Stars of Kovan condo & Floor Plans. Type A3 1. Highly unusual for the internal rubbish chute to be beside the main door entrance of the Type A3 unit. No sane architect would ever design this. But, perhaps... the architect had one drink too many?? 2. It is common to find the main entrance (marking in purple A) facing the master bedroom door (marking B). Just that for this 1 bedroom type the distance between each other is too close. Fortunately, there is no windows or openings at marking in blue "X". Otherwise, the rest of this bedroom type looks "normal".

Gem Residences @ Toa Payoh Flying Star Feng Shui Gem Residences comprises of two blocks of flats. Both blocks are situated beside a temple complex. These two blocks are aligned in a North-South purecardinal points of 0/360 vs 180 degrees. Thus all stacks in this development are either N2 or S2 facing directions. N2. Stacks/Units such as1, 2, 3,8, 9, 10, 11 & 16 has the double auspicious #8's wasted at the "back"/rear of the unit. Thus not as favourable as compared with S2 facing stacks. S2. Stacks are the best stacks for a East group person. Plusthe frontage enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. Thusbased onFlying Stars the better stack isstack #15. Only disadvantage of stacks 15, 12, 13 & 14 are that they are able to see or view the temple fringe. Many would try to avoid this - if possible. 1. Attached, please find a sample illustration of a Flying Star Period 8, S2 chart. 2. In the attachment: it is advantages for the [8] & [8] which symbolises : Prosperity, good wealth at the frontage of the home. Vs a N2 facing where this good stars are wasted at the "rear" which is usually the kitchen/yard area. 3. The only concern for a S2 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck. 4. Thus for a South facing (S2) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

Gem Residences @ Toa Payoh This development or rather their architect loves the air-con compressors until many interior layout plans invariably have their air-con compressors next to the balcony opening(s)... No wonder... I now get it! Indeed considered asa GEM of a residence!

Gem Residences @ Toa Payoh & External Feng Shui Although commercially this site is popular in the bidding exercise as there are few if any sites for development in Toa Payoh; I must say that this "gem" of a site does need to be examined closely. What I mean is that before one signs on the dotted line... one has to consider: Markings in RED and PURPLE:- 1?? Toa Payoh Seu Teck Sean Tong Temple 2?? Neighbouring Block 53 has a poison arrow aimed towards GEM residences 3?? Neigbhouring Block 94 also has a "pistol" aimed towards GEM residences 4?? Police Security Command also has two pointed building corners aimed towards GEM residences. One can literally say... "What a GEM of a residence" ... Erh... Good luck!

Gem Residences @ Toa Payoh and bad Shapes and Forms Feng Shui If ever there is an award for the worst layout plan design for the Year 2016 or for that matter throughout the years; this Gem Residences should easily win such an "award" hands-down... Gem Residences 3 bedroom-tri-key-980sf is such a design. Although it is a novel idea for a tri-key unit; but then, if one takes a look at the yellow highlighted areas in the attached layout; one can see that all three major openings i.e. all three balconies each has a bank of air-con compressors at such a frontage. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and that of qi flow; this is not an ideal situation even if some of these compressors are walled up...

I used the search feature on the top left frame of this forum and these are some of the additionalresources:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33635&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=12060&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=5232&new=

In my opinion: 1. The wall colours are also often considered. 1.1. Thus, if the exterior walls are white in colour; the metal roofing is often grey / silver tone. 1.2. If?ceramic / clay or terracotta tiles are used; often: 1.2.1 If the tiles are grey?in colour then preferably the exterior walls should be white. 1.2.2. If the tiles are clay or orange looking then there is lots of flexibility to use any colour for the exterior wall. 1.2.3. Avoid using blue coloured ceramic or terracotta tiles for the roofing - if possible. But if this is used; then the exterior wall colour should preferably be white. 1.2.4. In asia, it is also common to see ceramic / clay or terracotta tiles in maroon (kidney red) and even green in colour. But such colours are used less in other countries.

Question: No choice to put dining table in the middle of the living room as it is small. ?Just hope that it is not an issue as it is right in front of the altar? Reply: The suggested layout is acceptable. However, for practical considerations, the dining table is positioned directly in the center of the living room; it is uncertain whether this arrangement obstructs movement, particularly for elderly individuals. As previously mentioned, numerous landed properties with an altar have it oriented towards the dining table: Please refer to the attached document. You will observe that the altar is frequently situated in the area indicated by the red arrow, which faces the dining area/table. P.S. In the illustration above, kindly disregard the bed that shares the same wall as the altar, as the head of the bed should not be aligned with the altar. Nevertheless, in this depiction, the head of the bed can be easily repositioned to the opposite wall!

Please refer to my last posting. It is best to check back with the person whom you have consulted. As this involves someone has to make an effort to prepare and analyseone's birth-date etc.. For example, your posting is identical to similar to these:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage You question is like: you skipped the triage and run in to see a doctor. And the question asked is: How am I? You have skipped: the nurse section where often, the nurse would find out more and do some tests like taking the temperature and/or check blood sugar levels and/or get some blood samples for testing. One can't just skip all these and ask: How I am? My advice is; since you have approached someone and he/she has told you to come to Singapore. Best to go back to that person. Good Luck! & all the best in your job search.

Avoid buying this type of water feature / fountain Under symbolism in Feng Shui; this water feature may even look like a "monster" or a profile of it. As such, try to stay clear of such a design for your water feature/ water position. Especially if it faces towards the home

The Topiary @ Sengkang Just T.O.P. The theme or colour of this develop is green. Thus, the windows / sliding doors are all in green tone. What is also highly unusual is that during the day time; the entire pool (pool system) is also green. However, at night, the pool is lighted up and looked blue. During the day time; it looks very unappealing to swim in this "greenish" water. One reason is that most of us identify greenish water as perhaps, dirty water or full of greenish algae....

Frankly, it is best to clarify with the site or person who has provided you with the information. In general, a ba zi does have some indications of whether a person can migrate or not. In the sample illustration... I have produced Page 1 of 9. And in the 2nd attachment Page 9 under item I. Possible Migration / Change of location luck in such a ba zi report.

These are some considerations:- 1. Main Door facing Door of Bomb Shelter in condo 1.1. The main consideration under symbolism in Feng Shui is that the Main door should not be facing a staircase that leads down to the lower unit. 1.2. For example, when say the bomb shelter door is (always) open and from one's main door one can see the staircase; then this is not ideal. 1.3. But, based on building regulations; the good news is that all these doors must remain shut at all times. If so, and also even if the door is opened fully; it opens to only the landing (of the staircase) then this is a non-issue. 1.4. If so, it is equivalent to one's main door facing another unit's main door. In some new condos e.g. The Palette, they even have a folding screen to hide the bomb shelter. 1.5. Another similar situation is that some find it inauspicious to have the main door face the lift door. Again, this has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui. As if one often opens the main door; it is in full view of the lift entrance etc... 2. Lucky or Unlucky Numbers 2.1. Frankly, under Numerology; there are at least 1,000 methods or formulas. 2.2. Thus, if one use a specific formula; it can result in certain numbers being lucky to a person. 2.3. However, another set of formula; may deem such numbers inauspicious. 2.4. Thus, this is akin to "one man's meat is another man's poison". 2.5. For example, SIA has a long tradition of never naming a seat #13. Thus, one can never find a seat numbered A13 or B13 or C13 on SIA ever. 2.6. Traditionally, such a number may not appeal to some westerners. And only some are superstitious about the number #13. 2.7. To me and perhaps to you also; you may not find any issue with such a number. 2.8. Again, just a few months ago; a Filipino client bought a unit #04-04 in an existing condo in Rivervale Sengkang. The owner of that unit had problem trying to sell it for the past year. And only after the Filipino client bought it; the agent then revealed to them that this was an "unlucky" number to some Chinese. My Filipino client says, they don't have an issue with it. 2.9. Here, based on common sense; even if the new owner is not adverse to say #04-04; in the foreseeable future; if they do decide to sell or exit this unit; they may like the previous owner face some problems trying to sell the unit. Again, do take note that this has nothing to do with Feng Shui at all. 2.10 Thus, if I am personally aware of it; I would not want to commit buying such a unit as it may in the near future affect my home's value and marketability. This is thus the main consideration; rather than whether the number to me is good or inauspicious.

In this sample by ranking of an estate; one systematic approach is to apply common sense such as:- In this sample there are Legends like:- X = Inauspicious especially low floors to be next to a precint pavilion where often funerals are held. (only applies to HDB does not apply to condo units) RB = Low floors may get the smell of rubbish truck collection... etc... The other is if you can try to apply Flying Stars or plot and use it to understand the interior layout. Here the concern is where certain bad flying star numbers may land e.g. #5 hopefully does not land in say the master bedroom etc... The alternative is you may want to consider getting a geomancer to appraise either that unit one is interested in or if it is a newly launched condo unit; then a "by ranking" similar to the attached may be considered.

1. In any development potentially, there are the good and not so good stacks/units:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32652&new=%3Cbr 2. Many have successfully bought homes based on personal feelings. For example, the most common approach is to bring one's family members before signing on the dotted line. 3. If Feng Shui is to be considered or applied then in general; there are several concepts: 3.1. The most fundamental is that often one cannot find that "perfect home." Thus Para 3 (below) applies. 3.2 If one knows Flying Star Feng Shui; (see Para 11) then this is a useful tool to look closely into the internal organs of a home. 4. Various considerations under DIY Feng Shui:- 1. Feng Shui Triage Proper trouble-shooting is required. 2. Fix-the-Leak, First! Easily three or more major problems. 3. The Concept of Maximizing Marks Hopefully from a FAIL to a PASS or better! 4. The Customer Engineer Concept If you D.I.Y. make sure you read this! 5. Commonsense Approach Fact or Fiction? 6. Fast Food Feng Shui 7. Getting Three Quotes 8. Situational Approach 9. The Concept of Feng Shui by Exception 10. The Three-Step-Approach 11. Trial & Error Vs Flying Star 12. You Stay There! We (Geomancers) Don't! 13. Your Home: An unpolished gem or a rotten apple?

Hougang Aljunied Town Council "HQ" beliefs strongly in Feng Shui? One major goal of a water position is that nothing else can be built above it. The result? Unintentionally creating a "Bright-Hall" or Ming Tang effect. This is why 8 out of 10 times; having a water position is never a bad thing after all.

These are some considerations: 1. Chinese Horoscope or often called Chinese Animal signs or Chinese Zodiac signs uses basically one's Year of birth. 1.1. Reference: http://www.lovesigns.net 1.2. In fact, especially around the 1970's to early 1980's the books that introduces one to the Chinese metaphysics is based on para 1. 2. Thus, traditionally one should still associate oneself with one's YEAR of birth. Thus if one was born in the year of the Monkey, one is considered a monkey. 3. Don't be confused. Ba Zi has three compulsory inputs : DD MM YYYY. And a third nice to have HH. And all these inputs: Day / Month / Year and Time of birth is a separate "system" to determine one's element and strength e.g. weak water or strong water person etc...

Kingsford Hillview Peak Condo and Flying Star Feng Shui As this development only has N2/N3 and S2/S3 facing units; N2/N3 and S2/S3 share identical Flying Star numbers and vice-versa. From now to 2023, based on Flying Star Feng Shui:- 1. S2/S3 stacks/units are considered to have better Feng Shui as the double auspicious #8's are at it's frontage i.e. living room and most bedroom areas. 2. When booking such a flat; try to avoid a S2/S3 facing stack/unit with the kitchen at NW. The kitchen at NE is okay. 3. For N2/N3 facing, it is considered such a waste that the double auspicious #8 stars are at its rear which is usually the kitchen / yard / ulitity sectors.

Kingsford Hillview Peak Condo 1. I remembered several years back when I went for a lunch break at the small market place close to the main road of this once quaint HDB estate that was torn down. 2. Today, this Kingsford Hillview Peak Condo is to be built on this plot of land that shares its border with the Hillview Camp = Mindef. 3. All three (3) blocks/stacks in Kingsford Hillview Peak Condo under Flying Star Feng Shui either faces : Blocks/stacks 103 and 105?faces either N2 or S2. While the third block 101 faces flying stars?N3 or S3. ?

HDB Tampines GREENridges & Precinct Pavilions When choosing a stack/unit; some of us often over-look where the precinct pavilions are. Don't get me wrong, one advantage of living at high floors above such a structure may often mean that the views are unblocked. But if one's stack/unit is at low storeys e.g. 2 to 5 storeys high and depending on the distance the precinct pavilons are; one could literally looked into the "activities" if any within these pavilions which on occassions hold a wake (funeral) or two... And worse still if they are held during one's auspicious festive occasions such as the 15 days of Chinese New Year. It is good to note therefore to try to avoid low floor units in stacks like: 360, 362, 892, 894, 408, 410, 392 & 394. And if possible also try to avoid low floors in 348 or even 350. Fortunately, for such a large cluster of homes in this development and with three precinct pavilions; there are relatively small amount of stacks/units facing such pavilions.

The Three Legged toad is considered a modern invention. Thus during especially our grand parents time; there were none at all. Actually, what you had said is the CLUE to what the Three-legged toad is all about. As mentioned above, the three-legged toad is a modern invention meant to "empty" ones pocket. These products are produced cheaply but sold in the name of "Feng Shui". That is why, you get so many conflicting advice on it! If I were you, I would treat such THINGS as a dust collector or if one still feels the pain of the purchase; just treat it as a mere decorative item. Just like any other DECORATIVE items one buys to beautify or in this case make the house so yucky looking. And if I were to have such an item; I would just throw it away... in the name of "rubbish" stuff..... "When the BUYING stops!; the SELLING can!"
