Bathroom Oppsite the Bedroom
Don't think it is an issue.

Bathroom Oppsite the Bedroom
1. The real concern (if any) is whether one is sleeping near a sewerage pipe. 1.1 For example, (see below), your bed is definitely not sharing the same wall as the WC as shown under marking in purple "X":- 2. If your dorm is on the ground floor; depending on where the sewerage pipe will flow towards an open sewerage system. If the flow is passing through your bed, less then ideal. 2.1 Also less than ideal if the bed is on a upper floor and the sewerage pipe runs like in the photo. Less likely as usually it will flow rom the red circle all the way down towards the ground level. And out sometimes as shown in the red line/arrow or to the opposite direction. 2.2 Just make sure that on a ground floor unit avoid sleeping above a sewerage pipe. (Again, up in the ceiling is not ideal, but alesser of a concern. 2.3. See below: Again, the emphasis is on the sewerage pipe(s). In blue is okay:-

HDB Hougang Meadows
This is how it looks like when mature frangipanni trees frequent shed their flowers and leaves. This is why frangipanni trees are often planted over graves. The fragrant flowers would often mask the smell from decaying bodies.

HDB Hougang Meadows
Not sure if one wants to call it a disadvantage; as the Frangipanni tree is notorious for shedding its flowers frequently. More so then it's leaves. Hopefully a baby or child does not place the flower(s) or leaves in their mouth as it can be toxic. Location: Bellewoods pool-side:

Child or kid friendly toilets
Both Bellewoods clubhouse and Bellewaters ECs have similar child or kid friendly toilets: with a kid WC + sink. Although this is quite common in many shopping Centres, it is often never given any priority in most condos or ECs

In the past there were no precinct pavilions
Another feature of a pre-year 2000 estate is that often, it has open car-park lots. And inevitably a central bin centre. Some of these bin Centres are combined with an attached Electrical sub-station or ESS.

In the past there were no precinct pavilions
HDB estates built before the year 2000 had no precinct pavilions. Thus a funeral may be held just below the deceased block. As shown in this example: Petir Road estate. Today, depending on the size of each HDB estate or precinct; there are between 1 to 2 such Pavilions per estate depending on it's size. Thus an estate with 500 to 700 units often has 1 precinct pavilion. But another larger estate of 800 to 1,500 units may have two Pavilions.

Illustration of a Five element water fountain enhancer (Old school 1980's Five elements correct but outdated design)
Lots more fountains.. The more traditional type: Round shape sitting on a cylindrical pedestal (red arrow):- This variant is similar to above. But instead of a rotating ball; water spouts 360 degrees from the centre circular mass:- Another close-up photo of the above:- Other designs..

Owner of this landed property opted for good air-flow
The owner of this landed terrace house opted for a light-weight gate. And it provides good ventilation into the house. The only drawback is that it afford less privacy, that's all. Actually, most homes prior to the year 2000 favours well ventilated fencing similar to above. But not as cool as this modern mesh design. Many today, opted for similar design as below. The gate does allow air ventilation plus provide added privacy:-

My Reservist Photo taken when I was 25 years old.
During my 30-month national service or 2 1/2 years, I was stationed at Beach Road Camp for the majority of the time. The photograph was captured in the late 1970s, prior to the construction of Raffles City. The camp was originally established as the Volunteers Corps before evolving into the People's Defence Force, also known as PDF. The PDF command was relocated to Clementi several years ago.

Bellewaters EC @ Anchorvale Crescent - Is Bellewaters EC still lucky for the next 20 years from 2024 till 2043? Find out, here
In my opinion, somehow the light tan Colour of The Central Rubbish bin door + no words; just a bin graphic tucked at the TOP right of the door makes it less obvious. Not perfect but so far a right move. Contrast this with the design at it's earlier sister development: Bellewoods which was developed earlier. The central rubbish bins had not only a larger icon; it was also placed lmore prominent at an adult's eye level:

Amber Skye @ 8 Amber Road
8 Amber Skye has stacks that either face Flying Stars Period 8: E1 or W1. Stacks 4, 5, 6 and 7 are E1 facing. The frontage has the auspicious flying star numbers and it is good to have open spaces in this home. The only concern is that other sectors have imbalances and need to be looked into; if possible. This is template for stacks 1, 2 and 3:- It is unfortunate that the frontage W has the Mountain star 4 with Water star 3. Here #3 represents quarrels, conflicts and legal entanglements. In addition if the master bedroom is at NW. It has the mountain star #5 = misfortune/sickness with #2 = sickness star. When these two combines, be extra careful of health concerns for the lady of the house. Unfortunately, the current prosperity wealth stars from now to 2023 is located at East. Where there are the double 8's. Thus as this area is often the rear of the unit eg. Kitchen/yard/service yard. It is wasted, here.

Amber Skye @ 8 Amber Road
Amber Skye @ 8 Amber Road (Recently T.O.P.) The wavy pattern of Amber Skye represents the water element. Thus this tower is considered a "Water building". This art-decor design belongs to that of the early 1950's. The RC ledges makes each unit cooler especially the units facing the afternoon sun. Good newd is that these RC ledges does not count as a unit's floor area. Thus not taxed. The main concern is that it may be a blessing for birds which like to perch/rest in these ledges. Including depositing their bird shit. It harmonizes well with it's immediate neighbour the older King's mansion which is circular representing the metal element:- While Amber Park is has sharp corners and each block is like a siamese twins of two triangles: Illustrations from the sales brochure of Amber Skye:-

HDB Waterway Sunrise II BTO launched in February 2017
Case Study: Is there an issue if my unit directly faces the cross on a church's roof? Depending on where the church places a cross. Some churches place it on the tip of their buidling or on the face of their building. There could even be a possibility of such a cross facing a unit at either Block 653B stacks 56 or 58. If so, this is considered inauspicious. In this example: If the above cross is shown as a red marking X, below:- Then it could be at the same level of a specific floor of stack 58, then this is considered inauspicious to face such a "church cross-spine"

HDB Waterway Sunrise II BTO launched in February 2017
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, in Singapore, precint pavilions does not hold any "exciting activies" such as concerts, maybe Malay weddings. It is interesting to see what the atmosphere is like during such an event in a basement type enviroment vs on the street level. Circled in red are the two precinct pavilions of HDB Waterway Sunrise II at Block 653 x2:- Kind of odd to name both precinct pavilions Block 653. But at two different ends..

Lunar 7th Month, can move in furniture/curtains?
Yes, this is a common advice or practice in the past. Note: Unless one encounters an over-zealous conservative; then nothing is okay for THEM.
