Around Singapore

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.

This office has its main door facing outwards. No wonder it is called `Poor company'. It is difficult to retain money here.

Please follow this link to the 16 pictures on the above (mainly inaupicious placement of office tables):- http://www.geomancy.net/pics/handrawn/index.htm

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.

This picture was taken today (6 June 2000) of the Fortredale. On this side of the building (there are two sides), at the higher floors it shows only one unit being occupied. In a city like Singapore, where apartments are snapped up the moment they are `sold', there seems to be few take up (actually staying) in these apartments. Earlier, I mentioned that the windows of this apartment are not conducive for a humid and hot city like Singapore. In fact, most Singaporeans have also, I believe found it not `practical' to stay in. In my opinion, the curtains in the apartment shown, looks `make-shift', and (unfortunately) reminds one of a refugee camp. This recent picture (Plea…

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
