It is a pity that hairy crabs are too small! While Sri Lanka crabs are large and more meat:-

Roof-lines of shelters / drop-off points can come in all shades and forms. For example at HDB Punggol Ripples; the edges of the roof-lines flow upwards. Thus Photos 1 and 2 shows the arrows pointing the same angle as the roof-lines. These red arrows shows potential poison arrows if these edges are aimed into a window or balcony opening.

Off-site Can or Cannot Buy: Eyeing a few homes:-

Yishun residents should easily recognise this... P.S. Clue are the two green banners

Under the Productive cycle of the Five elements: Fire element (red, pink or purple) supports Earth (yellow, cream or beige) These blocks of flat at Yishun has a harmonious blend of these Colours. No wonder, even with maroon red; it looks really nice.

Case Study 3: Interested a home (landed / HDB / EC / condo) facing South? Best to avoid stove at the NW sector of an apartment = understand this term "Fire at Heaven's Gate" 1. Take extra care when considering purchasing a home facing South. 2. This is because most likely for such a home, the kitchen could either be at NE or NW sector of a home. 3. This unit's stove and sink are exactly on the True NW cardinal point:- 3.1. Fire at Heaven's Gate: 3.2 NW refers to the male head breadwinner's sector. And also refers to luck from heaven. if a stove is located, here, it can affect the male head's career luck. And overall luck of the house. 3.3 Even if the stove and sink were to be switched, the stove would still be located at the True cardinal point of NW:- 4. What happens if the kitchen is at NW? 4.1. In many instances, even if the kitchen is at NW, hopefully we do not encounter a situation similar to the above. 4.2. Especially when the stove is at a true NW cardinal point. However, if the stove is not exactly at this cardinal point; we still need to look at each unit on a case-by-case basis. 5. Understand more why some are more affected by kitchen at NW than others? 5.1 Is it bad luck or a cure or what else?? 6. In addition, stove should not face a bedroom entrance:

1 bedroom units @ Stratum condo Where possible a stove should not face the entrance of a bedroom. Be it the master bedroom or any other bedroom(s).

Stratum condo and Flying Star Feng Shui Only Block 92, located at the intersection of Pasir Ris Drive 3 and Elias Road, has flying star facing directions of NW3 and SE3. The majority of the other Blocks, stacks, and units predominantly face N2, S2, or E2 directions.

Feng Shui friendly PODs These cocoon shaped pods are Feng Shui friendly as they pose no "threat" or poison arrow(s)

1. Numerous swimming pools in Singapore are adorned with blueish mosaic tiles. 1.1 Regardless of whether the shades are light or dark blue, this remains the predominant color when observing a swimming pool, whether it is public or private. 2. I was taken aback the first time I saw greenish pools at The Topiary. Just last week, I encountered the same at its sister development, Ecopolitan EC. 3. The artistic rendering of Stratum Condo also depicts what appears to be a greenish pool. Nevertheless, as Stratum has recently achieved its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP), I will examine it more closely soon. 4. What is your concern regarding pools that are greenish in color? This is grounded in common sense: 4.1. According to the licensing agreement for swimming pools, the National Environment Agency (NEA) has established regulations that include regular water testing and mandatory weekly cleaning of the pool. 4.2. It is widely recognized that algae growth manifests as a greenish hue. In a blueish pool, any greenish substances adhering to the walls and floor are easily noticeable. 4.3. However, if the pool itself is greenish, it becomes quite challenging to identify any issues, even for someone swimming in it. Therefore, as a precautionary measure, pools should not exhibit a greenish color. 4.4. I acknowledge that at night, the pool at The Topiary appears blueish. However, based on previous experiences, pool maintenance is typically conducted during the day rather than at night, unless it is stipulated in a special agreement with the cleaning service provider. This accompanying illustration depicts a greenish pool...

Uncommon or rather unique for Ecopolitan.. My initial reaction was a baby crib and/or a old western movie when a horse is pulling a wagon with a canopy... similar to the above "crown" design Apended by Cecil Lee, today! P.S. Nowadays in 2022, can see this feature in several other condos / EC. Thus no longer considered a novelty! Will most certainly also affect Re-sale value

Case Study 2A: Beyond the buyers control as nowadays more and more ECs/condos build some or all dry/partition (DP) walls within the interior of the unit. Notice: Nowadays, this is just for information. As it has now become a new norm, today for most new ECs/condos. 1. A few years ago, with certainty most CDL projects have dry/partition walls (DP). 2. Nowadays, the majority of new ECs/condos and HDB flats most certainly have DPs. 3. How to identify from outside of the block? 3.1 Even without going into the development; one could more or less take the cue by standing a far and staring "between" walls. 3.2 For example: the red arrow most certainly points to the inner wall will most likely use dry-ways. 3.3. Where the yellow arrow; there is a question mark. As in some cases the outer casing may be solid or load-bearing; but subsequently part of it may be a dry wall. In one of the illustrations where there are green letterings : 1 and 2 : these are often a shared wall between say bedrooms 1 and 2. Thus for sure most likely a dry wall between them. Case Study 2B: Cons of living with dry wall partition 1. For re-sale homes; before signing on the dotted line; go around knocking on most walls in that potential unit that you and your family like. 2. In 2011 @ Livia Condo (the developer was CDL properties); not sure why, but out of curiosity I knocked on several walls: living room/bedroom 3 ; bedroom 2 shared with bedroom 2 ; master bedroom shared with bedroom 2. 2.1. I got a rude shock when I found these to be dry-walls. 2.2. A further shock awaited me; when I went into the master bedroom toilet. I also knocked on the external wall.. and also realised that these are some pre-fab walls or those seen in a few HDB flats in Sengkang where the toilet comes in modules or installed in modules. 2.2. In recent years: I also found HDB flats starting to use dry-partitions for certain walls. One development was Compassvale Mast @ Sengkang. 2.3. Just a few weeks ago; I realised that in Yishun: HDB Angsana Green also has some walls in dry-wall partitions. 3. Why might I ask.. are you so concerned with "solid" (concrete / precast concrete or red bricks / hollow brick walls VS dry-walls. 3.1. Let me put it this way.. especially for condos and ECs where one pays close to a "premium" for such flats; one would expect the traditional "Brick and mortar" type of house. 3.2. A few years ago, a client in-fact sold his unit at Livia and bought an older condo unit further up-stream as he; like me don't really fancy dry walls for a home. Oh, it is just me.. or my preference. 4. What are some of the disadvantages of using dry-walls vs pre-cast / solid walls? 4.1. During renovation stage: these walls must either be additionally re-enforced internally with more support (if not practical/more expensive) then wooden framework has to be added each time one wants to mount top-hung cabinets say in the bedroom etc.. 4.2. If the wall is shared wall. For example: on one side is the master bedroom TV wall; the other side is a family member's bed and/or bed-head. Unlike mounting a TV on a "solid" wall; even mounting the TV on a piece of wood and onto this dry-wall may if TV set placed at specific levels; majority of TV sets have a high EMF radiation at certain areas of the TV set. And this depends on both the brand and a specific model. 4.2.1. Don't want a family member's head to be next to such a device (if or should there be EMF radiation) behind one's bed-head. 5. Moisture: This may not be that common if the dry wall is shared between two bedrooms. But if the dry wall is not properly protected from moisture; and if it is sharing the same wall as a shared toilet. For example; do take a look at the attachment with the Amore EC to have an idea ... 6. Sound proofing. Most solid walls be it red-bricks / hollow bricks or pre-cast walls often have minimal noise transmission. 7. I know of homes built in the 1990's which uses dry-walls for the toilet ceilings / hiding concealed air-con piping and I can feel the difference between that era's dry-walls vs today's. 7.1. 1990 era's local dry walls are simply very solid and heavy. While today's dry walls are so much different. I have even seen homes of the Livia era e.g. 2011 and later where some of the dry walls were punched in or kicked in by someone. During my rounds under the Can or cannot buy. Where a client asked for a review of such homes before they sign the dotted line. 8. From the Sales brochure's layout; although it is easy to determine which are solid thick walls = thus brick / pre-cast concrete walls. 8.1 Often, I would take the cue from past projects that the same developer had worked on. Thus, since I know what are the standards of Livia condo; one could more or less guess where are the dry walls. 8.2 Except that perhaps; the difference is that nowadays; most walls surrounding toilets even projects by CDL are often solid walls not hollow... (dry-walls?). 8.3 Thus, even for yet to TOP developments like Coco Palms again also by CDL; more or less one would easily second guess which are the dry walls. 9. Attached is a floor plan from the soon to TOP Amore EC. P.S. OK, this for information only. As this resource was first posted in the year 2016. Where at that time, majority of the developments use solid (reinforced concrete walls). At that time also, HDB flats then use solid walls until the likes of HDB Compassvale Mast BTO.. onwards.

HDB Dew Spring Some buildings have unique exterior features. Strangely, what may catch one's eyes are the stylish benches.. There are several of these.. Are they as comfortable as they looks... Oops did not test them out....

Junction Nine @ Yishun recently T.O.P.

Sha Qi from a sharp corner of a block? It also depends on distance. For example, in this illustration: those Blocks / stacks circled in BLUE are considered as too far even if there are poison arrow(s) if any aimed towards Commonwealth Towers. However, if these blocks are large buildings like those of large skyscrapers like those we find in Shenton Way like UOB Plaza or The Twin towers Takashimaya in Orchard Road clad in marble... For these buildings; the poison arrow(s) throwing distance can be much more significant than ordinary condo stacks or even HDB stacks like that of stack 318 as mentioned, above.

Is Sha Qi located at a sharp corner of a block? The answer also varies based on distance. For instance, in this illustration: the blocks or stacks highlighted in BLUE are deemed too distant, even if there are poison arrows, if any, directed towards Commonwealth Towers.

These are several considerations: 1. Generally, I have identified some POTENTIAL threats (IF ANY). 2. I have not overlaid the Commonwealth Towers site plan onto this HDB site plan. 3. If one has the time, they may do so. 3.1. Additionally, one should be vigilant for potential threats, particularly marking in RED "B" which refers to the sharp corner of Blk 43A sack 318. This becomes a significant threat if it is directed towards an opening at Commonwealth Towers, such as a window, balcony, or similar openings. 3.2. The marking in purple "B" for the precinct pavilion may not pose a concern, as the apartments at Commonwealth Towers are not situated at a low elevation. 3.3. The marking in green "D" does not appear to be a threat, as it should not be directed towards any apartment openings (if they exist). 4. Another seemingly innocuous poison arrow(s) are those created by the "C" curve. Once more, if one cannot observe a horizontal roofline directed towards a unit at Commonwealth Towers, then this is also not a threat.

These are some considerations: 1. In general I have marked out some POTENTIAL threats (IF ANY). 2. I have not super-imposed the Commonwealth Towers site-plan onto this HDB site-plan. 3. If one has the time can do so. 3.1. And look out for potential threats especially marking in RED "B" ie the sharp corner of Blk 43A sack 318. It becomes a real threat if it is aimed towards an opening at Commonwealth Towers such as a window or a balcony or similar openings. 3.2. Marking in purple "B": that of the precinct pavilion may not be a concern since the apartments at Commonwealth Towers are not that low. 3.3. Marking in green "D" seems not a threat since it should not be aimed towards an apartment's opening (if any). 4. Another seemingly innocent poison arrow(s) are those formed by the "C" curve. Again, if one cannot see a horizontal roof-line aimed towards a unit at Commonwealth Towers; then this is again not a threat.
