Around Singapore

Ref: http://fountain.geomancy.net The photo shows a politically correct or in theory a typical "Feng Shui" type of water feature. In the first photo, it shows clearly that the water feature lacks plants = wood element.

Some external photos of an abandon 1950's bungalow house

A water feature with specific dimensions..

Singapore has very few circular blocks of flats (a condo). In this case three circles that form the distinctive The Draycott (around Stevens Road). Often, one thing for sure; it is more difficult for built-in cabinets and wardropes...

To our young Singaporeans; all BTO's are often a heavy "expense" or burden. Some young couples would say "Not cheap".... and nowadays you can't even pay back the 99 year lease within 5 years! Yet alone... 15 years or more...

In the past, used to see this cart or stall in every cinema lobby... A pleasant surprise to see this cart at Selegie while visiting a corporate client's new Education school in Pomo (formerly Singapore Pools HQ)...

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?

This is another variation (design) of the Qi Lin. Under symbolism in Feng Shui; this pair seems to be "very strong" tough and well endowed then it's other cousins found on other main entrance pillars.

Rich decorations on the facade of this old iconic shop-front

Many times in the past, whenever I am at Compass Point Shopping Centre; nearly scraped/brushed my ankle (leg) against the sharp edges of the plant pot. In fact, on a few occasions; when it is crowded and when tried to side-step other pedestrians had brushed my legs against it. Ouch!

Sprucing up homes and buying new to replace the old or removing clutter is a sure sign that Chinese New Year (CNY) 2014 is coming... shortly...

This graffiti is not your regular "Grandmother's road" type of graffiti. For one, it is officially sanctioned and approved! So no one will go to jail or caned for vandalism of a void deck...

As mentioned; previously; based on common sense; the test is whether a run-away car can slam into a home / gate or garden... In this example; it might be possible for both homes: marked in red = A and/or marked in purple = B. In doubt; avoid purchasing such homes.

Another Chinese New Year is arriving soon....

From this angle, this home seems to be concerned with how uncomfortable; the road-way. Fortunately, this is Singapore and cars are "right-hand" drive. Plotting a virtual outline of how cars would flow around this property shows that it is not "threatened" by the movement of cars.

This home marked in purple as A/B has two gate entrances. And the main entrance is never directly facing towards the frontage or the gate (area). Furthermore, it is "deeper" in thus make it less likely to be threatened by a "run-away" car.

On a Saturday morning... and cannot even find a parking space @ a client's landed home...

Nice restoration of a shop-front @ Joo Chiat Place

It is a pity that this old 1950's elevated-terrace home is so run-down. I believe... in a few years time... it will disappear / demolished totally...

This roof (red arrow-ed terrace home) is being supported by side-wall
