General Help

Dear Hoa Luong, Thanks for your many clarifications. Yes, overall, red is considered an auspicious colour. From your information, I personally feel that it is OK for you to continue with the red painted frontage doors of your convenience store. And this should not have any adverse contrast with the `water' grey colour. Overall, red is indeed an auspicious colour for business. In particular, for example, if it has brass ornaments on it (not compulsory thou). Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Peck Wun, Off-white refers to a colour that is white but has a tinge of grey. Or it can also be considered as white with very light shades of other pigments e.g. red, blue, green or yellow. When one look at off-white colour, it is exactly white but slightly duller white. Many of the new paints are white in colour but when we look it at an angle, it looks more like the e.g. pink. Here, very minimal pink is added to these colours. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, Due to many queries on the type of Ba Gua mirror to use, I have complied information on the various types. You need to login to the forum and goto this conference: Photo Tours of Interest (with pictures) Look for the recent messages e.g Part I, Part II & Part III. Where I not only list a description of each type but also show pictures of them. Under the above, you should use the type as mentioned under Part I - Ba Gua mirrors - the models applicable for your case are Model A, B, C or D type of Ba Gua mirror. Especially if there is a sharp angle of another building aimed at your main entrance door. The above file has explained the various `models'. If it is…

Dear Boss Peng, Thanks for the site/lot map. I now have better picture of the lot. In my opinion, this plot `lot 2' is not favourable since, it is downward sloping behind the plot of land and also between the North-West location. If the slope is not properly redressed, usual problem would be the result of financial problems for the breadwinner. If you can try to forgo this plot i.e. lot 2. As I find it inauspicious. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Wendy, It is good to have the pyramid type roof or `swiss cottage' type of roof. The threat you mention can be neutralised and this is a consideration. Overall, besides the other points I mentioned, if you have the time, use the Eight House template to see which house is best suited for the breadwinner. In particular, it would be better if the main door is not the `death or disaster' sector for the breadwinner. For other family members and the breadwinner, check to see - in particular if the bedroom is suited for each family member - where possible. The other important considerations are the the toilet(s) should preferably not be at the frontage of the house. And if …

Further to what I mentioned earlier, there can also be a 6th category i.e. Type 6 - Houses that no human can live in. Fortunately, this type of house is either rare or has been built badly under shapes and forms. Where, one can still stay in the house but may bring calamity to the owners. General example: frontage facing a hill. Or `chopping' off the head of the house to build a new extension. Or a house where on both sides is surrounded by a house on each side. Here, both breadwinner can `die' in the space of 1 year after they have moved in. Note: this type of house is `rarer'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Kelly, Yes, although it would be better to look at pictures, from your description, your house looks or rather sounds Ok to me. For off-site audit, I personally handle the all off-site audits. In many of the off-site audits, many of our clients either fax us and/or if they need urgent responses can use reliable courier services such as FedEX and DHL. So far, many of our US clients use FedEX - which has benn proven to be very good. Or if one is not in a hurry sent the information thru snail mail i.e. postal service. Which has a turnaround time of just one or two working days. Alternatively, scanned images or scan layout are equally acceptable. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Yeow Leong, 1. Usually, 6 rod metal (or alumnium hollow rod) windchime can be used as a `cure' against Flying Star sectors which have imbalances such as numeral #5 or a combination of it. Or other sector imbalances 2. Thus, I would assume that your FS practitioner had identified that location or the two sectors i.e. North and North-West as requiring constant metal cure. 3. Where the metal windchime (6 rod) represents "Big metal" is used to constanly hammer on a bad sector. 4. From my opinion, if your house is built under Period 7 i.e. between 1984 to-date; usually (from my own analysis); two areas that can use windchime is East and South. 5. For me, so far, if the h…

Dear Piet, To be honest, the only thing is to relocate the toilet. But, may not be practical or allowed by the owner of the second floor. The only way is to relocate the toilets. Otherwise, thre is really nothing much one do. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Niap Vun, Please see below:- The above is a stand method to usher in good luck to an office in the `Traditional' method. I am aware that not many people may want to practise the above especially if the office is situated in an open area (no privacy). And it can be rather inconvenient. Frankly, this is the only method. It is not possible to elaborate on Shapes & Form in a single message. But you may have to read more about it. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. In my opinion, it would be better to `fix' the leak. 2. Overall, using a metal windchime or metal at sectors are relatively safe: a. In past forum messages, I mentioned that metal element is a common cure for most of the Flying Star ailments. b. Therefore, there is relatively no harm using it. The only repercussion of using a windchime wrongly is or the result is problems related to sleep. It is felt that playful imps may give us nightmare and for those who cannot sleep properly afterwards, should remove them. 3. Even if North West is considered a good sector, windchime does not automatically become a good candidate. Usually, it has to be analysed within a …

Dear Yang Ming, I like to add that, in my opinion, I am very confident that the "Black Hat" model is not viable in the Far East especially Singapore, Malaysia and Hong Kong and Taiwan. This is because, the "Black Hat" is based on a `marketing ploy'. I feel Black Hat is not viable for the following reasons:- 1. Locally in Singapore, the traditional Feng Shui practitioner does not mix products with their consultation. 2. Since products are readily available in a wide area in Singapore, there is NO REASON for a Feng Shui practitioner to tout such goods. 3. Unlike in the West, where perhaps, some of the products are rarer to find. And usually, some FS practitioners (authenti…

Dear Anon, 1. Based on 965, where 9 represents fire, six metal element and 5 (bad Yellow five or earth), the 9 with 5 is not ideal as fire (9) enhances earth (5). 2. A 6 (metal) may not be enough in such a situation. 3. Many FS practitioners, consider a computer as belonging to the fire element. Therefore, if you can, try to add more `metal' e.g. 6 coins to further destroy the two combinations of fire-earth. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, Please see below:- - In my opinion, in general, it is best if one can not to purchase the house. - Perhaps, you can also ask the existing owner what is the rationale for them selling the unit. 1.What is your view on the effect of the station & the lane and the unit??s overall feng shui and it??s cure? Frankly, it is NOT practical to `cure' such a Yang effect coming from the Fire station. Not practical because, one has to literally close the curtains or close the main door most of the time. 2. Will it benefits a breadwinner of weak earth element perhaps needing more fire? This is to do more with which direction the main door is facing and whether it mat…

Dear Anon, Please note that these are general statements. But it does not necessarily mean that it may apply to all units in the vicinity. Your new set of question simply is too general since there are too many variations in Housing board flat layouts and locations. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Nathalie, In Feng Shui, there are two concepts:- 1. study facing a good direction. You can use the free Feng Shui report to look at it. However, caution is that it is always better to have the study table position based Good Shapes and Forms than (para 1 i.e. nice to have). For example, if the best direction is to place the study table next to the bedroom door; this may be distracting to your eldest son even if the direction is good! 2. Another traditional idea is that if it window of the bedroom open out and to the right (a distance away); there is a tall e.g. tower, this signifies, scholaristic achievement. Many FS practitioners encourage the placement of a small f…

Dear Kathy, 1. Frankly, it is better to place your bed in a good Shapes and Forms position. 2. Some examples of favourable/unfavourable bed positions can be seen under this url:- http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-bedroom.htm 3. Many of us, do have `opposites'. And it is best that the person who has more auspicious influence sleep closer to that intangible force. While, the partner sleeps further away. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Jasmine, Ideally, it is good if the house can face good directions of both parties. But as you had mentioned, one person is the `East' house while the other is the `West' house. "Unfortunately" in Feng Shui, there is a consideration: Who is the breadwinner? In traditional Feng Shui, (like almost everywhere in the world); the breadwinner is often assumed as the man of the house. Or the male figure. Even today, we still often consider the male (husband) as the breadwinner unless: the husband is not working or a house-maker. Or if the male's salary is far below that of the female. In the bedroom, even if one partner's sector is not so good, (if possible) the partner wh…

Dear Wasis, What I meant is that often, at the frontage of the house, has many openings. For example, at the frontage; there is a main door e.g. 2 wood doors plus a full set of sliding glass doors for the living room. In such a situation, the mouth of the house is too big. (In proportion to the frontage of the house). It is similar to the layout mentioned in this message. Where, there is a main door and immediately next to it is a balcony. This two are taken to mean a large `mouth'. Where the house is not proportionate i.e. too many openings in relation to the `frontage'. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Michael, In my opinion, Traditional Feng Shui Schools do not practise fixed Ba Gua template or `Black Hat Sect' Feng Shui. Try to do a SEARCH in this forum for `Black Hat' and you can find out the answers why it is not applied here or by any other Traditional Feng Shui Schools. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Trying to attach my drawing again because I think it didn't succeed last time.

Further to what I had mentioned:- Flying Star Feng Shui is used in particular to look at the frontage (water star - if any) of a landed property or locations where there can reasonably be a mountain star. Thus, as mentioned earlier, if Metal elements or Water elements are detected, water or flat level areas can be enhanced - especially if Metal stars are present. For mountain stars, it can be located at the side of the house (next to main entrance) or at the back of the house - if a mountain star is found at that specific sector). The above together with Shapes and Forms MUST be taken under consideration, TOGETHER and should not be viewed separately. Other than the above,…

i tried to send you an atache file for the sketch of my bed room again

Dear Ai Ling, In my opinion, this is not so bad as compared to two equal mirrors that totally `split' a person into two. So far, I have yet to come across any major problems with what you had mentioned. Warmest Regards, Cecil
