Forest Woods Residences Condo By CDL and Flying Star Feng Shui The remaining stacks belongs to the East group. N3 STACKS 32, 33, 39, 42, 43, 44 has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back" of the unit. Thus not as favourable. S3 STACKS 34, 35, 36, 40, 41, 46. In general, these 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. 1. Attached, please find a sample illustration of a Flying Star Period 8, S2 chart. Please note that an S2 chart is identical to an S3 chart except that the directions found in the chart has to be tilted 15 degrees to 195 degrees instead of the original 180 degrees. 2. In the attachment: it is advantages for the [8] & [8] which symbolises : Prosperity, good wealth at the frontage of the home. Vs a N3 facing where this good stars are wasted at the "rear" which is usually the kitchen/yard area. 3. 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. 4. Thus for a South facing (S3) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Forest Woods Residences Condo By CDL and Flying Star Feng Shui 1. These stacks favours a West group person. 2. NE1 stacks 09, 10, 14, 15, 16, 17, 26, 27, 28, 29 & 38. Has the auspicious water wealth #8 star at the frontage. Thus, units with water position at the frontage (balcony side) can enjoy good Feng Shui. If so, the sum-of-ten can be activated for : Health, wealth and family luck. If the unit is not facing a water position, then best to place a water position at the balcony area to activate the luck. On the downside; the other sectors in such a home has bad stars that best to be disarmed or neutralised. SW1 stacks 01, 02, 07, 08, 11, 12, 13, 18, 20, 21, 24, 25, 31, 33. As the water wealth #8 is at the frontage; water at the frontage is good. Particularly advantages for stacks 24, 30 & 31 as these units faces a pool of water. Or activate a water position at the balcony area. As such overall, the unit can activate the sum-of-ten. Need though to disarm bad stars in many sectors of the home. To disarm health related considerations.

Forest Woods Residences Condo By CDL First looks: the outline of the site-plan reminds me of a small grand piano. With a piece (in red) eaten up by a sub-station. This development sits at the main junction of Paya Lebar Road and Upper Serangoon Road. With a smaller estate road : Lorong Lew Lian. Which by the way Lew Lian suppose to be or sounds like "Durian"... It is good that the architect has set in the blocks/stacks furthest inwards: to avoid the traffic/road noise of both Paya Lebar and Upper Serangoon Road. And the entrance / exit of vehicles is via Lorong Lew Lian. Hopefully, when this development T.O.P. CDL should be presenting each unit with a crate of durians each. As in the past, some developers do present a bottle red wine as a gesture of good luck-will. First looks of Forest Woods Residences... Hopefully, the name implies that there will be abundance of trees in this estate... With or without Feng Shui considerations; this will certainly be fully booked given that it is just a five minutes walk to the MRT station.

Although the above is one method taking the Flying Star compass readings. It is best to use the following method instead:- 1. Please see attachment. 2. Here, if one notice; the above reading was done by taking the readings along this red markings A to B. (Parallel to the side wall of the unit). 3. Instead, it is preferred to take a reading in blue. For example: standing inside the living room and facing the balcony. Thus take a reading from the blue marking C to D. 4. With this in mind, it is very tedious for me to work on each individual stack/unit facing. Thus, it will be on a case-by-case basis as requested by my clients. 5. Thus one may have to fine-tune the Flying Stars of these two blocks 110 and 111 to re-assess their Flying star directions in light of the above.

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View and Block 111 with stacks 01, 02, 03 & 04 Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; stacks #03 and #04 are less than ideal. As this is the major Entry / Exit ramp for the entire development. Plus it is close to/partially facing the bin point. N2 stacks with #02 and #03 has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back" of the unit. Thus not as favourable as stacks #01 and #02 which are S2 facing. S2. Stacks with #01 and #02 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.

As the readings are taking as a total Block e.g. 110; some geomancers may use the readings eg. from the centre most bedrooms facing outwards of the unit towards the balcony.

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View Always mindful whether one's potential new home has afternoon sun : be it direct, indirect and roughly which areas of the home may be affected by the afternoon sun. I was once told by an overseas client who enjoys all 4 seasons. And she said that she does not mind her home having afternoon sun. As it can be very cold in the winter (up.. there)

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View and Flying Star Feng Shui of Block 111 Block 111 consists of a total of 4 stacks. Stacks #21 and #22 faces Flying stars P8 SE3 direction. While stacks #23 and #24 faces the opposite directions of NW3. NW3 with stacks #23 and #24 has the auspicious water wealth #8 at it's frontage. However, try to avoid the lower units as the lower units face the main entrance/ security guard. The bin centre is to the extreme right of stack #24. Other than this, the rest of the sectors on this home has imbalances. If the master bedroom or a bedroom is located at West sector of the home: be careful of frequent sickness Stacks #21 and #22 with SE 3 facing has the water wealth star at it's frontage. Thus, it is an advantage that these unit faces a pool of water. The rest of the stars in other sectors are inauspicious. And may need to be disarmed Good, if the rear of the house has a "mountain" support. P.S. As the readings are taking as a total Block e.g. 110; some geomancers may use the readings eg. from the centre most bedrooms facing outwards of the unit towards the balcony. Of course, if so, it may become a S1 facing unit especially for stack #21 etc...

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View and Christian type of "fish shaped" layout with one side having two blocks and the other four blocks will inevitable cause poison arrows from the side with two blocks... Sha Qi or poison arrows aimed towards stacks #17 and #20

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View and 4 Bedroom Type D1 Here, it is not ideal to place a bed-head sharing the same wall as the WC. In addition, in this E1 layout; it is less than ideal for a stove to share the same wall as a WC:-

Another red lamp

Brand 1: Auto-Seal External door GAP seal In my opinion, this is a pretty good "mechanical" door seal. What happens is that each time the main door is at the close position; there is a mechanical seal that drops down to the floor: so that there is no longer a GAP to allow for brochures or even liquid to spill into the unit. Look down on the floor. There is an aluminium strip at the bottom of this condo unit floor. The product name is called "auto seal"

Avoid purchasing a water feature similar to this one. As it looks ambiguous. Under symbolism in Feng Shui; to some; it may look like "monsters" or some ugly thing.... etc..
