I have personally visited the showroom.
Indeed, I have witnessed firsthand how the showroom, particularly the bedrooms, appears significantly larger than in reality.
For instance, the master bedroom can only accommodate a queen-sized bed and would struggle to fit a king-sized bed along with many stacks or units.
Moreover, the raised floor tiles at the main entrance match the color of the main floor tiles, and if nothing is placed at the edge of the entrance, one can easily imagine a child or an elderly person tripping over the raised flooring. (Refer to the illustration)
The only advantage is that this is currently one of the few executive condominiums and condos that feature solid walls throughout the interior of the home.

These are some considerations:
1. Under the Chinese system; some consider one's Gua/kua no. as the lucky no. Find out your Gua (Kua) Number?
2. And under ba zi; there is also one's favourable(plus wealth colours)and unfavourable colours.Find out you Personal Element?
On the other hand; if one dwells into numerology; there are at least a few hundred formulas and methods as well as some astrologers use cards; some use birds or other animals to pick numbers for you.
Thus, since there are so many numerology formulas and methods; the saying goes: "One man's meat is another man's poison". The outcome couldin a law of averages come up to 50-50 percent ...or none at all.

In my opinion, once a person is cremated e.g. and placed into an urn; this is "pretty" safe i.e. "ashes to ashes".
Usually, slight caution is especially when a grave was exhumed and best not to touch or be given any items from such a site e.g. a button or someitems that was left in that coffin.
How about, someone has just died recently; a wake and sent to be cremated. This is generally pretty safe especially after the body has been cremated.
Frankly, in any line of "business", there are sometimes hazards that one may face. For example, even usfor geomancers; once a while; during our course of work; we do encounter homes and premises that are not "clean".
If one goes about your normal admin work; in my opinion; there should not be any concern whatsoever.

In my view, the following are some important considerations:
1. The concept is that one is not wedded to the waterfall itself, but rather situated close to it.
1.1. One might be apprehensive about being married to a waterfall. However, since this is not a lasting arrangement, and provided that the waterfall does not disrupt the ceremony—such as water splashing onto guests or food—it is generally acceptable.
1.2. Alternatively, if the sound of the waterfall significantly overwhelms the atmosphere and disrupts the announcements and activities of the wedding.
2. Most of the aforementioned points relate to common sense.
3. Auto-suggestion and self-fulfilling prophecy: it is advisable to consult one's elders first. For instance, speaking with a grandmother (matriarch) to ascertain if she has any taboos, if applicable. If there are none, then the prospect of having a wedding here appears more favorable.
4. Have you sought the advice of a 'crazy' geomancer? If you consulted a geomancer who practices a simplistic form of ba zi, where they inform you or your partner that they are a fire person and should avoid water, etc., then if you have encountered such an individual, you must decide whether to accept or disregard their counsel.
5. Indeed, I have attended weddings abroad that were near artificial waterfalls, among other locations.
6. Furthermore, there are even instances of couples marrying while wearing scuba diving gear in a large tank, etc..
6. And there are even those who got married wearing suba diving gear in a large tank... etc.. Okay.. most likely one of them is a Navy Seal. LOL

Another dimension to look at is the Flying Stars.
Besides other considerations, concepts and principles before making an educated fact-based determination of whether to re-locate a kitchen;
Enclosed is a sterling example of understanding each sector's Flying Stars.
Else we may hear such bad news as:"Mountain Star #8 with Water Star #8 = Prosperity good wealth is wasted in the Kitchen & Utility area"
Thus, if we were to re-locate a kitchen, we may inadvertently located it or waste the good wealth sector location.

The Glades condo site plan superimposed on the onemap.sg site.
Out of a total of 9 blocks in this development : 8 blocks are of a NW and SE facing direction.
The only advantage going for this site is it's proximity to the MRT station else with the elevated MRT tracks and stations; hopefully the noise level from the MRTs is tolerable even if 6 blocks are furthest away from the tracks.

In my opinion, these blocks (highlighted in yellow) in the attachment comprising various configurations / bedroom types are the better stacks in Botanique at Bartley.
In addition, if one is a west group person, this is an added bonus:-
Blk 235 stacks 38 39
Block 233 stacks 31, 32, 36 and 37Another good thing is that these blocks and stacks are not affected by the afternoon sun as they are all Flying Stars Period 8 NE1.

If this was the 1950s to even up to the 1980's a person without many tiers or levels of facts can even be passed-off as someone knowledgeable in Feng Shui.
But in todays world with so many resources; theories, concepts; and the need to collate all the facts; just like zig-saw puzzles into a large holistic map;
Re-locating a stove is serious business. Even more so, since one has in addition to look at the relocation of the sink with all it's ancillaries like the drainage pipes to sewerage system.
Try not to ask "no substance" questions. And wanting to extract some answers from such erh? questions?
As I mentioned, a "no substance" is akin to the blind leading the blind.
Even in the early days of Feng Shui; there were still some tools equivalent to an "X-ray". Not that sophisticated but at least some substance.
It is just like; I am standing next to an MRI machine. And getting asked questions and unable to utilize the MRI machine.
If so, as I had mentioned the HARD TRUTH is why then use such a thing as Feng Shui. Go use that coin and flip it!
Furthermore, there are other common sense factors, some of which I had mentioned in an earlier message. This one I have not mentioned:
For example, it makes a difference if the home is a semi-detached. As a semi-detached has three sides/opening. Usually the front and back are open. And the open side should often preferably to a bedroom or dining area or activity area instead of being wasted if it is occupied by the kitchen. If so this most likely means that the bedroom would be sharing the wall with the other semi-detached - fewer ventilation opening(s) etc....

There are many instances both in Singapore, Malaysia and all over the world that it is still possible for the front door and front gate to be aligned together.
Why some say that it cannot be aligned?
This has more to do with common sense than Feng Shui:
1. It has often to do with either the type of main gate design and /or how often one fully opens the main gate.
2. This is because, if the main gate if fully opened can be "exposed" to sha qi or poison arrow(s) from neighbouring street lamp or poison arrow(s) from a neighbour's roof-line.
3. Especially, because of Para 2; this is why, it is often considered SAFER to have the main entrance door at the "other side" of the house. Here, we are suppose to have more control as to what is facing the main door.
Thus because of Para 3; some conveniently say that the main door should not be aligned with the main gate.

This statement sounds more like a newbie "geomancer-talk". It is so easy to say shift this, swop this.
But, one needs to do a proper Triage.
Many considerations: who is the main breadwinner (male or female); on the ground floor; has to check what is above on the 2nd floor. For example, what happens if there is a toilet at 2nd floor - south east.
And or if the stove goes to SE, what is on the 2nd storey a bedroom a bed etc...

Botanique @ Bartley
Because the 9 blocks in Botanique @ Bartley are not arranged in an orderly grid or row fashion; it is inevitable that there may be a few poison arrows of corners of blocks aimed to towards a neighbour's opening such as a balcony etc...
Please see the red lines on the attachment.
In my opinion most likely Block 221 stack 3 has poison arrows that could be aimed towards the balcony of block 223 stacks 7 and 6.
Fortunately, the rest of the poison arrow(s) may be a hit and miss..scenario.

While this design/layout also ensures that two more stacks 02 and 03 faces the development's pool side. And stack 04 and 05 have an acceptable view also.
It is also remarkable that even when all blocks are
in a circular profile; the architect has also make sure
that there are no poison arrows aimed at each other!QuoteOn 3/26/2015 7:04:09 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Feng Shui:1. Looks like the
architect of this develop had
given much thought to the
layout of the blocks in
RiverTrees Residences.2. Not
only are all the blocks in a
semi-circular profile;2.1.
Only one stack Tower 27 stack
#18 is close to direct
afternoon sun. 2.2. With
another Tower 25 stack #11 in
second place; otherwise,
majority of the rest of the
blocks and stacks do not have
DIRECT afternoon sun. 2.3.
With "Point-blocks" it will
not be possible for all stacks
to avoid in-direct afternoon
sun.2.4. For example, take a
close look at Tower 29: three
stacks face NE : stacks 20, 21
and 22. 2.5. While the
architect cleverly place
stacks 19, 23 and 24 in a True
North (0/360 degrees) to South
(180 degrees) alignment. 2.6.
Which means that even every
six months; the angle of the
afternoon sun would not
intrude further into these
stacks/flats. I feel that this
is a nice touch and the
architect must really have a
feel for those who (in the
near future) would live in
them.3. Thus, I happy to say
that the architect has adopted
a "Even though we don't stay

1. Again, whether if a property or site gets "the blade" or at a "T-junction" one should further look closely at things like:
2. Driver in the country is on a right or left-hand drive.
2.1 Here, I have plotted the assumed side on which a vehicle would normally travel on the left side of the small road and the trajectory if it were to travel straight.
2.2 If so, remotely it will never face the stack head-on but rather most likely meet the pedestrian walk-way.
3. Another consideration is that you have a T-junction leading from a small (minor) futureroad to a larger (major) road.
3.1 As such; this usually means that the larger or (major). As such, it is "suicidal" for a vehicle from this small future road to speed straight out towards the major road.
4. Thus, the stack circled in blue is the least if at all affected by the T-junction.

1. There is nothing really bad with a centrally locatedprecinct pavilion most of the time.
2. But if there are festive occasions especially Chinese New Year; where a wake/funeral may be carried in the precinct; and it is in full view of many stacks/units; then many Chinese are superstitious of the "clash" of both events: one joyous the other sorrowful.

Here, as this is a HDB estate,
it is not allowed to have
swimming pools or water falls
or water features in it's
estate.
However, just imagine; if we
replace the two large 2 storey
car-parks with water
positions; ain't this similar
to many other condo
developments where many of the
stacks/units face in-wards
"into the pool" area?
In many older estates, one can
usually find very long blocks
with most of their common
corridors and living rooms
facing towards the road vs
this type of development.
I believe, the project
architect might have got his
inspiration for HDB Tampines
Greendriges from perhaps the
condo he/she is staying or had
worked on a similar plot with
condo layout such as Luxury in
Sengkang or La Fiesta type and
many more with such
similarities..

The newly launched site: HDB

In this development, although
the pavilion precinct is
located exactly at the centre
of the development;
fortunately only one stack:
Block 605D stack 360's low
storeys can clearly see into
the precinct pavilion.
Actually, based on Shapes and
Forms Feng Shui; block 605d
stack 360's HIGH floors are
suppose to have one of the
better location/position in
this entire development.

In my opinion, Austville condo should have the least concern if any of the "sick building syndrome" or SBS for short.
The six blocks are divided into a row of 3 blocks by 3 blocks. And they are so spaced out.
In addition; both ends are not "covered" by other blocks nor form a U or Square shape to trap evaporated pool water.
Do feel extremely safe about this... i.e. no concern at all of the SBS

1. Please see attachment.
2. As the U-trough of Belysa condo is shallow and there is a large open space at the apex or top of the illustration;
3. And the distance between the lap pool and the blocks/stacks is wide; this type of layout has lesser concern of concentrations of evaporated pool water - very rarely unless wind conditions is "about right".
4. Even if there is a high evaporation rate of pool water; in my opinion I don't see a high enough treat to the stacks/blocks.
