Frankly, it is all in your English. In your sketch you wrote and I quote: "This has a SLIGHTLY bigger step....." Check your English. What does SLIGHTLY mean. In my opinion; based on what you wrote above; I replied based on your judgement.

Thanks for the sketch. Based on what you wrote; it does seem that the staircase in question does have............ ..... ..... ..... ..... 17 steps

Further to what I had mentioned: 1. The concept of "more the better". 1.1. Here, the more the inputs the better it is. 1.2. What this means is that as mentioned previously, the most authentic Ba Zi chart, today is to analyse: Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception. 1.3. House of life is important as some chart may be affected. For example, a geomancer who does not analyse the House of Life could interpret that the person is a "WEAK earth" person. 1.3.1. But if the House of life was considered; this person could eventually instead be a "STRONG earth person. 1.4. House of Conception is another area of consideration.. which.. I shall not dwell in this thread.. 2. Therefore, if one wants to "Do it"; try to do it properly and not using "superficial" ba zi that does not consider especially these two "Houses - Life and Conception". 2.1. The word "Ba Zi" may sound the same but done by different people; they can be totally different. So, insist that a full chart is done for you.

So sorry! This is not Feng Shui. But based on facts. In the past, when cars do not have a third brake lights and the brake light lamps are not very bright.. there were higher incidences of red cars having more accidents. In the past or today, what ever the period; Insurance companies in the west seems to want to charge more if a car is grey in color... I wonder why?

If my salary is SGP$1,000/-. And I have two babies to feed. Each baby consumes around 4 tins a month x $50/-. Each baby needs $200/- per month x 2 babies = $400/-. And child nursery fees will go up 20 percent next year.... Hmmm.....

This caricature shows the "merits" of applying Fixed Template Ba Gua Fung Sway....

These are some considerations: 1. The good news is that: "No even in the Southern Hemisphere". 2. The bad news is: the rest of what you had written is not authentic Feng Shui. If a geomancer in the Far East: Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong and today, China and Taiwan were to practise such "nonsense"; he or she barely make a living from "bogus" Feng Shui. 3. Since you mentioned: children/creativity gua ; top right corner love/marriage - unfortunately, and sorry to say such things has no place in this forum. 4. A chart of the practical approach to Feng Shui is attached, here. And nothing close to the above... 4.1. For example, a chart can take as long as 4 to 5 hours to work on. Contrast this to the ba gua. How can something be so simple as super-imposing a ba gua chart and presto; get the "answers" in just a few minutes?

1. If one is interested to find out more on bogus FS as what you had mentioned; 2. One can do a search for e.g. " Black Hat Sect " or "fixed template" 3. Here is one of the links:- (may need to cut-paste) http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33733&new=%3EHouse%20Hunting%20:%20A%20Lot%20PositiOn%20-%20%3Cem%3EFeng%20Shui%3C/em 4. Most of the time; if one were to visit a "Feng Shui" website and encounter this fixed template bagua chart; most likely, it is a western site or run by a western person. 4.1. This is because, if one were to operate such a business in the Far East (Malaysia, Singapore, Hong Kong) and China & Taiwan... unfortunately it is considered a "laughing stock"... 4.2. Thus, such practitioners of the "bagua" thing is very common in the US, Europe and even down under. 5. As I always mentioned in my previous postings on this subject. 5.1. Any creative person or any "Tom, Dick or Harry" can start a Feng Shui business or write a book on it with the following:- 5.2. The so called book:- 5.2.1 Introduction 5.2.2 North (Career) 5.2.3 SW (Romance) etc... Courage etc.. etc.... Just within a day or a month; such "fly-by-night" shops would be formed. Truly "what rubbish".

Always remind ourselves that during our grand parents time; there were no mass commercial products like the Three legged toad, crystal etc.... Spread the word to your family members and friends that the buying MUST Stop! So that the selling, CAN!" There are too many instances where some geomancers found commercial products too attractive to be missed... And they end up endorsing so called Feng Shui products at high mark-ups. There are also some who also sell jewelry in the name of Feng Shui.

Effort is needed, here

These are some considerations: 1. Generally an authentic Ba Zi chart in the past consists of Eight pillars. Please see attachment where there are a total of 8 pillars consisting of : 1.1. Year, Month, Day, Hour, House of Life and House of Conception 2. Please note that not only is the Year and Day are important; in a true Ba Zi analysis: in the attachment, each Heavenly Stem (HS) has to interact with each Earthly Branch (EB): 2.1. For example: the relationship is shown in the RED "web" in the attachment. 3. In the past, traditionally, a proper chart such as above that has all the "pillars" could take as much as a few weeks to work out to examine the "harms, punishments, clashes etc..." 3.1. Nowadays, in modern times; if programmed properly; a computer will be able to do all the groundwork and leave us with quality time to analyse the results. 3.2. In addition the House of Life is equally important as it can determine whether one is a "weak" or "strong" element.... 4. Further to what I mentioned: although one can use the same term: "Four Pillars or Ba Zi" but some are just too basic while few would bother to do a ba zi with additional fields : House of Life and House of Conception. 4.1. In a full chart: it is like analysing 6 variables under Heavenly Stem YYYY / MM / DD / HH / Life / Conception with another 6 variables under Earthly Branch. 5. In order to find out the impact if any of not only the day and year clash; you have to do your "homework" and work out a ba zi report. It is not so simple as posting a few lines of text.... and presto... the next login... the answers will appear..... someone has to work out the ba zi report.. first.. before... analysing it.. - this is the fact.

Think of annual Flying Stars like fine tuning ..........

Look at it this way, the various banks and Feng Shui Emporium would sincerely like to thank you for your business! "When the buying stops; the killing (sorry!) I mean the buying, CAN!"

Fix-the-leaks, First!

The Feng Shui Emporium vs "When the buying, Stops; the selling, Can!"

Confirming the Flying Star direction. By confirming that the compass direction of the sales brochure falls within the same "tolerance" i.e. SW3 232.4 degrees to 247.4 degrees. The sales brochure shows 237 degrees. While the onemap.sg shows 234 degrees. And both these two findings fall within SW3 Flying Star direction. Thus it is always good to counter-check such information and futher confirmation with the actual on-site readings.

Finally, spotted a potential coffee-shop within the vicinity of Upper Serangoon Crescent : future Boathouse; Heron Bay; Riversails and the near-by new HDB estates. The potential coffee-shop is located at Parkland Residences: Blk 475 MSCP. Parkland Residences a DBSS has just TOP.

Not exactly a "million dollar" view.. but at least; a welcoming change from many other developments where the frontage is merely a neighbouring block's stacks/units "staring at you". A peaceful and tranquil calm....

Bright & uncommon seat designs @ Void Deck

In the past, especially during the 1980's to 1990's; whenever HDB flats face "west"; automatically; the architects would add shades to windows facing the afternoon sun. But often after 1990's fewer and fewer developments add such "fine" touches. I am glad that the architects of this DBSS Parkland Residences have continued with such past traditions. And for the owners; I believe; this adds a vast difference towards the effects of the afternoon sun.

The location of a HDB development's pavilion should be a concern whenchoosing a flat. As a Pavilion mayon ocassions have funeral wakes& funeral rituals (noise). In some HDB sites; their pavilion is centrally located and surrounded by the various blocks. This may not be exactly a good thing as virtually many frontages even as high as 5th storey could directly look into the pavilion. And in the event of a funeral; the funeral tent; sitting area, portable toilet etc.. can be seen. And when rituals are performed; the sound can travel to some of the nearby stacks/unitss

Nowadays, there are lots of new condos where the site is like a "fort". Here, many of these new developments have blocks/stacks that seems to "wrap" or "trap" the water feature in the middle of the site. And does not allow maximum air movement within the water positions and the external. There are some gaps, but this makes it harder for the evaporated "dirty" water to flow out of the site. And so after, if one's unit is low e.g. ground level or 2nd storey; and if none of the neighbour opens their windows; a high concentration of evaporated dirty pool water may filter into the home. What I like about the site plan of Ripple Bay is that although the blocks are arranged roughly in three generously spaced parallel blocks; they are far apart. And easily allow air-flow (qi) to refresh the estate. Contrast this with the Watercolours EC (in the same area) where the blocks are so close and enclosing the pool side.

In modern day, a geomancer should apply:- 1. Compass School Feng Shui: Eight House & Flying Stars 2. And also consider Ba Zi Feng Shui. 3. Please see attachments for a better understanding of what is "Ba Zi Feng Shui" and also how is Ba Zi Feng Shui applied together with Compass School Feng Shui to produce a Feng Shui Audit Report for a home
