[Note: Masjid in Malay simply means a Mosque.] Masjid Hajjah Fatimah was built between 1845 and 1846. It stands on the site of what used to be the house of its founder, Hajjah Fatimah, from whom it takes its name. Hajjah Fatimah was a wealthy Malay woman from Melaka. She married a Bugis prince and was widowed at a young age upon which she took over her husband’s business with great success, conducting extensive trade and owning many steamers and sailing vessels. In the late 18303, her home was ransacked twice by thieves. Grateful to Allah that she was unharmed, she donated money and the land which her house stood on towards the building of a mosque, which was designed by an unknown British architect. The mosque underwent reconstruction works in the 1930’s under the supervision of Hajjah Fatimah’s great grandson, Syed Abdulrahman bin Taha Alsagoff (1880—1955). The main prayer hall was rebuilt in the saracenic style. The classical, onion-shaped dome was constructed during this phase of work. The building shows a blend of Eastern and Western architectural styles. The wooden balcony above the entrance gate reflects a Moorish design. European influences can be found in the pilasters with Doric capitals on the first three tiers of the minaret. The parapets of the minaret are inset with green glazed Chinese porcelain tiles. The minaret has a unique design, consisting of an eight—sided peak tapering towards the sky atop a two-tiered octagonal tower on a square base. In the 1960’s, the streets and buildings in this area were demolished for redevelopment works, except for Masjid Hajjah Fatimah. The mosque was gazetted as a national monument in 1973. By then, the mosque was in need of repairs. Its minaret was tilting by six degrees as it was built on sandy soil, and was nicknamed the “Leaning Tower of Singapore”. Restoration and renovation works were carried out, which included making the roof watertight and strengthening the foundations to stop the gradual tilting of the minaret. The grave of Hajjah Fatimah and a smaller, unidentified grave are located in a locked mausoleum in the compound of the mosque. The grave of her son-in-law, Syed Ahmed bin Abdulrahman Alsagoff, who married her daughter Raja Siti, lies in the adjacent room.

Another crude way of saying is “male chauvinist pig” or MCP = consider male breadwinner’s only. To make your future partner happy then both person’s dates also can. No point considering your ex anymore.

Traditionally it was based solely on the male breadwinner. For the Chinese this is why our children adopt the male’s surname not female’s eg. Spouse. Nowadays, we consider both partners. You should preferrrably consider your new partner’s birthdate. And not the person whom you are going to be separated. Thus, yours only or both yours and new partners.

Durian Talk A fully grown durian tree located along Yuk Tong Avenue / Jalan Jurong Kechil area Have you ever encountered a durian tree? If someone merely strolls by, they would likely not recognize it as a durian tree. This tree resembles any other roadside or angsana trees. Were you able to spot the durians? They are quite small in comparison, unlike the large Thai durians. Another site where durian trees may be located is at Gerald Drive, which is off Yio Chu Kang Road.

This is beyond the scope of this forum. In addition many factors have to be considered. Such as kitchen or even stove at “Fire @ Heaven’s Gate” sector etc...

This is from the same case-study as above. And there is a bottom line that says: Note: Some sector(s) may not accept bright yellow and/or bright red and/or green colour. Although this case-study represents a home audit; in Feng Shui we apply the same type of analysis for a restaurant once we have plotted a Feng Shui chart. Thus again, in Feng Shui is not about green is generally......

One of the areas where Feng Shui is used is Flying Stars Feng Shui. In this example of a bedroom 3 at East. There were combinations of water star #3 with montain star #4 = Quarrels and Conflicts. In other combinations of #3 with other numbers may even yield such things as: Quarrels, conflicts and legal entanglements or loss of wealth. As #3 symbolises "bad wood" = green. Thus, the advise for this layout is to avoid Green colour, in this case-study. This is how we identify areas that may have issues with green (if any). But it may or may not be coincidental to your restaurant. I won't know. Thus in my opinion, it may not be true in all cases: "can Green color in general prevent customers from coming into the restaurant or not good for restaurant?" In many regions, especially Islamic restaurants use mostly green.

Sorry very limited information to give proper advise.

Based on this example: Mr. should sleep closer to the window, or in the NE sector of the room, because: - The NE is his Prosperity sector. - Qi entering from the NE benefits him. - By being in this position, he also “shields” his wife from the NE, which is less favorable for her. Mrs. should sleep closer to the East sector, because: - The East is her Longevity sector. - The NE is considered her Death sector, so she should avoid sleeping near or in this area. Summary Layout: - Mr. sleeps nearer to the window/NE side (receiving auspicious Qi, and protecting Mrs. from negative NE energy). - Mrs. sleeps closer to the East side of the bed (her favorable sector). This setup is in line with Feng Shui principles, matching each person to their most favorable sector and avoiding negative influences, especially for the Mrs. +++ Option 1 also follows the same principle: **Mr. sleeps closer to the NE cardinal point**, aligning him with his Prosperity sector. - NE is most beneficial for Mr. Sleeping closer to this direction allows him to absorb the positive Qi associated with prosperity and opportunities. - This arrangement continues to prioritize Mr.'s favorable sector, enhancing his prosperity and overall energy by placing him in the most supportive position within the room. If Mrs. is also sharing the bed, it's still recommended that she avoids the NE side if this direction is not supportive (such as being her Death sector), and instead positions herself closer to a direction that benefits her—like the East for her Longevity sector. In summary: - Mr. = Closer to NE (Prosperity sector) - Mrs. = Avoids NE (if unfavorable), prefers area closer to her Longevity or other auspicious sector This arrangement upholds Feng Shui best practices for aligning sleeping positions with individual favorable sectors.

Frankly, if it is out of love and remembrance; I doubt if anyone will be offended. So Long as your hubby gives you the green light; there should be no issue to do so.

In my opinion, there will always be a difference of opinion with regards to a unit facing a "junction". In general, it has more to do with common sense: this is because of THREE (3) things: 1. More likely to have traffic accidents at a junction. 1.1. Thus, it is not ideal to live at the ground level or close to ground level of traffic junctions. As one will never know if a vehicle can hurdle down into one's lawn or backyard. 1.2. It is because of this that there is most likely a stigma of someone who stays in a home facing a junction. But WAIT! This unit is at 12 storey high. 1.3 There is no way a run amok vehicle could plough into the exact unit. Just maybe the most likely is that it smashes into a support pillar at the ground level? For a condo usually unlikely given that that there is a wide berth or distance between the road/road junction and the interior of the block/stack. 1.4 Till today; if one encounters a conservative geomancer.. and others who spread or parrot-out what they hear under Para 1.1. will also have such a STIGMA attached to it. 1.5 Thus, may affect the future resale value, also. 2. Noise pollution: if one lives at a low floor + if this is a busy junction; then there is the traffic noise. And if it is located near to the MRT tracks.. also expect some noise from it all day long. 3. MRT/LRT tracks. Units at the same level of MRT/LRT tracks may be affected by it: if the tracks curve towards a unit. Fortunately, at #12, this is not a concern. Above is purely on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. There are other considerations under Feng Shui.

Onemap.sg has started to show the outline of each block of flats at Northpark Residences. It also shows or confirm stacks such as Block 25, 27, 29 and 31 as either NE1 or SW1 facing: NE1 = 25 degrees. and SW1 = 205 degrees:- Earlier, the readings using streetdirectory.com shows NE1 27 degrees and SW1 207 degrees. Or a slight 3 degrees difference:- This illustration, below shows stacks highlighted in yellow are either facing NE1 and SW1:-

THE LEGACY OF JOSEPH BALESTIER . The story of Balestier Road began in New England (on the east coast of America), where Joseph Balestier grew up after he was born in 1788. In May 1834, Balestier arrived in Riau (now Bintan) as the American Consul with the mission to render aid to American shipping. Balestier chose to reside in Singapore, however, as he felt the island was a more important trading hub. He was named Consul to Singapore on 4 July 1836. In 1834, Balestier leased 405 hectares of land, on which he planted 89 hectares of sugar cane. The land, which became known as Balestier Plain, was bounded by Sungei Whampoa, Serangoon, Balestier and Kim Keat Roads. Unfortunately, the estate proved unviable due to heavy duties on Singapore-grown sugar. In 1848, the plantation was put up for sale and Balestier left Singapore in 1852. He died in 1858 in York, Pennsylvania. Balestier’s wife, Maria Revere (1785—1847), was a daughter of Paul Revere, a bell—maker and hero of the American Revolution. In 1843, Maria presented a bell cast by her father’s foundry to St, Andrew’s Cathedral. Known as the Revere Bell, this bell is now part of the National Museum of Singapore collection.
