Designs of false ceilings in the living room
Location: Corner Indian eatery at Serangoon Gardens (by the way they individually make fresh one of the best pratas around) The concrete beam you see in the photo is considered load bearing beam. But do take note that the rest of the brown wooden planks that were mounted onto the ceiling are non-load bearing beams. However, some has a misunderstanding that the planks are beams - which is in theory not true at all.

The Angsana tree or truly a huge majestic "umbrella" (shade) tree
Location: Mountbatten Road. (Used to be the main road connecting the East Coast to the city. That was before the ECP came into being) It is a pity that we can only see the Ang sana trees that were planted at least 30 to 50 years ago. What a pity, they are no longer planted on most of today's roads. As HDB estate roads are both narrow and does not have a road side divider; such trees are no longer seen in new HDB estates like Sengkang, Punggol, Choa Chu Kang etc... This tree has low branches and as they radiate towards the road; the branches were often trimmed. Even so, the tree managed to retain a balanced "umbrella" shape. The ang sana trees were planted previously on wide two way roads to provide greenery. But is highly unsuitable on highways. The Singapore we used toknow will slowly and surely be made way for "progress" to house 10 million?

Can a house creates mental blockage
These are some considerations: 1. It is best to do a scientific triage. 1.1. What you mentioned is based purely on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. In order?to apply this properly, if the evaluator is not on the ground to study the situation; sometimes : a photo tells a thousand words. 1.2. This is because, sometimes contrary to a lay person; what you had described: the wall at the front entrance; this may not even be the "FRONTAGE" under both Shapes and Forms and?Flying Stars Feng Shui. 1.2.1 Especially if the house opens to a beautiful "backyard" etc... So you may in fact be describing about the "rear of the house" instead. 2. Flying Star Feng Shui can zoom in on areas where it may be prone to "mental issues" or blockages. Usually the "guilty" stars are often those of the #3 and/or #4 Flying Star numbers. 3. In this very old illustration; under Period 6; the SE or living room area has bad combination of "mental stress" related stars like MS#8 with WS#4. 4. Here, Flying Stars is used to both identify and cure or disarm such bad sectors. Fortunately, this example is not a major consider from now to 2023 as this is the Period 8 and at this moment #8 = auspicious outweighs the bad luck of #4. But after 2023, that is a different matter all together.

I wonder how does the shape of property contributes to feng shui. This house is located in a very long and narrow triangular lot.
Please see attachment. In general, this type of triangular plot of land (may be) acceptable - subject to any external open drains if any along its perimeter which may affect it's Feng Shui

Dangers of lightning strike: anything taller than.
No joke! I have been to several homes where trees or plants were grown taller than the lightning rods. And for those staying at the Waterway Terraces I and II; do avoid being at the roof top on rainy days. Photo showing the roof top of Waterway Terraces I where some of the trees are pretty high-up, there.

Front Door Confusion
These are some considerations: 1. When we reference a home with compass directions; and if one is trying to apply a Feng Shui concept to this; 2. Then, the Compass School of Feng Shui comes into mind: Eight House concept and Flying Stars 2.1. Eight House concept to find or nice-to have one's head sleep facing a good direction and if possible sectors that are favourable to the person. 2.2. In your case, when applying traditional Feng Shui = Flying Stars; determine or confirming that the facing direction may be actually West sitting East. And in addition, find out whether it is a W1, W2 / W3 facing and which period it is in. 3. Then plot the flying stars and applying this concept onto the layout plan. 4. For missing area or corner of a landed property; Shapes and Forms Feng Shui applies. The most logical way is to image that one is in a helicopter or having a helicopter view looking down on the home. 4.1. Here, if there are missing corners; one could do landscaping or even cement / concrete this area so that when we are above it; it may fill in the missing corner. 4.2. Alternatively, if this is a sandy patch, one can add an outline such as using bolders to outline the missing area.

Demerit Free Driver & Feng Shui?
Recently, LTA has been giving out in conjunction with Shell; a Demerit-Free Driver decal or if one is a scooterist a Dement-Free Rider sticker! Coincidentally, this one of a kind taxi uncle has in one of the photos: I have highlighted in red-arrow(s) the various items found in his taxi: 1 sword made up of I-ching coins just above the rear view mirror. 2 luopans 1 hulu 1 ba gua emblem Have you come across, such a perculiar sight? Or is it a coincidence of all the above that he did not have any demerit-points? As it is very hard to find a Singapore taxi driver that does not have demerit-points?

Fan at the ceiling
These fan blades are sloped upwards at the tip. Most likely these fan blades take the cue from the latest air-planes that have curved tips also.

Traditional Sliding Collapsible Grille panels
Collapsible Grille gate designthat is both functional and common in the 1950's. But almost died out, today. These collapsible grille gates were used to protect the main doors of homes and used also for shop fronts and even factories.
