Hopefully, all new condos and EC developers play their part by including the actual location of the central rubbish bins. In some developments there may be two: normal or regular rubbish and another one for recycling.

Hillion Residence and Onemap.sg The outline of the three blocks in Hillion Residence now appears on onemap.sg. I have taken the liberty to prepare the compass markings on this map. There is a 4 degrees difference between the onemap vs streetdirectory.com map. For example: the E1 for onemap shows 77 degrees. But for streetdirectory is 73 degrees. A small 4 degrees variance. Fortunately, it makes no difference as the stacks/units still face either E1, W1, S1 or N1.

1. Le Quest has similar stacks such as the sample below that has the kitchen and stove at NW. 2. In Feng Shui, this is known as Fire at Heaven's gate. Considered inauspicious for the stove to be within the NW cardinal point. 3. For a male breadwinner, it is less than ideal to select a unit with the kitchen at NW sector. 4. Do a search in this forum for " Fire at Heaven's Gate ". 5. Generally, a kitchen especially if a stove is directly at the NW cardinal point will be inauspicious for the male-head of the house. Typically this can affect him. 6. This is because NW under the Ba Gua Trigram belongs to the Heaven (sign). And NW also represents the male-head elder of the house. 7. Thus in simple terms: turning on a stove at NW will burn one's Heaven luck = not lucky and also may affect the male-head elder's career. 8. If you have done so many review as I have, even in a ranking exercise; I can pick out stacks/units in my mind that has this concern. And flag it to the potential purchaser. 9. Thus for this development, I randomly picked Block 10 stack #33 at Le Quest. For example:- 10. Mind you, there are lots, lots more of similar stacks with kitchen at NW sector in HDB Ubi Grove = caveat emptor.. let the buyer beware!

These are some considerations: 1. As you have mentioned; do expect many view points with regards to a project such as this. 2. Frankly, based on just looking at these three photos; and that you are already aware of the potential "some noise" from the SLOW traffic + the highway (and another road running below the causeway). 3. It is of my personal opinion that:- R & F Princess Cove U/C 3.1. The highway curves away from the development or the potential block/stack/unit that you are eyeing on. 3.2. And the stack/unit that you are looking is of high floor and South Facing; While majority the stacks in the two blocks the smaller and the larger block is more towards SE facing. 4. In fact, in equivalent Singapore, East Coast / Marine Parade "facing" = typically morning sun. And the side closer to UOB bank building does have also some afternoon sun. 5. Considering the unit you refer to: in my opinion is a can buy for this unit. My views may perhaps differ if asked to advice on another stack/unit.

Photos taken today. Whilst visiting Admiralty Flora. Looks like Admiralty Grove is almost there...

Just T.O.P. Interior walls are also using dry walls...

Not me Lee Hai.. lah.. My clients seems to be in a lucky streak..hehehehe Majority got called up.. to pick one... Maybe they (the agents) should flower bathe.. leh... I just found out two more got their chosen units! Most likely goes to >88% success rate..hehehehe

For the Chinese, it is considered inauspicious to give a clock. And a clock facing a unit is like giving a clock to them. This implies "death" to whoever received a clock'

Wow! My clients must have been lucky! Phew! 80 percent got their choice units some more-:)

A few of my clients got a unit?

Question: "Hi , sorry for disturbing again. For the sleep over night, may I check from what time to what time should we be there? As i heard people said differently about what time to be considered sleep over" Reply: Can argue until the cows come home. There is really no right or wrong on this. The key is: "Sleep OVER-night one night" is considered as moved-in. What time to be there? Anytime before 2359HRS. Usually, what makes sense is spent an evening there. (and from there onwards till next morning). Really, no written "bible" on such things. More to common sense. Can ask a 1,000 people, and you may get a thousand answers. No right or wrong. Pure common sense.

my parents applied a flat at Dakota Breeze, Thank you Mr Cecil again for your helpful analysis

Under Shapes and Forms, as the building is squarish, the winds hitting the corners would result in more turbulence.. less than ideal. As this ilustration, below, shows in the blue dotted outlines:-

Marina One Towers 21 and 23 For me, immediately that comes to mind are two L-shaped boots or a grown-man's moustache. In this illustration, from a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui point of view, although the largest stack/units = #08 has a nice number. It is unfortunately not the best stack given that it is at the edge of the building. Although it has stunning views, corner stacks which is literally at the edge of the development does not have optimum Shapes and Forms. Surprisingly, other than the whole "working" world may peer into these (Block 21) stacks, stacks like 09, 10, 11, 12, 13 & 14 are considered to have better Shapes and Forms. Even stacks 03, 04 and 05 also.

Sample 4 bedroom type of Le Quest:- Under symbolism in Feng Shui, some geomancers advice not to buy a unit where if one opens the door, "smashing" against a wall; identical to this layout type. Has more to do with the idea that when one enters the unit, instead of qi flowing smoothly.. one slams into a wall. To a conservative practitioner or some old folks.. they felt that this is bad Feng Shui. Overall, one has to take a holistic approach: many factors has to be considered. In my opinion, on it's own it is not a fatal error. For a home to have an issue, often there are four or more "leaks" or issues.

Take a look at this photo of Bellewaters. Not Le Quest. The recently T.O.P. Bellewaters. Although there is no horizontal sharp edges from the roof-line(s); instead the poison arrows are for example coming at a 45 degrees of the corners..

It is mandatory for all HDB sitemaps to include a copy of the block plan. The rationale is to show what one is actually purchasing. As the first thing many home owners want to know is the locate of The Central rubbish bins. HDB, has both an area and a wet area with a water pipe. This is because sometimes the waste brought to the bins have spilled liquid or some kind or other etc.. Look at this photo. In a condo, it is just a door covering the bin. No luxury for any one to place larger rubbish at the floor of the bins etc.. If one is truly unlucky to have a rogue neighbour or neighbours who often dump their waste on floor in-front of the bin. It is not possible for you to stand-there to wait for the happening and confront the neighbour(s). Isn't this bad blood?

In addition, since this is a mixed development, try to check where is the roof-top air-con cooling towers (IF ANY). What is worst is to purchase a unit. And realise that one can hear the constant humming of the cooling fans. This may affect that surrounding Feng Shui. And also not exactly a "pleasant sight".
