There are two main considerations: 1. To the highly or ultra-conservative: it is less than ideal. To some even consider this “disrespectful” to do so. 1.1 Not to say that the fan may be from the illustration shown; directly above the figurine. 1.2 Plus there could be some vibrations or sound from the fan. Especially if it gets older. 2. Common sense: Ithe purpose of an exhaust is that air can be sucked from one side and blow out of the other. 2.1 In your illustration; it is merely blowing the exhaust into the concealed box. And since there is no proper outlet: there will not be a proper suction. And later the ash would be circulating within the ceiling box...

There are already sufficient resources in the forum on this subject matter. For example, I did a search for "altar" in this forum and there are already as many as 21 pages of resources on the above subject:-

Case Study: Bed sharing the same wall as a TV set 1. TV sets may have varing EMF radiation (if any). Depending on the size of a TV set; we often see it from a distance. Therefore, there is no concern for those who view the TV programs. 2. Who is sleeping behind or sharing the same wall with the TV set (may or may not be a concern) 2.1. From the layout plan: looks like there is a thick wall between the TV and a bed. If so, there is no issue. 2.2. Other factors include: type of wall e.g. concrete/ concrete/ bricks / prefabricated walls. This are good as they are a shield from the TV emf (if any). 2.3. But if the wall is a dry wall or gysum wall; then there may be a concerned IF the TV set is mounted at bed or bed-head level plus coincidentally the area where the highest EMF from a TV is also found at the level. 2.4 Fortunalely, if the bed is as shown in bedroom 2; there is no issue given that there is a small part of the "legs" position sharing extactly the same wall as the TV set. 2.5 However, some of us may sometimes switch sides: bed-head directly next to the TV, then less than ideal. 2.6 Of course the simpliest solution is not to mount a TV set within the same level of a bed + the person's sleep position is good enough.

Case Study: Under Symbolism in Feng Shui, it is less than ideal with the bed sharing the same wall as the stove. It does not matter if the side of the bed or the bed-head shares this wall = not good. Tower 1, C2: Tower 1, C4:

Case Study: 1. A toilet should ideally share one external wall 2. A toilet should not be in close proximity to the kitchen: stove/sink - Tower 2. Type C1 wth #02-12 to #35-12 A. TOILET marked as "A": 1. Please refer to marking in red "A". Generally there is no issue with a toilet with sink and WC at the yard. 1.1. However it is a concern if such a toilet is so close to the Asian kitchen. 1.2. One concern is whenever one closes the lid of the WC seat; whenever, one flush the WC, water will gush into the WC airwell; and because usually many WC seats have some gap where the rubber studs hold it higher; the concern is the micro-droplets from the flush may blow out of the toilet towards the kitchen. 1.3. In addition, if the kitchen door and the Toilet marked as "A"'s door is not closed; it is less than ideal to see the toilet sink when one enters the unit. 1.4 For example in the attached illustration: Standing at marking "X", if the Asian kitchen door + Toilet door of "A" is not closed; one can see that toilet's sink. 1.4.1. Under the premise: If it is not seen, it is no longer a "threat"; then simply close this toilet door when not in use. B. TOILET marked as "B": 2. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; a toilet should at least share ONE (1) external wall. 2.1. This is not so for Toilet/WC marked as "B". Furthermore, although there is a wall between it and the stove; again less than ideal. - Tower 1. C2: (See Below) 3. Good that the Toilet/WC marked as "A" is quite a distance away from the Asian kitchen as it is separated by a utility area. 3.1 Although again, the Powder Room marked as "B" should have at least share an external wall; however, it is not "facing" "B's" WC. Unlike the earlier example. Thus overall, this layout is not ideal; but much better layout than that of Para 1.

Case Study: Before signing the dotted line, check where is the external rubbish bin(s) As the two tower blocks have external rubbish chutes. It is unclear from the various internal layout as to the location of the rubbish chute(s). Thus before signing the dotted line; do check where the central rubbish chute(s). As in the earlier sample layouts of Tower 2 : Type A1 and Type B; good that the rubbish bin or bins (some new developments may have a common and recyling bin) is not beside or next to the main door. Make sure that when standing at the main door looking outwards, the rubbish bin(s) should not be seen direclty from here. Additional considerations some of which may apply to tis development:

Case Study: Under symbolism in Feng Shui; it is less than ideal to have the shower of a bathroom sharing the same wall as the stove Layout of Tower 2. Type B 2-Bedroom. #03-08 to #35-08 Similar examples include Tower 1, B:-

Further to what I had mentioned, this is cause for concern

Frankly, if one does not sleep parallel to or to be precise: does not have face and mouth directly sleeping sharing the same was as the WC is fine or ok. Thus in addition, if or especially if one does the above and sleeps on the floor; close to the WC pipes; then this might be a concern.

Part 2: Park Colonial sits on what used to be a hospital funded by the American Mission of the Seventh-Day Adventist . 1. The hospital then was called Youngberg Memorial (Adventist) Hospital. as it was named after Paster G.B. Youngberg an Adventist missionary. 2. Some Singaporeans were born in this hospital till the 1990’s. In fact two of my cousins were born in this hospital in the 1970’s. 3. Until recently, it was taken over by the Salvation Army. 4. The building has a Colonial heritage. This could be the reason it was called Park Colonial. 5. The well laid out Bidadari cemetery can be seen well laid out in grids to the right of the map:

Part 1: Park Colonial Sales Brochure resources: Launch date: 23 June 2018 As the theme suggests, it is based on past hertitage but emphasis is grandeur or luxury. Expected T.O.P. is 2021. Under Flying Stars Period 8. Leasehold 99 years. No surprises: Standard uniform layout of blocks: Chip Eng Seng (CES) was founded in 1960 and listed in SGX.

Sixty and counting down to zero...

Nowadays, electrical appliances have ratings e.g. 1 to 5 star (ticks) rating. Cars also have safety ratings also from 1 to 5. What if properties have Feng Shui ratings? Check out this developer...

Five Elements Concept: Wind considered as one of the elements? No. Although Wind is considered as one of the two higher-level concept of: Wind + Water. "Thus much higher in status than Metal, Water, Wood, Fire or Earth...

I think there are a few things to consider: Here, the main issue is how the front door faces the dining area. 2.1. This issue is more about privacy and what people think rather than Feng Shui rules. 2.2. For example, if the front door opens right to the dining table while you are eating, people walking by might see you. This is why people suggest putting a divider between the front door and the dining table. 2.3. Also, the front door should not open straight toward the living room windows or balcony. If it does, you can close the windows, use a divider, or hang curtains. 2.4. It is also about common sense and making a good first impression. If the first thing you see when you walk in is a messy dining table, it might be a good idea to use a divider. Notice that in this layout, the kitchen's glass window does not face the front door. This design keeps the messy parts of the kitchen, like the sink and dishes, hidden from view. So, what is the problem here? Please look at the picture below: 4.1 In Feng Shui, the suggested divider is placed right in the middle. The edge of the divider looks like a knife cutting the living room into two equal halves. 4.2 If you use a divider, it should be at least waist-high and have some gaps so you can see through it. Also, make sure you can easily see the front door from the sofa. 4.3. A divider with gaps allows people sitting at the dining table to see what is happening at the front door. This lets a family member talk to someone at the door or notice if someone is messing with the lock.

On shifting the bedroom door; from your general description; better not to do so. Can also close the toilet door when not in use.

Past comments on ceiling fans

Under Shapes and Forms.. pleasing and unique... To me, the immediate image of a person’s head and fluid lines of the body.. plus the beautiful replicated patterns in the pool.. opulence... Left, right and bottom are beautiful circles..

In 1966, HDB Admiralty Flora was on virgin land .. To NW was Naval Base & Marsiling; SE was Sembawang and to NE was Chong Pang. Then Yishun was not the predominant name for that area. Directly to the South was Mandai.
