficient vibrant (not blocked) qi flow all year round. For the attached example of The Bayshore condominium; it always will have good breeze due to the sea just down Under and the land mass above. Thus, due to the high and low pressure during the day and night; wind would constantly move from the sea to land and vice versa depending on the time of day. (The Costa Del Sol condo down under is not an impediment).

These are the considerations: 1. Parents particulars are optional. It would be nice-to have their timing but for parents the date of birth are good enough. (One way to look at it is that "we are not marrying the bride's parents nor our own parents). 2. For girlfriend; it is nice to have the time of birth. But there are many who may not have the time of birth. 3. More importantly, the auspicious dates (and time) takes into consideration both bride and bridgegroom's birth dates (and if possible timing). 4. The timing would not change the auspicious day. Thus, later if she managed to find her time of birth; then it would not normally change the selected auspicious day(s). 5. However, if the time of birth is subsequently found and if one base it on auspicious time to do certain thing like fetch the bride etc.. then if your girlfriend's time is relooked; this might change. Therefore, if so, then "don't look back if everything has already been finalised if subsequently her timing is found out and the report refreshed or updated to reflect it. 6. Again, often there are cases where auspicious timing is at odd hours for a couple. And for the actual wedding day; many still base it on traditional phonetic sound good timing e.g. arriving at bride's home to fetch bride at 8.18am or 8.38 am or 9.38 or 9.39am.

1. In most instances; where space permits; such "stagnant qi" areas are often "reserved" for a wardrope cupboard - as an example. 2. However, if one say; were to turn on a fan or an air-con; then even if one sleeps just anywhere in a bedroom; there is no issue as a fan would often circulate air towards that "stagnant" area. 3. I am not proposing that one turns on an air-con all the time - as this is not green and for some; may not quite stomach the hight utility bills. 4. Actually, contrary to popular belief; with regards to the ceiling fan:- 4.1. In Singapore; many who stay in a landed property are "smart" enough to install them; and often take advantage of their home's high ceiling to install the fans in every area e.g. living room; and all bedrooms. 4.2. However, the middle class; especially those staying in Housing Board and even many condos; have the silly idea that specially; if they were to installa fan; perhaps they have the wrong premonition that the fan will drop onto them or their family. Or have read that the fan is like a weight lifter's weigh that presses down on their body. 5. Overall, the ceiling fan is still the most economical and most effective method of circulating air in any room. This is even vs those or moststanding fans. 6. Frankly, who cares of what others think!

1. In my opinion, any apartment that is similar to the attachment is a better choice. 2. Here, as I had mentioned; usually there are at least three "openings" e.g. from the bedroom windows; living room windows and either the service balcony and/or windows of the toilet. 3. Each unit of this older generation Housing Development Board (HDB) flat is equivalent to a "semi-detached" home in the sky. 4. Thus, the earlier example of The Bayshore; it is also a Tower Block. And for such Tower Block = Point Block; can easily take on even triangle shape and often; no issue. 5. Compare this to the layout under this posting where the triangle apartment is often "sandwiched" in between other more rectangular shaped plot.

This is the most colourful Qilin, one could get...

Bagua mirror comes in many different designs. This one is meant more for business "prosperity"...

Further to what I had mentioned; Do take note that under majority of Chinese customs:- 1. Chinese New Year and when is a good day to open for business? 1.1 Chinese always try to OPEN for business on EVEN days based on the LUNAR NEW YEAR. 1.2. Thus, Chinese traditionally OPEN for business on:- 1.2.1 SECOND DAY of the Chinese Lunar New Year or 2nd day of 1st Lunar month OR 1.2.2 FOURTH DAY (4th day of 1st Lunar month) = BUT, some CHINESE don't like the number 4; thus often they go for the 6TH DAY:- 1.2.3 SIXTH DAY (6th day of 1st Lunar month) OR 1.2.4 EIGHT DAY (8th day of 1st Lunar month) = Very popular for Chinese businessmen (Chinese seldom open after the Eight day = as often celebrations cease after this date). 2. While the reverse is true for BURIAL or CREMATION = funeral day:- 2.1. For burial or cremation; the Chinese choose ODD days. 2.2. For example: if someone passed away on e,g, Saturday 15th January 2011; then the funeral should be held on the 3rd, 5th, 7th or 9th day. 2.3 Thus if a person passed away anytime before 2359 on 15th January 2011; then 15th January is to be considered as the First day of passing. Thus funeral can be on 17th Jan or 19th Jan or 21st Jan. 3. Thus CNY Opening is always on an EVEN day (counting from 1st day of the Chinese New Year). Although EVEN number is associated with YIN; but this is not the correct interpretation. EVEN symbolises "A PAIR" e.g. when we visit someone; we always give a PAIR of oranges. Chinese don't like to give odd number fruits on such a joyous occasion. 4. While for a funeral is on ODD days. And a funeral should be conducted on the "YANG" days. 5. Sorry to bring this 2nd subject. But, it is for general knowledge. Especially for the non-Chinese to understand our culture. Hope that helps the younger generation of Chinese.
