Dear Patrick, Would it be possible to upload a simple sketch of the home. This is because, if you go thru some of the past postings, some homes can take "advantage" of the cul-de-sac to collect wealth, but others are "hammered" by it. Warmest Regards, Cecil Does this have the same Anyone's Thank

This is an interesting claim ...

Dear TC, You can log-in to www.geomancy-online.com. There is free Flying Star House Number Report for high-rise building in the above site. It should normally be used in conjuction with the Flying Star Analysis: 1. The Flying Star House Number report looks only at vertical slice of a high-rise building where it is assumed that each level of a unit, differs. 2. The Flying Star Analysis takes into consideration only the horizontal analysis. Thus, both should be used instead of just using one method. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, One good example is at http://www.geomancy.net/fs/grandpa1.htm This type of house has to eventually be pulled down i.e. demolished and rebuilt. Usually, the senario is like this: 1. The breadwinner will die shortly after it is constructed. 2. Other family members will have a hard time `keeping' it although the next breadwinner will not die but will have lots of difficulty. 3. If this second breadwinner (usually the inheritants) does not sell the house, it will be `forced' sell e.g. bankrupt or near bankrupt. Near bankrupt if he sells early and avoids this. 4. If the house is sold to another party, this party will have financial problems and will eventually have…

Like they say: " a photo tells a thousand words...." These early photos 1900'sof boats in a quay gives us what is known as "Boat Quay, Singapore" today. Did you see a photo of a bullock cart in the 2nd photo? In those days, all bullock carts are pulled by twin "engines" i.e. two buffalos each. Talk about "horse power" in the west. If motor vehicles were invented in the East or Far East today; instead of measuring car's "horse power"; Here in the Far East, we could be talking about the measure by "buffalo power" i.e. My car has "235 buffaloes" (buffalo power!) And the photos show that Singapore was no sleepy village...

Dear Anon, Further to my earlier comments: 1. Activites like buying a lotto or sweepstake ticket is also interesting. Here, it also gives a person Hope or for some people, something to look forward to. 2. Contrary to popular belief, even in Taiwan, not many people or the majority of population (like the west) are equally intriqued with Feng Shui and other of such activties such as face reading, and other geomancy fields. Feng Shui Masters are far and rare. In my opinion, it can be the ratio of e.g. the ratio of doctors to the population or less. 3. In Cate Bramble's website or article, you will notice that he `duped' prominent politicians and businessmen etc... 4. This i…

Dear David, The best technique in using the Eight House Theory is to prepare a transparency and writing down each person's intangible directions on the transparency. Try to use it on a A4 sized transparency where we commonly use this paper. 1. Your transparency should have the North, NE, East, SE, South, SW, West and NW clearly marked on the transparency. 2. Next, if you want to use different ink to represent each member of the family. Start with the Father, Mother, etc... After doing so, you will then have a `big picture' of your entire family. 3. Get the layout plan of your house. If you are looking at various properties, simply superimpose this transparency on the layo…

There are diverse ways of `finding' out how lucky numbers are... some one has written an excel spreadsheet for finding out if your handphone number is lucky? Well, in my opinion, try it for FUN! Thou!

Under Malay culture; because they use their hands both for eating and doing "business"; This is what a typical fully customised "business" centre of the Malays are about... There is always a washing pipe.. close-by. In the "poo-poo" cubicle; there is always a water pipe and a small plastic container to contain water. Can you see the white plastic container beside the "throne seat?" And NO! The washing pipe on the right side of each urinal is not meant to wash a Male person's "JOYSTICK"... It is for him to wash his hands after he had aimed, shot and place his joystick to "safe mode"...

Dear Kaushal, 1. I believe I have posted a lengthy reply on this subject in one of today's reponse to an earlier e-mail. In my opinion, in general, Feng Shui has an `indirect' relationship or effect on Love and romance or finding a partner. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui can help to identify and help. 3. Ultimately, human factors are equally essential. And this comes under Man or Human Luck. Warmest Regards Cecil

1. In the early 1970's when crude oil is suppose to last at least another 70 years; my teachers advised me to work for companies like: Shell, BP, Esso or Mobil. 2. In the 1980's to 1990's, the best stress free careers are those in Charities in Singapore! Imagine, huge pay and relatively low stress! 3. Today, some say become a Singapore Minister. As Singapore Ministers are paid a huge sum even more than the President of United States. 4. The last career being a Minister is not easy and few can become Singapore Ministers. 5. If I were to turn back the clock? Hmmm... I would like to be the founder and CEO of Singapore's largest charity: The National Kidney Foundation…

1. If you frequently carry multiple credit cards and use them excessively, leading to accumulating roll-over credits, a clever solution is to freeze the cards in a bowl of water. 2. By freezing the credit cards, it will deter you from using them impulsively as you will have to wait for them to thaw properly before using them again. 3. This method serves as a reminder to limit the number of credit cards you have, ideally keeping only one or two for regular use, with the second one as a backup for emergencies or travel purposes. Warmest Regards, Cecil IN CONCLUSION The text advises those with multiple credit cards to freeze them in a bowl o…

Dear Darlene, 1. Sorry for the late reply. 2. Presently there are no ISO standards or standard practises in Feng Shui. 3. I would rather call it Geomancy as Feng Shui alone is not really enough to cover the scope of a full " Feng Shui " audit. 4. In my opinion, it takes years and years of experience plus constant studying and updates to come to a level of not only understanding but applying `Feng Shui'. As Rome was not built in a day, Geomancy study needs lots of understanding and more importantly, applying what most likely works and discard the `bad' practises. 5. I therefore cannot blame you for being `confused' with so many practices in Geomancy. Furthermore, there …

Dear Lynn, 1. Usually, you can get readily purchased coins already tied with red string with a tassel. 2. In your case, usually, tie the first coin with the second coin and then add the third coin, overlapping each other. The three coins can be `firmly' held together overlapped in a straight line. (Overlapped partially on top of each other). 3. The three coins are usually placed under the main entrance carpet. The symbolic gesture of stepping on the three coins is like stepping on `gold'. 4. You do not really need to worry as to how to tie them. But remember not to stack them together and tie them. 5. Here, symbolically, one must still see the three coins (even if they ar…
