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.

In many countries I visited and even in Singapore, there are lots of (pockets) of landed housing development with homes beside a slope. In fact, there homes that have even steeper gradient especially in Singapore's Holland Road area and many other areas like Opera estate; Toh Tuck in Clementi, Bukit Timah e.g Six Avenue and many more areas. Thus, there is no "one shoe" fits all inauspicious(ness). It depends on many factors including the facing direction of the home; period it was built in; drainage, front side and back of the home.

This 5 bedroom "point-block" flat was the 2nd generation "point-block" i.e. built in the early 1980's. Which is older than the earlier postings in this thread.

Riverparc Residence @ Punggol Just TOP during Chinese 7th month.... As usual, there is not much activity i.e. handing over keys as most Chinese stay clear of it.... Invited for a few reviews by residents.

There is a first time for everything. And there are all sorts of tables. This table unfortunately says that someone has perhaps taken a leg or too of it? Is this the reason why, they place a "warning" sign above it? So sorry, it would do injustice to the table if I posted a photo of the table. Instead, what I captured was the actual sign above it......... hmmm on first glance, the table don't look "handicap" to me Location: Marsiling Lane Food Centre

This type of "fire" using a red lamp with LED lights are much safer than the earlier....caricature.

Thanks for the photograph. Without which, may have a misunderstanding. As this type of bed is unique. Can common sense explain why it is inauspicious? Some beds are "slippery" and perhaps due to "physical activities" sometimes, both beds may split apart or leave a gap in-between. This is the only possibilty based on common sense. However, it also boils down to whether the bed has rollers or the bed legs floating on "slippery" slides for ease of moving - cleaning below. But all these can be fixed. Thus, not a permanent issue. Actually, it also all boils down to symbolism in Feng Shui. In that some feel that it is not auspicious to join two single beds into say a master bedroom. Here, it symbolises a split down the middle of the bed = symbolises separation or divorce. Frankly, it is like the continuum of hot or cold. Some very conservative persons, may like you have some concerns with it. And perhaps the overly conservative will say a split is a spilt even if it is not a full split! So, those who belong to this conservative group would say : No, no, no! But frankly, some see it as not a full split as in two twin beds JOINED together. Thus ok to this group. There is no right or wrong answers, here. (Given the above).

A very colourful and bright red rickshaw widely used in Hong Kong in the 1960's thereabouts. Notice that this rickshaw may not fit the larger sized Chinese of today - "the hamburger kid"

Yes, indeed. Another year, another Chinese 7th month - 2014

A large development: 99 years Riversails condo

A walk along the apex of Upper Serangoon Road. Looks like when this "apex" area is fully built-up; no more available plot of land left ...

Under construction

Photos taken during construction stage. When I was in the area at that time.

For apartments in a condo or in car-parks; for those who are considering doing the "move-in" procedure with actual light-up of a traditional stove; do check that no smoke detectors are near-by if one lights up a stove that uses non-smokeless charcoal.

Must every family member be around for the move-in? If you are moving in on a weekday and family members need to go to school; common sense says that they may have to attend school. You can do the move - yourself.

These are some considerations: 1. In general, in a micro-Shapes and Forms; it looks acceptable. 2. Flying star can be used : macro and micro. And even a U-shaped can be plotted differently.
