Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 24, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted September 24, 2022 Heard a recent Gossip? HDB Chief Planner: "Sir, it will cost us a bomb to plan a development on a triangular plot of land. As you can see we were mostly given rectangular plot. Plus my career is at risk if POOR take up later!" (As the HDB Planner is the boss favourite) HDB Boss says: "No worries, I will tell my buddy, buddy at SLA to DUMP this plot for PRIVATE SALE!" HDB Chief Planner: "Thank you UNCLE!" Now you know how the site became an EC called Copen Grand! A Classic case of Civil Servants TAI-CHI at work? LOL To be fair, in my opinion, there are far worse-off sites: Blossom Residences EC at Segar, Ecopolitan (Punggol) & Bellewaters EC (Anchorvale - Sengkang) which have an expressway as their companion. Copen Grand, slightly out of the way but flanked by two new u/c MRT stations. P.S. Please note that above is not real - No such conversations ever exists. Please don't POFMA me will do.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 24, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted September 24, 2022 Case Study 1: A triangular plot of land. Any concerns? The planners did a fairly good job with the block layout: Orderly (pleasing to the eye) and functional: FAVOURABLE QI FLOW WITHIN THE PLOT More pronounced outline: Good Shapes and Forms Planning: Especially thought went into circulation + greenery Learn more: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 24, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted September 24, 2022 Case Study 4: Time for Sale - Lelong, lelong? Financial Future Proof of One's home? #01-44, #14-44, #01-14, #01-04 etc... The maxim "One man's meat is another man's poison" Unfortunately, sometimes we may be neutral to our unit number. But in the future, a potential buyer might not feel at ease with say #01-44 or #14-44. Thus no amount of "coercion" may make someone else want to buy that unit. Worse, LOW BALL YOU.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 25, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted September 25, 2022 Case Study 7A: Front Loading Washing Machine facing Stove & Oven? Under the Five Elements Concept, this is a clash of FIRE (stove / oven) with WATER (Front Loader) Fair enough, you say you provide good cross ventilation. But this layout isn't luxurious living / dining spaces. They are only just adequate or standard provisions of any normal 3 bedrooms. Not even close to DELUXE. Hey! Front Loading Washing Machine with glass bubble + water facing stove and oven. Case Study 7B: The word GRAND in the eyes of the FRENCH? This is a call-out on the above " Luxurious living/dining spaces." - Perhaps this is the reason why the developer CDL & MCL decided to call it Copen GRAND? In Hokkien the term is " HAO LIAN" = Blowing Trumpet or Hot Air. In army this is "Throwing smoke". LOL While Mike Wolfe of American Pickers reality television series often uses this term: "Throwing mud and hopes it sticks on the wall." LOL LOL I bet you did not know this! Often, I am always very curious to find out a certain word... General Knowledge: What does GRAND mean in French? 1. Sengkang GRAND Residences, Piermont GRAND & Whistler GRAND? All these three developments; CDL (a subsidiary of Hong Leong) has a hand in it. 2. While the English meaning of GRAND could also mean Luxurious or Luxury. 3. The French has a totally different meaning all together. 3.1. The adjective for GRAND in French is: Great, large, big, wide, high. 3.2. In the past, Renault has two versions of their Scenic. The larger 7-seater version was called GRAND Scenic. 3.2.1. This simply means that their GRAND model is larger, bigger, wider than the standard model. LOL Nothing to do with Grandeur.. LOL LOL 3.2.2. Citroen also calls their larger model GRAND C4 Picasso 7 Seater. 3.2.3. This is more of a French thing... 3.3. Thus if we use French, don't you think that the development's title can be misleading? 4. This is because, nowadays most floor plans are much smaller. And cannot be compared to a home built in the 1970's to 1980's. LOL 5. If one is a "French man" can perhaps go claim that the advert and the actual development's name is totally misleading.. 6. Luckily, other than our mother tongue... Singapore... is inclined towards British English... not French.. LOL P.S. Next time, if you do invite a French man to your new home... do relate this interesting fact to them... Also, I used to own a Renault Grand Scenic that is why I am pretty familiar with this word.. LOL Extracted from this previous article Case Study 7C: How come GRAND but both the SHOWERS are kinda small? Therefore, I would have hoped that the developers x 2 CDL & MCL should have been modest enough to call it e.g. Copen Residences right. What is more important is one's UNIT, first and foremost. External facilities are secondary + they are pretty standard as most other ECs. LOL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 4, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted October 4, 2022 NOTICE: SAMPLING EXERCISE - THERE SHOULD BE MORE UNITS IN THIS DEVELOPMENT AFFECTED BY THIS... Case Study 11: Kitchen at NW? Affected by Inauspicious Fire @ Heaven's Gate 1. Do you know that often South facing flats usually have their kitchen either at North, NE or NW compass sectors. 2. I did a sampling and randomly found BLK 35 Stack #06, BLK 57 Stack #15 & BLK 67 Stack #34 is affected by the inauspicious Fire @ Heaven's Gate. 3. Understand what is Fire @ Heaven's Gate: EXTRACT: Part 8: Male Breadwinner and the inauspicious Fire at Heaven's Gate 1. Do a search in this forum for " Fire at Heaven's Gate ". 2. Generally, a kitchen especially if a stove is directly at the NW cardinal point will be inauspicious for the male-head of the house. Typically this can affect him. 3. This is because NW under the Ba Gua Trigram belongs to the Heaven (sign). And NW also represents the male-head elder of the house. 4. Thus in simple terms: turning on a stove at NW will burn one's Heaven luck = not lucky and also may affect the male-head elder's career. 5. It is thus not difficult to visualise South facing stacks and try to locate stacks with kitchen at NW sector. Especially Flying Stars S2 facing ones.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 4, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted October 4, 2022 Case Study 12A: Tengah Air-Base is near-by. I don't live here. I hope it is not too noisy in the future. This is because I don't have the power to ask SAF or the government to keep my area QUIET! Mainly also because most of the TOP BRASS + LEADERS don't stay, here. They mostly stay at Districts 10, 15 and also Serangoon Gardens area. Case Study 12B: REMINDER-TO-SELF @ COPEN GRAND "HELP! Where can I buy a GREEN LAZER PEN?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted October 6, 2022 Author Staff Share Posted October 6, 2022 Case Study 13: A Herb Garden really? 1. Developers must realise that all private estates/ECs/Condos must do mandatory fogging without fail every week. 2. For those who have experienced a fogging episode will realise that often, the fumigation (fogging) can reach as high as the third or even fourth floor or more depending on wind conditions and layout of the blocks etc... (Below: Even after fogging had finished after 6 minutes and depending on the wind conditions, the smoke can be seen to rise up to 3rd storeys or higher in this development). 3. So what is stopping the fogging to reach the Herb Garden? 3.1. Even if the herbs grow beautifully - go ahead and use them! 3.2. As this area is not enclosed and open to everyone, there is really no motivation for a resident or group of residents to cultivate the herbs. For them to be later harvested by someone else. 3.3. Because of the fogging most likely toxic chemicals absorbed by the herbs... PRIVE EC - WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT'S SPICE GARDEN? The tag says "SPICE GARDEN" BUT THERE ARE NO SPICES GROWN, HERE. LOL. PRIVE EC - WHAT HAS BECOME OF IT'S SPICE GARDEN? 4. For example, last year I visited Prive condo a few times. This development once HAD a spice garden. But seems like no spice plants. Became just another planter area. Lol... 5. All developers and their architects and their landscape planners should understand this! 6. Even if you don't stay there, don't become an idiot! Please.. Lol... P.S. Note: Photos are not of Copen Grand. Added for illustration purposes, only. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 26, 2023 Author Staff Share Posted July 26, 2023 BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM No wonder, Feng Shui suffers from a bad reputation, today Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui. But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one: Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why. Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES! On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away! ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU? When the buying Stops! The selling Can! Yes! Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"

Staff Cecil Lee Posted November 18, 2023 Author Staff Share Posted November 18, 2023 Case Study: Every site even this development has it's the Good, the Bad and the Ugly Units 1. Remember, even if a geomancer says that this is a good development. However, a good unit also depends on where it is within the development: 2. Is your potential unit under the Good, the Bad or the Ugly? 3. Often if one is lucky, even if the unit is not so fantastic superficially. Some units are like an unpolished gem. While others unfortunately may be a hopeless rotten apple. 3.1. Just imagine, if the unit is like a 10 year old rundown 1,000 cc car. Even a good Feng Shui Master is unable to turn it into a good unit! By the way, (above) this falls under Habit Number 11. 4. Under Habit 1, one possibility is by ranking one's bedroom type by stack/unit: 1st choice, 2nd choice etc...
