1. Before, I go into your question; there are also two "types" of Feng Shui. If we can generalise; there is the "White" Feng Shui and "Black" Feng Shui. 2. In Singapore, look at the area especially bordering Beach Road to Shenton Way; "Black" Feng Shui actually refers to buildings that try to "suck" wealth from neighbouring buildings. For example, The Gateway isa major concern as till today, there are lots of reports of hauntings especially "triangle" units or points in this building. 3. In the past, and even in the future or near future, some developers engage overseas Feng Shui practitioners, and these practitioners study that "current" period's landscape and advise …

Frankly, in my opinon, if it only happens once; most likely as you had earlier suspected could be due to "natural" circumstances. Does any family member(s) had any sort dream recently around the time the fell off. Other than that; seldom if any a cup could fall off.

Dear Jenny, Feng Shui has several flavours:- 1. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui Much of Feng Shui has to do with commonsense. For example, it is not favourable to have a toilet bowl above the main entrance. i.e. one day, if the pipe leaks, it may flow into the home. Another typical commonsense example, is a kitchen above the bedroom. Here, there can be a higher probability of a fire from the kitchen. And since fire/smoke rises upwards, it may affect the above rooms (bedroom). 2. Scientific forms of Feng Shui Using Compass School Feng Shui such as Eight House and Flying Star 3. Shapes and Forms Feng Shui Understanding qi and poison arrows that can affect the exte…

1. If you are strictly thinking of it in modern times: look at it this way: the last emperor of the Qing Dynasty abdicated his throne in 1911. 2. Nowadays; where got "Emperors". 3. Of course, in the past; any artists or artisan/craftsman that produce anything with the Five claw is taboo.. unless for official reasons. 4. Today, again in modern times; there will be those who no longer are scared of emperors and dare to produce 4 or 5 claw dragons... 5. So what is stopping these people from the "Feng Shui emporium" sellers to sell such things. 6. Look at it this way: If there are ready buyers (like yourself); there are also ready sellers. 7. It takes TWO hands to clap! Of c…

Dear Anon, In Singapore, a frog is quite rare sight. But not sure, how prevalent they are in your country. But alternatively, could be instead be a toad? A frog is known as a celestial cock and a symbol of a frog is common on a charm to act as protection. Both a toad and frog are known as "moon" creatures or creatures that are associated with the moon. For a toad, it symbolises longevity. No harm "chasing it" away so long as not harming them. In the past, the educated in China really hate the frogs / toad croaking as this affects their concentration in learning or work. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Anon, 1. If one does a FS audit, it is good to look at `alternative 1' and `alternative 2'. The alternatives (1 and 2) refers to your analysis of `what if I use the garage door' or use an alternative door your actual main door. 2. Here, we normally, try to see which has better Feng Shui. We then have a bigger picture of the two alternatives. 3. In Feng Shui, many Feng Shui experts believe that it is usually, the door that has your house number. From past experience, you still consider the new door e.g. garage door if you use it more than the main entrance door. So, thus it is best that you do an audit based on the direction of each door first. Warmest Regards, Cecil

Dear Joe, 1. In my opinion, this is far from the truth. 2. In fact, in our daily lives, what is more harmful are the unseen (cannot be seen to our naked eyes) such as e-coli bateria and pests like cockroaches etc... 3. Humans have always taken a liking for pets. And man's best friend is a dog. 4. Other animals, if they are kept clean are equally acceptable pets. 5. Often, many good children have grown up being responsible parents and lead a good life have often been associated with pets. 6. Keeping pets, and responsible pet care can teach a child to be responsible. 7. In fact, in my opinion, rearing pets comes under the category " Ren Cai " or Human / Man luck category. …

Generally, railways can pretty much be a sha qi depending on how the track cuts into the house. Even if it does not cut into the house, the common sense approach is that trains tend to be noisy. So noise is also another form of sha qi. So either way, if a railway track is too closed, then yes it isn't that ideal. Especially if yo…
