Bell and feng shui coins
As mentioned earlier; Three coins can either be symbolically hung or even placed "into the floor". This has more to do with symbolism. As three coins represents metal destroy wood to? create wealth. Thus, if one steps on the three coins; one is symbolically stepping on wealth. Three coins are meant or symbolic of "enhancement" vs 6 coins or 7 coins used traditionally as a cure. The difference between them and modern commercial products are:- 1.1. One characteristic of a modern commercial product is usually a geomancer or a seller would or might say: You have to buy this. Where? Buy from me or can only work if bought from me. And often, these are highly marked up and costs "an arm or a leg". 1.2. While traditional cures - usually, the geomancer does not sell them. And may ask you to go buy it yourself. And such cures? These are fake coins and does not costs "an arm or a leg".

Bell and feng shui coins
Gong Xi Fa Cai! 1. These are some considerations: 2. The lowest common denominator other than the Yin/Yang is that of "The Five Elements" concept. 3. Thus even in cures and enhancements; this concept is used. 4. In short: the number Three (3) represents the wood element. 5. And based on destructive or exhaustive sequence of the Five Elements concept: 5.1. Metal = can be presented by coins 5.2. Three or 3 of something like three coins represent the wood element. 6. Why three coins? Metal "destroys" wood to create wealth. 7. And what better than having the number Three (3) = wood. 8. Thus, some geomancers may symbolically ask one to keep a set of three coins in one's purse or three coins in the accounting ledger. As this is based on symbolism. 9. Often we hear of hanging a set of six coins tied with red string? This is because Six (6) represents big metal and coins = metal are used to help to neutralise some imbalances that require a "metal" cure. 10. Traditionally, these are common:- 10.1. three coins = wealth. And three coins are also buried in areas of the home.. and when one steps on three coins one is said to symbolically stepping on wealth 10.2. For cures, this includes six coins representing big metal cures. While seven (7) represent small metal and often used in such things as placing 7 gold fishes + 1 black (representing water element) in a fish tank. 10.3. In modern times; these are accepted but are not based on traditional cures:- 10.3.1 Some feel that 8 or the sound of 8 represents wealth and 9 represents longevity. And today, some have also used 8 or 8 coins etc... but these are more modern .. and not that traditional...

Sorry, these are commercial products sold in the name of Feng Shui
Case Study: Small talk via whatsApp on Feng Shui products. 1. One cannot stop a client who is considering placing a commercial product. 2. Under Symbolism in Feng Shui: Even if one wants to display an item in a home for whatever reason, it should not be fierce looking or "has a hungry look especially with wide open mouths." 3. As I had previously spoken to clients that even if they want to place "figurines" on their main gate pillars; these are not so much for Feng Shui but their choice of decorations. 4. Even if it is a decoration; symbolically, it should not have a fierce look. It should instead have a smiling face and well endowed.. body not thin and skinny kind.

Placing a pair of sugar-cane plants
In the past; some Chinese do pray to the Jade Emperor. And on that altar; and on each side of the two front legs of the altar table; they would tie a tall sugar-cane plant on each side of the leg - for luck. Similarly, this Katong Antique house follows another tradition of placing a sugar-cane plant on each side of their main entrance door. Please see photo. Again, this is for "luck".

HDB Waterway Brooks Premium flats
1. Nowadays, majority of the four and five bedroom HDB flats have layout flats have a kitchen opening immediately after entering the unit. 2. Many of the Feng Shui concepts have it's origins based on common sense. And this is one of them. 3. Should I change the entrance of the kitchen from marking in red "A" to "B"? 3.1. Some of the questions you should ask yourself, first:- 3.1.1. Are you "lactose tolerant"? Huh? Sorry, I mean is that are you thick skin enough that whenever your visitors (be it relatives, close friends etc..) come to your house and comment that they had read somewhere that this is inauspicious? Although I did mentioned it has every bit to do with Para 2. above? 3.1.2. If you and your partner has relatively "thick skin" no issue sticking with original entrance at marking "A". 3.1.3. But if you are one of those that has "thin" skin and can easily feel uneasy with so many of such negative comments; then seriously consider positioning the kitchen entrance at marking "B". 3.1.4. Next question: Are you and your partner : the reasonable "neat and tidy" guys or one of those that is the "messy" type. Don't know? Go look at your current study/work desk. If you have piles and piles of items all over your study/work table... then you belong to the "messy" type. 3.1.5. If you and/or your partner are the "messy" type and most probably may have a messy kitchen service yard.. then may consider changing the kitchen entrance to location marked "B". To be continued....

HDB Waterway Brooks Premium flats
Hey future residents of HDB Waterway Brooks, Woodcress and all you guys going to live closer to the North-east coast! Do you know that once upon a time, we (staying close to the noisy TPE) = see attachment; no longer enjoy the cool breeze coming from the NE. And we also have to turn on our air-con more often. We know you are not to be blamed... but someone who had the idea of the 6.9M thing should be?

This boutique freehold development located in district 15 has interior layouts that are well-thought out. Even if it is a 1 bedder, 2 bedder or 3 bedders; the architect has managed to fully maximize the floor area. If one can see, in this 2 bedder illustration; the entire unit is a rectangular shape with a minor extension at the main entrance area. The rest of this small development's other layouts also share a well thought out design. By the way, the small size of the unit is made-up by huge

2014, 2015 HDB 5 Bedroom Layout with three Kitchen entrance options & other can or cannot buy advice
Even in a small development like St George's Towers; a proper Can or Cannot Buy evaluation of a specific bedroom type can take 6 or more hours to prepare, analyse, evaluate and provide recommendations. If you have the time; you can see that lots of factors are taken into consideration in preparing the attachment. As sale of HDB flats and/or BTOs are on a ballot system; this "one-piece" format is useful to have a global understanding of all stacks and even concerns (if any) of low floors looking towards e.g. car-park entrance, poor views, road noise etc.. etc... Note: Additional detailed analysis under Annex A is not shown, here.

Beware of this Age Old Traditional Feng Shui Scam
Every so often, each of us meet a fork in the road even in area of Geomancy and Feng Shui. For a geomancer more often then not; in the beginning, they may think only of applying what they have learnt. And from past examples, we see many lots of geomancers either having approached by businessmen or on their own; see the "jewel" of making tons of easy money from highly marked-up products in the name of Feng Shui... Traditional Feng Shui is suppose to be scientific. But many end up preferring to sell modern commercial products or easy money for them and their accomplice. The best clue? Before you take up their service: check their website for such "clues" There are three types of luck based on the Chinese Holy Trinity of Luck:- 1. Heaven Luck or Born with via our ba zi 2. Earth Luck that is from our home + work place 3. Human or Man Luck which in real life is based on relationships and family bonding. But many geomancers instead try very hard instead to sell modern commercial products as a pathetic replacement for this. When the buying Stops!, the Selling can!

Flying stars chart for small and big tai chi
As per my last msg; the centrepoint that you had drawn is pretty close to what I had drawn. And the arrow from bedroom 2 seems to be the correct direction of the facing direction. For the rest, you have to work it out yourself.

Flying stars chart for small and big tai chi
You wrote: "1) As my front door open to the services stack (starhub. Singtel, SP services etc ), I am taking direction on my balcony side ( same facing as the windows for my otherROOMS). As my main door is mostly closed and my balcony is open for ventilation for chi flow, am I correct to use this facing? Please note this direction is facing the pool and opposite block of my condo." Based on your description; " it is common to use the facing direction standing inside the balcony looking outwards." You can upload the layout so that I can help to determine the centrepoint. But you have to DIY on your own.
