These are some considerations: 1. General comments. For 232 and 234, just be careful of the school's roof line "slicing into one of the levels". 2. 292D is the precinct pavilion. Although it is strategically placed; but many surrounding (lower floor) stacks could see into the pavilion. Of course,funeral wakes are hopefullynot often. 3. But hopefully during auspicious occasions;a visitor to oneof thelower units at e.g. stack 520 can clearly see into the pavilion. Can'tcontrol suchan event.

Frankly if you are into pure DIY; you really have to make an uphill task to learn more. The major topics that I had mentioned in one of the illustrations : "A practical approach to Feng Shui today" has clues on the types of Schools and Headings. As Rome is not built in a day; so is DIY. For those who are for eg. too impatient to DIY; may consider other routes e.g. get expert help etc...... this is pure common sense. For example; this is similar to other disciplines. If you have a modern car. Would you go to the trouble to doing your own servicing? If yes, then you may have to read up to gain knowledge before you can do your own servicing. OR? Bring it to a workshop which have the necessary skills or tools to do so. There is no short-cut if you want to DIY. And there is no way nor one can get spoon-fed all the time.

Please see illustration on where are you now? OK, you have determined the centrepoint. And located all the compass bearings and plotted them on your apartment chart. If you intend to apply Kindergarten type of Feng Shui. [STOP.] End of story. However, today's Feng Shui is not like the Fung Sway of yester-years. RED DOT shows "YOU ARE HERE". Just scratching the surface: Eight House mansion; Flying Stars + Ba Zi. And most important ingredient: interpretation and application of all the combined fields together.

These are some considerations: 1. North = water, South = fire etc.... Is based on kindergarten type of Feng Shui. 1.1. In many past forum messages; if you were told or adviced by a geomancer in the 1970's to 1980's; you would be none the wiser; and think very highly of that geomancer. 1.2. Unfortunately; if you were to apply Para 1; today, it is like stone-aged or kindergarten Fung Sway. 2. In the attached sample illustration: please see sample: Page 3. Showing three persons: Male, Female and son. And in the illustration; often in areas of their master bedroom or general home areas; best colours for the couple COULD be applied subject to after ploting the flying stars. 3. Sometimes, even if their combined colours are favourable; one final clue is to match this with the flying stars of say their bedroom. And from, here determine the best colours. 4. Thus, if you are into Para 1; my advice is might as well flip a coin to determine the colours. 5. In my opinion, what you mentioned, here is just scratching the surface. You have not even climbed say Mount Faber, yet. After you climb Mount faber; then consider climbing Bukit Timah Hill; then The North Face of Himalayas..

"Sorry, need to ask another question again. As I am curious of the facing direction because what I want to get the particular unit is all windows at living hall and 3 rooms windows are facing the(hidden - a specific)country club golf course and I assume this area should be better for the house facing in-front rather than behind where there is no support? Correct me if I am wrong. Thanks and regards,A" Another way of looking is: "Just imagine if the apartment is a landed property. You would drive UP to the frontage right? And the frontage should be where you had described." "Who would drive to the "back-side" of the home or apartment." Furthermore, you have deduced it based on? Common sense. And common sense prevails over whatever may be written. In general, statements written are not cast in stone............

Someone posted this enquiry:- " Thanks for your kind help. May I also know like all my living hall and 3 bedrooms windows are all facing the same directions South, does that mean the house of the facing are towards south and my back support will be North? Thanks and regards, A...... " Dear A, 1. It depends. Usually, if you may not often leave the main door open (when at home) or when you approach a home and the area around the main door is dim; then most likely, the FACING direction in this example is "South" and not "North (assuming main door is here). 2. Safest is if not sure at the moment; stand inside the living room looking out of the windows or balcony area. 3. What is most important fundamentally; here is that why we determine the facing direction is chiefly for the purpose of calculating the Flying Star of a home. And this is the root of it all. 4. As mentioned in my link; a main door can join each stack to whatever the architect wants all stacks to be "glued" together. 5. Anyway, if the house is a North - South or South - North it still is considered better or best for an East group person.

1. You can use the Search feature on the TOP-left frame of this forum and simply type things like " auspicious number of steps" 2. And you should easily find resources within this forum. There are many links, such as this one, below:- The secrets of Authentic `steps counting - Feng Shui at Geomancy.Net 11 Dec 2002 ... Following this method, one should be able to work out the number of steps:- 3.2 Auspicious steps are:- 1, 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 11, 13, 14, 16, 17, 19,... forum.geomancy.net/resources/forum-archive/12354.htm

It is good that you use the "cut-out" method- From the centrepoint; yes, you should use the pie chart and add in the compass markings.

These are some considerations: 1. Attached shows a quick glance "eye-ball" method to determine the centre-of-gravity of your home. (As mentioned, it is a quick determination. Can it be further fine-tuned? Yes - further reviewed or see Para 1.1. below.) 1.1. For your layout; it is STRONGLY suggested to photo-copy a proper layout, glue it onto a cardboard and cut-out an outline of the actual unit. And then try to balance it on a pin to find the centre of gravity. (If so; because you have a large protrusion in yellow; it may differ vastly from what I mentioned under Para 1, above). You can use this findings instead of Para 1. 1.2. Best to use (preferred choice)the PIE chart method - instead of the grid system for such layouts. 2. In my opinion; the facing direction of your home has three possibilities:- a. Standing at A looking out towards B to take a reading OR b. C to D OR c. E to F 3. In general, if your main door is generally "dim" and "dark" during natural lighting; then most likely your facing direction is not standing at C looking out towards D. But if you constantly open your main door; then may have to consider further as it may still be the frontage... 4. In my opinion, the most likely frontage is standing at A looking out towards B. Less likely from E to F. Why? as there are more openings at this direction (light entering) even if you don't always open as many windows at the A to B direction. 5. Unfortunately, this is still an in-exact science or rather an ART and may get differing opinions even amongst geomancers.

In my opinion; placing a curtain has more to do with common sense then Feng Shui. For example; sometimes a curtain may sway or move. And may be caught in one's feet etc.. and pose a safety hazard. If the curtain have beads; and if the beads break-loose; may also pose a hazard as stepping on the beads may lead to a fall.

Often for #3, use fire element or a red lamp can disarm it.

Time to flee the property market The winds of change are always blowing. This time it has come to take the foreign property speculators away. The sharp rise in property prices over the last ten years was contributed mainly by two factors. One, a stubborn and foolish decision not to build, and two, an even more stubborn decision to let more foreigners in to buy up whatever properties that were left. It was thought to be a good thing, at least for those hoarding a lot of properties, other than the developers. Some smell self interests. After 7 measures to cool the market and with the last one raising the cost of foreign speculators, it is starting to bite. Boon Wan had disclosed in Parliament yesterday that foreign interest in local properties had cooled. From 1,400 units sold per quarter, it had fallen to 330 units per quarter. The foreigners are starting to flee the property market. The other factor of not building has also been reversed with a projection of an over supply situation in the next few years after the ramping exercise. The factors contributing to the rise have been reversed. The fall in property prices is only a matter of time and how much will it fall. The other question is how much will the govt allow it to fall and at what level will it be sustainable or ?affordable? with a new definition? Should the buyers of properties start to hold back or start to sell before the impending fall? The dumb explanation that it is all market forces is falling flat on its face. It is all about good governance and about bad governance, about managing for inflation and about managing for sustainability. Where would the property market head to? What would be the new explanation of a rising or falling property market? Chua Chin Leng aka redbean * The writer blogs at http://mysingaporenews.blogspot.com.

Further to what I had mentioned; It is not like one (should/could) tattoo a mole and call it a MOLE. Like I previously mentioned; a mole is a "growth" and gets - blood supply to it. One cannot simply just rub our body and roll "black matter" and stick it permanently on our body; much like those cosmetic fake moles. If one were also to buy or transplant a mole from someone else; one may permantly have to take those "anti-rejection" pills for "life". It can also reduce a person's immunity level.

1. It is good that the storm drain is fully covered; this is a plus point. 2. If u can draw a sketch of the plots + outline of your home in relation to the front door: so that one can have a better understanding. 3. The frontage may or may not be "west". Could be? 4. In my opinion; usually if one face problems (if any) is due most likely to have 3 or more MAJOR "leaks". 5. Thus there are some (East group) who still can stay in a "west" home without any issues.

1. There are some who seek help to remove their mole. 2. The reason for their removal can range from (personal- psycological) needs; as some felt that certain moles may not look nice on themselves. 3. Thus the most common are those that seek help to remove mole(s) especially larger (bulging) ones from their face. 4. There is no empirical study by anyone to say that it is beneficial or not other than at least one may "feel good" factor after removing them (if any). Since there is no real study to say for sure: so your guess is good as anyone's else. 5. As mentioned previously, especially those moles that are bulging often also may grow hair; and these can be considered as some kind of "tumor" beign or not; thus cannot simply be transplanted. As blood still flows to them. Thus one traditional method was to use one's own hair and tie a knot to "suffocate" it until it simply drops off.

The premise is that the mole is no longer there; there in no longer any significance. Don't try this yourself. Some moles can easily be removed; by plucking one's own (head) hair and then tie the mole in a knot. And often after a few days; the mole will fall-off by itself. And later on leaves littke or no marks (scars) at all.

Usually, tables are "reserved" with relatively cheap packet of tissue paper ( 20 cents). But sometimes, especially on potential rainy days; another useful tool? Umbrellas of course!

1. Please see the two photos. 2. In the two photos; one can see that the area in-front of the entrance is generally bright. 3. Thus, if say the owners frequently opens the main entrance door and often, it is airy and (windy). There is a possibility or rather, higher chance of saying that maybe; one could consider the main door as the frontage, here. 4. Contrast this with the earlier photos in the first posting; where the area outside the maindoor is dim and dark even during the daylight hours.
