Where possible, a triangle (fiber-glass base) of a water feature is also a No, No! Firstly, it is pointed at three sides and some of the points can be considered as a poison arrow. Secondly, triangle represents the fire element. For a water position; if we want to introduce "fire element" the next best thing is "a light".

1. Additional points:- 2. At this time, if one use a Feng Shui ruler to measure any of the HDB flats, one will notice that they are all Feng Shui friendly ie. width and height. 3. The 5 room `point' block flats shown earlier are usually 25 storeys high. 4. In addition, many of these 5 room flats and 1 / 3 room flats are typical of earth element. 5. They are typically mass produced and the entire block consisting of 100 units x 25 floors are squarish = earth shape. Perhaps, signalling stability for both the people staying in them and for the country. 6. Under this attachment, you can generally view flats usually 14 storey high. In this single block, one can fin…

Here, these businessmen, would normally place the painting on the same wall as the Main entrance door. 5. This symbolises, the horses, galloping out of the main entrance door, to get more business. 6. Do note that the horses do not face inwards of the door. 7. Please note that I am suggesting that you go out and go b…

Back in the 1950's and 1960's aluminium was rare and very costly. Thus this was the most popular design using the material steel. In the past the gates are made from iron. As aluminium was expensive to make in the past. One of the quickest ways to open to any width and quick and easy to lock. Can even add extra padlocks if needed.

I like to share with everyone my family photos on the burial cremony of my grandfather. Date of pictures 1962 In Part 1, you will see:- 1. The burial procession It starts with the funeral procession starting from my grand father's uncompleted extension to the home. The funeral procession will lead to the burial site. 2. An interesting ceremony of `placing' eyes to the portrait of my grand father. The portrait will be placed at home at an alter. This is commonly called Ancestor Worship. Dotting the eyes would ensure that the dead have eyes so that he can `see'. The picture will show the eldest son who has to carry his father's photo on his back. Did you also notice the st…

In this last part of the Chinese ceremony: 1. Home prayers are conducted by a Taoist priest. In the first picture, if you look carefully in one of the pictures, you will see that the man (wearing a white shirt) has a square piece of cloth held by a pin on his left short sleeeve of his shirt. Traditionally, Chinese wear a piece of square cloth on their clothing and the colour of the cloth deplicts the relationship with the dead. The piece of square cloth is worn during the period of mourning. During the mourning period, family members must not wear colourful clothings but white or black clothings. Notice also in the first picture that family members are wearing the straw…
