Understand why a common rubbish chute even if it has a door may affect....

One of the major considerations when it comes to resale value is the location and opening of the common rubbish chute. Although the common rubbish chute is shown in the attachment. I have marked it as "X". But, not that clearly shown, though. Please note that these Teo photos, shown below are samples from recently T.O.P. developments. Where some owners found too late that the common bind are right at their door step.. Even with a door.. it may hurt re-sale values..

However, based on the Sales Brochure, see below; the North compass marking is instead 15 degrees or 5 degrees more than the above. The good thing is that even if the North stacks are facing 10degrees or 15 degrees, it is still within the tolerance of N3. Thus well within the tolerance of a Period 8: N3 or S3 facing stacks/units. When TOP, best to take a proper reading(s), still.

This development is poised for family units. As the majority are 3 bedroom variants and the rest are 4 and 5 bedroom type

Based on the site-plan, under Flying Star Feng Shui, majority of the stacks/units either face N3 or S3. Legal TOP is 2020. Thus still considered built within Period 8 Flying Star Feng Shui

The Salvation Army building features roof-lines that may pose a potential hazard. The red arrow area indicates that there is a roof-line that exceeds the height of the yellow area. It is advisable to avoid positioning a low unit facing the Salvation Army building.

Looks like T.O.P. soon

Which do you prefer? A PES that is fully sheltered or one that is partial? From a common sense point of view; it has to be the fully sheltered even if looked so caged like? This is because there are instances where "killer" litter maybe thrown down from upper floors. Plus the living room balcony is shielded from rainfall.

Seriously, the clue here is The Five Elements concept. As both the Flying Stars and Ba Zi uses this concept. Do a search in this forum for " Lowest common denominator". Unless one is versed in The Five Elements concept.. one will always be forever.. asking and asking how to interpret ... Again the clue is: #5 = big earth #2 = weak earth etc.. etc... One also has to use Ba zi or Four pillars .. eg.. is the person a weak water or strong water etc.. element.. If one is never ever going to understand and apply the above... no point keep on interpreting for that person.. Look at the chart below:- 1. Beside the word "FIVE ELEMENTS" = Lowest common denominator or L.C.M.:- 2. Flying stars e.g all numbers uses the Five Elements 3. Four Pillars or Ba Zi (Heaven Luck or born with) uses the Five Elements concept. All the above use "The Five Elements" concept: "Give a Man a Fish, and You Feed Him for a Day. Teach a Man To Fish, and You Feed Him for a Lifetime"

Frankly, I don't know what type of material the mirrors you posted are made of. Why is it important to consider both the size and material? This is because all traditional ba gua or pakua mirrors are light-weight either made of soft wood lining or plastic. If the ba gua mirror in your photo is made of metal e.g. brass and even with the size; common sense says that if it is not hung properly or even if it is perceived to be hung properly, should this mirror drop down... it can damage a child's head or even injure an adult. For this reason, if it does made of metal e.g. brass or copper ... and also subject to the elements... you may have bought those "tourist" type of ornamental ba gua mirrors. As I mentioned earlier, a search of the term e.g. Pakua or Ba gua in this forum will yield many pages of past resources on this topic. And none of the mirrors used are not as "lethal" if it were to fall off.... (assuming again that it looks like metallic). Furthermore, if this metallic - whatever item was to be hung above a window of an apartment unit : if it does drop drop of for whatever reason.. it can be a deadly litter.. Thus, it is unbelievable that anyone in their right mind would want to hang such "metallic" things. PS. Bought in China does not imply that it is for ... China was a communist country for the 60 plus years. And items bought there may not automatically mean that they are "useable". For one it can be unsafe; secondly.. when China was an atheist country.. only overseas Chinese practiced and use specific items.. that are SAFE. And In Hong Kong, Malaysia & Singapore..they use light wood bagua or plastic rimmed Ines...

Pneumatic waste system at The Venue In my opinion, this system may highly restrictive and in the Long run pretty costly.. This is because, there are so many restrictions in the use of it. Especially, the criteria is that of light weight waste.. anything even cardboards and waste that is heavy may seem to imply choking the system.. Singapore may not be ready for this .. especially in a residential complex

Frankly, contrary to popular western beliefs, mirrors are not everyday household items in most Chinese homes. You can do a search in this forum for ba gua or Pakua mirrors. Generally, mirrors are:- 1. Convex mirror is to deflect poison arrows such as a main door facing a poison arrow such as a sharp corner of another building etc.. For example a lamp post aimed towards the main door or a tree trunk slicing towards the main door. 2. Concave mirror is often used to "suck wealth". 3. Flat mirror is often part of a ba gua mirror that has 8 trigrams. 3.1. Para 1 and 2 can also be in the middle of a ba gua mirror with the 8 trigrams surrounding. If so, it is a dual purpose mirror. 3.2 For example the ba gua 8 trigrams with a convex mirror is duo-fold = to deflect sha qi and to ward off evil. 4. Frankly, there is no logic ... just because a person bought two or even three ba gua mirrors mean that they have to fully utilize all two mirrors / or three. Whether it is bought in China or Far East, does not matter if it is not necessary to be use. 5. If the drain is on the ground; and one hangs a ba gua mirror above the door; logically, one is above; the other is below. In my opinion; no common sense logic to use the mirror. 6. A solution is usually, to try to "cover" the drainage e.g. placing a pot of plant(s) etc..

A first.. rarely seen .. in most new developments.. selective private lots. The unit number is written to the right of the word "private" = 01-11
