If one has one's own garden, it is advisable not to anyhow place unknown scultures such as those in some of the pictures taken in the Imperial garden. This is because; under symbolism in Feng Shui, we try to avoid any objects that may look like "hungry mouths" or monster looking figurines.... these are considered inauspicous especially if their mouths are aimed towards one's home.

1. In the picture, the home marked in yellow: Number 2 is lower than it's neighbours: Number 1 and 2. 2. Usually, a lower home sandwiched between two higher homes is considered to have poorer Feng Shui. However, this home marked Number 2 (in yellow) has lots of open space: thus overall, helps greatly in it's Feng Shui.

A few more photos of the Flamingo flower...

1. All these photos were taken on just one single private housing estate road i.e. Lorong H Telok Kuaru. 2. As the Lipstick palm has partial reddish canes; Chinese like RED as it signifies auspicious connotation. 3. Every one of these picture shows the Lipstick palm or also known as "majestic" Maharajah Palm. The Indian word for Maharajah is royalty!

In these "older" photos; you can clearly see the outline of the main entrance door. In the newer photos; the owner removed the main entrance door from that area. Check out some of the "newer" photos e.g. Triangular2.jpg etc..

This could be another reason one can state in the divorce papers for separation & divorce!

More photos From the photos one can see that the size of the boat is pretty big... Sorry, I took the photo of the Mansion hidden behind a Power Box.... The roof of the mansion has a typical Two dragons chasing after a pearl at the centre.. however.. the centre looks more like a flaming .... Below..can you imagine the skeleton frame of an uncompleted mansion hung up at the ceiling? Apologies for the poor photo.... in the year 2010 phone cameras are not that advanced, yet....

This cover page.. says it all...

This Chinese religious home has a highly decorated frontage. With a Tee Kong (Earth god) figurine and altar on the floor. Did you see the Earth God (Tee Kong) - wearing yellow clothing? Look closely at attachment: my home5.jpg Perhaps, there are two items missing: two lanterns on each side of the main door and/or a red "Ang Cai" banner above the main door entrance!

What about one legged tables? This depends on the centre-of-gravity of the table. For example, if one leans hard on one side of the table; can the table "topple" down?

Common sense plays a large part in Feng Shui. For example, in the two examples; it is best to avoid sleeping with the head sharing the same wall with the toilet bowl's piping. In this illustration; these two layouts have one's bed-head sleeping pretty close to the same wall where the plumbing of the toilet bowl(s) are.

1. During the 1970's the Housing and Development Board (HDB), which is a statuory board tasked to house ordinary citizens; built a one of the kind circular block of flats. 2. This iconic block located at 259 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 2 (at the junction of Ang Mo Kio Ave 1 and Ang Mo Kio Ave 2.0 3. This is one and only circular design block built by HDB. There was never any more such an unusal circular clover leaf-like design. 4. Today, this single block of flat is called " The Clover @ KEBUN ". 5. As each stack / unit has an interior layout plan; many owners / tenants has to resort to tailor-made furnitures to fit the circular profile of the interior. …

Many of the units within the Punggol Field, Punggol Emerald neighbourhood have poor Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Especially units that; when one stands at the main door; can directly see the rubbish cute of the entire block. Or, the corridor is dim and dark leading towards the main entrance doors. Does not seem to have good Shapes and Forms i.e. unable to properly accumulate good qi at the frontage or Ming Tang (no Bright hall effect)

Vs a house directly opposite it; also with uncovered drainage but mostly with an open drainage...

Majority of the stacks/apartments in The Gale either face Period 8 N3 or S3. For units facing N3, it is considered a "pity" that the double current prosperity stars #8 are wasted at the kitchen area. Thus, other than Shapes and Forms; from a Flying Star point of view; S3 facing apartments in The Gale are suppose to have better qi then N3 facing units. Additional Workings

With the extended overhang above this 2nd storey stack/unit at block 664A Punggol Drive; One can notice that even at around 3.30pm, the extended overhang roof helps to shade the fa?ade of this unit's room. However, in general, the lower the stack/unit; the greater the range of shade vs afternoon sun hours.

I was trying to figure out what is the purpose of having a solid metal iron grille gate(SMIGG) in front of the opening of the centralised rubbish cute. I feel that it is a hindrance to have such a SMIGG for the centralised rubbish cute for severalreasons: 1. Often one's hands are full carrying rubbish to be thrown away. And, yet have to fiddle with the SMIGG. 2. In addition, if one looks at the photos,it is near impossible to leave theSMIGG fully opened all the time as it will partially block the escape staircase. Or make it difficult for someone at the other end of it to come in! 3. Even for myself, the SMIGG really weighs a ton! And most likely made of iron. And thru ti…

Saw this, the other day at Prive @ Punggol. This is another consideration if one is considering purchasing a ground floor unit with an open PES area. It is common for cigarette butts and other items to be thrown down. On occasions even little ones from upper floors unintentionally throw down their toys or even AAA sized batteries..
