Waterfront @ Faber by World Class Land Pte Ltd - Which units are lucky today?
Waterfront @ Faber by World Class Land Pte Ltd Blocks 40 & 42: either facing N3 or S3 Under Flying stars; there is a difference between a N3 facing vs a S3 facing chart. Here, under N3 facing; the combined auspicious wealth stars are wasted at the rear of the home. Here, "rear" often means wasted at the kitchen / yard area in stead of at the frontage like that of an S3 chart. N3 and S3 stacks are the best stacks for a East group person. As both frontage enjoys the double auspicious #8 wealth stars. And furthermore their facing directions has water. Bring great wealth. The only concern for a S3 facing chart is that so often, the kitchen may be located at NW sector. Which in Feng Shui is called: "Fire at Heaven's Gate". And this can affect the male breadwinner's career luck. Thus for a South facing (S3) best to select a unit where the kitchen is either at North or North-east sector is preferred.

iNz Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang / Tengah by Qingjian Realty - Which units are still lucky today?
Part 1: Resources - inZ Residence EC @ Choa Chu Kang / Tengah is another new project to be launched early this year. 1. This 99 year leasehold development consisting of 490 units will have nine blocks of up to 15 to 16 storeys high. 2. The most distinctive feature of this development are the generous Reinforced Concrete or RC ledges:- 3. The RC ledges not only gives this development a distinct external outline but follows the 1950's art-deco era of form and function. 4. The function is that it allows each individual unit to have as many windows or openings partially or even fully opened without unduly concerned with the elements such as wind and rain. 5. Allow each home to be airy. That is of course if one does not turn on the air-con 24/7 all the time!

The Clementi Canopy Condo by UOL - Which units are still lucky?
The Clementi Canopy Condo by UOL Basic Facts - Type: Private condominium - Location: Clementi Avenue 1, District 5, Singapore - Tenure: 99-year leasehold - TOP (completion): Around 2019 - Developer: UOL Group & United Industrial Corporation (UIC / SingLand) - Units: About 505 units in two 40-storey towers - Unit types: Mostly 2‑, 3‑ and 4‑bedroom apartments (no 1-bedders) Notable Points - Construction innovation: - One of the tallest concrete PPVC (Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction) residential projects in the world at the time of completion. - Built with modular pre-fabricated units, which increased construction speed and consistency and reduced on-site noise and waste. - Design & environment: - Strong focus on a “canopy”/resort feel: extensive greenery, tree-lined landscaping, and pool-centric common areas. - Facilities typically include multiple pools, gym, BBQ pavilions, function rooms, and children’s play areas. Location & Surroundings - Transport: - Near Clementi MRT (East–West Line) and Clementi bus interchange (not right next door, but a short bus ride or a longer walk). - Good access to AYE (Ayer Rajah Expressway). - Schools & education belt: In a popular education cluster with: - Nan Hua High School - NUS (National University of Singapore) - NUS High School - Singapore Polytechnic - Pei Tong Primary and several other schools within a short radius This gives it fairly strong appeal for families and for rental to students/academic staff. - Amenities: - Close to Clementi Mall, 321 Clementi, neighbourhood shops, markets, and eateries. - Short drive to One-North, Biopolis/Fusionopolis, and to West Coast / Pasir Panjang business areas, so it’s convenient for professionals working there. Property / Market Angle (high level) - Positioned as a mid–upper mass-market condo in a mature town with strong school demand. - Demand tends to be supported by: - Proximity to schools and NUS - West-side employment nodes (One-North, Science Park, NUH, NUS) +++ The initial compass readings based on the Sale Brochure of The Clementi Canopy shows that this developments stacks either face NE1 (23 degrees) or SW1 (203 degrees). The main concern is that just 0.5 of a degrees or more and the facing changes to either N3 (e.g. 22.4 degrees) or S3 (e.g. 202.4 degrees) facing. The next few reviews, I will try to counter check it with streetdirectory.com. As the outlines are not up yet; but at least see if the sales brochure is "in the right direction".

Is the Sales Brochure Useful for Feng Shui? Reading between the lines of the Sales Brochure
Case Study 4: Roof lines of Club-house or pavillions and Sha Qi or Poison arrows if aimed towards a unit's opening such as a balcony opening or window(s) 1. For ground floor or lower floors; check the roof-lines of club-house; gazebos etc for poison arrows aimed towards the unit. 2. Especially if it is aimed towards the balcony as this is the hardest to cure. As it is not like one wants to install an external blinds and draw them fully down 24/7. 3. If these "spikes@ are aimed towards a window: "if it cannot be seen or (nearly cannot be seen) no longer becomes a threat, applies". For eg. Day curtains is good enough. 3.1. Location: The Peak @ Balmeg 4. These two photos, below are from Riverbank @ Fernvale. Do be careful of innocent looking pavilion roof lines and club-house roofings that may or may not "slice" towards a unit's opening such as a balcony or window opening 5.

Feng Shui is not a "cure all" or everything has to do with it. Your question has more to do with opinions. And for such a question, there is no end to the number of such opinions.

Feng Shui and conservatories
It depends. In my opinion, since this is a non-living quarters but a conservatory; it makes sense not to include this. The key Essence of Preparing a pie-chart or template is about finding the center-of-gravity of the living quarters.

Smart fishes have temporarily migrated to the Indian Ocean
Yusheng or "yee sang" is especially popular as every restaurant will want to serve this side-dish during the 15 days of the Chinese Lunar New Year. At the half-way mark of CNY i.e. 7th day of CNY; many are advised to consume this on that day. Perhaps, due to commercialisation of some sort or other... (Hey! What is Christmas without a Christmas tree and gift exchange? or dinner for two on Valentines day!) Smart fishes have temporarily migrated to Oceans that are furthest away from costal areas where there are a large Chinese population especially Pacific Ocean and South China Sea.. Better chance of staying alive in the Indian and Altantic Ocean...

HDB Anchorvale Plains @ Sengkang - Which units are lucky?
Anchorvale Plains Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans: anchorvale-plains.pdf Lease Commencement in Year 2020 1. HDB Anchorvale Plains @ Sengkang and Flying Star Feng Shui 2. The NE1-facing stacks feature the auspicious water wealth #8 star at the front. Notably, stacks 41 and 43 have unobstructed views of the Punggol Reservoir, with stack 41 offering a particularly clear view. 2.1 Units with water at the front, especially on the balcony side, can benefit from favorable Feng Shui. 2.2 Stacks 33 and 35 with NE1 facing provide a more indirect view of the Punggol Reservoir, situated to the left past Sengkang East Way. 2.3 In such scenarios, the sum-of-ten can be activated, enhancing health, wealth, and family luck. 2.4 For units like stacks 01 and 03 that do not face a water position, placing a water feature on the balcony is advisable to boost luck. 2.5 However, other sectors in these homes may contain unfavorable stars, which should be neutralized or remedied. 3. NW3, particularly stacks 53 and 55, also benefits from having the auspicious water wealth #8 star at its front. 3.1 The main drawback for stack 53 is that the master bedroom wall is exposed to the afternoon sun. 3.2 Additionally, both stacks are affected by indirect, slanted afternoon sun rays throughout the year. 3.3 NW3 stacks 29, 31, and 39 are favorable if the living room faces a body of water. 3.4 If not, adding a water feature on the balcony can help activate the positive energy. 3.5 Beyond this, other sectors of the home may experience imbalances. 3.6 If the master bedroom or any bedroom is located in the West sector of the home, there may be a higher risk of frequent illnesses. 4. SE1-facing stacks 37 and 45 perform best when there is a water feature at the front. Achieving this results in a double benefit, as SW1 also gains from the auspicious 10 combinations in Flying Star Feng Shui. 5. SE3 stacks 25, 27, 47, 49, and 51 have the water wealth star at the front. 5.1 It is advantageous if the unit faces a pool of water. 5.2 Alternatively, this can be enhanced by adding a water feature on the living room balcony. 5.3 The remaining stars in other sectors may be inauspicious and may need to be neutralized. 5.4 It is beneficial if the rear of the home is well supported.
