These are some of the considerations:- A. 2011 Flying Star Forecast North 8 3 1 9 7 5 4 2 6 South Take note the following sectors:- Sickness Star this year is at South Misfortune/Sickness Star this year is at East Disputes/Quarrel Star this year is at North Education/Romance Star this year is at South-West Grand Duke this year is East, 90 Degree. - Avoid sitting facing the grand duke or disturbing him by having renovations. Location in Conflict is West. - Avoid having renovations done opposite the location in conflict. Reference link: http://www.geomancy.net/resources/yearly-forecast/fortunes-2011.htm B. From 3 Feb 2011 to 22 Jan 2012, please see above, the location in conflict is West: thus the worst sector for next year is East at 90 degrees where both the Grand Duke and the very inauspicious Five yellow is located.

Please do a search for terms like pregnant or Chinesebelief or custom... as I had just recently replied in detail to a similar question. As this is more a "Chinese" thing or Chinese belief or custom. 2. I found that north and east according to 8 mansion are not good for me also, what should i do meanwhile waiting my wife's delivery? Can i move to another room alone to get better luck & health? D. Frankly, such things cannot be answered just by staring at a few lines of text. There are more to in terms of Feng Shui i.e. Holistic approach vs piecemeal. Feng Shui is also not about just eating or sleeping on the 8 mansion alone. There are other major considerations: Location, location, location, even under Flying star, there are Periods, facing direction(s) etc... 3. Is it better & safer to find new house facing west after my wife's delivery? E. Again, as we all know, there is no comparison at the moment. You ask me this question. I ask you another: How do you know that the new house facing west has a better Feng Shui than your current house? It is not like automatically, or so simple as, no good move house. E1. What happens even if the home is a west facing home; there is no guarantee that it will have better Feng Shui. F. In my opinion, one cannot simply apply piecemeal Feng Shui or grope in the dark. G. In such situations, unfortunately, I would like always recommend that you might as well flip a coin. Isn't this easier?

The saying goes: a picture tells a thousand words. Many lines of text, can easily lead to miscommunication. And it is so boring to digest ... lines of text... .

1. It is even better as the staircase is at Marking B vs if the staircase is at marking A. You said: "The centerpoint of the house (intersection of 2 lines excluding garage and backyard area)is near thecorner of the bathroom and the bedroom door.Is thisa concern?" 2. To understandthe extent of how serious a leak is etc... cannot be based on such a short statement that you wrote (shown in red, above). 3. Feng Shui is a holistic approach and many other considerations like: firstly, location, location and location; the facing direction, the flying star numbers... da da da ... di di di ... da da da..If you want an answerjust onthe above statement, thenmy recommendation is: get a coin: choose the significance of what is if head or tail. Thenflipthe coin and, here,whatever answer .. go for it.

1. Your question reminds me of the program: Mind your language. Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Your_Language 1.1 In fact, there is a rerun on fhis hilarious show now on one of the Starhub channel. 1.2 One should not, like the characters of the show equate it literally to fixing broken things. You wrote: "Do we need a master to evaluate the leaks or one can do it himself." 2. Of course, if everthing does not make sense to that person, then you may have to seek help. Otherwise, others have Do It Yourself (D.I.Y.)

In my opinion:- 1. The saying goes "if the house is yours, it will be yours". Usually, for majority of people, with average luck and above; can easily encounter such a situation. That is why, many attest to this saying. 2. For those who are down and out, even if the home is yours; it will not be yours. Thus, people down with luck will find everything is not so smooth. Thus they will not encounter "what is yours; but rather what could be yours becoming what is others". 3. Feng Shui is about earth luck or luck from the land such as a home. 4.It is said thatearth luckis strongest at the ground. Thus, in Singapore, how many own landed properties vs the vast majority that has to live "elsewhere".Don't mistaken "elsewhere" to mean the wrong thing.Elsewhere refers to often living higher floors. 5. Location, location andlocation. Thisis huge factor as it encompass even the environment, the site, the building or land that one's homesits on. And some homes can enjoy : "Quantum Leap" in Feng Shui. (Quantum Leap can be searched in this forum resource). 6. In the past, especially those Housing Development Board (HDB) flats;those single leaf main doors havevery auspiciousFeng Shui ruler dimensions : eventhe frame + the openings are based on the Feng Shui ruler. Just that this is not publicised perhaps due to the sensitivity of a multi racial society. 7.Many homes,can sustain various protusions and missing corners - not necessarly that these flats must automatically have problems.

When MRT trains gets crowded; it is another indication that somehow, threre are so more people in the country that may require public housing....

What's the problem? No problem! No smoke! Look everywhere today and construction, construction and construction of housing is on the way! DO WAIT three years time! If you need a flat. BUT if you own a home today, only cheers and cheers and cheers! Don't ask me, about the question: sell high but need to buy high; how ah? Reference on Cabinet Minister: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mah_Bow_Tan P.S. Singaporeans MAY know what "Marlboro Tan" means-

1. In my opinion, you got it all mixed up. Both authority and determination are nothing close to relation or spouse sort of thing. 1.1. Authority refers to things like leadership skill. And more authoritative in nature. 1.2.While determination is really what it means; being determined. 2. Ba Zi Day Pillar:- 2.1 In a detailed ba zi report; 2.1.1 On relationships; please check out the sample partial extract of a detailed ba zi report. IN PURPLE: the day pillar says it all " SELF and SPOUSE" 2.1.2 House of Conception For the male; this represents the SPOUSE. And for the female her CHILD.

1. In the 1990's, MRT stations were far and few. And condos that were near to main roads were sold at around 600+ per square feet. 2. And during the recession period, such properties lost their value and some were even priced at$400+ to$500(99 years old). Many got burnt as theymade a capital loss of at least$100k, excludinginterests to banks etc... 3. Today is different: two major events:- 3.1. Look at the population statistics of Singapore. As many condos have no restriction with regards to non-residents; prices even for 99 years are shooting over the roof (not considering those freehold ones). 3.2.Just look at how many cars on our road today vs when I enjoyed driving in the 1980's... 4. End of communism (other than the crazycountry called North Korea). 5.Just having a mammoth giant atour back yard i.e. China (not including India) and today, I feel is different. Prices of properties will continue to climb. 6. Leasehold properties even 99 years can easily fetch $800 psfand to the crazy price of the condo at Ang Mo Kio Central that fetched

1. Yes, psychologically speaking, so long as the bed is not in full view of the main door; especially for your layout; there is no major advantages in having a partition. 2. Alternatively, if one feels uncomfortable; then "slam shut" the main door when not in use is another sterling solution. 3. In fact, your layout plan is far better (not the best) but better than the other two attachments: Depot Road flats; where the main door opens directly towards the balcony area. Such flats, is more critical than your layout plan.

1. Please see my comments on the attachment. 2. For the benefit of users, here; I have attached "similar" type of (slanted) main door - apartments. The flats are located at Depot Road. For example 111A depot road. These flats started their lease around 1995.

Further to what I had mentioned, just re-looked at the layout plan:- 1. Looks like the large expanse of windows and main door open towards the car garage. 2. Other than the concern for the rain, always good to have some openings at the side of the lawn and at the bedroom, the windows could be opened. 3. This is to avoid any remote possibility of carbon monoxide - if the garage door is closed and the fumes from the vehicles inadvertently "craw" into the home. (Nice-to do: Some invest in a reasonably priced carbon monoxide detector in the living room area and bedroom). 4. Of course commonsense not to store any inflammable items in this garage.

Frankly, it is better to see the real thing than to imagine. Like the saying goes " a picture (layout) tells a thousand words."

These are additional considerations:- 1. Earth luck is strongest on the ground. Thus for a landed property, the sitting and facing direction is much easier to get correct: unless the land is complicated by e.g. the back of the home faces a beautiful lake etc... 2. But if your "potential house" is really not a landed property but a so called high rise; What makes one think that you can get the facing direction 100 percent correct? Even amongst geomancers; can't agree with the sitting and facing direction. 3. As mentioned under Para 2; G.I.G.O. If one feels that facing direction is West but instead the real facing direction is another facing direction.... 4. Facing west simply means sitting east facing west. 5. Such assessment has a higher weightage for landed property as mentioned earlier: earth luck is strongest at the ground level. But if one is say at higher floors; then the higher the floor; such things as north facing (water element) has less and less "strength". 6. As mentioned, proper Feng Shui is holistic in nature: comprising Shapes and Forms, the location and even compass school of Feng Shui: Eight House and Flying Star. 7. Thus posting a few lines or sentences to request for which is the best facing is like a person trapped in communist country in the 1970's or even 1980's... with no knowledge of what is beyond the wall! 8. Do a search in the forum for "Quantum Leap" and things like north = water good for mum or not is considered as "peanuts". There are bigger things, really.

1. Please see attachment. 2. In my opinion the main door face only a tiny area of the bedroom corner thus generally OK. 3. From the layout, can't really tell whether to go upstairs, it is from A to B or from the area B to A. 4. Ifthestart of the staircase is from A to B; then best to close the main entrance door when not in use; as if we stand at the main door and see the staircase ... "coming down" this is symbolic of wealth flowingdown the staircase and the"nearest" exit point is via the main entrance. 5. Thus in terms of "wealth" leak;if the entrance of the staircase starts at A; this is inmy opinion, a greater concern than the tiny protusion of the bedroom corner wall.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Location, location and location Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is very important. And this thing about: location, location and location has the highest weigtage than say a west or north house. 2. Unfortunately, it is difficult to comment your statement without a bigger picture: the environment, the site, the home or building. 3. And equally critical are the issues of the interior layout of the home! For example, what is the use of a west or north home if the sector of the bedrooms and mum's bedroom is located. 4. For example, even if the west home is good, but if one plots a proper flying star and there are lots of #5 and or #2 and or with #9; then it is just as bad. 5. Like an earlier posting; where original issue could be a home at the "T-junction". But, in essence, a greater concern could be a petrol station which is less than 1 km radius of that home. 6. Thus, again, unfortunately, your question is like: might as well flip a coin: heads or tails. Without indepth information; the advice is akin to G.I.G.O. Garbage in garbage out...

1. Please note that being a strong water horse etc... on it's own cannot tell such things. 2. One has to dwell deeper into one's personal ba zi analysis. And one of the areas in general is Your Ten Deities & Key Characteristics

1. Well all the very best in your house hunting! 2. Franky, most of what I had mentioned has more to do with commonsense. And many of the Feng Shui concepts is based largely on commonsense. Just that many don't link commonsense with FS. 3. In my personal opinion, it is good that you have second thoughts. As originally, on the surface, the main concern is about a simple subject: House at a T-junction. 4. But what really, really worries me is the fumes from the petrol station. IT MAY or may not affect your home. But, can never know how the wind carries the vapours. As petrol is light, it definitely can leak and may be cancerous. While diesel is heavier and less of a concern. 5. Personally, after thorough look, I am rather fearful of living close on the ground level and pretty nearby to the petrol station. As one can never compromise on health - prevention is better than "cure".

GOOD NEWS! I have now kicked my addiction to rubber glue. As we have now moved into a new home. The further excellent news is that the petrol smells so nice! I love this new home! Let's hope the wind always brings this nice smell into our home! Ain't it great to live near a petrol station! WE LOVE THIS NEW HOME!

Hey! GUYS! You only visit me! My family and myself have to stay here! Don't be like that! Why so unfriendly! Wear masks?

Have taken a closer look at the googlemap:- 1. As there is a curve (in purple) which is good as it helps to slow down any vehicle; while the straight path is also a shorter distance; this is favourable; vs a long straight path where any moving object can accelerate to max speed. In this case, only high performance cars have such a power or force. 2. Furthermore, can really see the wall or boundary of the home. Thus, in my opinion, the so called House at T-junction issue is not the most important concern. 3. Again, I am more truly concerned about tailwind fumes from the petrol station.

These are further considerations:- 1. From the google map, the shopping centre is not a threat. 2. From your first picture, it does not shown any external boundary walls if any nor the high ground or high ground with any ditch or drainage that may directly stop a moving object in it's track before, it ploughs into a home. (This is rare but this is fundamentally one of the cornerstones in the concept that a home at a T-junction is inauspicious besides; the sha qi (movement of air/wind) of a house at such a location. 3. I am more concerned about the home very close to the petrol station. More so, about the fumes rising from say the storage tanks below ground and thru topping up the tanks via tankers and even people pumping fuel. If there is a tailwind towards plot 18; sniffing fumes can in a prolonged situation cause sickness and sometimes cancerous. 4. Thus, overall, I am more scared of Para 3 than Para 2, above. Note: For those who are posting images; always remember: Source & Credit: to so and so... please

Further to what I had mentioned; earlier we were looking at MICRO Feng Shui or simply a 2 Dimensional look at any threats (a run-away moving object in a straight-line) or opportunities (high ground & surrounding wall). We must equally apply Shapes and Forms Feng Shui via enviromental scanning using the top-view or helicopter approach. The Helicopter view; shows three major considerations so far:- 1. A rectangular plot of land. This plot 18 is rectangular thus a plus point. But be cautious, here. We have not seen any drainage behind the home if any. If so, drainage is another consideration be it behind or for a corner home; beside the home and how it drains out of the home into this larger drain. 2. Profile of the home. Looks odd shaped (either missing corner(s) or protrusions). 3. Another more critical issue is: Does the corner of the Shopping centre pose a threat in terms of a poison arrow aimed towards plot 18? 3.1 If so, lets "forget" about the runaway car etc.. as this could even be more of a major concern - if so for this plot 18, first! See attachment. 3.2 However, from your illustration, if there is a row of trees that shades or masks the corner of the Shopping centre aimed towards plot 18 or maybe 20; then the issue of such a poison arrow is negated or neutralised. 4. Another consideration is the petrol station. 4.1 Have to be extra careful especially of the fumes and wind that may blow the vapours towards the home. (Cancer causing). 4.2 A petrol station in flames is another REMOTE consideration. : On 10/13/2010 8:29:27 AM, Cecil Lee wrote:

1. Thanks for the excellent sketch! 2. The key concept behind a home at a "T-junction" is always the rare probability of a "run-away" vehicle travelling in a straight line. 2.1. Most of the time such a run away vehicle is often caused by either an intoxicated driver and rarely a case where the car cannot stop. 2.2. Thus, in past forum messages, I had mentioned; another critical consideration is which country is one ini.e. right hand or left hand drive. 2.3. Next, is we use some imagination to figure out whether a regular car travelling along it's proper land ploughs straight ahead. 2.4. In you illustration; it is good to know that under Para 2.3. the car would instead plough into the front wall of the home. As the opposite arrow is directly away from the main gate of the home. Thus, not so bad. 2.5. What is often worst is to travel a straight-line and meet the gate of the home and subsequently; 2.6. From your picture, it looks like there is a solid wall at the frontage. And hoepfully, this would be able to stop any runaway vehicle and contain it at it's tracks (hopefully). PLUS the HIGH GROUND is an additional good advantage. 3. The above is the chain of effects that lead to the main purpose of why it is (commonsense) to avoid a home at a "T-Junction". 4. Thus other plus factors include; the bigger the compound the better; where is the windows and main door located in relation to the "t-junction". 5. The other factor is sha qi or poison arrow. For example, again it depends on whether is this an estate access road or a busy road. And how long the straight path is towards the home. And even things like whether there is a hump to slow down cars on that road. These are some other factors to be considered. 6. In general, I am sure, some of us have seen worst homes at a "t-junction" than what you had sketched out. Thus if properly "done" and if there are no other homes to consider; then this one is (not the best) but neither is it at the bottom list of a so called home at a "t-junction".
