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.

Traditional business wooden signage Nowadays many modern Chinese firms no longer use such signages: 1. Usually the horizontal or length-wise is based on odd measurements. This represents Yang. 1.1 The vertical side is even measurement: representing Yin. 1.2 For example: if the length of the sign is 127cm; the vertical side is 58cm etc. 2. A most distinct feature are the two support "animals" usually the Qi Ling or a pair of lions. 3. Less common are the two lotus leaf features of the second signage that of DJ Bakery.

The Midtown complex with a mix of residences and shops seems to share the fate of the glut in the sudden explosion of many Malls in Singapore. Although, this development does not have bad Shapes and Forms; This has more to do with it being inconveniently located at the fringe of a small Hougang estate. Look at it this way; there was once a spokesperson from a local bank who told me that when an ATM machine broke down; customers would complain that even a 200 metre walk to the next machine is too far... In the future, it may end up with the likes of a Sheng Siong or Giant ... taking over most of a level ... since there is already two NTUC Fairprice near…

Catholic: The Church of the Holy Family in Katong Even near-by roads are named after it. Such as Chapel Road. Did you see how many languages? English, Mandarin & Indian. Representing the wide influence it has with these three races in Katong. The construction of the road, now known as East Coast Road in early 1920 facilitated the development of Tanjong Katong. Some families purchased plots of land in the area, which included Mr. James Leonard Scheerder, who developed a coconut plantation around Marine Parade, Chapel and East Coast Road. The De La Salle Brothers also bought a plot of land, at which the St. Patrick's School now stands. At that time, the Broth…

Nice meaningful motifs on the main entrace gate : 1960's to 1970's design

Poor Shapes & Forms but no obvious "threat" from movement of or flow of vehicles passing past the front gate of this home. Good news is that the home is set-back quite a distance from the road. A pretty sizeable home by Singapore standards, today. Arrows show the direction of vehicle flow.
