The Antares @ Mattar Rd (99 years leasehold from 14 August 2018. Consists of 2 blocks of 5 storeys and 1 block at 17 storeys and and another 1 block at 18 storeys high = 256 units. First impressions is an upside down Flare gun .. LOL... In my opinion, the architect has done a fantastic job in the layout of the blocks in this development. To me, seems much thought in maximising this unusual plot of land. Yet, seems orderly and pleasing to one's eye. To me, this site plan reminds me of a saucepan. LOL

1. Attached please find two sample paper-cuttings. 2. Can you imagine the skill involved in cutting out these pictures? 3. It is indeed a dying art and few can do these fine cuttings. The paper used is very thin and `fragile' coloured paper. 4. Please examine these two pictures carefully and you can see the fine lines of thin coloured paper.

This private development @18A Fort Road(under construction)comprising of a total of 12 storeys is tall and thin. Not because it is now clad in a green dust/protective screen that makes it a wood element; but instead, the characteristics of a wood building is that it is thin and (reasonably tall). Contrast this to the building seen to the right of the photo; The Meyer Residence; which is rectangular in shape and is considered as belonging to the earth element. Thus, this wood element building can take advantage of The Meyer Residence when it comes of age (TOP). P.S. Apologies if the building looks like it is leaning to the right. Blame it on my photo taking instead…

1. Snuff bottles Chinese snuff bottles are unique because they are not only hand painted but painted from within the bottle. Imagine using a brush and inserting it into the small hole on the top of the bottle and painting a `mirror' image of landscapes etc.. inside the bottle. Truly amazing! 2. Stone paintings Usually, happy children faces are painted on stones. In one of the stone paintings, can you spot a child eating a water melon? 3. Golden Roosters This is a 24K gold plated Golden Rooster from RISIS Pte Ltd at www.risis.com.sg The owner certainly has `No taboos' displaying it in the house. Oops.. am I referring to myself:) *JOKE* Click here: http://www.geomancy.net/…

Thomson Imperial Court Floor Plan Stack #04

1. Numerous blocks associated with the same neighbourhood HDB flats; at the VOID deck (ground level), every pillar appears to have a tag, such as C4033, etc.. 2. What is the reason for the excessive tagging of the pillars across several blocks of flats? 3. These flats were built between 1984 and 2003, specifically around 1997. They are relatively new and do not appear to be in disrepair. Is it necessary to monitor each pillar as if they are in critical condition? 4. Perhaps the town council requires precise identification of each pillar and its location. For instance, a maintenance team might be alerted... 4.1 Block 391A Compassvale Street, Pillar no. C4033 has st…

This home owner seems to love planting several varieties of cactus. In the past, some plant such plants at corners of homes to deter someone climbing illegally e.g. a thief into one's home...

An unexpected visitor arrived outside my client's under construction semi-detached home. Look who's the alien visitor?

Garden Hill Park @ Bedok North is a matured estate. A few years younger than it's sister estate: Marine Terrace... but certainly retain that late 1970's charm...

This office which is directly `hit' by a `T-junction' where vehicles, move towards it has been in bad shape. Please wait loading picture (100k)... The building to the right is not affected as usually cars are parked on that side of the road. Both buildings to the left and right of this building looks lovely but not for this one. Where the roof is also in disrepair. Warmest Regards, Cecil Lee

For a house which has sloping back and in this example with a major road at it's back, such retaining brick walls are ideal. Notice that the retaining wall(s) are of sufficient height.
