Sennett Residence and Flying Star Feng Shui Majority of the stacks/units in this development either face Flying Stars Period 8 E3 or W3. E3 facing stacks: It is such a waste that the combined auspicious wealth stars are wasted at the "rear" of the apartment. This is usually where the kitchen and yard are located. W2 facing stacks:It is good to have clear space or a water position at the living room side. As the frontage of this facing has the double auspicious combinations of water wealth stars. The only drawback is also the DIRECT afternoon sun. Wealth but "cooked" or "roasted" by the afternoon sun.

The Sim Lian Group is an up and coming developer. Their url: http://www.simlian.com.sg Previously; little known to many, it is a main con as opposed to being a developer. Overall, having seen many of the developments which it is th main con; I am very impressed by their build quality. In the past, even developers like MCL Land, use the company as the main con for their Seletar Springs condominium.

Sims Ville Condominium was completed in 1998. TOP same year. Developer: Sims Place Realty Ltd (CapitalLand) - formerly developed by DBS.

Many of Singapore's oldest Shopping malls or shopping centres are opened in the late 1970s. Many of these shopping centres are now tucked away with poor mix of shops. Many of the older ones are popular with renovation contractors and maid agencies. These shops are not a popular draw of crowds in Singapore who wants to relax and `window shop'. Many of these shops were developed under Period 6. And when Period 7 started, the fortunes at these shops begin to wane. In period 8, or after year 2003 (giving it a further 1 year) before Period 8's influence start to increase while Period 7's go into obscurity. It is interesting to note this phenomenon as we will see many business …

Case Study 1A: The " Smart Pneumatic Waste Conveyance System (PWCS) to optimise the deployment of resources for cleaner and fuss-free waste disposal" 1. In my opinion, Hong Leong /CDL seems to be an early adopter of this Pneumatic Waste Collection System in many of of their new developments. 1.1. For this HDB BTO November 2020 launch, Champion Bliss, Urbanville, Tampines GreenCrest, Tampines GreenGlade, Tampines GreenOpal, Parc Residences all have this "SMART" PWCS. 1.2. Hopefully, the addition of the word SMART is something that is different from any of the past PWCS. 1.3. In fact, a PWCS or maybe not so "smart" ones will be installed at a condo = For…

Sophia Hills Condominium (a re-launch) It is essential to verify the accuracy of the Sales Brochure's site-map against the local street directory to ascertain whether the North marking on the Sales Brochure's site-map is correct.

Consequently, if one were to follow or rely on this North marking without question, it could lead to an unpleasant surprise later on... Is the sales brochure reliable? The positive aspect is that the margin of error is not merely a 5-degree discr…

Stars of Kovan condo & Floor Plans. > Type C1 It is such a waste that the window openings of bedrooms 2 and 3 open towards the air-con ledge.
