1. My must precise compass is as shown in these photos. 2. I use a solid brass compass with mineral glass cover. 3. I also added a protractor to the base of this heavy and solid brass encased compass; so that I can record the exact compass degree to any 1 degree increments. 4. If one looks closely, the added protractor is already turning yellowish. 5. As I had this compass for more than 18 years. 6. Please don't ask me where I bought it or where to get it. As I happen to pass an antique shop ...... and thinking out of the box; felt that I should get it. 7. This compass served me well especially in high rise complexes. The readings are always precise. A must for a reading done for one of the Big Four Accountancy firms who were looking for a new premises in Marina One...

I have several clients staying in this cluster home. And hope you understand for confidentiality, I did not publish or rather choose not to review this "landed property-cluster" development openly.

These are some considerations: 1. I have checked your profile and understand that you are from Canada. 2. Please take note that all modern buildings do have "metal" embedded in them. Even if it is a wooden home; there are nails and even metal plate joints. 3. And in many colder countries; where there are floor heating; some developments choose to use piping to heat up the floor. 4. For a home that uses concrete or bricks; the builders often use re-enforced steel bars to strengthen the building or home. 5. Modern skyscrapers also use lots of steel in their construction. 6. Thus all these metal are not friendly to a compass. 7. In my opinion, this is why your compass goes haywire most of the time. 8. Sometimes even when we stand on a patch of grass; inadvertently, if some metal is buried into the near-by ground; and if one were to use a compass needle may also be deflected towards or away depending on the polarity of the metal in the ground or pillar. 9. One tried and tested method in the past was and still is to find some VIRGIN ground nearby to the home and take the readings. For example do try to face exactly where the home is aligned towards etc.. 10. One can also get a copy of the street directory in your city and location of your home. 10.1. Please note that ALL street directories all over the world uses the same convention: North or 0/360 is exactly at the top and South or 180 degrees is at the bottom. 10.2. Please see sample attachment. These are local Singapore maps. 11. I used a protractor. If one examines the illustrations carefully, the protractor has the 0/360 placed at the top or apex of the street-map. And the corresponding 180 degrees at the bottom most of the frame. 12. If you can determine the outline of your home; use the protractor to find the exact direction of that direction. 13. One can even use google maps or your country's local electronic / web-based map. 14. For difficult locations; I use a shielded by thick brass exterior casing. That often used in a ship.

The frangipani tree is in excellent health and has beautiful pink flowers, displaying a high level of maturity.

There is really a Whole Child Nurture Centre @ Fernvale And the above centre is close-by to where this photo was taken. To the left of this photo is Lush Acres on the extreme left is H20. In between are show-rooms of two ..... new launches... P.S. The Half Child Nurture Centre unfortunately is fictitious .. in case you also want to save on child fees...

+++++ At a Poulet outlet at Vivo city ++++++ A mother: " How much is for half-a-chicken?" Waitress: "Madam, it is $15/-. While a whole chicken costs only $35/-." A mother: "OK give me half-a-chicken" +++ Next day.... @ Whole Child Nurture Centre +++ The same mother: " How much for half a-child?" Principal: " Whole child for a month is $2,450/-.

1. In my opinion, since you are going to replace it on or around September 9th; and this is just 8 days or less. 2. If it is me; I would instead do a swop after I had obtained a replacement unit (if any). 3. These are not considered as items and not religious relics or figurines; thus, best to e.g. wrap it up in newspaper and throw it away. Just like any other "rubbish" into the bin is fine or okay or acceptable. 4. The reason I recommend the method under Para 3; instead of burying it is because although say the wood can decompose; but if there is a mirror at the middle and if the mirror is made of glass; 4.1. This glass material may take 100's of years to decompose - if it is possible. 4.2. And if it should be broken, it can be a safety hazard when a person or child steps on it. Or if one has a playful dog; it may just get its' mouth on it and chew/digest... erh.. I don't even want to think ... about it... P.S. I realised that this thread was one of the earliest postings when we migrated from one of those free forums to our very own server based forum. This is the history and time-line ....

Compass Point no more. From today onwards it's Compass One Please avoid visiting a newly opened mall or rather a newly refurbished mall on it's first day or re-opening.

HDB Hougang Crimson Just T.O.P.

First Impression counts... The perimeter fencing surrounding the development has that classic and distinctive personalised feel: specially designed and installed just for this Lush Acres development. If one does not know where Lush Acres was; and was blind folded.. And later the blind fold removed.. I would not believe that this development was in a sub-urban district. The external design of each block / stacks elude "class". There is also the stylish club-house and designer furniture... Even the entrance : the guardroom; the drop-off point looks luxurious and classy... Near-by.. La Fiesta and even Luxurie condo looks "cheap" when compared to it even though it is just superficial beauty...

Just T.O.P. in August during the Chinese 7th month. Today, 1st September 2016 is the 1st day of Chinese 8th month... clients collected keys and went in..

Nowadays you guys have to place a pack of tissue paper to reserve the seat. Look at me! With this model of a chair; I merely have to place my "barang-barang" (Malay word for items / things) ... That easy right? And.. "SORRY! THIS SEAT IS TAKEN!" =================================== Tell it to the Shenton Way, Marina Bay and Financial District office workers.. and one may hear a unified voice: " WE WANT THIS! WE WANT THIS! Lau Pa Sat , Maxwell food centre, Amoy Street Food centre, Capital Square food outlets... YES! WE WANT! WE WANT !!!

Many of us just walk past coffee-shop furniture without blinking an eye. When I see this elderly lady utilize this iconic chair. I see both the pure beauty of the form and function of this chair! Even if this chair looks dated. This is why I believe so many new kopi-tiams; food courts etc.. don't stock it any more. Does not blend with their modernistic décor? Who cares... Contrast this with the photo of the stylish green chairs. Although both chairs should provide comfortable seating.. but this green chair lacks the added function. Let's hope more coffee-shops; Chinese restaurants like Soup Restaurant etc.. use this kind of chairs. For example, when did you go to restaurants like Soup Restaurant and Din Tai Fung try to find some place your purchases / umbrella or even to hang your handbag? As these restaurants don't have a luxury of providing you with an extra chair to place all these? x a few family member's belongings... Cheers!

A highly unusual "cork-screw" Head at the frontage of this house / apartment complex. Most likely the architect collect "cork-screws" as a hobby? And managed to convince his/her poor clients to do the same.. but visually ...

The Red House Although Red symbolises prosperity to the Chinese. Seldom we see actual homes or apartment complexes in bold chilli or maroon red. However, it is different for shop owners or iconic hotels. But once a while; a bold architect with a bolder client may just get together and ... P.S. Note the Red door with white borders belongs to a Bao shop where I stood to take the photos...

Please ignore the rubbish bins at the bottom of each of the photos. This home in Tanjong Katong Road has fence motifs that resembles the Swastica

HDB Bedok North Woods and Common sense 1. Common sense says that: 1.1. If possible avoid a home that is constantly bathe by direct or indirect afternoon sun rays. 1.2. It is obvious what direct afternoon sun rays are like. For example a West unit where standing inside the living room the facing direction is West or SW (slight slant). 1.3. Less obvious are the indirect afternoon sun rays. 1.3.1 For example, some young couples happily go into a resale flat and find the house lovely. 1.3.2 One thing that they forgot was that the owners turned on the air-con during their visit(s). 1.3.3 Some couples after having purchased that unit and on a hot sunny day could suddenly feel the heat oozing out of e.g. the master bedroom wall even right up to 7, 8 or 9 pm. 1.3.4 If one is prepared to turn on an air-conditioner all night long then fine or ok. Otherwise, even a ceiling fan does not actually help. As hot air is continuously circulated as the walls still give off the heat. 2. Coming back to HDB Bedok North Woods; I always look at a development to find where the precinct pavilion is located. 3. For example, for low floors stacks #413, #415 and #431 directly faces the precinct pavilion. Who cares if this is the back of the pavilion. Or even the front. The precinct pavilion is still in full view of nearly all windows and balconies (if any). 4. On the opposite side: low storeys of stacks #445 and #447 equally face the front side of the precinct pavilion. 5. One more consideration is that for these two stacks #445 and #447; the potential roof-line of the precinct pavilion is like a sickle knife or a rough representation of a knife blade slicing towards a specific stack of either and or #445 and #447. 6. Common sense says that for example; this is the Chinese New Year. And unfortunately, a wake was carried out in the precinct pavilion.....

Water seems to By-pass our development. No wonder.. people at HDB called our development a CREEK.. What has the geomancer got to say about this?
