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....

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.

Under Flying Star Feng Shui; each sector e.g. NE is divided into Three (3) compass ranges:- NE1 (22.5-37.4) , NE2 (37.5-52.4) , NE3 (52.5-67.4) Refer to the attachment for the rest of other sectors:-

In Malaysia, devotes even allow these deities to possess their bodies. And many of these willing devout devotees actually after possession; literally try to mutilate their bodies / tongue etc.. A temple Master would often keep an eye on those possessed for fear of not the devotees; but that these devotees may even unwittingly harm near-by on-lookers. Quite scary...

Where is the location of my level's central rubbish bin? A consultation is that there are not two bins: an additional bin for recycling..

Case Study 1A: Not ideal if a common bin is beside the main door of an EC/condo or facing it's main door. 1. What is the tell tale sign that the unit does not have an internal rubbish bin? 1.1. Try to locate something similar to this in the service yard or kitchen of the unit: 2. If the above is not present in the unit. Most likely, there is a central rubbish bin at the common lobby of this block. 3. Else, the tell tale sign is shown in yellow:- 3.1. Yes, this unit does have a rubbish bin within it's own unit. 3.2. Many ECs and condos today do not have an internal rubbish bin in their unit. 3.2. If so, do find out. As most ECs/condos do not show their exact location in their Sales Brochure. 4.1 Even if the rubbish bin has a door, it is still not ideal under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Location of photos (above): Ecopolitan EC 4.2 May affect re-sale value. This is true if in the future, a potential buyer may themselves and/or bring along a geomancer to view the unit:- 5. Inconsiderate Neighbours? 5.1 For example, Neighbours continues to leave rubbish outside the bin area. 5.2 one cannot just stand around the bin area to "confront a neighbour doing so". Which may result in bad relations. 5.3. In Bellewaters EC, the central rubbish bins are less obvious. 5.3.1. As the developer placed a small bin icon discretely on the TOP-right corner of the bin door. 5.3.2. Harder to notice if one is not actively looking out for the location of a bin. Nevertheless, in a resale; most geomancers may actively take this into consideration. 5.3.3. In this new development, my client asked for a proper block layout plan: 5.3.4. In the above block layout, are you able to see the common rubbish bin next to stack #13’s main door? 5.3.5. Some Condos/ECs Plan their central rubbish bins at a corner of the block. For example, in the Westwood Residences EC, this can be found next to the emergency staircase. 5.3.6. However, no matter how; The Central rubbish bin may still be close-to a unit:- 5.3.7. Shown Block 184, stack 11-11 5.3.7.1. d’nest condo by CDL chose to concentrate two central rubbish bins tuck at a niche solely meant just for rubbish bin disposal. 5.3.8. Thus even if it has a recycle bin plus a common bin; this design is similar to many HDB developments. 5.3.9. In fact, my first encounter was The Sail at Marina by CDL; which also has two bins tucked at a niche way back when it first T.O.P. 6. The Hillion at Bukit Panjang’s central rubbish bin is at the lift lobby and next to a lift:- 6.1. The developer Sim Lian went one step further and took a leaf out of HDB’s central rubbish bin centre and placed one identical to each and every HDB with a foot assisted bin opening. 6.2. In addition, there is a small recess area + a drain for the Cleaners to wash these bins. 6.3. Practical refinement:- 6.4. This illustration shows the rubbish bin can be seen at the main entrance of stack #14 of The Criterion: 6.5. Here, some consider this also less than ideal. As it can be considered equally bad to have a main entrance facing a rubbish chute. An overzealous geomancer may also advice their clients to avoid purchasing such a resale unit in the near future. 6.6. Is there a difference between The Central rubbish bins at a condo vs that of a modern HDB flat? 6.7. HDB is generous to provide a special lobby for their rubbish bins as shown below. Each rubbish bin lobby also has a water pipe for the Cleaners to occasionally wash the entire area. 6.8. Lower floor area to make sure that water does not flow or flood the surrounding walkway. Case Study 1B: I have inconsiderate neighbours who frequently spill "liquid waste" (unintentionally or intentionally = not sure?) along the corridor right to the front of the common bin. 1. What happens if one has inconsiderate neighbours that not only stains the flooring with "liquid" waste? 2. Hopefully, this should not be a common occurrence..spilled waste... 3. If one has inconsiderate neigbhours and the bin is next to one's main door. 3.1. Cannot possible stand there the whole day to see who is the culprit. Plus.. may result in bad-blood. 3.2. Similarly, what happens if a neighbour simply places their rubbish on the floor? 3.2.1. An obstruction as well as an eye-sore. 4. Often, such events may lead to bad-blood between neighbours. 5. In conclusion, if the common bin is at the lobby, do this:-

My first visit, today... lots more next few days and weeks... Pool tiles.... Colour... hmmm... Hard to see if there are algae growth in any with such coloured tiles . Cannot tell if there are algae growth on these tiles -:( Unfortunately, pay me also I won't want to swim in such a pool ... LOL More... Swamp....

Here are some considerations: 1. In Singapore, there are only a few thousand class A bungalows and class B semi-detached homes. 2. Traditionally, a class A bungalow in Singapore is at least 30,000 square feet, while a class C semi-detached home is usually around 6,000 square feet or more. 3. So, in Thailand, if your current semi-detached home is at least 6,000 square feet, this is quite reasonable. Why mention this? 3.1. Nowadays in Singapore, even semi-detached homes are sometimes less than 3,000 square feet. Developers often compensate by building homes up to four stories high, including a basement, upper floors, and an attic. 4. Having a large plot of land is a definite advantage, especially if your home is well away from the temple. 5. Many temples, both old and new, are built on land with good Feng Shui. However, some may be located on less favorable sites chosen mainly for profit. 6. Since I haven’t seen your property or its surroundings, I can’t give a full assessment. 7. However, I have the impression that your home is on a good Feng Shui plot. 8. Common sense: 8.1. If you can’t compare your current home to another, how can you tell if the next one would be better or worse? 8.2. For example, even if a temple is nearby, if your current home has good or excellent Feng Shui, isn’t it better to stay? 8.2.1. If the next home’s Feng Shui is as good or better than your current one, then moving makes sense. 8.2.2. But if the next home’s Feng Shui is worse or very unfavorable, then it’s wise to reconsider. 9. Usually, the effects of a new temple can be noticed within six months of its completion. You should monitor the situation during this time. 10. Without more details, it’s difficult to provide a complete assessment.

Frankly, without a photo; it is difficult to understand, better. This is because things like how far is the storm drain. Or that even there is a fish logo on e.g. the cover? of the drain? This fish logo if not visible from your home may not be an issue etc...

Seemingly innocent pointed roof-lines are potential poison arrow(s) if it is aimed towards a neighbour's opening

Raised house number @ main gate pillar symbolising a raise or constant progress. Under symbolism; some feel placing the house number "raised-up" is considered an auspicious sign. As it is a sign of progress. This is still popular today
