This flat in a certain HDB estate in Punggol in close proximity to the Punggol MRT station... decided to protect his/their clothings from? Let me see:- a. Birds b. Bats c. neighbours rubbish thrown down d. All of the above Your answer?

Yes, why do you need to meticulously label each pillar at the void deck of blocks of flats? Once in a while, I would visit an older estate. And in this case a certain HUDC estate in Hougang. Here, all pillars and even facade of each block has been labelled. The only reason, I could think of is this..... Town Council Staff: "Sir, can I help you?" Concerned Resident: "A car just rammed into the pillars at my block". Town Council Staff: "Sorry, Sir! I need the pillar number". Concerned Resident: "Shouting excitedly : PIllars no. C2016 , C2017 and C2018" Town Council Staff: "Please hold while I check with the structural engineer"... Concerned Resident: (the upper floor collapsed on him and thank god, his passing was quick" 1 hour later.... Town Council Staff: "Hello? Hello? Are you still there? Bad news, Sir! The structural engineer tell me to tell you... GET THE HELL OUT OF THERE! Such damage means the block will collapse instantly!"

For such a layout plan, usually best to use the "rudimentary" low-tech method :- 1. photo copy the layout 2. paste it on a card-board 3. cut-out the outline of the unit 4. Try to balance it with a piece of nail or pin the aim is to "try" to find the centre-of-gravity (or centrepoint)

Watch gift lands Taipei major, British minister with red faces Taipei. A British government ministr has apologied for giving a watch to the mayor of Taipei, without realsing gifts of timepieces are considered unlucky.

The inauspicious earth 2 is the water star. This is killed/neutralised by (mountain) wood 3. As a result wood 3 is exhausted in the above equation. Thus, one can place a yin metal cure for this sector. Or rather, on average: metal is the most appropriate cure for this sector.

These are some considerations: 1. Some "Feng Shui" related issues have more to do with common sense then Feng Shui itself. 2. For example, 2 years ago, I remembered meeting a client who just bought a re-sale HDB flat. 3. We climbed the stairs and he went towards his unit. Apparently, his unit's fully shiny chrome grille gate. 3.1 He had a fright as thought he saw a figure - (himself) and he got a "shock". 4. What you mentioned, is similar. Sometimes, we suddenly see an image "in the home" after opening the door. The image could actually be one's mirror image. 5. Thus, majority of the time; this is one of the main "concern". For some, it is not an issue.

When installed, this built in cabinet MAY look beautiful. But, just look at the interior.... how ugly can it be? The interior is literally made up of patches of scrap wood ........ beauty is only skin deep....

This is the first time I come across a "new feature" or rather a nice refinement for the main grille gate.... Although this is nothing to shout about; but; sometimes... paying attention to small details... means something to some of us.... I like it...

You got to see this... mother of a gun of a wind chime.......

The attached graphic illustration shows why to "cure" metal; Water may be the "lesser" of the two evils (if any) vs or instead of using Fire element. As one has to remember that the worst star is of the earth element = #5 = misfortune / sickness = strong earth. Introducing #9 fire element may inadvertently fuel #5. If one considers : the Annual, monthly, the hourly flying stars. In general, a "fire" cure is often more popular to be used on (generally) a sector with #3 bad wood element. Of course, the WS and MS should be considered. And if so, even if a #5 flies into that sector with #3; somehow; it is not as worse off as a sector without #3. As under the destructive cycle; wood does "play a-part" e.g. a tree with roots getting into the earth (say #5) and drawing it out... Therefore; it is best to introduce a "cure" or "enhancement" (especially) a cure that has less effects on a sector be it for the 20 year flying stars or annual or monthly or daily stars. And not be myopic or have a tunnel vision in just curing for "the present". The future need to be considered, also.

For some, it is easier to see which elements are "associated" with metal either under the productive and/or destructive cycle. Please see attachment: 1. Productive cycle. Here, water "draws out" metal. 2. Under the destructive cycle? One can clearly see two elements: Fire and Wood. 2.1. Fire helps to "melt" metal or shape it. 2.2. Just imagine one has a carving knife. And a block of wood. After sometime; the metal instrument may get blunt or a block of raw material = wood costs say $6. But after it was carved into a beautiful piece of art-work; it can fetch more...

1. Yes, finally, you got the point as to why Water can be used to against "Metal" element. 1.1 And often, especially in a home environment; an added bonus of using water be it yin water or yang water is that it is often much more "safer" to use than "fire element". 2. As the most yang fire element has to do with activating a light. And often, it can be more dangerous if we say use a light vs water. As water may/can be considered as the lesser of the two evils. 3. Futhermore, some geomancers are still a firm believer of the sector. And given that North belongs to the water element; some geomancers give weight to using Water to harmonize this sector instead of fire. If so, using "water" would help to satisfy such users. 4. In addition, "water" element is also safer in another context: For example, based on the annual flying stars or the monthly flying stars or even the daily or hourly stars: at times the dreaded #5 may fly into the sector. And wouldn't using the fire element further fuel the #5 = misfortune or sickness. But the water element can either drown the #5 or #2. The #5 is considered the worst star - as compared to other lesser evils like #3 or #4 etc... 5. Under the Five elements concept if one dwell closely; actually there is a further element that may help to reduce #7. Provided either the Water or Mountain Star does not have a #3 or #4 (bad wood(s)). Thus, there are more than meets the eye. 6. Another further consideration is that if the location is an open space e.g. a balcony; and if one really uses a water position; nothing else can be placed or "built" above it = allowing for clear space = creating a "bright hall" or bright area. Contrast to using a plant or even a fire object which often may be placed on a pedestal or cabinet etc... thus hindering the flow of qi or "bright hall". 7. That is why 8 out 10 times; even if the frontage may not be suitable for a water position; but if someone were to place a water position e.g. a water fall or pond etc... again nothing else can be built about this = clear space. And 8 out of 10 times; based on shapes and forms Feng Shui; this is a better or safer bet than e.g. planting a mango tree - for a landed property. And in 8 years time; the tree would cast a dark shadow, below. Frankly, I can think of more reasons, but I stop, here. 8. More: If there are no bad wood; sometimes introducing the wood element may also help to improve a MS or WS #7. As metal is suppose to destroy wood and thus become exhausted.

These are some considerations: 1. The Lowest common denominator or L.C.M. 1.1. Here, one must have a good grounding of the Five Elements Concept. 1.2. For example: Earth supports or fuels Metal 1.3. While : Water "draws out" Metal. 2. Without a solid or good grounding of the Five Elements; one will forever be at a lost. 3. For example: #7 ? 3.1. #7 under the Five elements concept is considered as a "weak Metal" element. 3.2. Under the PRODUCTIVE cycle of the Five Elements concept: Earth > Metal > Water > Wood > Fire. 3.3. In your earlier 1st and/or 2nd question: since #7 is a metal element. 3.4. Under the Five elements concept Metal can be reduced by water. 4. So, my question to you is : What's wrong with using Water to reduce the Metal element? Look at it this way.. why you did not use the Earth element? instead of Water? 5. For other questions, I suggest that one make an effort to learn the Five Elements be it number assocations: e.g. #6 = strong metal; #5 = strong earth etc... and also both the Productive and Destructive cycle. 6. If the above, still sounds greek; after reading thru; then, better go back to the drawing board and try to have a solid grounding ..... of? The Five Elements concept. 7. Clue: Sometimes: to fight fire; you need erh... water? or strange as it may seem another element that can "hurt" or destroy in this case #7.

Distinctive shape......

The key essence or ingredient of the Flying Star Feng Shui is to determine the "mouth" of the premises - in this case, your apartment's facing direction. And going by this: where is the most yang qi : be it an opening or light flowing into the home. Thus, based on your description; it could be from your living room looking outwards of your balcony - as an appropriate facing direction. As mentioned, in the past; if a geomancer were to quote past sources: and in the past, there were no high rise; and claim that based on "ancient" text; it should be standing inside the main door looking outwards = ALL THE TIME; no ifs or buts.....then, should perhaps, be transported to Germany in the 1940's and be strung by a piano wire... for this ignorant deed.

You might want to consider some of the factors in the attached list (from a recent By Ranking Review of St George's Towers

Frankly, there are many other factors to consider. Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=33980&new=?pagewanted=all You might want to use some of the points listed, in one of the attachments above to fine-tune your choice. As what you mentioned, is very little especially for me to say which two units are definitely better.

Frankly, ideally, it is best not to have such a situation. But, even in Singapore, the "deceased" and even funeral halls are close-by to living quarters. For example, the Singapore Casket Company and a Hotel is side-by-side in Lavendar street. Very rarely, the recent "dead" would have the means to haunt someone. The Chinese Holy Trinity of luck consists of: Heaven (Born with); Earth (Home & Office) and Human or Man Luck. As Feng Shui is only about 33.33 % ; the other two are: Human and Heaven Luck factors. More often, if we don't feel good factor or feel uneasy this has more to do with Human Luck. Thus, if one has a lower resistance or less of a good feel factor; this affects our "Human or man Luck". So much so, that too much of this can easily be just as bad as poor Feng Shui. Feng Shui is originally a non-religion. Thus in theory, when a person is placed in the "temporary" wake hall; and especially later either get buried or cremated; then there are few occassions if any that they want to "remain" in this wake-hall area. There are perhaps, better areas for them to wander off or even "haunt" then a wake-hall. Unless, someone dies a terrible death at that specific location; then this might be a concern.

You have a choice of 27 different colours to choose from for the wrough iron gate...

When these are displayed in supermarkets, again this is a timely reminder that Chinese New Year is round the corner

An educational list or timely reminder that Chinese New Year 2015 is coming soon.,,, 1. Chinese New Year Couplets 2. Reunion Dinner on the eve of new year 3. New Year Grocery 4. Children keep awake and keeping vigil 5. Traditional Lion Dance 6. Preparing and drinking Red Date Tea 7. Giving of Hong Pao (Ang Pao) Again, my apologies for making or try to make you read "sidewards"

These are some considerations: 1. Only under Period 5; #5 becomes an auspicious number. Else in other periods such as #7 etc... #5 is an inauspicious number. 2. Please note that what you generate is only about Vertical Flying stars. For example, the stack and which level is auspicious or inauspicious or even neutral. 3. Vertical Flying stars is mostly used especially for those who have a keen interest in a stack; such as in a ballot or a potential purchase. That's it. 4. All the talk about how to de-emphasize or cure or destroy or accentuate; you have to look at HORIZONTAL Flying Stars Feng Shui. You have to plot out the specific unit's Flying stars number from North to South to East to West. Such as shown in the sample.

No! It is not about hauntings... type of "dirty".

This stall must be pretty "old". As one no longer sees such "raised lettering" signages anymore. The signage was very popular in the 1970s to 1980's. Nowadays, such advertisement signages are virtually flat pieces.... Therefore, this stall must have been around for quite some time. Location: In Jurong East Market (next to Parc Oasis) condo.

Frankly, there are so many meanings associated with the word "dirty". But actually, this "dirty land" has nothing to do with the "haunted house(s)" kind. This plot of land consists of two run down bungalow houses : 18E and 18D Fort Road. The original owners did not leave a proper will and in the past; there are the wife and many mistresses. I believe you get the picture! One good thing for it's neighbours is that this large plot of land cannot be sold to any developers since the property's titles are "dirty". As such, this two bungalows will continue to remain there as long as the "dirty" titles is not settled!
