In my opinion, the base star is less of an importance. Thus both the mountain and water star is often looked at more closely;

Clue: Yin = even number While Yan = odd number

Frankly, Feng Shui is a holistic approach. And without going thru any Triage or trouble-shooting; it is not fair to pin-point the sink as the culprit (be it major or minor). As I had mentioned, previously:- 1. Shapes and Forms: not just the four walls of your home; the exterior does play an important and vital role in the Feng Shui of a home. 2. Often, a home has around more than 3 or 4 major leaks to cause a drain. 3. Kindergarten Feng Shui; In the past, such practices prevail. Where North = career etc... But this is 2011. Such practises should not be recurring. Thus unless a proper Triage or investigations is done; no one really knows the main cuase of your "leak"

How is our Auspicious Dates Analysed? Please be advised that our Auspicious Dates are choosen based on the following factors:- Key Alamac influence - is considered (ie whether day clashes / harms / punishes with the current year). Note: This isn't the most important influence as this only denotes a generate day's influence. ie even if the day itself is good or bad it does not mean that everyone on this planet will enjoy the same auspicious or inauspicious influence. ie tung shu/alamac day is inauspicious Wood Rat day, but if the person is Strong Water person, this day benefit that person a lot more. Suitability to Ba Zi - Whether the day is suitable to the ba zi is very important, as a inauspicious Tung Shu / Alamac date does not mean it won't benefit the person. Combinations or Clashes to Ba Zi - Whether the day is suitable to the ba zi is very important, as a inauspicious Tung Shu / Alamac date does not mean it won't benefit the person. Special Significance - Whether the day is like Qing Ming etc. Most people choosing wedding dates would not want to marry in Qing Ming month. Overall Analysis - Suitability to ba zi of one or two person, whether any clashes, any overall significance plus finally tung shui/alamac influence. Often it is very hard to find one that can fix all factors, so as long as most influence are considered auspicious, that is a good day for you. Because our dates considers the above factors, as such the dates analysed are extremely personalised to individual person(s) as it considers the individual Ba Zi. This means the dates are your very own individual good or bad dates. As such, no one/two person(s) will have the same good or bad dates. As such, the dates analysed for you will not necessary be similiar to a general Tung Shu forecast which usually does not consider the individual's bazi. Therefore, even if the Tung Shu forecast says that it is a good day, but if your own bazi clashes with the day, it may not be as good as a less auspicious Tung Shu date but more suitable or does not clash with your bazi. This holds true for wedding dates, move-in dates and dates for any auspicious events. Thus generic is being too simplistic. How can a single date be inauspicious for everyone? Might as well the nation declare a curfew and keep everyone from doing a specific activity.

These are some considerations: 1. Both toilet directly above bed-head and kitchen below bed are considered as "commonsense" Feng Shui. 2. Why? 2.1. Fire rise-upwards. And there are concerns of a firebreaking out in the kitchen and fire rising towards the masterbedroom (bed area)= kinda of like being cooked. 2.2. What is worse if the piping is directly above the bed. If it does leak... think aboutwhat kind of juice will flow downwards towards the bed.

You wrote: "My only problem is, they are charging 3k+" This is not your only problem. In my opinion, it is BULL-SHIT.

1. The stove is traditionally positioned lower than the sink in most cases. 2. In Singapore, there are over 3,000 condominiums and landed properties where the stove and sink are often at the same height, so the sink being higher than the stove is not a major concern. 3. Following the example from the previous point, it is possible to have both the sink and stove at the same level. 4. Many condominiums opt for a stove cum sink table top that is around 34 inches in height. 5. It is recommended to use 34 inches as the standard table height, as it is the most practical choice. However, 33 inches can also be considered. 6. To be on the safe side, 34 inches is a good option, as it allows for a margin of error in case the contractor makes a mistake. 7. Any height between 33 inches and 35 inches is considered acceptable for the stove cum sink table top. In Summary " The main point of the text is that the traditional concern of having the sink higher than the stove is no longer a primary concern, especially in Singapore where many condominiums have the sink and stove on the same level. The recommended standard table height for the stove cum sink is 34 inches, providing a safe range of 33 to 35 inches to accommodate potential contractor mistakes or variations. " Cecil Lee, Geomancy.net PostScript: For the installation of a standard sized built-in dishwasher, it is important to ensure that the height of the table-top falls within the range of 35" to 36" inches in order to accommodate the appliance. This requirement also applies to the installation of a front loading washing machine in a similar slot.

These are some considerations: 1. The most important key consideration is: how desperate one is to move-in? 2. For example, if one has no constrains such as "forced" to move on or the 7th lunar month; then try to move-in after that month. 3. But, if one no choice; then to play safe; the act of sleeping in the new home would be a better choice. 4. Thus, if you can or may do all the things; but also sleep one night (or place a set of both partner's night clothing on each side of the bed) and also try to cook (and if can bathe, sleep and cook) would be an added bonus before the 7th month.

In general, there is no right or wrong answer. As this is a relatively new occupation or industry. Some may consider those directly on the Stock Exchange floor - stock brokers / remisers as the Fire element (marketing or sales of shares). Underwriters of shares could be considered as belonging to the metal element. For example, a Banking group underwrites the shares.

This photos literally shows plants at corners. (Photos taken outside a restaurant at Vivo City)

This feature wall showing a procession of a traditional Chinese wedding. The feature wall is part of a restaurant's welcoming mural. Location: Vivo City. Very unique mural. Symbolically; the procession seems auspicious. As it looks like a crowd of people "marching" into the restaurant! Thus, seems meaningful.

These are a range of interesting sculptures at HDB Tah Ching Road flats which TOP this year.

This well known local store located in Vivo City has a water feature (in the form of a water fall) just bhind the payment counter...

These are some of the considerations: 1. Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, West sector is considered as belonging to the "white tiger". And based on this concept; it is not good to have a water feature especially one that resembles a "hungry mouth" such as a circular water position, here. 2. The other is Flying Star Feng Shui. As many are well aware; Flying Star depends on time dimensions. Thus, it is not so simple as asking can I place a pond or waterfall there (west). Flying Star also needs to know the "period" and also best to plot an "accurate" Flying star chart to determine the flying star numbers at that sector.....

So long as one stick to the common handrail designs will be absolutely fine.

If you want to know specifically which Flying Star sector; then the attached Geomancy.net's easy to read illustration is attached.

Frankly the Chinese luck system consists of : Heaven, Earth and Human Luck factors. To say whether; is the red wallet sufficient or not would often be looked at in the holistic manner understanding also the above three factors. Technically, based on the Five Elements concept; one can only say "it is acceptable" for a strong earth person to have "red".

In my opinion, you might as well use this ring-tone. And whenever your phone rings; (pretend) to take out your RED wallet

1. "It's all in the mind". 2. Anyway, to a Chinese red is always (suppose) to be an auspicious colour. 3. Again, one of the reasons why many Chinese restaurants use chilli red in their decor .. some say is similar to what you had mentioned! Suppose to "make one hungry" that was one fable mentioned with this colour. 4. Fortunately, you were not born during my time... if so; if you were to be walking on the streets; the Internal Security Department of SGP (ISD) were very active then; and they may mistaken you for a COMMY (communist). Carrying Mao's Red book. 5. But if transported to China in the 1960's to 1970's it would be different.. you could end up as a Hero! And promoted to the levels of Party Cadre! 6. Hahaha! Today is 2011. Even if you decare that you are a COMMY... no one will ever believe in you! They most likely think that you are (no offence) "Ah Gua".... 7. Anyway... it is all about feeling good factor! If you feel excellent or good flashing the red wallet; by all means! HINT: In addition; this is a good sign as.. you can also say that you are working towards getting that Prancing Horse ride! It's red goes well with your red wallet!

Based on the Five Elements Concept; yes in theory for a strong metal person; under the "destructive element" Fire helps a strong metal person. Thus, what you you mention is acceptable. It would be inauspicious if the person is a weak metal person. Off-the track remarks: Based on stereo-typing; many of us would perceive this person as a female. Asin most ofour mind; which male person would carry red wallet. However, your login name suggests otherwise Reference: http://talk.geomancy.net

1. Please note that the report considers three factors: Eight House, Flying Star and Ba Zi of the breadwinner. 2. Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the living; the facing direction is important. 3. For Yin Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the dead; then refer to what you mentioned, below. 4. The Flying Star Period 7 applies; only thing is that under Period 8; the #8 are important for this period. Majority of the time; each sector will still depend on the 81 combinations or interactions of the Mountain star vs the Water star.

These are some considerations: 1. You did not mention how his MIL died. 2. Usually, if it is old age or common ailments such as a heart attack or even terminal cancer etc... In my opinion, there is no major concern with it. 3. In my country; 80 percent of the time; the body (was) cremated. And if it is via cremation; even best as cremation is neutral vs burial. 4. Anyway, frankly, all of us one may must perish. And as mentioned; if it is through natural death; then most of the time no issue.

In my opinion, although the workmanship as you mentioned is outstanding; From my personal experience; I strongly believe; that it may be a "newer" version is that I only seen the dark (chocolate coloured) faces or skin-toneturn-up around 20 to 30 years ago. In addition; the older "antiques" of Fu Lu Shou were not as elaborate as the ones you had. Usually, again I believe the older ones all have beautiful natural coloured faces that mimic natural skin tone colour. Furthermore, what makes me think that it is new is the mandarin character on the first figurine (which is Shou) - which is often not found on antiques and the character is not as well "written". Thus, in the past, especially such figurines that were 50 to 60 years old - I have never seen "chocolate coloured faces or skin-tone. Well, I may be wrong.

These are some considerations: 1. There are no right or wrong answers for the education industry to belong to the Wood or Water Element. IT DEPENDS! EDUCATION = WOOD ELEMENT = TECHNOCRATS2. For example, training thus education can be considered as belonging to the WOOD industry. I believe you are a Singaporean. 2.1 And for those who had gone thru Singapore education; especially Primary One (Grade 1 to 6); Secondary School and even Pre-University; majority of us merely regurgitate what we have learnt or simply route learning and reproducing the answers. 2.2 Just imagine a plant. Many plants grow skywards and "straight" and in our education system when I was in it is a no-brainer or many who achieve the highest grade and education become risk adverse. 2.3. Compared to those who were more "hungry". I am just illustrating Singapore education in the 1960s to 1980's and even today. 2.4 For example, many who had little education or at that time went to polys had "nothing" to loose; as if they were to work in say a bank or institutions would be the sandwiched class. 2.5. I am not saying that our education system (WAS) no good; but rather; how many become entrepreneurs or successful businesspersons? Many of the educated would play safe and become a salaried worker of sorts: join the civil service; join the army; join MNCs etc.. EDUCATION = WATER ELEMENT = ENTREPRENEURS3. As we all know; water element hallmark is fluidity... which has a higher content towards : "CREATIVITY". 4. For those solely studying under the Singapore Brand are experts in "vomitting" out the answers usually in uncreative ways. 5. But, if one went overseas especially in the West or US; education here has (in my opinion) be closer to Water element. As route learning or "vomitting" out stereo-type answers is not the main focus. 6. For example, in an MBA course; and depending on the University and field of study; some subjects need route learning or principles such as Accounting and Finance while others lean towards creativity e.g. Marketing course. 7. Thus, depending on what one teach is important. Thus if one teaches Maths; Science and Finance; then often it could belong more towards the Wood element. But if one is into those Graphic Design, Computer Programming etc.. then lean more towards Water element. 8. Thus, I believe for most Singaporeans who had gone thru our "play-safe" education system; cannot be blamed to BELIEVE that a career cannot belong to TWO different groups. 9. As a Singaporean, based on logic; this is not right! " How can you say that a career is Wood and then suddenly say that it could be Water"... sort of thing... It is a pity that most Singaporeans will always end up being a salaried worker. That is why, perhaps, for the last 10 years; on average we have 100,000 foreign talents and many are "our bosses". Most likely, these bosses education system lean towards "WATER" while our SGP is "Wood" - clean and sterlie education. 10. So tell me: education belongs to the WOOD or WATER element? IT DEPENDS! 11. Anyway, being a strong earth : both wood and water are acceptable.
