1. In Feng Shui; there is a controversy with regards to buildings on "Stilts". 2. From a Shapes and Forms perspective: 2.1. Many traditionalist be it Geomancers or old folks tales; many older persons feel very uncomfortable living a home on "stilts". 2.2. This is understandable given that if the structure is weak; the entire block would just collapse onto itself. 2.3. From another perspective; many geomancers would often ask their clients to refrain from buying the "first" unit just above the stilts. For example in this 5 block development; the upper floors start at #3 (level three or the 3rd storey). 3. On the other-hand; The Ritz Carlton Hotel is build on stilts. As the argument set forth by the hotel was that they were advised to do so. So that spirits can just pass thru such an area (stilts).

Actual site plan of Foresque Residences condo. Consists of 5 Blocks each 24 stories high. Orientation: Either True North or True South for all stacks/units.

Recently launched (2011) 99 year lease condo at Petir Road 1. Personally having seen many new developments and their sales brochure throught the years; 2. The newly (this year launched) Foresque Residences Sales Brochure is what caught my attention. 3. Don't get me right or wrong.. I am saying that condo is excellent; but rather; the most striking thing that caught my eye within the pages of the SALES brochure is two drawings or illustrations. 4. These two pieces (see attachment) are pieces or "work of art" that only Shapes and Forms persons truly admire. 5. Even if it is in black and white; lot of swirls; one sees all the qi swirling, meandering around "point" or tower blocks. 6. As I always say; tower blocks are often the safest bet. (Other than some of the information that will be provided on the 2nd thread to this message - has to do with all towers on "stilts" : where there are two sides of the coin...

1. If you intend to DIY; then these are some of the resources:- Eight House or Flying Star Flying Star Feng Shui as a Diagnostic Tool 2. The rest is beyond this General advice forum.

1. In my opinion; based on eye-ball to estimate the centrepoint of the home: What you mentioned: kitchen, laundry room and guest bathroom: in my opinion ARE NOT in the middle of the house. 2. Many of your other questions are too specific for this General Advice Forum. The test is : "Does anyone else cares too hoots about other specific questions related only to self or family etc.." In addition, it is so easy to post and who is going to do all the (calculations, analysis) or the homework for you? 3. Please take note that the Sun deck and garage ARE not actual interior living spaces and often not considered when determing the centrepoint or centre of gravity of the living area. However, there is such thing as either protusions or missing areas. In this layout plan; the Family area as highlighted in purple should be considered as a protusion.

In my opinion, there are two contrary view points: 1. The most common from a Flying Star Feng Shui is: often one hears this saying "Such a waste that the current prosperity is located in the kitchen". 1.1. For example, for the current period 8; instead of having the current prosperity especially double auspicious wealth sectors at the frontage; the current prosperity is "wasted" in the kitchen area. What a waste! 1.2. Here, if the double #8's can also be at the living room area; or area of activity where one can enjoy the influence of good qi. 1.3. For some, the kitchen and yard area can be "messy" and if the double #8s are located there; make sure that the kitchen area is tidy; and laundry (yard) as clean as possible: not saying that one cannot hang clothes, underwear or even bra at that area. Just make sure that it is "presentable". 2. From a Eight House concept; the best way to understand is the site for an auspicious gravesite. 2.1. Here, since the dead person is stationary; under the Yin concept of Eight House (Compass School) Feng Shui; it is always preferred that the dead is "sitting" at a good SECTOR e.g. head lying down facing a good sector vs someone sitting up facing a good sector.

The oldest public housing development is located along Tiong Bahru area. The old airport road area type of public housing is considered second to the abovedevelopment. Fortunately, these quaint 1960's type of public housing has not being demolised along Dakota Crescent. These are "retained" for now... Because of it's close proximity to Singapore's first ever airport located near-by (currently People's Association along Nicol Highway; these flats are always up to a certain resticted height. Since the airport had moved to Paya Lebar and now to Changi airpot; newer development across the street e.g. Jalan empat etc... are high rise development. Not limited by the height restrictions of the ancient past.. anymore...

These are some considerations: 1. Never use a standalone piece of glass or natural stones such as a piece of marble or granite to suspend an altar. 2. The best support "beam" for an altar should be made of wood (or plywood) material. 3. This is pure commonsense. If the standalone is a piece of glass; if the glass inadvertendly cracks; all the items on the altar would come crashing down. 4. There is no issue if the base of the altar is a wooden plank and a cut-out piece of glass placed onto this wooden plank to make it easier to clean the surface of the altar is fine or ok. 5. Usually if measured from the (completed) flooring to the TOP of the suspended altar is 49 3/4 inches.

The fan in the attached photos have retractable blades. BUT of aFeng Shui friendlier design... This streamlineand elegant design is better than the earlier boomerang type of design. It looks more "femine".

Under symbolism in Feng Shui: fans with boomerang type of blades should if possible be avoided especially it is facing the main entrance door or installed in a bedroom. The fan in the attached photos have retractable blades. For example, the blade would retract when the fan is not operational. And extend out fully when operational.

The stall holder is admiring her stall.. YUP! the All GOD's Beverages... Most likely, those who drink her beverages would like ascend to Heaven!

Well it is not exactly GOD's juice; but rather it is ALL GOD's BEVERAGES! See to believe! Some more there is this Guaranteed Certified on the extreme right side of the signage!

Another queensized loft bed design...

In my opinion, diamond (very hard substance) and gold (metal):- 1. This industry should belong to the Metal element. 2. If one is into marketing and sales of these items; then it Marketing or sales "guy" or "person" should be : Fire element.

In general, technically, it also depends on whether one is an east or west group person.

Please note that based strictly on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui:- 1. As far as possible the row of cupboards if they are moveable, is best to be placed against a wall instead of placed like a partition. 2. Thus if the cupboard is moveable; the curtains should also be removed. Unless, this is a passageway towards an attached toilet. 3. Once, especially this cupboard is "got rid" off; then it is much easier to place the bed. And not have "stagnant qi" at "corners" created by the cupboard that can obstruct proper circulation of air all around this bedroom.

Just remember that there are three kinds of luck: 1. Heaven Luck (what you had found out) via Ba Zi. 2. Earth Luck (Feng Shui of home and office) 3. Human or Man Luck (relationships, family, bonding etc..) From a Ba zi perspective; harmonising one's element e.g. in her bedroom colours etc... Frankly, many people also don't have fantastic Heaven Luck but Para 2 and 3 would help greatly as each account for 33.3 percent of total luck.

Another one of those "bird stories"... This time round, three birds trying to peck at left-over food. Location: Taman Jurong Market and Food Centre

Oh dear! Do not tamper with the fans. Anyone doing so may be referred to the Police. What an unusual or rather "weird" signage! GOSH!

Location: 588 x Ang Mo Kio Street 52. (For privacy, I have masked out the exact unit number.) Did you see a water melon hung in-front of the unit number plate. Did you also see two halves of a water melon. (Plus a lime cut-into-two pieces)Each half was placed on each side of the floor of the main entrance. A candle stick each was also placed and most likely lighted up when the family just moved-in. The red colour dye is most probably vermillion which is red in colour. And don't mistaken it for some ritual slaughter of an animal's blood. .
