Good Feng Shui spreads through word of mouth

Can we use vertical bar window grilles? This has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui. For example, if one's grilles are casement windows; it does not matter that much if the window grille bars are horizontal or vertical. However, if the one has sliding windows; then it makes more sense if the window grille bars are horizontal. Why? Pure common sense. In order to open or close sliding windows, the most efficent grilles are those that are horizontal bars. This allows for swift motion to slide the windows unobstructed with horizontal grilles. But if vertical grilles were to be installed, one may have to frequently remove the hands and place it into one or more vertical openings to fully open or close the windows.

Nowadays, this is pretty common in Singapore.

After anaylzing the location with a Luopan. The Flying Stars is plotted. And later, the proposed layout(s) are analyzed to determine the best layout - especially the position of the cashier's collection - point. Other considerations include: specifications for the signage and other areas.

Another additional refinement is that the multi-storey carpark has an access link at the third storey (3rd level) link to a block. And that block has an additional link to the 2nd block. For example, at block 312C, there is a 3rd storey link. And blocks 312C and 312B are futher linked at level 3. See photo illustrations. This 3rd storey link serves an added function: no longer need to construct a roof for the ground level link between say blocks 312C and 312B. What is impressive is that the 3rd storey link of blocks 312C and 312B provides a ready shelfter for those walking at ground level from one block to the other. These two enhancements: the covered walkway + central bins may not be much but; for those staying within this development; it certainly adds to a nice-touch.

1. Previously, HDB Punggol Sapphire had some units, where the main door faces the central rubbish bin. 2. Symbolically, this is considered inauspicious - with the main door entrance in full view of the rubbish chute area. It is common sense. As some neighbours may just leave debris outside this bin if the debris is too large. 3. This year, some of the newly TOP HDB blocks has a further refinement. Please see attached illustration. 3.1. For example: the newly TOP HDB estate called: HDB Punggol Parcvista's Blocks 312B, 312C, 313C and 313B each has a total of eight stacks. 3.2. And from the attachment, one can see that the eight stacks are futher divided into a cluster of 4 stacks by 4 stacks. And there is a narrow linkway between these stacks. And right in the middle is the central rubbish bin. 4. This implies that when any of the stacks/units open their main door; none of these units will ever face the central rubbish bin. Do have a closer look at this refinement from the attached photo.

Symphony Suites @ Yishun is certainly a neat "production" line block layouts. Such sites reminds me of tightly packed "road grids". Very sterile and the purpose to pack as many blocks and stacks as possible in a "small space - site". This site reminds me of the "no brainer" soon to TOP site : " Treasure Trove " in Punggol. Other than a slight cure of Blocks 50, 52 and 54; the rest of the other 12 blocks (Imagine: this development has a total of 15 "point-blocks" sandwiched together. From a Shapes and Forms point of view; both Symphony suites and Treasure Trove fortunately has a favourable square/rectangular site. Perhaps, this is the only major consolation. And thus, overall, quite a "safe-site".

While Lake Life EC's block-stack curves in a Feng Shui friendly manner; Contrast this with The Caspian and many other of these layout. Please see attachment. Although The Caspian is considered as wraped in a Horseshoe shape; it is more like a U shape. Where Block 60A is 90 degrees to the other "side" blocks. Here, Block 60A stack #38 has a sharp corner aimed towards Block 58 stack #34. Block 50A also has sharp corners. Here, Block 50A's stack #02 has a sharp corner aimed towards the frontage of Block 60A stack #38

Lake Life EC reminds me of "The Tropica" condo at Bedok Reservoir. Previously The Tropica's blocks are also is in a horseshoe layout. The difference is that the blocks are purposely tilted to form "C" curves. Such siteplans are Feng Shui friendly as this avoids the dreaded "poison arrow(s)" of neighbouring block's angled corner aimed towards each other and vice versa. While Lake Life EC's blocks layout are in a row. And only two stacks are purposely tilted so that it does not result in sharp corners aimed towards it's neighbours. Contrast this to many other horse-shoe shaped block designs that literally form the blocks in a 90 degree angle causing poison arrow(s).

Wu Tai San Buddhist Temple @ West Coast Road has a nice roof-line motif...

If The Quartz's overhang is great; The Crest's nice "V" shaped design that mimic those of a bamboo tree is even more impressive. "For those who had experience strong windsand heavy rainfall would appreciate this - a "user friendly" roof overhang for each unit" "Furthermore Individual - point-blocks are relatively safe designs inthe realm of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. In addition, kinda like the "V-shaped profilewhere each balcony is sheltered from the rain"

Very rare to have sites that face the side of the Istana. This development is also within walking distance to Cuppage Road - Holiday Inn hotel and Centrepoint.

A client recently has two new borns - twins: a baby boy and a baby girl. Although they are born on the same day and nearly the same time; Male (boy) and Female (girl) has a different set of ba zi...

1. In my opinion, I find this site less and less appealing. 2. The only "plus" is that the waterway curves away from this plot. 2.1. Otherwise, this plot has a rectangular piece of area "taken away". And this piece of land is earmarked as a Health and Medical centre. 2.2"Usually, based on past precedence, blocks and especiallystacks facing a "Health & Medical" centre are harder tosell in a re-sale market. Especially low floors that face thesite and the roof-top. In addition, most buildings have air-concompressors on their roofs.... " 3. Personally, if given the choice, I would prefer to skip this "EC" and look for another one elsewhere.

1. The Terrace EC and a coffin? 2. Really? Did I hear correctly? You said a coffin? 2.1 Unfortunately, for this development, the "coffin" really looks so glaring from the sales brochure! I understand some other developments do have similar layout. 2.2. But... what is most important is that this "one" is so ... so obvious especially to me. What do you think? 3. I really cannot help but draw my attention to what looks like a "white coffin" box. Please see attachment. (Ignore the red cross - on the building.. it was my way of further illustrating that it looks like a .... coffin) 3.1 I dread to say this but here goes: "Just imagine a coffin at the feet of the central swimming pool.... hmmmm... let's pray real hard that this development would not become another Melville Park... where there were... unfortunate drownings.." 4. Based on symbolism in Feng Shui although block 88 sounds auspicious enough but contrary and because of the "coffin" ; stacks #17 and #20 don't seem auspicious enough. 5. Imagine, on high floors; everyday... staring at a "coffin" profile.... And not withstanding; thest two stacks also are the two most affected by the afternoon sun at their frontage....

1. One of the key concerns in Shapes and Forms Feng Shui are sharp corners of neighbouring blocks, aimed towards a specific unit's "opening": 1.1 Worse if the opening is the balcony area. As most home stayers would usually open the sliding doors or part of it when they are at home for natural air to flow in. 1.2 If the poison arrow is aimed towards a bedroom window(s) then less of a hassle. 2. Whenever, we find any developments that have blocks that don't align in a straight row; then it is best to try to consider "eliminate" - if possible stacks that may be suspected to have a poison arrow aimed towards it. 3. In this development: The Terrace EC, I have highlighted some poison arrows:- 3.1. In the attached illustration; if the poison arrow is drawn in red; it should be "safe" as the poison arrow of one block seems to be aimed exactly toward's a neighbouring block's corner - also. This is a good thing. As both blocks are considered as exactly "45" degrees to each other. 3.2. However, I have drawn in white suspected poison arrows that could be aimed towards another unit's opening (if any):- 3.3. Thus these are my findings:- 4. Suspected poison arrow(s):- 4.1 Blk 80 stack 03 aimed towards an opening of Blk 100 stack 42 4.2 Blk 84 stack 11 aimed towards Block 88 stack 17. (But looks OK as there should not be an opening at that location) 4.3 Blk 98 stack 39's poison arrow(s) vs Blk 96 stack 33 and vice versa.

Based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui: HDB Waterway Brooks site, is generally a "safe-site" .

HDB Sundew Blks 661B, 661C and 662D most affected by the water way curving towards it's plot. Since The Terrace EC is directly on the opposite side of the waterway bank; water course curves away from the plot - thus under Shapes and Forms, this is a safe plot. However, it is a pity that the plot is "eaten away" by the future proposed Health and Medical Centre...

Client installed this water position at their Cambodian factory's "water wealth" location - premises..

The Sian Teck Tng Temple @ Cuppage Road.. seems to be like frozen in time and surrounded by modern buildings. Fortunately, the Central Expressway CTE that was built way back in 1982+ was built "around" it and was not torn down for this expressway... Photos was taken during the T.O.P. of Waterscape at Cavenagh Condo across the highway The Sian Teck Tng temple was founded by Master Ma Choon Qing in 1883

Where possible, a triangle (fiber-glass base) of a water feature is also a No, No! Firstly, it is pointed at three sides and some of the points can be considered as a poison arrow. Secondly, triangle represents the fire element. For a water position; if we want to introduce "fire element" the next best thing is "a light".

The Fullerton Hotel, formerly the General Post Office and the office of Dr Goh Keng Swee, our former Finance Minister, features an inspirational bronze statue of the late Mr Ng Teng Fong at its lobby - Far East Organization and Sino Group. NG TENG FONG 黄延方 1928 - 2010 I will dwell in the house of the lord forever, Psalm 23:6 A firm believer in the virtues of frugality, hard work and progressiveness, Ng Teng Fon considered himself simply an "ordinary working man".

To God be the Glory.

Under Symbolism in Feng Shui; it is not ideal for kitchen appliances like e.g. a toaster oven or an oven or kitchen knifes directly face an open bedroom door. Here, based on symbolism; there is a "health" related concern. For example, if a toaster oven faces the bedroom door; then the concern of "having a fever etc"...

Next door to The Vision is Seahill. The expected completion date is by end of (next year) 2016
