Ecopolitan EC is an executive condominium developed by property developer Qing Jian Realty.(Punggol Way) Pte Ltd. Ecopolitan EC comprises a total of 8 blocks, each 16 storeys high and a two level basement car park. All stacks either face Flying Star N3 or S3. This development is more suited to "East group" persons since there are no stacks that face "West". One good thing about this development is that all the 8 blocks are "Point blocks" (other than block 126 and 128 that partially "stick" together). Such "Point block" are advantages with good all round qi flow. And some blocks especially 124 and 130 and even 132 have wide open spaces. An additional plus point. However, most South facing apartments (high floors) will be affected by the slant of the afternoon sun at their frontage areas. And some stacks have afternoon sun that soaks into the master bedroom walls especially #11, #13, #16, #17, #18 & #21. Stacks: 21, 24, 25, 28 and 29 face the busy Tampines Expressway and will be affected by road noise.

The underground car-park at Raffles Place. Today, many HDB car parks share this same idea of the 1960's. The upper level is a well landscaped garden. Change Alley a popular go to shopping alley in the 1960’s.

VVIP treatment makes one feel like a King. The rest? Dogs and cats!

Let me introduce you to the wonderful boss of the Feng Shui Emporium. He is like a Casino Banker. And once you step into his premises, you are HIS!

Delay in informing residents near-by of a leak... This comes under Common Sense (Feng Shui)

The Feng Shui Emporium will want you to believe that everything they sell is "IN THE NAME" of Feng Shui.

Yes, is it possible to quickly learn Feng Shui? If so, what is the best method to do so? Should I purchase quick Feng Shui guides or books?

Yes, we are the five spirits: North, South, East, West & Central

Daughter of Feng Shui emporium says " I CAN"T THINK OF ANY REASON TO BUY PRODUCTS in the name of Fung SWAY!"

A popular saying goes: "If you can't take Mohammed to the mountain, take the mountain to Mohammed " Thus, If someonecan't understand what you want them to understand by seeing something you want them to see, bring what you want them to see to them.

These are some considerations: 1. There are some geomancers, out-there that strictly follow the "text" to the "T". 1.1. In the past, and recorded advice (Compass School)was to stand inside the main entrance looking outwards to take the compass readings. 1.2. Of course, in the past, majority of the homes were purely landed property. And many Chinese homes have a centre court-yard and almost all homes (other than communal homes) have entrances that face the frontage. 1.3. Some die-hard geomancers, till-today; still rely on those 1,000 year old "advice" and even treat them as "god send" or "Feng Shui bible". 1.4. They (these geomancers) will even quote such written documentation of proof. Thus if you have a chanced encounter with one of them; YES, most likely they will swear that your frontage perhaps faces North. 2. Just like Darwin. Feng Shui has also evolved, somewhat. 3. Countries such as Hong Kong started the trend of taking the frontage of buildings and subsequent stacks as the facing direction. 3.1. This is because of the small space of such countries : Hong Kong and Singapore. Where Singapore, has more than 90% living in high rise 3.2. Thus because of this, and the fact that for many high rise buildings; the main door is often considered an "after-thought". The "facing" of the main door of apartments depends on how the architect connects the various units / passageway together. 4. For landed properties such as yours, it is still quite common to find the main door as what you had described: 4.1. If from a Feng Shui point of view; it could be that there could be a lone lamp post that could have sliced through a main door. Thusperhaps for this reason, themain door is tilted or towards a sideetc.. so that there is no way any poison arrow(s) including things like a sharp pointed roof - neighbours homecan be aimed towards "your" main door. 4.2. Other reasons could be that thegarage isalso at the side of the home and a side main door is a practical reason. 4.3. There are otherreasons for the main door at the side or in cold countries, the concept of "double" doors etc.. 5. Even if one is a die-hard fan of traditional Compass School writing;as you had mentioned, the main door faces North. And under the Eight House concept; North or East suits an East group person. More like, "it feels good isn't it? More of a psychological "feel nice"rite?

Technically, based on your simple sketch; this home is sitting West facing East. What is your purpose of determining the frontage. If it is for the purpose of applying the Flying star; then; most likely as it is for now it should be facing East. Unless, you have a wonderful lake or nice area "behind" this house. If so, perhaps: for the purpose of calculating the Flying stars: the facing direction, here could instead be west.

Recently, have received several requests for some of the forum postings on geomancy.net's facebook. As such, will be posting especially light and entertaining caricatures to our facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/geomancy.net In the past, frankly, I had always struggled with what and what not to be posted to facebook. What I understand and figure out is that unlike a proper forum or Wikipedia; facebook is only good at photos and caricatures created at a specific time. And I feel that it is not that efficient for storing forum threads / postings and the least efficient in retrieving such information for future reference. Thus, you will continue to see this forum nor my wiki.geomancy.net out-of-date. Far from it. For now, even blogs are not as efficient as a forum for this purpose, also. Thank you!

Ideally, try not to place Bed-head at the corner of a bedroom.

Please note that this is only a general advice forum and not a full-blown "Someone do it for you - service". You wrote: 1. The facing is not ideal, A1. Location, location, location or rather as I had mentioned in the past : " The forms or Shapes and Forms is the Principal consideration. Thus, even if a facing is not ideal; but if SAY a home has wonderful Shapes and Forms; the "Forms prevail over the STARS" is the clue. A1.1. Therefore one liners " The facing is not ideal" does not stop, there. One has to look further than just this simple statement. You wrote: 2. the kitchen is in the NW corner, see attached floor plan. I plan to renovate the kitchen, but not immidiately. what shall I do during the interim period? once I move the stove and micorwave over to another corner, will that solve the problem? A2. One of the considerations would be : It is "Nice" if the stove's position be suitable to (usually the female of the house unless the male is the home-maker etc...). There are other considerations. You wrote:3. most likely, we will use garage door more offten than main door for every day use. from gararge, we will walk into a mud room (W/D room), and then kitchen. Doors are fcing each other. does that create a problem? please refer to the floor plan A3. What you wrote is like many who have been adviced to something like "tilt" the main door etc. And in Feng Shui; this is considered not permanent. Ultimately the facing direction would still be the same especially if we are trying to apply the Flying Star Feng Shui. A3.1. Thus, it is more like "taking sugar coated pills - whenever one uses says the garage door instead of the main door. This has more to do with psychology - or feel good factor, that's all. You wrote: Q4. there is a big, healthy tree right in front of the house, block a lot of eat light. Not sure what you are trying to imply, here. But if the tree is healthy, that is a plus point. As to whether it is big or block sunlight depends also. If the house face west, then the tree can add some welcoming shade.

Appreciate if you can do a SEARCH (at the TOP left frame of this forum). "As similar type of layout(s) had been discussed previously + the methodology are also similar."

Help! My home belongs to the category "Go to commit suicide, NOW!"

My apartment SUCKS!

Usually, in most developments: there are stacks/units that are very good to average to poor. Thus, like most classes where they are not specifically streamed:the students wouldfall within a bell curve e.g. Top students to average and below average students.

Under symbolism in Feng Shui, often, we see families placing not one, but more than one of these "ingots" at their wealth sector.

This is part and parcel of living next to a petrol station.

Practising Fast Food Feng Shui can be an addiction. This is akin to hoarding. Where, one goes on and on buying lots of products in the name of Feng Shui and place them all over the home.

The infinity knot nowadays is a very common sight. This infinity knot includes the symbol "FU" = Prosperity.

Hope you understand.It is virtually impossible to comment on a few lines of text and two very blur photos. In my opinion, onlythe writer knows what (he/she) is talking about.

I vividly remembered sometime around the 1990's; this lady wrote in to tell me that she had a geomancer who visited her. And sold her lots of products in the name of Feng Shui. She "secretly" purchased the products and more of them from that geomancer. She had mounting debts and lots of roll over credit (credit card payments) due to the purchase. She recounted that she was fearful that her husband would find out and divorce her.
