Case Study: A waste of time allocating space for Urban Farming & Herb Garden. Why?
Extract from Whistler Grand's Brochure:
This was marketed by ERA Project Marketing for Sengkang Grand Residences (a sister site also by CDL (Hong Leong):-
Case Study: A Gardeners’ Cabin to grow veggies and spices?
Really?
Marketing Agents should know better or do proper research before posting such claims.
(Below: Even after 6 minutes after fogging, the last remaining smoke still loiter around the third storey or higher, depending on the wind conditions...)
In reality, all condo developments are required to do a weekly fogging. No exceptions .. more so ... at likely mosquito breeding areas of a development.
Go cultivate, collect and cook the veggies and use the spices... that are weekly fogged...
Most likely the food will certainly taste unique.. but unfortunately may be toxic... and cancerous, please.
P.S. Note: Photos are not of Whistler Grand. Added by me for illustration purposes, only.
Often, even the Swimming pool gets the fogging chemicals.... takes a few hours for the water filter to do it’s work ...
More...
Location : Prive EC.. no more herbs.. just regular shrubs planted where the spices were suppose to be.
Even if herbs or spices are available: the maxim - see but not eat applies, here
Huh? These are landscape plants! Not spices.. LOL:

Interlude: I bet you did not know this!
Often, I am always very curious to find out a certain word...
General Knowledge: What does GRAND mean in French?
1. Whistler Grand, Piermont GRAND, Sengkang GRAND Residences? Where all three developments are by the developer CDL (a subsidiary of Hong Leong).
2. While the English meaning of GRAND could also mean Luxurious or Luxury.
3. The French has a totally different meaning all together.
3.1. The adjective for GRAND in French is: Great, large, big, wide, high.
3.2. In the past, Renault has two versions of their Scenic. The larger 7-seater version was called GRAND Scenic.
3.2.1. This simply means that their GRAND model is larger, bigger, wider than the standard model. LOL Nothing to do with Grandeur.. LOL LOL
3.2.2. Citroen also calls their larger model GRAND C4 Picasso 7 Seater.
3.2.3. This is more of a French thing...
3.3. Thus if we use French, don't you think that the development's title can be misleading?
4. This is because, nowadays most floor plans are much smaller. And cannot be compared to a home built in the 1970's to 1980's. LOL
5. If one is a "French man" can perhaps go claim that the advert and the actual development's name is totally misleading..
6. Luckily, other than our mother tongue... Singapore... is inclined towards British English... not French.. LOL
P.S. Next time, if you do invite a French man to your new home... do relate this interesting fact to them...
Also, I used to own a Renault Grand Scenic that is why I am pretty familiar with this word.. LOL

Grab customer: “Accidentally inputs destination as Botannia”
Taxi arrives...
Grab customer: “Enters taxi”
Taxi Driver: “Are you MR Lim? To Botannia?”
Grab customer: “Playing with his phone.. not attentive... Yes! Quick...Go...Lah! “
(Above: Botannia at West Coast!)Grab customer; “Hey! This is not PARC Botannia!”
Another day, another mix up, again! LOL

Hi Master
Wanted to clarify if really all the 3 room face E1?
Because for instance, BLK 38B, unit 322 the main windows are facing north. Hence based on what I've read from this forum so far, the facing direction should be north?
Appreciate your reply. Thanks
Yes, stack/unit 322 is considered North facing.
Reference:

Just T.O.P. Luxus Hill Drive
Even new and modern terrace homes also has a side gate built into the main gate...
Another consideration (not Feng Shui) is that all auto gates are suppose to swing into the home.
Unlike many older houses where the owners “illegally swing” it outwards. This is because an innocent pedestrian could be caught out if the walk right towards the five foot way and slam against the opening gate...

Annually I would visit a client at Penjuru Close.
KL style wanton mee. Just $3/-.
The small amount of their special black sauce does wonder to the noodles!
This is the first time, I refrain from adding or stirring the chilli sauce with the noodles.
Very fragrant, noodles chewy and the char siew nice and flavourful.
The three wantons were also generous and lovely.
Wasted, that it is an annual affair!
Hope my client invites me for more years to come!

Inviting Kuan Yin (Guan Yin) to New House + what is binding elements to select the best colour of Guan Yin
in Chinese Culture (General)
These are generally some important factors:-
1. If one has the time, please go through this article. Higher probability might invite the wrong things as found in one of the articles on "Devil's gate":
2. Or if so happens when a person is in LOW spirits or suffering depression = low Yang energy thus can attract Yin elements into the home. Here, a DUD Guan Yin is a good place for these entities to hide themselves into.
2.1. Recently, a few months ago, a new client revealed that not too long ago, he was in very low spirits and whilst walking at a park outside Hougang Parkview... an entity followed him into his HDB home.
2.2. Previously also around 12 years ago, a previous owner left a Guan Yin statute and qi lin. He bought the 2nd storey unit and created a niche for the Guan Yin. To put the story short, yes, this Guan Yin was breached by an entity that kept on disturbing his children...
