In the Commonwealth Crescent public housing estate; the vehicle porch shelter is built around an old existing tree branch... Kudos!

This is a larger photo...

Yesterday, visited a client's newly completed bungalow home. Caught their tortise relaxing under the sun. Can you see the relaxed position and stretched feet? No wonder, a tortise can live a long life!

1. Yes, you have a valid point, here. (And depending on the Period) what you mentioned makes sense. However..... 2. To further understand better; 2.1. You need to overlay the flying star chart onto the layout plan. And thre are many considerations: master bedroom, kitchen: location and placement etc.. etc... 2.2. Shapes and Forms fo the external environment, the site and the building. 2.3. The drainage out of the property 3. As we go deeper into the analysis; and investigative work; the more we can understand better which facing IN RELATION to the plot and internal organs of the house is a better choice. 4. What you mentioned is like looking at an apple from the outside (purely facing direction). But outwardly, the apple may look good; but internally, it could be rotten inside. Same thing, here.

1. Like all investigative sciences; in order for you to make any enhancement(s) and/or reduce any negative qi: Feng Shui Triage. Tell us: how to remedy ifno investigations are done: TRIAGE 2. The Eight House / Eight Mansions (4 Good/Bad directions) concept can be used to futher look at the best bed-head direction. 3. Shapes and Forms of the bedroom: often this is limited by the bedroom door, windows and other fixtures in a bedroom e.g. entrance to the attached bedroom. 4. Alternatively; if the above are not applied; then it is as good as doing Trial and Error Feng Shui. Logically, it is either going thru Para 1 to 3 or "free for all".

If you are referring to East sector to create a window; best to avoid doing so, this lunar year. As not only the #5 yellow is at East (this year) but also Grand Duke or Tai Sui.

Frankly, take a simple flow chart: 1. Either one goes to a geomancer. In this case, you should follow-up with your geomancer and ask him to find the leaks for you. or 2. DIY. For DIY, I have provided you some of the good practises. However, I can understand, many of us; simply are too impatient, here as there are lots and lots of things to take note. And the fact that if one don't even know how to find the leaks; Please refer to Para 1. 3. In the earlier, link; the fact is thateven allgeomancers needs to go thru the "Triage" to find out what are the leaks. A link which I posted earlier mentions this.

Frankly, Feng Shui is a holistic approach. It is best to be aware of:Fast Food Feng Shui Your question is like this senario:Feng Shui Triage One of the key success factors is:Fix-the-Leak, First! You should also considerThe Concept of Maximizing Marks The above are some of the considerations. Thus penning a few lines of text does not equate to presto! You can increase your wealth.

Using eye-ball method, please see attachment for the centrepoint. Looks like the centerpoint is not located in the toilet. It is located in the kitchen. But fortunately, it is not directly above the stove which is inauspicious. The Concept of Maximizing Marksshould be applied should the toilet is located at the centrepoint.

Further to what I had mentioned; from the investigative illustration of layout plan: 1. The Eight House chart can even identify; where is the best bed-head direction. 2. Even for couples; who sleeps where or which side of the bed 3. From the Flying Star chart: it is preferred that the bed-head is placed closer to WEST sector as this sector has good auspicious qi. While placing the bed sharing the toilet wall at SW is still ok for this bedroom. 4. Colours that bind the two partners in relation to the Flying Star numbers etc.... These are some of the information; for example to place bed-head; above Para 1 is used in the "scientific" Compass School of Feng Shui. Thus, as mentioned, unfortunately, without such minimium information; it is as good as bringing out a coin: Heads or Tails. Your sketch to such a limited extend is like the BLIND leading the BLIND.

1. As I mentioned; attached is already a simple "Investigative Feng Shui chart". Only the Master Bedroom is shown, in the attachment. 2. Proper Feng Shui looks at many factors. As I mentioned; the attachment is already a relatively minimium "investigative" chart. 3. Really, how am I seriously going to speak or even try to "add substance" to totally limited information on your even more rudimentary sketch that literally "nothing". Not even a compass (cardinal point indication); things like Eight House chart, Flying Star numbers, Ba zi elements and colours suitable to say the two partners in the master bedroom. 4. The best; guess would be like unfortunately, think "Heads or Tails": then throw the dice to see whether one should flip the bed or not - but consider like you mentioned; would you be comfortable with the bed-head against the other wall. 5. Frankly, having being in this line for so long; adults may / could /would find it uncomfortable with the bed sharing the same wall as the bedroom door; 5.1. In many situations; often, a child used to sleep with their parents; but perhaps the child had overgrown their stay in the parents bedroom; 5.2. The child gets "thrown" out of the master bedroom. Some of the more timid child or children prefer to sleep closer to the bedroom door! Why? 5.3 They feel that although they were kicked out of the master bedroom; sleeping closest to a bedroom door is like the hope that " their hearts and minds" are the closest that they can get to their parents! How sweet and innocent these children are! 5.4 We adults don't think this way! That is why your original bed is furtherest and with the best view of anyone unexpectedly coming in to the room. 6. Therefore, compare to a chart where we have quite alot of information on hand; therefore how to comment on a barren patch of sketch? Unfortunately it is beyond me.. and everyone else who apply holistic Feng Shui. Got it, Get it? 7. Frankly, the best you can hope, here is You may have to go by "trial and error" Feng Shui.. Try it out and see how...

1. Frankly, your sketch is like " too sketchy ". Can't even see how the door swings into the bedroom. So how to comment? Your sketch shows the area where the main door is a "slab" of some hazy foggy ..... 2. To reduce the incidence of "miscarriage" try to avoid yellow colour in the bedroom. This includes if possible avoid "warm white" lights. Cool day light is rather a preventive choice. 3. Sorry, as to how to calculate the flying star... this is beyond this forum. Especially if you intend to DIY; then go read and dig up as much information the subject.

In my opinion; these are some considerations: 1. Personally, I always prefer to draw a PIE CHART. 2. Here, I can "imagine" the qi flowing in, better and make a better distinction using each of the cardinal compass points as reference materials. 3. In general; if a space is or could be occupied by two sectors; then often; think of the key: how does qi try to meander into that space. With a pie chart, I always try again to "imagine" which seems to have the highest influence or most likely influence to that space or room.

Frankly, it is difficult to comment further; 1. As the two compass school analysis are not available: 1.1 The Eight House helps to check which bed-head direction is preferred. 1.2. And whether the "other side" is better or worse without analysing the the Flying Starnumbers and where the actual compass cardinal points are. 2.Thus, trying to answer your questions is like the BLIND; leading the BLIND sort of thing. "Can't say for sure" really. Hi Cecil ,The cupboards are fitted ones on either side of the bed and are higher than the bed. We also have cupboard on top of the bed too (which i did not state before)Will the layout I have attached be better instead of the original one. Last year I had a late miscarriage, and if I am looking to conceive again I want my bed in a better position.Please advise. Many Thanks Monica

Frankly, it is not mandatory for the Applied Feng Shui course, first.

1. In my opinion, your question is still in-complete. 2. For example: the key essence, here should instead be looking into:- 2.1. HEALTH (#2 sickness, #5 misfortune, sickness) 2.2. WEALTH (#3 quarrels, conflicts, lawsuits, #7 lost opportunies "theft" of luck, #5 misfortune etc..) 3. Thus, the most practical approach is to what you said. 4. Of course, if the facing direction has "WEALTH" but if the bedroom has health issues; many people would prefer health, first and foremost. Who don't want wealth. But, without good health how to enjoy wealth peacefully or happilly 5. Instead: I should ask you the question: 5.1. Would you mind good health but not that great in wealth or lots of wealth but health and even fatal health issues? 6. This is truly commonsense or cowsense.

1. Frankly, in several of the past messages; the house number analysis is better used in situations for a new development where many of the stacks and units are available. 2. Here, for example within a stack; one can quickly check which level or storey or floor is better. For example stack #08 has most of the units available. For example; stack #9 could be better than say #7 or #10. In such situations. 3. In a "no-choice" or highly limited choice senario of resale homes; even if another unit in the same stack is better; and if no one wants to sell it; not much use, here. 4. In the final situation: Shapes and Forms and things like plotting out the Flying Star chart for that unit is your best bet in such a situation where the apartment level (floor or storey) may not be auspicous.

This is one of the many past replies to similar question as yours:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=23898&new= If you use the SEARCH feature and type in " House gua or life gua " there are more specific samples of past replies.

1. Again; this is another costly "no-brainer". 2. Furthermore, if initally commonsense had prevail; this would not have happened! 3. Let's say, even if one has the highest IQ and education; but could not look into the practical side of things... this ain't no good. 4. This reminds me of the Commonsense reasoning of "non-conductivity" of heat from parquet flooring. This is why many quality homes use parquet flooring for their bedrooms. For example, when we wake up; our feet touches the ground. And if the floor is made of tiles or granite or marble; our feet feels the cold. While steeping on wood (parquet) is another thing all together. Commonsense, commonsense and commonsense prevail.

These are some considerations: 1. Look at it this way: some of us go to another country; but in reality; they only visit locations that tourists visit only. And come to their own PREMATURE conclusion that the entire country must be this or that. 2. Please note that even for Flying Star Feng Shui; although we cannot say that it belongs to kindergarten type of Feng Shui; but some of us don't even realise that there are more to it then meets the eye. 3. For example; no offence; in my opinion; your knowledge is like Primary School Flying Star. 4. Please go do more studies on Flying Star. 5. For example: Flying Star uses the 9 grid. And clearly, you should be an expert on this by now: numbers 1 to 9 rite? 6. If you are really interested in Flying Star; there is such thing as clue: THE 81 COMBINATIONS. 7. Another mathematical clue: 9 x 9 = 81 permutations. 8. Please don't fall into the premature evaluation or non understanding senario. 9. Furthermore, even individual number(s) specifically you mentioned #3 be a good number? Where did this come from? 10. Best not to continue to apply Primary School Flying Star. Flying Star also has the equivalent of Diploma and Degree sort of thing. 11. We had already worked on many versions of the program. Frankly, I strongly believe; what you want out of this is to somehow; magically turn the house number into a good number. This is not the right way to manipulate numbers to make someone happy. If so, just pretend that you had never seen the interpretation.

Further to what I had mentioned; 1. Go take a look at this sample snapshot of a Flying Star chart with the 81 Combinations included for a sector. 2. Even in our modern world: Do you live like a hermit or also need to interact with others? 3. The interaction of 3 and 6:- [3] & [6] - Lawsuit, injury to hands and legs. 3.1. For humans, how to make babies if there is only one person? 3.2. In the above example: a person called Number 3 marries Number 6. 3.3 Please see attachment. You were partially right to say that number #6 is a good number. But you were totally wrong in saying that number #3 is auspicious? How can it be? Strong Wood (3) (Inauspicious Star) represents Lu Cun Xing, Disputes, Quarrels, Conflicts. Strong Metal (6) (Auspicious Star) represents Wu Qu Xing, Luck from Heaven. 3.4 On the same token; so what if number #8 on it's own is auspicious. Again, if number #8 mixes with the wrong company; the result can also be inauspicious like Para 3 above: combined together: [3] & [6] - Lawsuit, injury to hands and legs. 4. Therefore, please avoid premature understanding and come up with the wrong conclusions and asking for re-look or change it to something nice for one to hear. Frankly, if the news is bad, it is bad (full stop.)

1a. Type of Housing: Public Housing Estate 1b. Location: Common area in a specific estate in Bukit Batok Street 21 2. Did you see the two barbecue pits? 3. Frankly, this is my very first time seeing a barbeque pit specific for Muslims (as muslims don't eat pork = Malay word = babi ) 4. Perhaps, for some of you; this may be common-place. So far, I have yet to see such a designation or signage specific for this reason. 5. This is for info only .. as I mentioned above.. something rather new to me. Hope this posting does not "trigger" any race riot of sorts! It is really new to me. 6. Is this common especially in Muslim countries; or automatically all barbecue pits in Muslim countries don't allow pork on any barbeque pits.... Indonesia? Malaysia? Arab Countries?

1. Where one intends to be a Feng Shui wanabi or interested in D.I.Y. (Do-it-yourself) Feng Shui; 2. From my personal experience; 30 to 50 percent of the time many of the Feng Shui concepts have their origins under "commonsense". 3. Under this work-in-progess site; there are many so called Feng Shui concepts that have their origins under simple everyday "commonsense" or "cowsense":- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Commonsense_Approach 4. Take for example; these photos; which have nothing to do with Feng Shui. 4.1 Any person who uses their commonsense would know that in the first place; why torture the plant by constructing a "perfect" fitting circular planter. 4.2 Even if the person who constructed it perhaps is a worker; how about his supervisor? Did someone think about a maturing tree? 4.3 From the photos; one can see that the brick walls had cracked and new plaster were placed at - at least 4 different sides of the circular planter. 5. Not only is it cruel to the tree to enclose it like that; but in the next few years; many more repairs has to be done! 6. Many more patches or fixes need to be made regularly costing not only time and effort but money. Be it from the sinking fund of the estate or even tax payer's money (since this is a public housing estate in Bukit Batok Street 21!) 6. In Feng Shui also same thing! Morale of the story? "Get it right the first time!"
