At Mount Alvernia Hospital, the holding area or collection point for the deceased is located at the area marked with a red circle. Here, the deceased patient is placed in a special bed and wheeled to the holding area for identification before being sent to the designated casket company. This process is not generally known to residents of Thomson 800, especially those living in block 804.

This photo shows SGH, highlighting an example of the most inauspicious place at a hospital to avoid: the mortuary. Every hospital has a mortuary, though some are less noticeable than others. P.S. At SGH, aside from the nearby Clubhouse, there are no other living quarters close to Block 9, where the mortuary is located.

Avoid purchasing a waterfeature with ambiguous shapes. As sometimes it may to somehabe a “ghostly or monstrous” outline

Avoid purchasing a fountain with an open mouth. This is because when water flow stops; it may symbolise a hungry animal or reptile.

Part 6B - The former roads have vegetable names associated with it If you have the time, find out what was the significance of the road: Jalan Petai which is close-by to HDB Ubi Grove.. Poignantly Grove seems a perfect name for this estate given that there are maize, peanuts or kachang and petai .. HDB’s interpretation of this piece or plot of land: Ubi Grove is bounded by Ubi Avenue 1, Ubi Avenue 2, and Ubi Road 3. It is located next to Ubi MRT station and comprises 12 residential blocks ranging from 10 to 15 storeys. You can choose from 1,193 units of 2-room Flexi, 3-, and 4-room flats. The name ‘Ubi Grove’ refers to the small grove-like clusters of green landscape that are scattered throughout the development. It also draws reference to the history of the area that was once used for tapioca cultivation, where ‘Ubi’ means ‘tapioca’ in Malay. Indeed, what a colourful past given it’s rich history.

Do you know that from 1965 to 1975, there was indeed a road named Jalan Petai. This road was demolished in the 1980’s:-

Part 6A - Case Study: History of the plot of land where this new development now occupies From 1966 to 1975, HDB Ubi Grove would have been situated on Jalan Mempelam, Jalan Delima, Jalan Jagong .. Jagong simply means maize... Jalan Bawang means onions, Jalan Halia = Malay for ginger, Jalan Lada = pepper... Jalan Berangan means Chestnuts... Jalan Lobak = radish.. Jalan Kubis = cabbage.. Jalan Delima = pomegranate.. Interestingly, there is also another road called Jalan Tauge which literally means Beans Sprouts... these colourful road are no more. Thus in the future, if you are a resident here, do spread the word about the past names of your estate. and be proud to live in an estate that has a very colourful past. All the above roads mainly with Malay names have totally disappeared. Jalan Kachang means Peanuts Road.. Your proposed new home at HDB Ubi Grove is within the outer perimeter of what was known as Geylang Serai Village. The previous road names implies that this was predominantly a Malay settlement in the past. In 1985, the government cleared this piece of land for mixed development of HDB housing /schools and industrial. By 1995, HDB flats were developed and SME industrial workshops were also completed. The roads now spot dull names such as Ubi Avenue 2 running East to West; and Ubi Avenue 3 running from North to South... In 2007, the school Maha Bodhi and more landmarks arrived:- Overall, this piece of land gets a “clean bill of health” as it was never a cemetery.

Part 5 - Case Study: Multi purpose court and noise pollution Best to avoid low floors at stacks 210, 212, 214:- This may just happen:-

Part 4 - Case Study: Look out for units close-to Central Rubbish Bins Units diagonal to the central rubbish bins = 54, 56, 86, 118 & 120. For example, standing outside the main door; one can see into the central rubbish bin. Units near to central rubbish bins = 152, 154, 156 & 158 The worse case is that of stacks 16 and 30 where the central rubbish bins are sharing it's small wall.

Part 4 - Case Study of HDB Ubi Grove with a site reserved for place of worship: Temple/Church/Mosque? Given that there are so many 4 Bedroom stacks to choose from in this development. It would be better to avoid selecting stacks highlighed in PINK: stacks 12, 14, 16, 28, 30, 32, 34, 82, 84, 86, 88, 90 & 92. As there is a stigma attachment to having a home that has a view of a temple. There is no indication yet as to whether it will be a mosque, church or temple. Case Study: Is there an issue if my unit directly faces the cross on a church's roof? Depending on where the church places a cross. Some churches place it on the tip of their buidling or on the face of their building.

Part 3 - There are two Precinct Pavilions in this development It is good that the planners place the two precinct pavilions to the side of the development. Only one stack Block 357D #124 directly faces a pavilion. While it's sister stack #126 is to the side. For these two stacks best to select a unit at least 6 storeys high to avoid looking into the pavilion and the unexpected noise .. in the event of prayers at a wake/funeral. For Block 356A with stacks #10 #12, try to purchase a higher floor unit. To avoid the din or noise in the event of a wake/funeral at the precinct pavilion Block 355.

Flying Stars of Capital Tower

Capital Tower at Robinson Road was originally planned and built by POSBank in the early 2000’s to be it’s new HQ. The bank was suppose to move into this new “Rocketship design” around 2003 from it’s existing HQ at Bras Basah Road. But when DBS took over the bank.. this was history. Today, CapitaLand and anchor tenants GIC, JP Morgan occupies the floors.
