1.Frankly, in Singapore many temples have both space constraints and rare occasions where there is a request to take in tablet(s). 2. Thus, certainly, you will have a very hard time finding a temple to taken your grand parents in. 3. Actually it boils down to money or (a large) donation. Otherwise, it is near impossible, here. ========================================== Other matters relating to urns + tablet 1. Many of the very popular sites in Sin Ming are (were) already fully "booked" or full house thus often they are not prepared to assist you. 2. In fact, you can actually seek help from "agents" for the various niches in Singapore. 3. I have no relation to people like : Singapore Casket company; but you can try approaching them to help you seek a new home for your great grand parents. 4. Frankly, in Singapore, it boils down to the 4 letter word: SGD $,$$$.00. 5. In fact, depending on your grand parents religion; there are many different niches or sites that cater for all sorts of religion. 6. For govern operated sites: Mandai : should be able to get a niche. This is the government "controlled" and it is not possible to be turned down. 7. In Choa Chu Kang alone there are:- Choa Chu Kang Columbarium; there is also the newer Buddhist columbarium cum Nirvana Memorial. 8. For Christians, there is the Christian Columbarium called: "The Garden of Remembrance". The lease is "short" but again they are still less than 50 percent occupied. And again it boils down to $,$$$.00 9. Many of the sites have niches for ONE, TWO and or even THREE. Again it is about $$$$. For example, in the Garden of Rememberance; there were millionaires that take up as many as 6 and 9 niches by combining neighbouring niches... 10.The rationale for approaching a "middle-man" is either to select an urn (if one does not have one already) and/OR also to get a plague done in their remembrance. Thus, you can check the directories for people like Singapore Casket. They also can advice you to get in touch with certain priests or pastor depending on your religion (denomination). 11. Cremation is neutral thus.. no effect on the decents. Some even consider sprinkling the ashes into the sea...

These are some of the popular attractions within Chinatown...

The Sri Mariamman Hindu Temple located at 244 South Bridge Road. (S)058793. This temple is within the heart of Singapore Chinatown. It is Singapore's oldest and largest Hindu temple. The first temple was built as far back as 1827. And the current brick temple was built (re-built) around 1843. While Chinese temples are usually adorned with twin door guards; the Hindus, have a different set of door "guardians".. Take a look at (cheerful) them...

Under Malay culture; because they use their hands both for eating and doing "business"; This is what a typical fully customised "business" centre of the Malays are about... There is always a washing pipe.. close-by. In the "poo-poo" cubicle; there is always a water pipe and a small plastic container to contain water. Can you see the white plastic container beside the "throne seat?" And NO! The washing pipe on the right side of each urinal is not meant to wash a Male person's "JOYSTICK"... It is for him to wash his hands after he had aimed, shot and place his joystick to "safe mode"...

Wow! The first thread on this subject was 10 years ago.. a decade ago... time does fly....!

Further to what I had mentioned, I really dread living in any one of these three developments (during down wind):- The Belleforte Leong On Building Monville Mansion Please see link below, showing these three developments nearby to a petrol station:-http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_17151/travel_site_1/ Usually most affected is when your neighbours don't open any of their windows and you are around 1st to the 5th storey...often visible of the petrol station. Here, the main concern is not of a fire, at the station but rather the FUMES .... from underground tanks and daily consumer pumping of petrol or diesel

1. In the past, many who wanted to buy condominium units detest having their proposed condo next to Government Housing flats. Today, the main criteria is that even if the development is not to such flats; it is no longer an issue especially if one' development is next to say an MRT (mass rapid transit) line especially if the line is hidden underground. 2. As for shop houses; the major concern has more to do with sufficient car-parks and even noise pollution. As recently, I did a Feng Shui audit and the client's home is on the 2nd storey and close to the loading and unloading bay of a popular "Sheng Siong" neighbourhood market. From the various bedrooms; the client's family could hear the vehicles; noise pollution, smoke from the running vehicles etc... 3. I believe between shophouses and petrol station; I would certainly dread living close to the petrol station of between 30 to 50 metres. 4. This is because, there may be a higher chance of a petrol station catching fire. 4.1 Worse, in a humid country like Singapore, as most petrol and diesel are stored underground below the station, the concern is the fumes coming from these tanks.. and depending on the wind conditions; 4.2 I don't want to have a situation of having my family to smell the "cancerous" fuel smell either when some pumps fuel or when it evaporates.

Frankly, this is not the best way to both convey and seek advice on such matters.

Attention, please! Everyone! Please digest this new sign that was just placed by our beloved boss....

In this family company; the secretary of the company is in-fact the wife of the owner. Who better to understand the mood of the owner than her rite? Thus, each day, before the owner (boss) steps into his office; she will select one of the modes of his mood:- Button: 1 He is in excellent mood 2 Don't step on his toes.. else... he will be in a good mood 3 He is in foul mood, today! Stay Clear! Actung!

1. In all rooms (including bedrooms) if we do not turn on the fan or air-con to circulate air; then it is best not to place a bed-head between the corner of the bedroom. 2. Here, if there is not much air-circulation; this is the dead qi area.

Anonymous wrote: And is it true that pregnant owner cannot step into the flat at all (even for the ritual) until it has been fully renovated or she has given birth, whichever later? 1. Symbolically; the Chinese custom has more to do with the bedroom bed. Here, there concern is that if a pregnant lady gets to see the bed MOVED; it symbolises "mis-carriage". 2. Thus, usually, the Chinese is particular with the issue of the bed. Many often buy a new bed at the new (re-sale) home. While others make sure that the pregnant lady is not around when the bed has been moved and subsequently do not enter that "existing" bedroom anymore.

If true, does geomancynet provide such services? I'm going to engage geomancynet to do my house audit, wondering if it can happen on the same day, two birds with one stone... 3. It is a standard practise for our clients to be given auspicious dates for the first-time opening of the main entrance door. (This can be distinct) from the day one gets the key say at say the HDB office. 4. Most of the time; (countless number of times)I have assisted many clients with their first-time open door procedure. I usually help out the process and later, go in after the ceremony to take the compass reading during the first visit. The 2nd visit is usually the next week to discuss on the proposal(s) that I had worked on.My contact number can be found on the header of any of geomancy.net's webpage.

Csar Ritz (born 1850 to 1918) was a famous founder of several hotels. Notably, The Hotel Ritz in Paris. In short, there was a hygiene scare when the hotel opened. During those days the hotel has valvet wall paper and heavy drape curtains and shared toilets. WhenRitz tookcharge of the hotel; he made sure thateach hotel room hasit's own toilet. (At that time, most homes only have a shared toilet). He made sure that hygiene was a top priority and hemake sure that the walls ofeach room were white-washed and atthe same time; he got brass beds installed in each of the hotel room. His purpose for installing brass beds? To him, it is washable and more hygenic thanany other materials. More about the man... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/C%C3%A9sar_Ritz

The original link for this development can be found under ths URL: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=25415&new= These additional photos shows the abstract pattern of the facade of the development.

Please re-read my illustrations. I believe, they should be clear enough. Furthermore, the cure most likely in your case is "mentos" sweet will do.

Unlike most probably your "pseudo" poison arrow; if you look carefully, in the attached picture, it shows a classic poison arrow aimed towards the windows marked in "red circle". This picture was taken at the lift lobby of the recent completed3 @ Sandilands small condo :- http://www.streetdirectory.com/asia_travel/travel/travel_id_1/travel_site_91434/ Fortunately this side of the triangle roof of the landed property was aimed at 3 @ Sandilands lift lobby (no big deal). However, at the other end as circled in RED, it is aimed at one of the windows of a unit at Breezy Mansion.

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Please refer to attachment: poison arrow1.jpg and poison arrow2.jpg. At least if a home or apartment is "attacked" by a poison arrow from another building's triangle roof; one should normally see a real triangle. Much like the two attached photos. 2. Frankly, your photo is still not the best photo as the shot seems to be taken at an angle much like under this illustration: Not Poison1.gif 3. Thus if one does not see a "full triangle" = poison arrow; likelyhood it is not a poison arrow as it does not aim DIRECTLY into your window. 4. Thus, yours is more likely known as a "pseudo" poison arrow... than anything else. The best cure for this situation? "Perhaps, one might like or consider swallowing a sugar coated (sweet) as some sort of a cure aka pill e.g. Perfetti - Van Melle Candymentos.

Is this a bowl or a voluptious lips of a woman?

1. Generally, real estate is regulated and can be considered more as a "profession" i.e. although is own "boss" but not really abusiness person or entrepreneur. 2. In addition, the difference between a businessman and a real estate agent is that an agent needs to pass some test to get a licence of sorts to practise. While we don't see a businessman getting a licence to become one. (Unless one is in North Korea and even so, may be executed for being a captalistic pig then anything else 3. As real estate belongs to the earth element; goes better with weak earth person, weak metal person or strong fire person. 4. Good Luck!

Not if you are living on one of the highest point in the area! How about a bolt of lightning attracted to the brass bed? However, meet this professor! He believes his variant bed is the best in the world:- 1. His bed has brass legs which is termite proof! And in addition, he grounds one of the legs to the "earth" socket of his wall plug. 2. His bed has anti-dust mite protection! 3. By the way; he does not sleep on this bed. This bed is for his patients. And yes! You guessed correctly! He is a well-known SHRINK!

These are some of the considerations:- 1. There are two sides to assessing the Feng Shui of a home:- 1.1. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 1.1.1 Here, location, location and location plays a very important consideration. 1.1.2 It is often said that there are more millionaires staying on the ground level or floor. Firstly, some even have control over the way, their home is constructed etc... 1.1.3 Sunlight. 1.1.3.1 Some people are shocked to learn that simple things like sunlight or no sunlight or filtered sunlight or direct sunlight has a bearing on Feng Shui. 2. This is why in some newspaper advertising; without considering how well the home suits a person say based on the Eight House concept; the home is advertised as a North-South facing... which guarantees only filtered sunlight and no directly sunlight to the home. 2.1. Under this area; even if a home or apartment faces "west"; some are "lucky to be blocked or shield somewhat by another apartment some are not so lucky. 2.2. The worst senario is that if the surface area is unblocked and facing the afternoon sun; often, the heat can ooze out from the wall for several hours in the evening ... furthermore, some bedrooms are facing the afternoon sun e.g. children need to study.. In such situation; how often can everyone affected turn on air-con daily? While a fan does not help as it simply shifts the heat around in say the bedroom. 3. The other "half" of Feng Shui uses the compass to take a reading. The Compass School of Feng Shui has two concepts:- 3.1. The Eight House concept = mainly how suitable the house is to the person 3.2. The Flying Star Feng Shui = determing the facing direction of a home and plotting a "birth chart of the home". 4. Your question, from the compass school Feng Shui point of view is considered vague and a big huge question mark. 4.1. Here, the Flying Star needs inputs like: when your house was born or built ... and other variables such asthe EXACT compass degree : not just west but the compass degree is say 271 degrees. 4.2 Under this concept, it is no use saying it is a "west" house. But rather my home's facing direction is: 271 degrees. 5. If you intend to D.I.Y. (Do it Yourself); frankly, no one can help you but yourself. 6. This "part 2" of Feng Shui: the compass school, you need to help yourself into the intepretation and analysis of all of it. Many do the next best thing; get paid help from any competent Geomancer.

Further to what I had mentioned; these are some other considerations:- 1. Even if we do want to collect statistics on how many own brass beds and then split up; the statistics can be misleading:- 1.1. For example, a young couple; having to secure loan on their home; car and have max their credit card.. Yet, still use credit money to buy the brass bed. Some brass beds are not cheap as compared to wooden bed. 1.2. It is a well known fact that "couples" in $$$$$ debt; have a high chance of split up! 1.3. Compare the same queen sized bed at Ikea with a similar brass bed and the price difference is quite huge. 1.4. Some Geomancers; blame of all things: crystal's screwed onto the brass bed as being incompatible to having "water" in the bedroom. 1.5. For the Chinese; it is a well known fact that many Chinese don't like some of the or in-fact most of the traditional brass bed-head design as it looks liek the profile of a Chinese casket. 2. Thus, brass bed is relatively new "invention". China has a 5,000 year history and for most part of it; even when one goes to visit the forbidden city; the emperor's bed is made of carved wooden bed and not brass bed. 3. If I stay in a high spot and prone to lightning strike; I won't want to sleep on a brass bed for heaven's sake! Don't want to be first in the world to get strike by lighting on a bed... 4. There are many more examples.. on the brass bed vs wooden bed... 5. One thing is for sure; Singaporeans especially youngsters or those who started owning their first home and doing Feng Shui; I have yet to come across any of these 1,000's of clients having a brass bed. 6. As I mentioned; newly married have a responsiblity in managing their finances. 7. However, it is not the same for middle aged clients. Under this category; I do encounter like: roughly1 out of 80 having a brass or gold plated bed. 8. Here again; commonsense prevail that thesegroup under Para 7;in Singapore, have sufficient cash reserves and more importantly; their children had grown up. and thusthere is no more young children to jump up and down their bed... 9. For safety consideration, if given no choice; better to get hit on the head by a wooden structure than by brass... 10. Lastly, given an elderly person like myself; I would weigh the consideration: If I am living near a water position such as a canal; there is a higher chance of termite infestation... 10.1 Either, I would invest in a solid good quality bed.. that has been treated against termite or here, no choice - a fail safe "brass type" of bed. Have you heard of termites attacking "brass beds?" 10.2 In such a situation (termite attack) I would not even consider Ikea furniture... just imagine having a good night rest and suddenly, the whole bed drops down on the floor... Worse still those beds where you climb up to sleep and below you is the work area... 11. There are lots more... I can think about.. this issue of "brass bed".. but... there are better things or quality time to be spent on other areas. 12. Just use your imagination and I believe... one can up with lots more...

These are some of the considerations:- 1. Long long time ago; beds are commonly made of wood. Even with the wealthy; wood beds are the most common if not the "only" material used. Given that other materials e.g. metal is either rare or not in-use many centuries ago. 2. Conductivity: 2.1. The idea, here is that wood is a poor conductor of both heat and cold. This is why; the preference is to use parquet flooring in many "luxury" homes. 2.2. In Singapore; 99.9 percent of all condo bedrooms use some kind of wood: be it parquet flooring or layered wood surface. Why? 2.3. The simple idea is that in the morning; when "barefeet" when we wake up and step onto the floor; it should not be "stone-cold". Everyone in the west or cold countries do understand this. That is why, some use carpeting and or even heating built into the floor. 2.4. Some practitioners "put-two-and-two" together and have the idea that a brass bed is no good; because; it cools down relationship: as metal is a good conductivity of cold or heat. 3. Frankly, this idea is relatively new concept since brass bed is only more common from the 1950's onwards.. Else, if it is in the 1940's for heaven's sake; metal was melted to create war machines or bullets to kill the other guy. 4. In war times; citizens of Britain also hand over metal objects to be melted down. And here; whoever sleeps on a brass bed is either thick skinned or truly too anti-war person. 5. In my opinion; if one analyse carefully, only the main structure of the brass bed is metallic; many of the support "spring" uses pieces of wood to support the matress. 6. Look at it this way; it is not like one is sleeping "on a bed of nails" or something like that. Other than the legs and the bed-head brass outline; other parts are mostly hidden from view. 7. I personally feel that toying around with 50-50 whether it is good to use or not to use the brass bed is only a very small issue. There are better things to do! 8. The other argument to counter the senario by some that the brass bed is "cold" so it will cool down the partners sleeping on the bed. Here, one plus point is that at least one has metal in the bedroom. And metal element is suitable to neutralise many bad stars e.g. #5, #2 etc... 9. Frankly, there is no right or wrong answer, here. Perhaps, if one is too free; then may conduct a survey with divorcess e.g. One question asked is: During your previous marriage; what type of bed are you sleeping on? Multiple choice: 1. Brass bed 2. Wood bed 3. sleep on the floor 4. sleep with someone else... forgot what bed it was...
