These are some considerations: 1. No offence, but what you wrote sounds like it is a SIN to have: an attached toilet for the master bedroom + shared toilet........ 2. Don't you think that take most layout plans and your layout don't seem out of the ordinary. 3. Frankly, there is no such thing as a perfect apartment. Far more, no such thing as an apartment without a toilet. 4. Such an overkill can only mean one thing: "go shut down all your toilets" and go use the ones in the condominium if indeed this is a full condo development. But since HDB flat, may have to walk further to a coffee-shop to make use of their dirty toilet for daily use. 5. You can search for past forum messages. On why it has more to do with common sense even if the toilet bowl faces a door (bathroom) door; simply leave the lid at the open position. 6. Like what you wrote... might as well not stay in any apartment. 7. Again no offence, it ain't NO SIN to stay in such an apartment with a very common layout (type) of plan. Unless, one is an Alien, and suddenly parachuteddown to earth and find such layouts weird and alien or very unfamiliar to them. Frankly, I find this truly an over-kill.

The dreaded #5 Five Yellow = misfortune sickness star is at the centre of the premises, this year....

The concept of: Ashes to Ashes, dust to dust holds true for anything that has been cremated. Thus cremation is considered as : Neutral. As a mark of respect; often, place it somewhere that is not often disturbed. Need not display it. So long as not placed below one's bed or preferably not in one's bedroom is fine or OK. Often if one has a study, can be placed e.g. on a shelf perhaps next to the window etc... There are no hard or fast rule for such things. Thus "show respect" is a good idea, here.

1. These are some considerations:- 2. It is good to understand some guidelines and useful considerations in either determining whether a home changes period. Or if unsure, what are the reasonable steps to determine the Period of a home:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32760&new= 3. Ideally, if one had bought a new home, but YET to stay in; could consider doing all the renovations be it major or MINOR PRIOR to move in. 4. Thus, it is better that after completion of the sale/purchase of the home. Immediately do the necessary renovations (especially at the center area). 5. Then if possible, move-in or (select a good date to move-in). This is considered as NICE-to DO.

1. Please refer to this link with guidelines:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32760&new= 2. In the above link, do take note that the conservative may even still consider the home as a Period 7. 3. And one should still work out TWO charts. And follow the advice or guidelines. For example, there are situations where the Flying Star numbers at a specific sector(s) are: 3.1. In both periods sometimes both star numbers are near identical e.g. either auspicious or inauspicious stars. If so, it is safe to apply the 20 year flying star "cure" or "enhancement" without any detrimental effects. 3.2. Thus, don't always assume that just because one changes the roof; it will change to Period 8. As the conservative would say that the foundations must be changed (not necessarily the cosmetic flooring).

Common sense says that it is good to have space below the bed. So that one can easily clean below the bed.

Yes, I mean you! Please erase this from your head.

They say, talk is cheap. So is this one......

If you had determined that the tree (plant) is a poison arrow; don't blame us when your (the) tree happens to suddenly "die". Did you say BEACH or (bleach?):- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=29&mid=23251&new=

The MacDonald House is the last remaining office building withred bricks facade. The building was built 3 years after World War 2. It was and designed by Reginal Eyre of the architectural firm Palmer and Turner. It was one of the 1st high-rise buildings in Orchard Road. During that time, the MacDonald House housed mainly British, American and Australian companies. I remember clearly that the show rooms of British made cars such as the mini-clubman was along this area. On March 1965, in an incident known as the MacDonald House bombing, two Indonesian saboteurs placed a bomb on the mezzanine floor.At the time of the bombing the buildinghoused the Australian High Commission and the Japanese Consulate.

The first genration bomb shelters (constructed in the 1990's) are found below a specific block of flats. These first generation bomb shelters, today are leased to Tuition centres or Mini-markets. Or in this estate (Whampoa Road), the bomb shelter is currently empty.

Please see attachment. Just imagine all the dots : red and blue are tree trunks...

Sorry no photo seen. On a second storey, most likely if one sees a tree trunk. And if this tree trunk is tangent to or slice towards an opening e.g. balcony, this should be a poison arrow.

Common sense says: "If there are leaks, fix the leaks. Don't always go for the easy way out by thinking only of enhancements, enhancements and more enhancements!"

Like all concepts, the Eight House concept also has it's limitations...

Common sense says that a toilet on the second storey especially the WC (sewerage) pipe(s) should not be located above such things as the kitchen stove or somewhere we may spent time; at.

The Feng Shui emporium swears that when you buy their magic (wealth) purse, money will fall out of the sky!

These are 2nd generation HDB 5-room point block flats with more elaborate rounded balconies. Can be found at 125 Aljunied Road and even at Lower Delta Road.

Unlike the Silversea, majority or all the living room balconies have a large and friendly roof shade. A practical approach to trying to keep most of the balconies directly exposed to the rainfall - at least.

Part II ===== 1. Further to what I had mentioned, sometimes, it may be easier to determine the sitting position. Especially if there is a distinct hill or slope e.g. behind the property. We could "safely" say that the facing is directly opposite this. 2. In Singapore, especially for the 3 room Housing and Development Board flats (HDB), we often find that we enter the apartment from the front. And it is easy to say that this is often the facing direction or the "mouth-of-the-house". 3. However, nowadays, many apartments are squeezed so tight and clustered in a snake like formation, the main door can nearly be at any direction. 4. For a condo or apartment. It is best to check on one's life-style habit. Does one often leave the main door open? Or close it most of the time? 5. For many who live in a condo, I have seen majority of the residents close the main door (unless they fixed a grille at the main door). Yet, many do close this door. If we do close this door, then, it does not make much sense to say that this is the "mouth-of-the-house". 6. Furthermore, many condos and even new HDB apartments have main doors at "odd" placement. And often, if we have to negotiate a turn into the home from the main door, most likely, this may not be the natural "facing direction". 7. This is similiar to what I had mentioned for a landed property under Para 1, where if the main door is at the side. And if there are other landed properties where this main door faces the side of the neighbour's apartment, most likely this should not be the main door. 8. In fact, I am very sadden by the fact that, some local practitioners try to scare their would be clients not to take up Feng Shui from others who do not take readings from the main door of an apartment. 9. Look at it this way, countries like Singapore and Hong Kong have majority of their residents staying in an apartment (condo or HDB) andFeng Shui for apartments is quite modern. And as mentioned above,the main door can be located at very odd locations and it should not be construde as the main door. 10. I believe, many of such practitioners either live in the stone age ormost likely wear spectacles but if one peers closely at their spectacles, these spectacles have "tunnel vision lens". 11. Therefore, check to see where is most likely the "mouth-of-the-house". And in many of the common approaches are: 11.1 If the home has four sides of windows, try to figure out, firstly which side has more light. The idea of more light is more practical than the amount of wind coming into a home. 11.2 More light would often suggest, that there are more floor area of window or the mouth-of-the house. 11.3 To use the amount of wind blowing into the windows etc.. may not be an exact science, since, high /low pressures within a day can differ. Therefore, wind can blow from any side of the home at any given time. This is particuarly true for an island like Singapore, which is surrounded by water. And it is said that in a high pressure days, air circulate either clock-wise or anti-clockwise for low pressure days. 12. The idea that the higher one's apartment is, we should take the reading from the balcony or the location where most lightcomes in makes more sense also. Many people feel that when our apartment goes as high as 6, 7 or 8th storeys, and if we do see much light coming thru, here, then this should be the mouth-of-the house. 13. However, if one lives in a highrise, and if our views are blocked by an immediate neigbhouring block and if we have the habbit to open the main door (leaving it open most of the time), then, even if at a higher storey, we could then perhaps, use this as the main door. 13.Given, the above examples, one can therefore see that thereis no right or wrong answers. 14. More importantly, if you do check on a practitioner, check to see if the practitioner use the term "IT DEPENDS". If so, the practitioner is most likely a better practitioner - who does not go for only one method. 15. If the practitioner - says that every other method is WRONG! It must be the main door, please steer clear of this "dead-wood", myopic practitioner! Unfortunately, there are many of these in Singapore. It shows how inflexible, such people are. Feng Shui was developed at the time where there were few if any highrise. And, it is very sad to say that many of such schools, feel that only their method is RIGHT and sometimes, these practitioners will quote some famous practitioners dead or alive. Who cares, do remember the fundamentals and we are better off. Warmest Regards, Cecil
