Further to what I had mentioned: 1. It is a common fallacy that many of us seem to think that Feng Shui is a "cure all". 2. What I believe from what you wrote is that you are confused and apprehensive that given your personal experience; you did not get any good results from a previous audit. 3. Again. Try to look at the root of the issue: "Is your home an unpolished gem or a rotten apple?". 3.1. This is the key for better understanding of the realities of LIFE. 4. Attached are previous illustrations. On why some homes even if they are brand new or costs millions may not be good in terms of Fung the Sway aka. Feng Shui.

This is based on pure common sense and scientific:- Your Home: An unpolished gem or a rotten apple? http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Your_Home:_An_unpolished_gem_or_a_rotten_apple%3F Some of the considerations from the above link:- 2. Only after doing a proper Triage can one find out whether a home (or your home) is an unpolished gem or a true rotten apple or somewhere in between. 3. For example; if a home is like an unpolished gem; some enhancements can bring great (good) results. 3.1 Most homes are usually between these two: and after considering the science of Feng Shui; if one (via the Art of Feng Shui) properly enhance + neutralize bad Qi; often one can see good results. 4. However, or unfortunately; some homes are like a 10 year old 1,000cc car. No matter how much enhancements or Elastoplast (fix leaks); does not help. Even if it is brand new. Frankly, everyone seems to think that automatically, after a "proper" Feng Shui audit has been done; a 1,000 cc Suzuki can become a high end luxury car. This is only wishful thinking. And this, I feel explains why, some try to seek the holy grail of a Feng Shui master that can even cure such things. Frankly, even if there is a god; God, cannot do miracle cure. Especially those who subscribe to the Alien theory.

You wrote: "Also, Stack 9 is SW facing. I am an East Group person, Is it ok to sleep with head facing or pointing to northwest as it seems it is most natural to place the bed against the wall pointing to NW in the master br. Northwest is unfavorable dir for East gp people...." These are further considerations:- 1. In theory; for an East group person; of course if it is possible to sleep with the head facing N, S, SE and East would be great. 2. But, unless one tries to built a home from scratch; many more; buy off-the-shelf homes. 3. And often, when most of us step into a bedroom; automatically would visualise; logically where the bed-head (bed) should be placed. 3.1. First priority is based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Which you had mentioned; "NATURAL" thing to do. 4. Always remember: IT IS NICE TO and not a MUST-DO. 4.1. Thus, it is nice to sleep with the head facing one's good sector. BUT IT is not a Must-do. 5. And one of the concept is to "Maximise marks" as mentioned in an earlier message. 5.1. Common sense also says that if husband is west and wife is east group; ain't it pure crazy for the husband to sleep with the wife's legs and vice versa.

You asked: "Any bad implication ? etc..." There is a methodology used by must sciences. For example; even in Feng Shui, you need todo a "Triage" and an overview of the entire situation. You wrote: " I am an East Group person, Is it ok to sleep with head facing or pointing to northwest as it seems it is most natural to place the bed against the wall pointing to NW in the master br. Northwest is unfavorable dir for East gp people...." You already instinctively said it: "most natural to place ......... ". If you are into D.I.Y:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage And also:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marksand many other concepts before someone can make an educated guest. Some homes are like an unpolished gem. While others; need an uphill task to bring up the luck of the home/apartment.

These are some considerations: 1. Please note that what I had written does NOT take into consideration: http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage 2. No two home are the same. And common sense says that : "It depends!" 3. Frankly, there no such thing as an utopian home. Thus most homes must also look at:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks 4. To better understand and make your own opinion on "the direction of the MAIN DOOR"; I suggest you go read the following information:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15673&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=15672&new= http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=32493&new=

In my opinion, one thing the architects forgot was that the ledges in Tree house development can allow birds + birds dropping a-plenty to be deposited onto the ledges above and below each window(s). In a bird-flu world of today, this is mighty careless. Oh, yeah! a client recently purchased an older condo @ Ris Grandeur as he complained to me that he hates his recent condo which has all dry-walls. Guess what... this development's interior walls including toilets are of dry-wall material. Only walls that are solid are those sharing with external or neighbouring unit....

Tree House condo; uses creepers to act as a "heat sink" to mitigate to dissipate heat from the external wall; facing the afternoon sun. As often, this wall shares the master-bedroom wall. A+ marks for this "green" effort!

Singapore was under passive cruise control from 2002 to 2012. What it should have done was to use active cruise control. Thus if the car in-front slows; down; the radar system will also slow down the car driven by driver: Prime Minister. Thus saving the trouble of having the co-driver slap; him

Is Feng Shui based on science or art? Or both? Although, the science of Feng Shui is important. The art of implementation is equally important!

How can my great-grand-father be that STU-PIG!

Previously, during the launch of the Waterview condo project; directors in Sim Lian Group had declared their purchase of a unit or units at Waterview. And for your info, this list shows which stacks that they had purchased during the launch.

More resources on; Waterview condo:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=43&mid=28702 Please note that The Tropica which T.O.P. in 2001 is already "an aging" 99 year leasehold condo i.e. 12 years old. By the time most people stay another 5years to 10 years; it should be 17 years and 22 years old respectively. Other resources in this forum also shows several of Sim Lian directors had purchased units in Waterview. Whether for stay or rental; we do not fully know of it.

Time flies. I though I got my keys to a 99 year old house, yesterday! But I think I have already stayed there for more than 10 years! Note: In my opinion, this applies to SGP properties especially HDB, condo, EC condo, private apartments that costs $1M to $1.2M and above. If it is just a $400K or even $800K, property... what the heck; have to live-with-it. Or wait for one fine day, perhaps a utopian situation where a future govt. will up the lease-period or add 99 years, more to eligible citizens for free or pay a nominal fee?

If one walks pastthe junction between Upper Serangoon Road and Tampines Road (Kovan Residences) one can view a poultry seller selling a chicken (cock) to a lady. There are also a geese and a duck at the corner. Kovan Residences happens to be the site of the Simon Road Market in the 1943's.

These are some considerations: 1. Common sense 1.1. It is not like the property sits on an island and exposed to the elements. 1.2. Another common sense is that generally if a property is on or at the fringe of "water"; the property and it's surrounding grounds would be damp. And if no proper treatment of the ground; is a hive of a breeding area for termites. 2. Otherwise, if you have the time; please read up on The Tropica and also The Waterview condo which is expected to TOP perhaps around 5 months time:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=6&mid=30895&new= 2.1 Specifically on the Dragon water gate formation:- http://forum.geomancy.net/review/tropica/index.htm

1. Frankly, I have nothing against PR's or foreigners; 2. End of last year; I exit out of my remaing 99year (12 plus year condo unit); a PR couple bought the unit @Seletar Springs). As their 5year old (bought new direct from govt.) was eligible to be sold. 2.1 I know this clesrly as the couple lived in the Fenvale HDB estate behind my condo. 3. A taxi driver did not believe me when I told him so; his understanding is that PRs must buy on the second-hand market. 3.1 Foreigners and although I was happy that I sold mine unit to a PR; pent up the demand for the temp. Short supply. For the world's highest paid; I feel that this is unacceptable. 4. Last year or earlier; I posted a sign signage that says something like: "Foreigner got special approval to purchase landed. HP: ". 5. I feel that it is the govt. On auto-pilot for the last 12 years + the head + all ministers forgot to match the increase in population with the infrastructure. For property; the key ingredient was Ex-minister Mah BT.

These are some considerations: 1. If the development was built before the MRT; then if somehow; due to soil settlement; buildings + foundations start to crack. This is the chief (common sense) reason why some say no good Feng Shui. 2. If the site/ development was built inconjuction or after the MRT has been built = excellent! 2.1 As our MRT stations are one of the deepest and heavily fortified and act as bomb shelters. 2.3 Thus, look at it this way; if we have a war; I would prefer an MRT shelter next to my home; better than my unit's own bomb shelter. Any bunker busting bomb can still penetrate my #07-xx unit; 2.4 Kovan Residences used to the the site of Simon Market. I will elaborate (another time) on a market that was once located at/outside Katong Mall: now I12. 3. I truly empathise with you; during this period when the govt.

1. Further to what I had mentioned; this is the template for what I had mentioned, previously in an earlier e-mail. 2. Comparing the sectors:- 2.1. For example from now to 2023 (Period 8); if the frontage is at North and a bedroom is located at e.g. East; 2.2. While from 2024 onwards to 2043b(Period 9); we find that the wealth stars had gone to South = toilet and there is a missing corner at SE; then when comparing the periods; From now to 2023, seems more auspicious then Period 9. 3. Thus logic says that one needs to compare the stars with sectors for either period to see which is considered better or worse-off or even no-change?

Oops! Sorry, this is still 2013 - 2014 duration. If so, my "THRESOLD" model is considered unreasonable AT THIS TIME! Apologies; the attachment should reflect the current sentiments.....

These are some considerations: 1. Unfortunately in reality; what you mentioned is true. 3 + years ago; bigger brand new 99year old condo units can go for 800K or 900K. 2. Thus, today, when the supply has not caught up; be prepared to pay even 1.5M for a new 99 year old leasehold apartment. 3. Frankly majority would prefer to buy brand-new. Even for freehold apartments. 4. If you have no choice from 2013 to early 2015; can understand, you may have to adjust your personal THRESHOLD. Given that you have a size constraint. 5. Thus, in real life; after 2015; when the glut especially more and more supply + TOP; then I feel the threshold of $1.2M is achievable. 6. For practical reasons; the current insurance is at least a 99 leasehold (close to or next to) an MRT is better than one that is no where near one. 7. For example, one of my old client; wanted a bigger flat. They sold their freehold condo in River valley road. And the criteria is to get a bigger flat. 7.1. As originally, wife can't conceive. And by coincidence; after the Feng Shui; just gave birth to a baby boy. Went with them to view several flats. We had a chat and fortunately, they nearly wanted to buy a penthouse for >1.2m at Parkview EC; Sengkang. 7.2. They instead finally bought a 99year at Kovan Residence. (quite new as TOP pretty recent). 7.3. Although 99 years but just a few metres away from Kovan Residence. 8. Thus, given that they had similar constraints "bigger" flat; at least their trump card is still a home that is "next" to an MRT. Compared to the Parkview EC. In rental or resale; which will be a better insurance?

These are some considerations: 1. In period 7; usually if Flying Stars are applied; you should be looking for the location of the following numbers: Mountain Star (MS)#7 and Water(W)#7. As at that period : 1984 to 2003; the reigning wealth star is = #7. 2. In period 8; using the same Period 7, SW1 chart; 2.1. #7 becomes the past prosperity number. 2.2. #8 becomes the CURRENT prosperity wealth star. 2.3. Thus there will still be no change in the flying star chart. But locate where the MS#8 is at and the W#8 also. 2.4. For example, in period 8, theWater star#8 is located at North and the Mountain Star #8 is at East sector. 3. In period 9; especially if the house is not completely torn down or major renovations done; one should still use Period 7, SW1 chart. 3. But since this will be period 9; then locate where are the Water#9 and MS#9. As in Period 9; #9 becomes the current prosperity star(s) while #8 becomes the PAST prosperity stars. 4. Your sum of fear is realised! In fact, in Period 9 and if we still retain the Period 7 SW1 chart; the MS#9 flies to the SE and Water #9 files to the South. These two sectors will have auspicious "Current" prosperity stars. 5. Thus, based on THE FACTS; most likely your friend's master MAY be pulling a fast one on your friend. 6. A Period 7, SW1 facing home will have MS#7 and Water#7 at it's frontage, thus as I had mentioned previously #7, today : is the PAST prosperity star(s). 7. BUT if you are using Period 8, SW1 stars then you will find the Water star = #8. While the Mountain Star (MS) = #8. Thus, if there is visible frontage at the frontage of such a house and there is sufficient back(ing) at the home; then in theory; this is a good house. 8. Thus, frankly, I have clearly illustrated, above that there is nothing difficult about applying Flying Star. And the fact speaks for itself. 9. To sum up: if the house has no major renovations done or torn and rebuilt usually it is still a Period 7 e.g. SW1 home. 9.1. Only thing to remember that if this is 1984 to 2003; then locate theLeft (MS) and Right (Water) stars = 7 = CURRENT prosperity during that period. 9.2. Correspondingly, if this is 2004 to 2023 (under Period 8); then locate where are the #8's ? 9.3. If this is 2024 to 2043 (under Period 9) then locate where are the #8's; that's all. 10. From this logic; I am afraid; if purely based on Flying stars; your friend's master has just pulled a fast one on him! Your some of concerns are realised... Lots of smoke coming from that master's ears for sure!

Attached is a chart showing my personal threshold for purchase of a home in Singapore: 1. I don't mind paying $1m to $1.2m for a 99year leasehold especially if it has certain advantages e.g. short distance to an MRT station (not LRT). Or within 1KM to a good school. 2. I will not consider anything above $1.2m for 99year leaseholds; in my opinion and not as mentioned under Para 1. 3. 999 years come under the above consideration. In Singapore, most if not all 999 year homes as if I am not mistaken they have only around 7xx+ years left.

In the government master plan; there seems to be a new MRT station on the existing North-South line. In the master plan; it shows "Canberra MRT station". If so, in the future (perhaps) it would be good news for the aged Yishun Emerald condo; the newly under construction Eight Courtyards; One Canberra and near-by Yishun flats. As the people; there may perhaps one fine day; do not need to take a feeder service to the Yishun MRT station.
