1. Evergreen Park is a mid-sized condo with a total of 394 units. This development was built by Evergreen Park Pte Ltd and was completed in 1999. Tenure of land is 99 years. 2. In general, a first glance at this site and one may think that the blocks are layout in a haphazard way. But if we look carefully, majority of the blocks are aligned parallel with each other. And there are three satellite blocks that are slanted to the majority of the blocks. 3. For this development; qi can vary drastically from one stack to another stack! 4. One of the most inauspicious stack is stack 11. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui; it is literally squeezed between 09 - 10 with 06. Sta…

Although South facing (Flying Star Period 8 South 2) has overall good Feng Shui, however, many units facing south would be affected by "Fire-at-Heaven's gate". For example, just take note of this unit confirguration. Where the balcony faces South and the stove is directly on the NW compass direction. Thus this unit suffers from "Fire at Heaven's gate". Many of such units are dotted within the ClementiWood's condominium. Will may have a bearing in the male breadwinner's career as well as 'no luck - from heaven'.

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. It not only makes the fa?ade or the frontage "ugly" even if there are some claddings to hide the air-con compressors. Such layout plans were uncommon and frown upon 10 to 30 years ago.

Dear All, Another good indicator when house-hunting (especially for more afforadable 99 year lease) apartments is to take note of: 1. "Unsold" units in a development that had already obtained TOP for more than 1 year and yet no take up for "choice units" as found under this relatively new developer's developments:- http://www.ntuc-choicehomes.com/available.htm Here, they have listed three `not so' hot selling properties especially Tropical Springs and Rivervale Crest:- 1. Tropical Springs It should have been a good sell considering that it is in walking distance of the Simei MRT station. But, yet choice units remained unsold. 2. Rivervale Crest I had…

Costa Grove Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans costa-grove.pdf Estimated Completion Date: December 2025 The name of this development will be updated as soon as it is released for sale. Total of 1070 units of 2-room flex, 3, 4 & 5 bedrooms

Nowadays, the wall separating the two bedrooms is a "thin" dry wall. Take extra care (if any) if the TV set is mounted close to the bed-head of the bedroom 2. In case of EMF radiation leak. A few of the other layouts e.g. 3 Bedrooms also may share the same concern.

This article shares light into the value of investing in a HDB apartment that is especially close to both MRT and amenities. Due to the government's relaxation of rules for renting out an entire HDB apartments, some have asked their parents to move-in with them. And have rented out their parent's HDB apartment especially in areas like Holland Village, Queenstown etc... HDB apartments does not costs that much as compared to a condo, yet, some can sometimes yield higher or equavalent rentals to such condos....

Thomson Grand just TOP.

Flo Residence @ Punggol Field Walk: 1. Frankly, although the stacks / units are reasonably priced; 2. I feel that this development equally has not so good Shapes And Forms Feng Shui. 3. The worst stack is #19 of Block 9. As it is in close proximity with it's neighbouring HDB Block 169A of Punggol Nautilus (169A Punggol Field). Please see illustration. 4. Furthermore, this development has a rectangular missing corner that is ear-marked for a proposed church. 4.1. In the near future, especially Block 3 and Block 5 pool facing stacks would daily be reminded of "going to church" as most certainly the church's spine in the form of a cross would be obvious on it's roof. Howev…

Waterway Sunrise II Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans waterway-sunrise-ii.pdf HDB Waterway Sunrise II BTO launched in February 2017 The planners of this estate literally took advantage of it's 1-storey basement car-park and placed both of this site's Precinct Pavilion at this basement. The good thing is that the precinct pavilions are out-of-sight of all units. Thus whenever there is a funeral, it will be a "below-the-ground" event. This is not-common but lets see. Hopefully the incense or such burnings would not trigger the smoke detectors. Alternatively, the authorities may just ban such things during a funeral. Frankly,…

Part 6: Kingsford Waterbay Condo Blocks 66 & 68 1. Blocks 66 & 68 have stacks that are either NW2 or SE2 facing directions. 2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui NW2 has the auspicious water wealth #8 at it's frontage. Blocks 66 & 68 with stacks facing the swimming pool fulfil this condition. 2.1 Other than this, the rest of the sectors on this home has imbalances. 2.2 If the master bedroom or a bedroom is located at West sector of the home: be careful of frequent sickness 3. SE2 facing has the water wealth star and it also faces a pool of water i.e. Sungei Serangoon. 3.1 The rest of the stars in other sectors are inauspicious. An…

Dear Daphne, In a tropical country such as ours, there is a quirk with the application of the East/West group of persons or known as Eight House. This is especially so, if the living room; several bedrooms and even the master bedroom is `bathe' by the afternoon sun (West facing) or even the morning sun (East facing). One significant concern is if these rooms face another block of flats. The direct sun light and reflected (sha qi) from other close-by buildings will totally reduce the advantage of having a house face our good direction. I feel that such cosmic `radiation' (especially with the ozone layer hole) may be detrimental to many of us in the long run. Especially i…

Erh.. How do I climb down into the pool. Or how do I climb up the pool? This is not a Magician trick... Just that the developer placed an extensive guard rail to prevent anyone climbing down or pushed down the steps into the Hillvista condo pool. Thus, don't worry it is not an illusion! When this condo TOP; for sure, the barrier will be lifted. Please don't quote me on this! If you don't believe; when I next visit this condo during TOP; will show you a photo proof of it! Cheers!

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 …

Punggol Emerald Sales Brochure: Site Plan and Floor Plans punggol-emerald.pdf However, for Fernvale Grove; really what a pity; the architect placed the multi-storey car-park (MSCP) next to or as a buffer between the estate with the Sengkang Riverside park! The architect should have swopped the MSCP with three blocks: 472A, 472B, 472C and 471C. See sample illustration.

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 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. Here, this low rise development has roof structure made of (steel) as opposed to wooden plank roofs etc... Many of it's projects are for the statutory boards owned by the government:- http://www.simlian.com.sg/CorpInfo/Construction/SLC/projects.htm It is worth to note that it's…
