Singapore Property Review

This freehold property is a standalone `point-block' building. (More details can be found under the attached article: Source & credit - Today's Newspaper) As mentioned in past messages, the most simple of designs. Where air or qi flows all around the block.

The swimming pool in your backyard or condominium contains a common chemical used in your house for disinfecing and cleaning. In the past, when I was young, went weekly to the Chinese Swimming Club. Constantly the shower area would be damp and wet. But surprisingly, there is totally no greenish / black algae found anywhere in the dressing / bathing area. This is because, chlorine, the chemical used in the swimming pool kills most bacteria and it controls algae. Today, some of the cleaning liquids contains the simple chemical chlorine. And instead of scraping furiously to remove algae from a toilet. Just spray on the chlorine and presto! Algae growth halts in it's roots …

The following developments are handed over for those who can take over the units before the Chinese 7th month, this year:- 1. Changi Rise Condo (Just TOP a few weeks ago) 2.

Springside Walk Villas Others: Looks like Nuovo EC is ready but, TOP is just a stone-throw away! In my opinion, this EC took quite sometime. But in my opinion, in long term, because of it's proximity to the MRT and Yio Chu Kang market plus schools, a very good buy for first time home owners. Congratulations on new home owners! who are collecting their keys. BTW…

Part 1: The Alps Residences at Tampines Avenue 10 & roof-lines of the ancillary buildings/trellis 1. The roof-lines of the ancillary buildings / trellis at The Alps Residences is considered unfriendly. 2. Please see attachment. 2.1. For building "A" which is the club-house cum function room; the building is very close to a particular block/stack. 2.2. I have highlighted in yellow a unit at 2nd storey that may have a potential poison arrow aimed towards it from the club-house roof-line. 2.3. There is another trellis court-yard. Which I had marked in red as "B". This court-yard is also close to a block/stack/unit. Thus it may be a potential sha …

Feng Shui of Amore EC in Punggol: Type CJ / CJt CJg Not ideal for the stove to be sharing the same wall as the shower piping and WC.

1. What you had described is very similar to the development known as The Meyer Place. This is the link to it:- http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=19&mid=5532&new= 2. In all developments, there are often excellent units, good units and inauspicious units. This depends on which floor, what is the external influence of that particular development. Thus no two homes in a same development is similar. 3. In the above example, the unit " achieves " a quantum leap in Feng Shui by "sucking" wealth from the duplex bungalow - directly within it's development. This bungalow formerly belongs to a wealthy merchant : Tan Lark Sye. 4. Location, loc…

The morale of the story is that the rich gets richer, by investing in time and effort to secure (expert) help in finding a good home. The poor as usual, gets into a cycle of poverty: Imagine buying a home equivalent to a ten year old car. No matter how much effort is done (later) to improve their home, the Feng Shui of the home cannot turn it into a "gem" of a car! If one bought a run-down toyota, how to turn it into a lovely 7 series BMW? Again, it is like a family of 8 buying a home equivalent of a small Chinese cherry car! How to fit 8 persons in the car! No way! Have to purchase a car the equivalent of an MPV!

The Asana by Woh Hup Holdings Mr. Lawerence Wong, the Minister of National Development, has stated that the government will not be able to undertake en bloc sales of all 99 leasehold flats in the future. There is no substitute for owning freehold land, especially in a prestigious location. Given Singapore's geography, older estates will conform to the island's profile, beginning in the East at Katong, where similar landed properties are located in NW2/NW3 and SE2/SE3 orientations. Aside from a church located a short distance away and a school, this rectangular plot of land is primarily defined by its shape, which aligns with the Five Elements theory, catego…

Location: Bayshore Road / close to Upper East Coast Road and East Coast Parkway. Many of the south facing units which formerly had views towards the East Coast Park and sea view facing Indonesia is gradually being blocked. However, overall, this place still command good Feng Shui. (Please see my comments, below, later). Developer: Bayshore Park Pte Ltd, a subsidiary of Far East Organisation Tenure: 99 years TOP was in 1997 or around 6 years old. It has a total of 1,038 units ranging from 2, 3, 4 and penhouse. Because of its good location at the east i.e. district 15 / 16, price per sq feet can range from $580 to $750. Previously, two years ago, prices are as high as $590 …

The Balcony Wing *sucks* big time!

1. The Centris was suppose to TOP in May 2009. But it was TOP these few days. 2. It shares the same concept as the condo at Compass Point which is attached to Jurong Point with easy access to the new bus depot, MRT and the very busy Jurong Point mega shopping complex.

Since the contract to built the Circle-line is confirmed; try to do some homework to see if your current; future home falls within the vicinity of an MRT station within the circle-line:) Cheers!

The Clementi Canopy Condo by UOL The initial compass readings based on the Sale Brochure of The Clementi Canopy shows that this developments stacks either face NE1 (23 degrees) or SW1 (203 degrees). The main concern is that just 0.5 of a degrees or more and the facing changes to either N3 (e.g. 22.4 degrees) or S3 (e.g. 202.4 degrees) facing. The next few reviews, I will try to counter check it with streetdirectory.com. As the outlines are not up yet; but at least see if the sales brochure is "in the right direction".

1. Why was this development named as The Commodore? 1.1. The Commodore is located in Canberra, which was an important naval enclave within the former Sembawang Naval Base. It was named Canberra after a visiting Australian warship in 1937. 1.2. According to the Sales Brochure, The Commodore got it's name from the topmost naval officer in Singapore at that time - the Commodore Superintendent of the Royal Navy Dockyard. Source: National Heritage Board and the Australian War Memorial. 2. Will the current or former Chief of the Navy not only buy a unit here but stay there? LOL
