1. As mentioned earlier, a butterfly's life span is very short. 2. Do you know how long it lives? 3. Yes / No? In fact, on the average, a typical butterfly has a lifespan of only TWO WEEKs. (Yes, 2 short weeks or a fortnight). 4. Can u imagine that? This is why, butterfly buildings (SYMBOLICALLY) are not favoured in Feng Shui. Warmest Regards, Cecil

You will also notice the greenery that often attracts birds and butterflies. (Sometimes the dreaded .... honet bee). But often the honet bee does no harm; in-fact, they help polinate the plants and flowers in our garden. In addition, there are lots of flowers growing and usually, it is good to grow plants - a…

In a recent forum message, a Singaporean had asked about drop-off points curving into their block of flats. During one of my audits of new Housing and Development Board (HDB) - i.e. government built flats which numbers around 80 percent of the total housing needs of Singaporeans. I taken this set of photos showing the common type of curve-in drop-off points. In my opinion, there is really no `Sha qi' issue for flats close to this drop-off point. In addition, this type of drop-off point is located within the small `private' road of the estate. And does not pose Sha Qi. Warmest Regards, Cecil

1. In this layout plan, there is a `close-call' towards nature's call. 2. This layout is not-as-auspicious since the toilet bowls of the shared toilet and master bedroom are close to the centre-point of the house. 3. Owner will not be able to `retain cash'. And finance is always up and down with little savings left - at the end of the day. 4. If specific windows are opened in the living room; there is a direct path or sha qi from the main door to the balcony or living room window. This is `curable'. But secondary to the `toilet bowl' issue. Suggestion: If CAN, AVOID buying this unit.

1. This category of Ba Gua mirrors have the Fu Dogs as protection. 2. Sometimes, the owners may not have Fu Dogs on both sides of their premises and they like to feel comfortable with Fu Dogs. 3. Notice that the Model E & F Ba Guas in the picture with Fu Dog in the centre of the Ba Gua " clench' or bite on to two swords. 3. It has to do with the real figurines where some of these Fu Dogs bite on a sword each. I have also taken pictures of figurines of statues of Fu Dogs with the sword in this attachment. Overall, this category of Ba Gua mirrors are is used more for "protection" e.g. against evil spirits RATHER than to deflect Sha Qi or poison arrows. It is preferred …

It is typical of many if not all Chinese restaurants to use red for their main entrance. This restaurant uses a " Fan " shaped signboard. In Mandarin the phonetic sound of a Fan is " shan " represents good. At the same time, many Chinese scholars or officials used to carry fans and even fans were frequently used by Chinese Immortals. Here, fan is considered an auspicious symbol as it is said to also help drive away evil.

This is quite common for light industrial business offices where the main wooden door opens outwards. In these three pictures, you will see that the owners have used a twin glass doors as added `protection'. As you can see the sky-blue coloured wooden doors open outwards. The owner used two keiloons to guard the entrance of the office. And there is another figurine to usher in good fortune. Warmest Regards, Cecil
