  1. Feng Shui of Waterbay Executive Condo (EC) at Punggol Cenral

    This is one development where the external to this Waterbay EC needs to be considered.

    For example; a common threat is the overhead pedestrian crossing.

    In this development, most likely at lower floors; Block 47A, Stack 17may have the sha qicoming from the overheadpedestrian bridge.

    While a neighbourhood block: The Periwinkle Block 47, stack 15 may have sharp corners of the neighbouring HDB Block 195E's two sharp corners aimed towards it.



  2. 1. No layout attached.

  3. Feng Shui and main gate designs:

    A good gate design is :

    1. If privacy is not the main concern; it should be airy i.e. allow good air flow.

    2. For terrace homes that have a small garden and for privacy concerns; there are lots of designs to choose from.

    2.1. In fact, in this small estate in Macpherson with mostly terrace homes; you will notice that there are a total of 38 different gate designs.

    2.2 And no two neighbours seems to use a similar gate design

    are on at least on a 5,000 sq ft
    property. And the homes are built
    further in and thus can afford to have
    such "open view" fencing and gate.On

  4. Yes, it is good to know what are the areas for. Instead of just a "blob" of an outline and asking for answers based on this "blob".

    Please re-read my first comments on the yellow missing area.

  9. These are some considerations:-

    1) Sales ofPackaging Machines

    1.1 If the main job function of the person is in sales, then it is considered as a Fire element person.


    2) MarketAnalyst in a Oil Company

    2.1 Frankly, I am not too familiar with such a function. But if the company seeks a specialisation such as a graduate in Marketing for this job; then it can be the Fire element.

    2.2. But if this job has more to do with consultancy or some form of management consultancy then this belongs to the Metal element.

    2.3. But if the job has more to do with Strategic Planning to grow the oil company; then it should belong to the Wood element.





  10. These are some considerations:

    1. Sun rays

    1.1. Ideally, in an East / West direction; avoid the altar "soaked" in direct sunlight.

    1.2. Thus if there is direct sunlight that shines and heat up the altar say from 7.30am to 10.30 or even 11 plus depending on the location it is placed, then there should be a blind or screen or curtains to shield the altar from direct sunlight..

    1.3. The above is more so, if the altar faces or has part of it soaked by the afternoon sun. It is not like you can go and buy a rayban sunglass for e.g. Guan Yin.

    2. Ideally, the altar should not share the same wall as the toilet and also avoid having it face the bedrooms etc..

    3. Both in the Indian Vastu principles and Chinese principles: avoid placing an altar along the NE to SW alignment : as this can inadvertently create a portal : where NE is the devils main gate/door and SW the portal's backdoor.

    4. Look at it another way: If you home is tiny and if you still want to have an altar: the maxim goes: "Which you prefer the devil or the deep blue see to place that altar?"

    4.1 If you have lots of alternative then talk. If none, then unfortunately"shut-up".

    Lease Commencement in Year 2018

    HDB Anchorvale Field's Block 351B and 351C

    I feel that it is a nice-touch to have both Block 351B and 3551C's central rubbish bin : quite centrally located and also placed next to the common staircase an excellent well thought out design.

    Looks like this development has a common rubbish chute and a "green" chute, also

    The newly launched site: HDB
    Anchorvale Fields estate is a
    fresh depature over many of
    the projects launched last
    year in various areas.
    Here, HDB Anchorvale Fields
    architects have placed the
    Precinct Pavilion at "one
    corner" and found space for it
    within block 351 comprising
    the MSCP, supermarket and
    shops.
    This is because in past
    developments the precinct
    pavilion was centrally
    located. And (unfortunately)
    often wakes are conducted in
    them.
    And many stacks/units up to as
    high as 6 storeys could be in
    full view of them. This
    especially so as we cannot
    blame the residents if
    tomorrow is one of their major
    holidays e.g. Chinese New Year
    lasting 15 days and a wake is
    carried out with "noise -
    prayers , instruments" in full
    view of their living room and
    bedrooms 1 and master
    bedroom(s).
    Thus, this development's
    project architects most likely
    are aware of this concern and
    placed the pavilion tucked
    away to a corner of the MSCP
    carpark complex.
    In addition, although the
    location of the common rubbish
    bins in each of HDB Anchorvale
    Field's is not perfect; at
    least, in my opinion a much
    better design/layout vs that
    of block 150A Yung Ho Spring
    similar new development. (The
    article is a few clicks away
    from this one).

  14. Yes, if google map does show the outline of your new home; you can use the method I mentioned earlier via a protractor to determine the correct facing direction of a home.

    Even if one is standing on an empty land try to take a few readings as sometimes there may be metal objects embedded in the hidden ground. Things like a manhole cover can give off false reading.

    Or a concrete path which often has a metal mesh to strengthen it. Anything with metal is detrimental to the compass reading.

    Alternatively, as mentioned previously; you couldseek help from the architectural firm to provide you with the blueprint of your home. Mostof such blueprint should actually have a North marking on it.

    Or the sales brochure listing the entire estate may also have such a marking.

    better than
    having wide fluctuations in

    like
    the Suunto brand makes compass

    example:
    countries in the equator;
    they sell one

    Canada, should be region
    1 and most
    parts of USA is also within
    region or
    zone 1.Anyway, I don't think
    you do
    have or would need such a compass
    if
    one needs it for just
    one
    instance.Thus, you should try to

  15. Another common sense approach is the "unknown" plot of land especially if one's block/stack is facing it.

    For example, in the HDB West Edge @Bukit Batok; some stacks in this development are facing the Future school plot.

    What to look out, here?

    1. Other than the "noise" from the morning & afternoon assembly (if any) one has to watch out for the roof-line of
    the future school.

    For example, often the roof line / edge can pose a poison arrow depending on it's height. Thus, one may in the future
    find the roof-line aimed towards e.g. a 5th storey flat.

  16. Part II: Yes, it is very common when using an ordinary compass to get mixed compass readings.

    Often, this is due to things like re-enforced steel rebar embedded into the concrete structure i.e. flooring or walls etc...

    In modern times; if one can get hold of a printed streetdirectory or an electronic one (as shown in the sample)

    One will notice that all street directories have the North 0/360 degrees on the top of the page.

    Even google maps have this geographical north marking in this format.

    At the equator; the geographical north and magnetic north is very close and are nearly identical.

    In Canada, the geographical north and magnetic north varies a few degrees. But, this is better than having wide fluctuations in compass readings.

    A professional compass like the Suunto brand makes compass for different regions. For example: countries in the equator; they sell one for "region 3" that is for Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and all countries at the equator.

    For Canada, should be region 1 and most parts of USA is also within region or zone 1.

    Anyway, I don't think you do have or would need such a compass if one needs it for just one instance.

    Thus, you should try to use the streetdirectory or if googlemap captures the outline of your home's building, print it and use a protractor to get the compass direction. Similar to shown in the attachment.

  17. This link shows a Suunto compass that was "balanced for zone 3". Countries that are around the equator:--

  18. These are some considerations:-

    Part 1: Hopefully, the home has a properly drawn architect/draftman's plan.

    If so, there should be a North marking on it.

    Most of the time, this North marking is accurate. However, in some instances, it may not be accurate.

  19. Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans

    west-crest-@-bukit-batok.pdf

    Usually, I am more cautious when it comes to housing in close proximity to a petrol station.

     

    In my opinion, the main concern are the combination of several factors:-

    1. vapour fumes from the storage tanks and/or during customers pumping petrol into their petrol / diesel tank(s).

    2. Down-wind or the "right conditions" that may bring the vapour fumes towards the HDB West Crest @ Bukit Batok Estate.

    These are the two main concerns. Although a fire although not likely is a remote possibility, here.

    The illustration shows a visualisation of the flow of the vapour fumes (IF ANY)

    The motto is: Better safe then sorry.. applies, here

  22. 1970's airy gate and fence design.

    In the past, it is common to have homes that have "airy fencing". Usually such homes are on at least on a 5,000 sq ft property. And the homes are built further in and thus can afford to have such "open view" fencing and gate.
