In my opinion, plot 14 may be more "vulnerable" to risks such as sha qi from the cul-de-sac etc...

In general, in my opinion, plot 19 is a safer plot than plot 14. As plot 14 is at the side of the cul-de sac and must avoid having areas of the home that may be sliced partially by the cul-de sac. Furthermore, for plot 14, if there is an open drainage on the side of the house, it may not be good.

Sorry, to hear about it. Hope she took your advice-

An electric tramp in the 1920's, Singapore. Just imagine, how I wish, I was on the above tram, in a slow pace life... back then...

Singapore in the 1920's was quite advanced with a network of electric trams. The founder of Singapore: Sir Stamford Raffles - his statute was originally at this location then in 1920's. In the 1950's, his statute was shifted at Raffles Place, just a short distance away where now between the UOB-Standard Chartered Building.

This is a common Chinese junk found in Singapore and Hong Kong waters in the 1920's.

For this apartment in this block; even in day-light conditions, the main door entrance is dim and dark. If so, for this apartment, this cannot be the frontage as no natural light falls within the entrance area.

This is the 2014's HDB variant version of the "Point-block". But with the additional of two "attached" stacks: #97 and #99.

The dreaded #5 yellow = misfortune/sickness sector

Always ask yourself, first. Has this to do with pure common sense? Rather than rubber-stamp it as pure Feng Shui? As this is a bungalow house and it's own compound. Some owners decide to plant a prickly plant at strategic locations like corner of the home to deter would-be thieves.

A proper Feng Shui triage is required to understand the problems and find solution(s) to it.

Sorry, my hands are tied, here...

"Hollow" areas.... Traditionalist Shapes and Forms Feng Shui don't really like this kind of "hollow" feeling.....

1. Please review the document enclosed. 2. The first line on the Feng Shui ruler refers to Yang measurements, denoted in blue on the provided document. This can help determine the height of a kitchen cabinet, usually ranging from 33 inches to 35 inches. 3. The second line on the Feng Shui ruler, highlighted in red on the attachment, relates to Yin measurements, used for the deceased or coffin dimensions. 4. However, for the auspicious measurements of an altar, it is recommended to take into account both Yang and Yin measurements, catering to both the living and the deceased.

Sometimes we have to be sensitive with such issues...clue: "who is older?"

Please see attachment chart: 1. The chart shows that Eight House concept can be applied to either Yang (living) or Yin (dead - burial - coffin direction) Feng Shui. 2. Within Yang Feng Shui: it can be split into two camps: 2.1. The go by the book practitioners. Who feels comfortable quoting traditional texts on what is the (conservative) position of : Heads not feet.Hey! If you lie down nearly flat on the bed (other than a head-pillow)... and if your face face towards the sky; how to consider "feet" -first? 2.2. There are those more creative practitioners who may visualise that if one sits up-right on a bed or close to this position: they consider "feet" first. "I seen this person sitting up seeing the TV. If so, must be feet first!" But oops! The other part "I failed to see is when he/she sleeps close to 8 hours lying close to flat on the bed..." 3. There are another group of practitioners who may have accidentally got hold of text on Yin Feng Shui. Either the book or text did not specify clearly that it is for the dead or the person reading it up did not pay attention to this factor. And applies Yin Feng Shui to Yang Feng Shui. If so, your guess is as good as mine: #@)!@(@(#!_!_@@#)!!! 4. As I mentioned in the earlier, thread; so long as one JUSTIFIES or sounds reasonable in their thought process or explanations; we could make our own judgement. There is thus no ONE correct answer, here. 1. The chart illustrates that the Eight House concept is applicable to both Yang (living) and Yin (deceased - burial - coffin orientation) Feng Shui. 2. In the realm of Yang Feng Shui, practitioners can be categorized into two distinct groups. The first group adheres strictly to traditional texts, confidently asserting the conservative stance of prioritizing heads over feet. They argue that if one lies nearly flat on a bed, with the face directed upwards, the concept of "feet first" becomes ambiguous. The second group consists of more innovative practitioners who interpret the position differently, believing that if an individual sits upright on a bed, the "feet first" perspective is valid. However, they often overlook the fact that the same individual may spend a significant amount of time sleeping in a near-horizontal position. 3. There exists another faction of practitioners who may have inadvertently encountered texts on Yin Feng Shui, either due to unclear specifications regarding its application to the deceased or a lack of attention to this detail. Consequently, they may mistakenly apply Yin Feng Shui principles to Yang Feng Shui, leading to unpredictable outcomes. 4. As previously mentioned, as long as practitioners provide justifiable reasoning or sound explanations for their interpretations, we are free to form our own judgments. Therefore, it is important to recognize that there is no singular correct answer in this context.

TThese are some considerations: 1. Under the Holy Trinity of Luck; there are three kinds of luck: 1.1. Heaven Luck or born with (Ba Zi)1.2. Earth Luck or Feng Shui of the home or office1.3. Human or Man Luck (also generally about feeling good or not that comfortable with the table/desk setting of your office). 2. While in this case, Para 1.1. may not apply directly; 2.1. We now look at either Earth Luck or Human/Man Luck. 2.2. Earth Luck or Feng Shui:- 2.2.1 It would be nice if your office location has good Feng Shui (from applying both Shapes and Forms and Flying Stars). Shapes and Forms is also about a location perhaps with some views or if a non-aircon office; perhaps a window or some nice cosy area. Perhaps, an office next to a garage may not be the most ideal if there are alternatives or having done your homework with Flying Stars. 3. Human or Man Luck:- 3.1 Although this is not directly related to Feng Shui; It has some elements of common sense. For example: often when we enter a room; we would have visualise how we (naturally) want to place our work desk and sitting position (with or without Feng Shui consideration.) Then if one comes along with Feng Shui and best directions; it must also make some sense. For example, in a busy office, one should avoid, say a manager's room where his table is facing away from his room door or rather, his back against the wall : Even if that is his "success" direction. 3.2 Thus, even if the person is facing their good direction, but may end up feeling very uncomfortable e.g. sitting with the back against the wall or for some facing an open window where say the afternoon sun shines directly - and unable to properly "contain" such glaring lights - is a no no. 4. Thus, the first consideration is: Shapes and Forms - and does it look "natural" or normal to place a table "that way" or not. Is the first priority. Facing a good direction is then considered "Nice-to" and not a "Must-do" type of thing.

1. Frankly, in my opinion, it depends on one's argument(s) - if any. 2. Traditionally, it is considered that when we sleep our head should face the auspicious direction. 3. Nowadays, especially some beds e.g. hospital type of bed (don't get me wrong, not that one has to go to the hospital). Here the "hospital" type of bed can tilt to a more "upright" position. Please see sample attached rough sketch. 4. Some geomancers would say that if for e.g. if you sit-upright and if your face is always facing the good direction; then you can argue that thus one should face a good direction (most of the time) if one works from the bed. 5. There is another consideration. Which I had brought up in some of the past forum messages. 5.1. Actually, in theory, Feng Shui has two aspects: YIN Feng Shui (for the dead) and YANG Feng Shui for the living. 5.2. In theory, and for Yang Feng Shui, if one is suppose to spent e.g. around 8 hours or more lying or hugging the bed in a close to parallel level; then head should face the auspicious direction (if possible). 5.3. In the past, I had mentioned in past forum messages on the application of the Eight House to the dead (Yin Feng Shui). Perhaps, some geomancers may have misread or confused with the application to what they thought was Yang Feng Shui but based on Yin Feng Shui principles. 6.2. Thus one may argue until the cows come home ... and slaughtered for their beef... and the argument will go on and on...

If one sits on the bed to work or see TV for quite a while and if a geomancer imagines that the same person also sleep not quite flat but like in attachment; who would "dare" to say that he (that geomancer) is wrong?

About the drainage. First thing to look at is from the common sense point of view:- 1. It is good to cover the round hole with a simple plastic drainage cover like those found in most home toilet or bath area. 2. It is good to cover the drain. As some have pets and don't want a cat or other animals falling into the drain. Or likewise, allow rats to come from that area. Frankly, in a Can or cannot buy decision making stuff. Feng Shui has few things to look at. And several tools need to be used. To determine a drainage good or not, you got to check the flow of the drainage and where it exits.

As for the photo of the drainage "slicing towards a window"... can't really see the whole picture with only this photo.
