Frankly this has nothing to do with Feng Shui. Feng Shui is scientific. Thus, there is nothing hardcoded. And if one were to ask 100 persons; most likely it is as good as flipping a coin... heads or tail; yes or no. For the Chinese; it is a taboo to move the “bed of conception” during the pregnancy. Or participate in anything remotely resembling the renovations or move-in.. for fear of touchwood accidents etc.. that’s all.

In Asia, green roof was common especially for places of worship. In the 1970’s some homes use green roof tiles. But the most common today is the traditional clay or orange coloured tiles. Well green is in my opinion still an okay colour.. under your description, above.

Frankly, there is usually more than your neighbour's main door. However, you are considered praticing trial and error ...... https://www.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Customer_Engineer_Concept Perhaps, since your friend has already placed the item(s).. whenever someone place something.. wait for a week or two before placing any other "cures" or enhancements. So that one can incrementally (if any) know if it may or may not be the right thing. For example, maybe somewhere in the home or in a bedroom, there could be some bad Feng Shui stars such as #5 = misfortune/sickness combined with #2 sickness as found in this sample illustration:- In the above illustration #5 with #2 signifies = sickness or illness. Stomach, hands and legs injuries. This is why I mentioned, "usually more to it than meets the eye"...

1. D = Forfar Heights block 48 and E = block 52 is quite a distance away. Thus although there may seem to be poison arrows; it is in my opinion a distance away. Thus not an issue. 2. F = Forfar Heights MSCP = block 53A is not an issue. 3. G = Church of the Good Shepherd does not have a church cross. And there is no church cross on the spine of the roof-top aimed towards this unit = okay. 4. C = The roof-lines of Blk 82 and 83 of Dawson.. are also not an issue. 5. A = this road is also no issue. 6. B = MRT track with noise reduction barrier is parallel to the unit. And no threat. Except expect some "noise pollution" from the noise generated by the trains wheels...

You wrote: "First question: is this a good land to build a house? " Looks like the entrance leading to the home is a cul-de-sac. Thus so long as the main door or the door or any openings, here do not face a straight path with the driveway towads the home is okay. For example, your proposed home should not look like this. Where the yellow zone is so exposed to the purple arrow. You wrote: "I will make the back door where my students enter larger and showier than the front door, which will look more plain. Is this a good idea??? " Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, one can take advanage of the creek view. And have the FRONTAGE of the house facing the creek (side) of the house. Especially if there are outstanding views, there. In such a situation; although the house-to-be will face SW; the actual facing direction or frontage as defined by Feng Shui could be NE direction.

The Moon Cake Festival with a Child's Style Mooncake On quiet Mid-Autumn evenings, when the full moon hangs low and round like a lantern in the sky, some of the most vivid memories are not of the mooncakes themselves, but of something far humbler: a small, golden-brown pig made entirely of mooncake skin, sitting snugly in a bright little “pig basket.” Its glossy back shines under the fluorescent lights of the old bakery. Around it, neat rows of proper mooncakes sit in stately boxes stamped with calligraphy and gold foil. They are gifts for adults—filled with lotus paste, red bean, salted egg yolks. The piglet, by contrast, is clearly a child’s treasure. It looks like a toy before it looks like food. Yet for many children, that pig-shaped biscuit is the true taste of the Mooncake Festival. --- A Pig in a Basket A mooncake-skin biscuit shaped like a whole little pig, placed in a distinctive “pig basket”. These colourful baskets look just like the old rattan baskets farmers once used to cage their pigs when transporting each one. During the Mooncake Festival, these colourful baskets each hold a pig-shaped biscuit made from mooncake skin. The biscuit tastes exactly like the baked outer skin of a traditional mooncake. Parents and grandparents often bought these child-friendly, bite-sized “pig-shaped biscuits” for their children or grandchildren.The only difference from actual mooncakes is that there is no red bean paste inside them—just pure mooncake skin—truly a treat many children eagerly waited for in earnest every year. Circled in red: the yellow, purple, pink, and red baskets... At first glance, the whole ensemble is playful, almost whimsical: a mooncake-skin biscuit shaped like a plump little pig, placed carefully in a miniature “pig basket.” These colourful baskets—often yellow, purple, pink, or red—look just like the old rattan cages farmers once used to transport live pigs one by one. The resemblance is deliberate, a tiny echo of a rural past. Inside the basket, the piglet biscuit lies curled, its body rounded, its snout slightly upturned, tiny ears pressed back as if listening. Its surface is the glossy tan of well‑baked mooncake crust. Break off a piece and it tastes exactly like the outer skin of a traditional mooncake: faintly sweet, with the fragrance of baked flour, sugar syrup, and a hint of oil. No salted yolk, no lotus paste, no red bean paste—just pure mooncake skin. And that is precisely its charm. For children who found traditional mooncakes too rich or cloying, these piglets were perfect: light, crisp at the edges, slightly chewy at the centre, and sized for small hands and small stomachs. Parents and grandparents would buy them not only as a snack, but as an unspoken promise: *You are part of this festival too.* --- A Child’s Mooncake The piglet biscuit is, in many ways, the “children’s mooncake.” It mirrors the adult version but strips away all complexity. Where the mooncake is dense and symbolic—round like the moon, heavy with layered meanings of reunion, prosperity, and continuity—the piglet is simple and immediate. It does not require an explanation; it is simply fun. Children rarely care about the poetry of ancient scholars admiring the moon or the dynastic legends whispered around the teapot. They care about texture, colour, and delight: the satisfying crack as their teeth break the piglet in half, the pleasure of carrying their own little basket by its handle, swinging it back and forth as they walk under the paper lanterns. That bright basket was part toy, part treasure chest. The moment a child received it, the festival became personal. While adults sliced mooncakes into careful wedges, debating which bakery’s recipe was superior this year, children hugged their piglet baskets close. The festival was no longer just about watching adults perform tradition; it was about having something of their own to look forward to, year after year. --- Memory Woven into Plastic The baskets themselves are small marvels of cultural memory. The modern ones are usually made of colourful plastic, but their design is rooted in older rural life. Once upon a time, farmers transported small pigs in rattan cages—sturdy, airy enclosures that allowed the animals to be carried to markets or new owners. That same shape has been transformed, miniaturized, and dyed in cheerful colours: violet, canary yellow, candy pink, bright red. In an era where many children grow up in high-rise apartments, far from farms and animal pens, this pig basket is a tiny bridge to an older world. It is an object that quietly carries history, even if no one explains it outright. A grandparent might smile and say, “In the old days, real pigs were carried like this,” and with that a line is drawn between a child in plastic sandals and a farmer decades ago trudging through muddy lanes. The pig in the basket becomes more than a snack: it becomes a story. Between Past and Present The Mooncake Festival—also known as the Mid-Autumn Festival—is often portrayed as a grand, elevated celebration. There are tales of Chang’e flying to the moon, of Houyi the archer shooting down nine suns, of secret messages hidden inside mooncakes to start rebellions. Lanterns glow, tea is poured, the moon is admired in its perfect roundness. But somewhere beneath those legends lies the everyday reality: festivals endure not just because of myths, but because of small, repeatable joys. The pig-shaped biscuit is one of these. It marks the festival on a very human scale. You do not need to understand mythology to enjoy it. You do not need to stay up late reading poems about the moon. You just need to reach into that basket and snap off the pig’s ear. For many, the memory of these piglets is tied to a specific kind of anticipation. In the weeks leading up to the festival, bakeries would start displaying them in their windows, often arranged in neat pyramids of colour. Children pressed their noses against the glass, eyes drawn not to the premium mooncakes in ornate tin boxes, but to the rows of tiny pigs smiling out from their baskets. That yearly wait—for *your* piglet, in *your* chosen basket colour—was part of the festival rhythm. The sight of those yellow, purple, pink, and red baskets signalled that the holiday was truly coming. --- The Taste of Childhood What lingers long after the festival is over is not just the flavour, but the feeling associated with it. Ask an adult who grew up with these piglet biscuits, and their description becomes oddly specific: the soft crackle of the plastic basket handle, the faint plastic smell mingling with the aroma of baked dough, the way the pig’s snout was often the first part to go. Some remember saving the basket long after the biscuit was gone, using it to store marbles, rubber bands, erasers, or tiny secrets. Others remember siblings fighting over who got which colour. The biscuit itself was modest, almost plain, yet it became infused with meaning because of all the hands that passed it on. A grandparent choosing it with a careful eye. A parent hurrying home from the market, clutching the basket so it wouldn’t be crushed on the bus. A child receiving it with the kind of joy that adults often forget they once possessed. The piglet biscuit is proof that not all traditions are solemn. Some are light-hearted, even playful—and it is precisely these small, gentle rituals that fasten themselves most firmly to the heart. --- More Than Just a Cute Snack Today, the world moves quickly. Mooncakes come in ice cream form, in low-sugar, vegan, or durian flavours, packaged in boxes that look like luxury handbags. The humble piglet, sitting quietly in its simple basket, can easily be overshadowed. In some places, it has already become a nostalgic curiosity—something older generations point out in photos: “We used to eat these when we were young.” Yet its quiet significance remains. It reminds us that festivals are not just about elaborate displays or expensive gifts, but about accessible joy: something a child can hold in their hand and finish in a single afternoon. It shows how culture can be transmitted not only through grand rituals, but through small edible tokens of affection. A pig-shaped biscuit in a colourful basket may seem trivial compared to the moon’s vast glow or centuries-old legends. But in the private night sky of memory, it can shine just as brightly. For those who once waited all year to receive that little pig, the Mooncake Festival will never be only about the moon in the sky—it will always also be about the pig in the basket, the crunch of mooncake skin between their teeth, and the warmth of a hand that placed it gently in theirs.

My first encounter of a condo that has a spring loaded refuse bin door. In addition, the door has fine mesh on it. A good idea. But apparently this specific door takes much effort to “prise open”. Thus can be a hassle for an elderly or a young teenager... Hopefully the tension can be adjusted or fine tuned.

In my opinion, based strictly on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- 1. Yes, there is indeed a stigma attached to a Power station (PS). Thus seem like everyone is or were told not to buy a home that somehow is associated with the "PS" in one form or other. 1.1. Thus, certainly if you are concerned, others would equally be concerned, later especially when you want to sell the unit. 1.2. From the illustration, there is no sharp corner of the PS aimed towards B. And it is relatively considered as a distance away. Not like it is beside home B. In fact, there are many flats in Singapore which have units that sits directly above such a power station etc... 1.3. Like the MRI machine in a hospital; which uses high magnetism; there are no known literature on ill effects of it. 1.4. In fact, it is a plus, since usually the substation is often just one level high. And as long as this development is not re-developed; there is no way that it can every be demolished or a building or home built-up. 2. A plus for B is that there is a wonderful playground. While the small service road leading into the estate is not an issue. More of a concern for home marked as C. In terms of it's Feng Shui. 3. You also to consider the Feng Shui direction of A and or B. And also the interior. Since the layout of A is a mirror of B. Sometimes, one may find that the layout of one is better than the other. 4. Other considerations like what is above level 1 main door, or kitchen stove. And on the 2nd storey.. what is above a bed e.g. stove? etc.. etct... 5. For the layperson: The three major considerations: Frontage, Kitchen and Bedroom has the highest priority of "fit". 5.1. The overall concept in Feng Shui is called: Yang Zhai San Yao:-

Some boutique condos comes with aluminium privacy Louvres. Which can either be opened or folded. Here at Watertown, majority of the balconies have this added touch. As there is sufficient ventilation + lighting and the option to open the panels; pretty good overall. Thus it has an effect or more to do with human Luck; first; Of course, some can install their own external blinds ... but these blinds allow especially less air-flow than these wider spaced aluminium louvres.. One of the first.. that has stacks facing the LRT tracks...

Thanks for the photos and layout plan. Since the storm drain is around the yellow zone of the potential new home. And that there is no major areas like the driveway or main door at the yellow zone; then in general (or very general) no issue. From a scientific Feng Shui point of view, the proper way to analyse such things is via looking at the plot and drawing something like below:- Please note that there are a total of 24 different permutations of the above. And the above may not be for your plot of land. Others...

1. I specially mentioned one (1) of the two S3 stacks not all S3 facing stacks:- 1.1. "So does the interior Feng Shui prior to purchase." Which means no two S3's may have the same Feng Shui. Overall S3's are GENERALLY have better luck than say an N3. But one still has to look at the "fine-print" or the interior of the layout plan of each specific S2/S3 facing units. There are many examples in this forum which highlights the concern of certain S2/S3 facing stacks. 1.2. In a can or cannot buy review, many prudent users would have tried to map the interior directions and ... 1.3. In fact, resources such as this also includes the concern: 1.4. Thus a holistic approach also means looking not just at the main door but the interior and it's fit to the main breadwinner.... 1.5. It is so easy to ask e.g. which of my favourite unit is better based just on the main door alone... "A little knowledge is a dangerous thing". You wrote: “Also, any impact if the main door face to rubbish chute?” 2. Have already replied this..... As this is a general advice forum, avoid going further and further into specific details of a project. Hope you understand. Thanks.

You wrote: "Rubbish Chute facing, is it a matter?" Yes, rubbish chute counts. So does the interior Feng Shui prior to purchase. For example, not forgetting that while you are concentrating on just the main door; one of your favourites most likely have a "fatal error" in the interior of the home: which affects the male breadwinner's career and poor luck. Given that you had mentioned that the main door is facing north. You wrote: "Also we will be seeking a professional to see our house interior feng shui.

The Concourse and subtle nuiances of Feng Shui in this building: This figure is titled a "Black Tortoise". In Feng Shui it is one of the four animals: green tortise, white tiger and Black Tortise". The Black tortise simply represents the "back" or rear support. Thus if one looks at this "black mascular person with such a stance and figurine" One would never have imagined that it is for the purpose of Feng Shui... This cartoon like resin rounded figure aptly named Buddha. It also represents a solid mass. Other than that perhaps the owners want to portray a safe and peaceful environment... La Lecture... give a guess... Under symbolism, a horse facing out simply implies that the residents or tenants of the building will frequently venture out to get more business as well as lots of travel.. Such buidlings will have huge columns and floor embedded with lots of re-inforced steel bar causing lots of compass disturbance, thus it is good to prepare a general protrator readings on a street-map.
