Blk 664B Waterway Sunbeam:
I am glad that the architect avoided a stack or stacks directly facing the drainage/canal that leads towards the sea.
By angling the two stacks and creating a void; this negates the inauspicious Shapes and Forms for the two stacks.

House no. 22 Tosca Street.
This house no. 22 Tosca Street has built a "buffer" at the house compound. For example, you can see the outline of the house with a generous compound at the location which may be affected by the T-junction.
This house has built a buffer from the T-junction.

Let's look at the attached onemap.sg.
Although house No. 23 Jalan Terang Bulan is located at a T-junction.
But if one can visualise from the map; the T-junction is just a small dead-end or no-thru road. And this is just a short road. Not enough for any vehicle to gain MUCH speed (if any) on this short-strip of road.
Given this major consideration and the fact that house no. 23 also has brick/cement wall other than it's main gate opening; this house is considered "pretty" safe - from the threat of a fast moving run-away vehicle - which is virtually impossible threat - if any!

Applying
(MING Tang) or Bright Hall effect in Feng Shui...
A mature frangipani tree has both its branches and leaves that are spread out.
There are in general two colours: white or pink/reddish.
This home although has a large frangipani tree; compared to the mango tree; this tree does not overwhelm the front yard.
It also is lovely to look at with its pinkish flowers.

Case Study: This home has a very practical and functional window design at their flat/unit with living room windows sharing the common corridor of a HDB flat.
The home owners changed the existing sliding windows by "splitting it into two. With the lower half being frosted.
Has to anything to do with Feng Shui? Not directly. It has more to do with common sense.
For example, if one is more likely to open the windows because of the split windows; this means that the home can be more airy and allow for better ventilation within.
As compared to a home owner that always closed all their windows facing the corridor for fear that someone could peep in or for privacy reasons.
This design gets the thumbs-up as it allows for both privacy and ventilation. Unlike the existing HDB design that compromises either of the two.
This may be a one-off. As in my many visits to HDB blocks all over Singapore, I had not seen another unit sharing this design. What a pity!

IN SUMMARY
"The laughing Buddha serves as a symbol of joy and positivity in home decor, offering a welcoming presence that contrasts with more serious figurines. Its versatility as a decorative item allows for placement in various settings without strict adherence to traditional rules." Master Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net
+++
These are some considerations:
1. The laughing Buddha shares a similar theme as a pair of chubby well-endowed smiling lions found on the gate posts of some landed property homes.
2. Instead of a fierce looking chi-lin or qi-lin "guarding a home"
3. What this means is than especially for the owners of a home; coming home and greeted by a laughing Buddha is considered as having a good feeling.
4. Other than that, the laughing Buddha is actually a commercial product or even considered as a "decorative" piece. Unlike a serious figurine like a Guan Yin which has to be placed onto an altar.
5. As such frankly, in my opinion; there are no rules or regulations with such a decorative item i.e. laughing Buddha. Thus generally, placing the figurine next to or beside such things as a wifi lan module or even close to a set-up box etc.. is not that a great deal. If one really has no space; then this is the least of the concern or no issue.

ideal as I read from some of
the websites that buddha
should not be placed near any
electrical appliances? -
These are some considerations:
1. Both sides of the wall:
1.1. In the master bedroom, move the bed slightly out from the wall.
1.2. On the altar side, don't place the figurine(s) e.g. Guan Yin too close to the back of the wall.
2.When either partner sleeps. Do you have "bad dreams?". If no, then generally, given that there is no choice; still can live with it. But if either one of the partners have recurrent "bad" dreams; then this is a tell-tale sign that all is not right.
2.1 But if either partner can easily sleep and sleep like a "pig" then all is fine or OK.

Waterway Terraces Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans
Ultimately, one of the most distinctive designs is HDB Waterway Terraces 1 @ Punggol, which has recently achieved its Temporary Occupation Permit (TOP).
If my memory serves me correctly, the last design that could be considered unusual or rather unique was the Pinnale @ Duxton.
This entire complex, referred to as HDB Waterway Terraces, appears to feature exterior curves that are smoothed out.
One of the most "unusual" experiences I encountered was during my visit to a stack/unit in the morning. It seems that the morning sun illuminates the neighboring walls, creating a glare when one stands by the windows of any of the rooms: the living room, bedrooms 1, 2, and the master bedroom.
I anticipate that in the afternoon, the sun will shine on another section of the block, thereby reflecting that "white" wall glare into the bedroom.
If one or the entire family finds themselves needing to wear increasingly thicker glasses... well, one might as well attribute it to residing here!

Frankly, it could be an uphill task to DIY. As even a normal chart takes us around 5 hours to work out.
You could just apply some of the easier charts:-
http://www.geomancy.net/reports/reports.htm
Especially, which bedroom is in which sector and best for whom (if possible).
And see if you can understand the "sleeping direction" / study directions etc.. with some of the above free reports.
The above are Nice-to and not a must have.
On your question on "if we could start moving in our " Yes, it is possible. The clue can be found in the attachment Q1 and A1. See the attachment.

Thanks for the layout plans.
These are some considerations:
1. Common sense : Ideally, the sewerage pipe(s) does not run directly above a stove. As there is a 1 in a million chance that the sewerage pipe may leak or burst sending "chocolate stuff" downwards. That's all.
2. Under symbolism in Feng Shui, best not to have the WC throne directly above the stove. If this is not the case, then phew!
3. For a bedroom above the kitchen; so long as the bed/bed-head is not directly above a stove; this is a plus point.
Otherwise, what you have is acceptable. As frankly, there is often no such thing as a perfect home even if one builds it from scratch.

true?As it will cost us

somewhere else. The main
reason we decided to put a

affordability.I have attached

the kitchen, would it best to
move it to the area where the

Before getting that great layout of yours signed-off!
Always superimpose e.g. the ground floor layout onto the second storey and look out for the location of the stove(s) and toilets and vice-versa.
Often, this is to check on whether the 2nd storey toilet is directly above the main door and/or dining table and/or altar and/or bed location on the ground floor etc...
