Growing bamboo trees on a balcony Certain trees are not appropriate at one's apartment balcony. For example; bamboo trees need as much height as possible.

Where possible, see if you try not to buy a unit/apartment where the main door is so close to the kitchen door. In addition, there is an open backyard: where if the main door and kitchen door are opened, there is a straight path (qi leak) out of the `mouth' main door towards the back (backyard).

I have specially sketched the illustrations to show certain inauspicious situations: 1. Picture 1 : It is inauspicious to have a door behind a table. 2. Picture 2 : Inauspicious to have glass panels at the back of the workstation. 3. Picture 3 : Inauspicious to have a table face a door. 4. Picture 4 : Inauspicious to use circular windows.

Yu Huang Gong, Temple of Heavenly Jade Emperor (the former Keng Teck Whay Building), 150 Telok Ayer Street A milestone was marked in Singapore's heritage history on 31 March 2010; Taoist Mission (Singapore) became the new owner of the "Keng Teck Whay" a Singapore's National Heritage Monument situated at 150 Telok Ayer Street amidst the heart of the financial district. The 170 year old building is now a dilapidated state and is desperately in need of restoration and conservation. The building's architectural style and social heirtage is a living testament to the founding members' efforts and contributions during Singapore's early settlement since 1831. The attached ph…

1. Suntec.jpg - Is a huge "city" complex in Singapore in the shape of a hand. The concept of symbolism is used in building this complex.
