Various Thai Gods on a multi-platform altar. In our line of business, one has to be well versed in determining location(s) of client’s gods. This is one of them:

Enbloc sale for Pearl Bank Apartments has been finalised. Sold to CapitaLand for $728 million. There was a failed attempt in 2015 to gazette this building as it did not meet the 100% target of approval. The apartment block was designed by local architect Tan Cheng Siong. He designed a unique horseshoe shape design with exposed exterior concrete walls know as Brutalist architecture. (A French originated term which simply means “bare concrete”. What is unique with it’s design is the interlocking “cubist” walls where the walls of one’s home never really shares exactly the same wall as a neighbour. Instead, one really do not know which wall is sharing with a second or third neighbour’s walls! The site from 1965 till today.. The only change was that of Outram Primary School ..

TRASH INDEX is an indicator of business activity for this market! By the amount of trash it produces! Really? Location: Boon Keng Market: 24 hours before CNY 2018. CNY = Chinese New Year

In my opinion, often, there are at least two or three major flaws + location, location and location combined to bring down one’s luck. It is anybody’s guess of what are the major issues, here. Since no triage has been done to troubleshoot. For example, I noticed that the staircase is right in the middle of the ground floor: Plus in the above photo; there is also a toilet at the frontage (car garage side). What is not know is whether this area has wealth stars = may or may not be affected by it. In my opinion, all these might or may add up to more “flaws”. Furthermore, this photo seems that this side of the house is blocked by a high wall or neighbour’s house: Thus, things like the above, where your house may be enclosed does not make good Feng Shui. But if we start to stack up flaws especially major one’s then it may drag down the luck. Sorry, this is just a superficial concern since I am in no position to comment fully the extend... how real it may be...

The game of Chapteh. A traditional Asian game of keeping a weighted shuttlecock up in the air. Usually this is done by using one’s feet, head and other parts of the body except the hands.

The game of five stones: Played by 2 or more players, using 5 all triangular cloth bags filled with rice grains, sand or saga seeds. The object is to complete a set of eight steps. The winner is the one completing the most number of tries.

One really have to be well versed with Flying Stars. Unfortunately this forum is more of a catalyst. And cannot afford to always hold one’s hand. Thus, if encounter stars like MS#6 with #WS3 as an example, then I should seriously consider keeping that sector quiet.

Images of Katong Shopping Centre. Once upon a time = bare concrete exterior = Brutalist architecture. Originally bare unpainted concrete exterior walls. In the 2000’s exterior walls painted to make it look brighter and for better foot traffic appeal.

In general, there is no restrictions.

Village Hotel at Katong uses a repetitive square within a circle design. Square represents the earth element. Circle represents metal element. To the layperson, more importantly so long as it looks pleasant; this is good enough! If you look carefully, in fact there is a pencil thin outline of an octagon or Bagua trigram or eight sided shaped design surrounding each motif.

Part 4 - For a male breadwinner, it is less than ideal to select a unit with the kitchen at NW sector. 1. Do a search in this forum for " Fire at Heaven's Gate ". 2. 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. 3. 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. 4. 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. 5. 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. 6. Thus for this development HDB Woodlands Glade, I randomly picked one example. Here, stack 566 as shown below has the kitchen within the NW sector:- 7. 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!

Part 5: Male Breadwinner and the inauspicious Fire at Heaven's Gate 1. Search this forum for "Fire at Heaven's Gate" for more information. 2. Generally, having a kitchen—especially the stove—located at the NW cardinal point is considered inauspicious for the male head of the household. This placement can have negative effects on him. 3. In Feng Shui, the NW area is associated with the Heaven sign under the Ba Gua Trigram, and also represents the male elder of the house. 4. Simply put, placing and using a stove in the NW sector is believed to burn away one's Heaven luck, leading to bad fortune and potentially affecting the male-head’s career. 5. With extensive experience in reviewing units, I can readily identify stacks or units where this concern exists and highlight them to potential buyers. 6. For example, in HDB Tampines Green Dew, stack 173 has the kitchen situated within the NW sector, as shown below. There are other stacks/units with the same concern. But I will just stop, here. This being one of the example.

Part 7 - Case Study: The stima of living in close proximity of an Electrical Sub-station or ESS Although there are no conclusive or no known bad effects of living close-to or next to an ESS, nevertheless, there is somehow a stigma attached to this. As often during a resale environment, many would seek advice on this. A conservative geomancer may even hail this as inauspicious! Fortunately, good or bad, none of the stacks or units are directly above such an ESS. In fact, it is safe to say that stacks 30, 82, 92, 114 and 116 are quite a distance away from the two ESS in this development! Look at it from another angle: ESS are always low storeys mostly 1 or 2 storeys high. As such any unit that is often higher than 2nd storey would not be obstructed by it. (With the exception of the MSCP. Given that for this development both the ESS are at each of the two the MSCPs.
