Question: Hi master lee, one quick question if we start the renovation now and it will stretch into 7th month, is ok right? Reply: "The idea of not starting in the 7th month is just in case one of them stays in a vacant home. And if one starts reno during 7th month... they may get angry." "But they are also like human beings. If you start renovations now and continue during 7th month... "they" would rather visit (if any) other homes that are less noisy."

HDB flats in the 1st phase of Edgefield plains
Cecil Lee posted a topic in Singapore Property Review
Attached, please find a sample illustration showing a typical flat along a common corridor. In this example, it is a 5-bedroom flat. Here, one can see that besides the main entrance door; there are two more openings at the common corridor side: the dining table and bedroom 4. Both with sliding windows. -
HDB flats in the 1st phase of Edgefield plains
Cecil Lee posted a topic in Singapore Property Review
HDB flats in the 1st phase of Edgefield plains 1. The first batches and the earliest batches of HDB flats in Punggol were build at Edgefield Plainsand Edgedale Plains were built closest to the TPE highway side. Today, this entire stretch parallel to the TPE is fully built. And many new flats are now built closer to the "other side" which is Coney Island and the sea closest to Johore Bahru - Malaysia 2. The least commencement dates of most of these flats are in the year 2003. 3. During that time, majority of these flats were built around that development's Multi-storey car park (MSCP). 4. And in fact, nearly every openings in the home less the main door and some kitchen windows open inwards towards the MSCP. 4.1 This means that unlike many units along the common corridor which usually have the living room windows and a bedroom window openedtowards the common corridor; here the bomb shelter occupies the location where often a bedroom is. This is to achieve close to total privacy unless an occupant choose to partially open the main door. 5. Even this 4-bedroom layout plan has just one opening (the main entrance) door at the common corridor side. Otherwise, all the blue arrows shows the windows facing this MSCP court-yard. 6. The disadvantage of such a design is that especially for higher floor units; one often get to see a neighbour's flat frontage at a distance. And no external views of the surroundings. Perhaps, this is a good thing; especially if the site next to one's development is up for construction. And the construction noise and dust can often be up to 3 years or more. 7. The newer HDB plots / blocks in Punggol today, are closer and closer to the sea and the waterway. And many no longer adopt such a design as mentioned, above. 8. In the past, older estates are the opposite. The flats face outwards and often towards the road. And they seldom face inwards towards the open car-parks unless the blocks are sandwiched parallel to each other in a larger plot of land. -

These are some considerations: 1. Location, location and location. 1.1. A major key success factor is location, location and location. This should be the most important consideration, first. 1.2. In addition, the saying "A picture (or photo) tells a thousand words. All text... difficult to visualise". Sometimes, it is good to take a look at each layout plan: how rectangular or whether there are missing corners or whether where are the toilets vis a vis the main entrance or frontage etc... 1.3. Thus, in my opinion; with the limited information that you provided; it is not ideal to say A or B is better for both persons. 1.4. Another scientific guideline of applying the Eight House concept is to prepare a chart. In this example, which I had just posted; of doing a check list. In this check list; both 1st and 2nd stacks had a score of 4/8 and the last or 3rd stack scoring only 1.5/8 marks.

These are additional resources mostly highlights on blocks 1, 3 and 5 that you had requested on key concerns that I have observed in most North and South facing stacks/units and in particular Sea Horizon. The additional resources can be found, here: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=35156&new=

Part 14: Sea Horizon Executive Condo (EC) and Stacks #04, #08 & #12 These are some considerations: 1. Period 8, Flying Star N2 facing with Master bedroom or a bedroom at NW sector. 2. In most instances in Sea Horizon EC these are stacks #04, #08 & #12. 3. Please see attachment. 3.1. Under Flying Star Feng Shui this sector has the mountain star #2 with water star #5 at NW. 3.2. When these two stars are at this 2 5 combination; and if it is a bedroom; this star is notorious for afflicting health issues/problems to WOMAN. Often leading to hospitalisation. 3.3. Thus, often if this is the master bedroom; it means health concerns for usually a lady between 20 years of age or older. 3.4. Fortunately, it does not affect young girls. Thus if this is the master bedroom; it does not affect the husband or a baby girl or teenage girl sleeping with you. 3.5. In the additional attachment of an annual Flying Star chart. In this example it is the annual flying stars of 2014. In that year, the #5 misfortune/sickness star falls into the NW sector. 3.6. And if this was this unit where the NW has a combination of #2 #5 stars; then be careful of serious health concerns for a women sleeping in this sector. Generally, a child or teenager is "exempted" from this concern or a man or boy. 4. What happens if the Flying Star combinations instead are #5 with #2? Here, health issues can affect both male and/or female and/or young or old and in particular the stomach and or sustainhands and legs injuries. Contrast this with the above 2 5 combination. These two looks similar but have different characteristics in afflictions.

Part 13: Sea Horizon Executive Condo (EC) and Blocks 1, 3 & 5 with stacks? #02, #06 & #10. 1. For south facing stacks; often before purchase one should be aware of the concern of?the Fire?@ Heaven's?Gate. 2. Since in many apartments; the kitchen / stove of a south facing unit often is located at either NE side or NW side of the unit. 3. For Sea Horizon EC stacks #02, #06 & #10: It would be inauspicious if the stove is especially located at the NW cardinal point. If the stove is not exactly at true NW; then this is less of a concern. 4. Attachment showing South facing stacks and potential Kitchen/stove at NW sector. Particularly stacks 02, 06 and or 10 Resources on Fire at Heaven's gate: Potential cure: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=19305&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=16138&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=18801&new= Alternatively, can use the SEARCH feature on the TOP-left frame of this forum to search for "Fire at Heaven's Gate"

The Visionaire EC @ Sembawang: By Ranking Exercise of?11 stacks of the same bedroom type in the development. In this illustration, so happens that both husband and wife belongs to the West group. Therefore, all the blue coded stack numbers are considered suitable to the West group breadwinner or to both partners. The red coded stack numbers are more suitable to an East group person. Please see attachment.

Part 12: Sea Horizon Executive Condo (EC): Hot sunny day and swimming pool water condensation 1. In conditions where there are few clouds and direct sunlight; especially pool marked in red as "X" may often get the most sunlight and also when the windows are blowing from North to Southerly direction. 2. Thus, if so, the pool water evaporation rate may be high. 3. For those especially living at low floors and who open their windows while the rest of the neighbours close their to go to work; 3.1. These units may often get the most from the "pool water with high concentration of chlorine particles." 3.2. This is typical of e.g a 1st storey or 2nd storey unit e.g. at either stack 36, 40 or even 44. Where there can be a new born or a young child and the windows are opened. 3.3. The fortunate thing is often such young children would built resistance after 6 months. Thus sometimes; for the first few months after moving in.. they may often have lung issues but this will often go away. Or where other neighbours of similar levels open their windows. 4. Again, if it is a sunny and relatively non-cloudy day. And because of the U windows even if blown from the NE or Northly direction would be funnelled towards Blocks 3 and 5. 4.1 As pool marked in red as Y is aligned more to the rightcloser to blocks 21 and 23; 4.2. Following the window vapour trails (see attachment); most likely the wind or vapour trails would have the highest concentration at stack #05 and even #08. 4.3. Thus if one is especially living at #01-05 , #02-05 or even #03-05 or #01-08 may have the same concern as mentioned under Para 3.3, above. 5. Stacks #05, #08, #09, #12 and #04 and #01 would on many occasions "enjoy" windy days. However, if it may not be a good thing if residents at these stacks hang their clothes (although technically illegal) could dry fast but if not secured properly may fly away. 6. And yes, if residents of#05, #08, #09, #12 and #04 and #01 are considering installingoutdoor blinds... the "cheap" ones will not last..may have to fork out a bit more for a better quality outdoor blind... 7. Please see attachment showing the potential vapour trails of evaporated "dirty" water from the swimming pools: in particular the two pools marked in red as "X" and "Y". Pool "X" would be the most concern as it is the one that will be exposed to longer hours in a hot sunny day...

Caution... for those who have a unit at stacks #01or #02... I suggest .. please don't scroll down and read this.... . . . . . . . . . . Actung! Last warning... 1. I will certainly look further into Blocks 1, 3 and 5 when I have the time. 2. My?initial?observations are of stacks #01 and #02: 2.1. Where stack #01 seems to have?around 2 poison arrows or sharp corners of the jagged edges?of?neighbouring stack #48. Please see attachment of the purple arrows. 2.2. In addition stack #02 also seems also?to have two poison arrows or sharp corners of #47 aimed at it! Please see attachment of the yellow arrows. 2.3. Furthermore, both stacks face the "backside of stack #47 and #48. Meaning... if these units located at these two stacks hang their "flags" sorry I mean clothes / underwear / bra.. imagine... those staying at stacks #01 and #02 would literally know their?neighbours "inside-out". 2.4.?Thus both #01 and #02 "suffer" from poor views. Imagine.. buying a unit?to look at these two stacks air-con compressors etc.. 3. In addition, these two stacks are sitting directly on top of the entry and exits of ?the entire development. Not exactly auspicious. 3.1. And common sense?says that somehow;?just?imagine, lots of traffic moving around your basement lobby entrance area.?And I would be concerned for my young ones.. if left alone to run around this area.??

Botanique @ Bartley Feng Shui - By Ranking Exercise This ranking exercise is in conjunction with specific stacks of The Poiz Residences. The Poiz ranking is in green colour
-
The Poiz Residences and a very specific focus on just three stacks to rank or choose from. In fact, each stack/unit has some differences. Thus one must really sit down and look through all the points of each of the three chart. This is a very tedious exercise as it is as good as doing a total of three detailed Feng Shui audits. Thus this is not the typical By Ranking Exercise.

1. Part 4: Sturdee Residences Condo @ Sturdee Road and 4 Bedroom Type 2. Please see attachment of Bedroom 3:- 2.1. Be careful of sleeping with bed-head / face close to the wall sharing the WC piping of the Master Bedroom Toilet 3. In addition, there is a WC (Toilet) close to the main entrance door. Usually, in many other developments / layouts; this area would have just been the wet kitchen area. An In-depth understanding of the Frontage of a home. Is it always the main door? Who are the Conservatives & the Modernist. What lead to the Conservatives use of the Main Door only? 1. Who are the Conservatives and the Modernists? 2. An in-depth understanding of why the Conservatives has misunderstood the knowledge passed down by the ancients. For High Rise Compass Reading should be taken from the living room looking out of it. For eg. towards the living room windows or its balcony (if applicable)

1. Part 3: Sturdee Residence Condo @ Sturdee Road 2. Sturdee Residence 3 bedroom type floor plan has serious issues under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui alone. Not counting the addition of Flying Star Feng Shui review of it. 3. For the 3 bedroom floor plan; the bathroom 2 sink is in the centrepoint of the home. Usually, this affects the health of a "woman" in the house which often if there is a woman is the wife or the spouse. Or if there is an elderly staying in this home; also the elderly woman. 4. It is highly unusual to see the kitchen especially the stove within the frontage of a home. 4.1. In addition, this 3 bedroom type frontage also shares it with an air-con ledge. Notice that there is a second air-con ledge between bedroom 3 and the yard. I can understand if this is a landed property where there can be more than one air-con mounted area. But this is just a 3 bedroom unit and it is rare to find air con units scattered into two areas; and worst; one set is at the frontage although it is "sealed" or there is a wall at the frontage. Which again means the frontage has less openings. 4.2. Furthermore; it is also uncommon to see the frontage also has a master toilet. By right for such a "small" home; the architect should have concentrated all the toilets/wc next to each other. Thus better Feng Shui. 4.3. It is also highly unusual to find a WC where the kitchen is suppose to be at (near to the main entrance area). Yet another No, no in Feng Shui. 5. If this is the 1940's and if this was Germany, most likely the Germans would literally hang this architect with a piano string and leave it out open for all to see as an example of?what not to design. Fortunately, this is SGP and most likely, this architect gets to build another horrendous building with yet another out of this Feng Shui world design.

Part 2: Sturdee Residence Condo @ Sturdee Road 1. In my opinion, if one has purchased a unit at Sturdee Residence should consider thanking either the developer of Kerrisdale condo or if the developer cannot be found; go thank the residents at Kerisdale condo. 2. This is because the plot of land that Sturdee Residence resides is directly facing or in a straight line with the frontage of Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple. 3. In addition, the bigger brother Kerisdale envelopsthree more Chinese temples such as: Sakaya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple, Hock Siew Tong Temple & Leong San See Temple. 4.Sturdee Residence condo higher floorstacks that are N2 orNE2 facing would get adistantview of Sri Vadapathira Kaliamman Temple. 5. The S2 and SW2 facing stacks get to see the conserved row of shop house or it's roof line.

Feng Shui of Sturdee Residence Condo @ Sturdee Road: 1. Sturdee Residence Condo comprises of two blocks of flats in a wide "V" formation. 2. Essentially, this is a common design to maximise a small plot of land. As well as making sure that all stacks/units have unobstructed views. 3. One block that comprises: stacks #08 and #09 faces true cardinal point South. In Flying Stars Feng Shui: Period 8 S2 facing stacks. 3.1. Stacks in this block such as #10, #11 & #12 faces N2 facing. 3.2. The other block has stacks that are either NE2 facing or SW2 facing. 3.3. Under Flying Stars Feng Shui, the best stacks in this development are also the bigger units i.e. #08 and #09. 3.4.This is because under current Period 8: these two stacks have the double auspicious #8's at it's facing direction. 3.5. In particular stack #09 faces the pool. While stack #08 is slightly less advantages because it faces the tennis court. 3.6. Here Stack #09 literally faces Yang water position. While Stack #08 facing yin water where although it does not face real water; a tennis court is generally flat and this provides "clear space" = virtual water position. 3.7. One thing I don't quite like about stack #08 is the view from the higher units looking down not onto a water position but the outline of the tennis court. 3.8. And lower floors of stack #08 get to hear the sounds of tennis balls hitting the tennis racket and often the call from the players when they count the score. 3.9 Stacks #01, #06 & #07 are SW2 facing stacks. This block or wing that also includes the smaller sized units: 02, 03, 04 & 05 faces NE2. 4. This development has stacks that are suitable to both the East group = N2 or S2; and the West group = NE2 or SW2 facing stacks. 5. The SW2 stacks would expect to be "hotter" as it gets indirect unobstructed afternoon sun at an angle to it. Thus, Stacks such as #01, #06 & #07 can get pretty hot in the afternoon and even in the early evening. 6. NE2 has the the mountain star #8 is at the frontage; In order to activate the pearl string effect; likely there is no Yang or real water at it's frontage. 7. SW2. Shares quite similiar characteristics as NE2. But as it enjoys an auspicious "parent string" combination; it has much better Feng Shui than NE2. But as mentioned under Para 5 above: high floors may get a dose of indirect afternoon sunlight.

1. Please see sample illustration. 2. As both Mr and Mrs are Strong Fire persons; one of their binding elements is METAL. 3. Thus if both are the owners or subsidiary proprietors of a condo unit; then it is better to get a Guan Yin that e.g. has pure white clothing (less the colourful lotus leaf colours) that she sits onto. 3.1 Or the clothing she wears is gold in colour. 3.2 Usually the figurines have "natural tone" colours. 4. The next thing is to walk around and stare at her face. Often, instinctively, if one likes that statue's face; then this is a potential buy. 5. Often the other more common material is a wooden Guan Yin figurine or a Guan Yin that has substantial greenish clothing. If so, this Guan Yin statue for example fits someone who is e.g. a weak wood element person. 6. If one is at a lost; then the more common (without looking at one's best ba zi elements) is a body that is in white.

eCO condominium at Bedok South/Tanah Merah and Townhouse Type T8 layout plan 1. As mentioned earlier, for Townhouse homes; it is best to superimpose the 1st storey layout plan with the 2nd storey plan. 2. For Townhouse Type T8 layout plan; the wet kitchen stoves are above bedroom 2. 3. Fortunately, this is often not the location of the bed / bed-head area. Thus, although it is not ideal; at least better than some other layout plans where in some instances it is directly above the bed / bed-head area. 4. The only remote concern is "touchwood" should a fire start at the 1st storey kitchen and if it is prolong; the floor close to the bedroom 2 bedroom door and the passage to the 1st storey may not be passable due to the heat/flash fire (if any). 4.1 Please see attachment.

eCO condominium at Bedok South/Tanah Merah and Townhouse T1E These are some considerations if a home has two or more storeys:- 1. On the second storey, do check or super-impose the ground floor layout plan onto the 2nd storey plan. 1.1. In this example of the Type T1E; one will notice that the wet kitchen stove is directly above bedroom 3. 1.2. There are two concerns, here:- 1.2.1 Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, it is inauspicious for the bed-head and bed to be directly above this wet kitchen stove. 1.2.2 Based on common sense, it is also not ideal to have the kitchen and in particular the stove above bedroom 3. This is because, there is a higher probability of a fire starting in the kitchen / stove area. And as fire and heat travels upwards, it may cause a "flash" fire / super-heated directly above which is bedroom 3. 2. In such a two or more storey homes; there are other concerns such as where are the toilets especially WC bowls at the 2nd floor in relation to the ground floor. As often, a developer may have the toilet and wc directly above the main entrance door etc.. 2.1. And it is also not ideal to have a toilet/wc directly above a dining table. And for those who install an altar; also avoid having the toilet/wc above such an altar: be it a catholic altar; a Chinese altar e.g. Guan Yin or even a Poojah (Hindu altar) etc...

Sennett Residence and Flying Star Feng Shui Majority of the stacks/units in this development either face Flying Stars Period 8 E3 or W3. E3 facing stacks: It is such a waste that the combined auspicious wealth stars are wasted at the "rear" of the apartment. This is usually where the kitchen and yard are located. W2 facing stacks:It is good to have clear space or a water position at the living room side. As the frontage of this facing has the double auspicious combinations of water wealth stars. The only drawback is also the DIRECT afternoon sun. Wealth but "cooked" or "roasted" by the afternoon sun.
