  1. 1. In my opinion; other than the colour and colour-tones in your illustration; 2. No. THREE would have the least "adverse" comments. 3. As I had mentioned previously, often in many situations; it has more to do with people's taste and how much adverse comments (if any). 4. Technically, no. will often not have any adverse comments. 5. The most subjective would therefore be no. ONE. 6. Again, there is no right or wrong answers, here.
  2. 1. In my opinion, this whole arena is considered under symbolism in Feng Shui. 2. For example, drawing a parallel; the first time that is considered a NO-NO is for a marriage couple; it is considered inauspicious to join two single beds to form a sort of queen-sized bed. 2.1. The two single beds symbolise more of a "split" or "divorce" sort of way. And imagine if the twin beds are on rollers; and if both partners were to do some vigourous activity on the bed; and if the middle put of the bed i.e. the two beds "split up". 3. It is the same concept as not having two equal mirrors facing a dining table as it will "split" the image into two (where there is a line across the middle). 4. Thus where possible or NICE-NOT-TO have a split in the middle of the e.g. queen or king sized bed. 5. As to having some patterns on the bed-head; it is considered as not CRITICAL; but rather, if possible, can avoid; things like a diamond shaped pattern would be nice-to avoid. 6. What you mentioned is very subjective. And what happens if friends or even one's partner makes some comments on it; and if many people start to make comments; some people may end up feeling not too good about having such a design on the bed-head. Not that critical but more towards man-luck factors.
  3. In general, not the best for placing a water position; but if you insists; make sure that it has all the five elements as mentioned in my earlier link: reference URL http://fountain.geomancy.net
  4. These are some considerations: 1. In my opinion; in my life-time; and still today, some who are not too familiar with Feng Shui would asked this question: If I hire you to do my Feng Shui; must I need to do major hacking? 2. Your posting is very similar to the above question. 3. As you had mentioned for practical reasons; a spiral staircase is used in this cabin. 4. Even if one wants to resort to hacking or removing the spiral staircase; a Geomancer would often do further investigations. And cannot assume that all spiral staircases are "bad". 5. In fact, even in my country, there are some homes which do have a spiral staircase. Or staircases. 6. For example, around close to 12 years ago; I Feng Shuied a new client and his penthouse in an Executive Condo at Northoaks, Woodlands; has a spirial staircase that leads up to this master bedroom. 7. In fact, just last year, he has moved to a landed property costing at least 4 million dollars. And his Engineering Company has been thriving all along the past few years. 8. There are other examples of many others I know who has a spirial staircase. And the key is "It depends!" 9. Since this is only an escape on the weekends; this even lessen the concern. 10. In Europe and all over the world; in the past; many think of the Skoda car brand as a car that can fall apart anytime. In recent years; it was taken over by VW and many are as well built "German" qualities. Therefore, it is the same.. cannot just say that automatically a spiral staircase is bad. 11. One of the major reasons, I suspect for saying that spiral stairs is "bad" has more to do with common sense. For example, it would be unfriendly to the elderly, the visually impaired and even some children especially if they just learned to walk etc.. 12. Otherwise, why take such a drastic action; just because you had read that it is NO GOOD? And furthermore, there are no other better PRACTICAL solution(s).
  5. 1. The main concern is that when entering a home, one must not see a flight of steps "flowing down" and flowing-out of the main entrance door. 2. In your rough illustration, this is not the case, thus technically it is fine or ok. But again, some don't feel nice about it. Not a major issue since this place is rented.
  6. 1. The main component relies on Geometric Patterns and Configurations. In Feng Shui, this is simply known as Shapes and Forms. 2. Many individuals, even without prior knowledge of Feng Shui, intuitively determine the ideal placement for their bed in a bedroom. 3. If our intuition conflicts with the technical guidelines but can still be accommodated, it is acceptable. 4. However, if adhering strictly to Feng Shui principles disrupts the natural flow of the bedroom, it is advisable to disregard the recommended bed placement. 5. It is preferable to have the bedroom in a favorable sector and even better to position the bed according to Feng Shui principles. 5.1 These considerations are optional rather than mandatory. 5.2 Ultimately, personal comfort and well-being should take precedence over strict adherence to Feng Shui guidelines.
  7. 1. In order to understand this; in the past, when underground water courses (not sewerage water) but caverns or streams of water flow below a home; this is considered "unhealthy". 2. Thus, some sites choose to build a pagoda; above it. (In directly to tame it or rather from another view point: if there is pagoda there... most likely the dwelling cannot be on the same location. Thus, this pagoda in actual fact is more like a MARKER. For example, close to shore we have those Light-house sort of thing). 3. However, in my opinion, water tap are often closed most of the time and enveloped in a stainless steel or copper piping. Thus, I don't think it would be like what I had mentioned under Para 1 above. 4. In general; as I had mentioned; I would be MORE WORRIED if it is direclty sharing the same wall as the WC. 5. Frankly, there are no doctoral thesis written on this subject; so your guess is as good as MUAR (mine).
  8. I have seen old houses and apartments where directly opposite the wc wall; the wall is peeling and like soaking in moisture and the plaster is "swollen". Through lateral thinking; maybe or whether it does or does not help: one could just give a try: using "exterior paint" which has better moisture retention properties than regular interior wall paints. Not sure whether this does help or not...
  9. As mentioned previously, the MAIN issue lies with: "Does the WC cum sewerage pipe share the same wall?" Furthermore, if the bed is as shown in the attached illustration; this is considered inauspicous. Did you see specks of red "vapours" in the illustration. This is a graphic illustration to show that hopefully, the sewerage pipe does not leak out minute traces of .. you know what! Again, if the bed-head shares the same wall as the bath tub etc.. in my opinion; this is not as bad as above.
  10. 1. Please see attached, illustration. 2. Do take note that it is not always the case that the bed-head sharing the same wall with the toilet is an issue. 3. It is often an issue; if there are sewerage pipe(s) that share the same wall as the bed-head.
  11. 1. Most of us assume that when the topic of water is mentioned, it really has to be real water 2. One must understand the real "meat" or "juice" behind the concept of water. 3. When we have a water position, it often means that nothing can be built above e.g. A pool or pond = flat space. 4. Thus if this is a condo unit and one's unit is directly facing the pool, this implies clear space. It is like space even for a bird to fly freely in this space. 5. Thus this space is also known as VIRTUAL water. 6. If one has a garden, and if one has a pond or water feature most likely there is clear space within the pool. 6.1 Contrast this with some older homes in Singapore especially in the 1970's where mango trees were planted. 6.2 Here in 10 years time this tree would often cast a shadow and for homes that have a smaller garden, the frontage of the home would be dim and it no longer enjoys a bright hall or clear space effect. 7. Thus for this reason, ain't it better to have a water position irregardless of whether the flying star numbers are good or not. As the key element is based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. 8. Under Fluing Star Feng Shui, a water position is often used as an enhancer especially there are good or excellent water stars like #8 and even #1. 9. Sometimes it is also used to help neutralize a bad sector. 10. In your case, although the water star is the auspicious future prosperity star #9; however in the current period #8, this is still a fire element. It would be considered very auspicious if a water position is placed there on or after 2024 onwards, but today, not so unless it is better than para 6.2. 11. Another consideration is the #3 and #4. #3 being bad wood, and a water feature may accidentally inflame it. 12. Otherwise still possible for a water position given the stars with that sector; provided a water feature that consists of all five events in it.

  12. 1. Feng Shui is a holistic approach and depends on two major concepts:- 1.1 Shapes and Forms Feng Shui 1.2 Compass School Feng Shui 2. In my opinion, you have barely scratched the surface; as you have just looked only at the Eight house concept which is by itself is not complete as this theory and concept belongs to one-half of the Compass School Feng Shui. 3. It is akin to someone visiting a general practitioner and the practitioner felt that the patient's breast has a lump. 4. I am sure the doctor would not automatically jump to the wrong conclusion. 5. I am also sure that the doctor would require this patient to further tests. 6. It is the same as what you had mentioned. 7. It depends! On the results of FURTHER tests or scan(s). 8. If it is found to be true, then :- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks
  13. .......
  14. In my opinon, between white or "gold"; white would be a better alternative. As often some may mistaken gold for "yellow" colour especially for the walls. As the are nasty M5 (Bad StrongYellow) with M2 (also Bad Weak Yellow). And most of the time, even gold or shiny coloured curtains may also look yellowish. This we do not want to have in such a bedroom. Furthermore, if we add warm white lights. Thus, this bedroom should best use "cool day" type of lights. Based on the five elements concept; especially for a young baby or child; often their toys or materials e.g. bed sheets have cartoon type of characters. Thus, if there are a range of colours; then even if we include bright yellow ain't too bad. For example, many babies or children's items have say green, yellow, (blue or black) and red. If all the three major primary colours such as Green / Red / Blue (Black) and some also consider yellow as one of the primary colours are present then; no worries, you have all (or nearly) all of the five elements. This is the best bet for such a bedroom.
  15. Thanks to the vision of the late Steve Jobs; For on-site consultations; many of the presentations are now on ipad and this results in less printed copies of reports. Clients also benefit from reports burned-into a CD-ROM. We were once guilty of cutting down so many trees. The tide has turned for the better!
  16. 1. Leaving old bed frame: has been done before 2. 2walls: really your call. If one applies Compass school; then it is a different story altogether as one can analyze which of the two is better and who sleeps; where. Under the current situation; you may have to go with personal feel.
  17. In my opinion, this is not recommended. However, it is still allowable for a roof above the altar; much like an enclosed cabinet for practical reasons: to try and contain some of the "stains" from lighting up the joss sticks.
  18. Altar Dimensions (Height, Width & Length) Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm. Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm. Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm
  19. 1. In my opinion; there are varying degrees of approaching this situation. 2. The degree of approach has more to do with how liberal or how extreme one wants to approach this situation. 3. In my opinion, there are many situations where if you are not involved in the move, there were instances that existing bed frames and bed were moved to the new location. here, the only condition that you must not be present when they dismantle or fix it up. In addition avoid returning to the existing home / room to "discover" or view the bedroom; after it had been moved. 4. once fixed up and placed at the new location, avoid moving it again. 5. Based on what you mentioned, the approach you mentioned is more "detailed". There are some who still does this. 6. Thus the liberal or more detailed approach has been done before, in my opinion, is up to you and family to decide. 7. It boils down to you and your family's comfort level as there are no fixed templates to choose from.
  20. 1. In my opinion, overall, this can be called an in-exact science (or rather art). 2. This is because of time-dimensions of the Flying Star Feng Shui. 3. Based on the concept of averages; even if one placed a mirror at the so called auspicious sector and or reflecting or bounce back whatever; over time (the longer the time) thegreater it averages out. 4. Under Flying Star, there is the 20 Year average chart, there is the Yearly chart, there is the universe where the month, the day and even the hour influence. 5. Thus, even if it is located at a good sector, somehow, it will "move" from auspicious to inauspicious sector: then how? You mean you will have to cover the mirror. And how to implement this? especially where every hour or minute or seconds; the sector can range from: the good, the bad and the ugly? 6. At the end of it: install because you tend to feel you like having one; rather than install because of Fung Sway! 7. Especially for condominum units in Singapore, often an Interior Designer would strongly recommend one to the owner. Perhaps; in my opinion; there may be a hidden agenda to this: especially if the unit is brand new; everything has been provided for: flooring done, kitchen cabinets done, wardrope done.. so the interior designer would often recommend things like false ceiling, mirror(s) for the dining area, partition etc.... 8. From a Feng Shui point of view, the longer the duration, the greaterthe it averages out would apply.
  21. Please see attached illustration of the "raised letterings" under symbolism in Feng Shui.
  22. Under symbolism in Feng Shui; one may place raised letterings on y The main door or gate pillar. For example: 5 5
  23. In my opinion, it is harder to visualize your situation; just from lots of text info. I guess since you have some positive results from placing the bogus mirror; then continue with placing it and monitor your situation.
  24. In my opinion, the most common colour for a home ceiling is white. There are also trends: for example; around ten years ago; many new developments especially condominium units use barley white for both the interior walls and even the ceilings. There are homes that uses wooden beams and planks especially, those per-war homes in Singapore. Since these are natural wood; they are often brown or wood tone colour. So far hardly ever come across ceiling in grey especially for homes. Some business establishment does use such colours. The adage is if not sure; don't use it applies.
  25. Hey! What is this sign doing at a common bin in a Public Housing Board Flat? You must have used the wrong signage! This is not a hospital or some bio facility, PLEASE!
