The photo shows a politically correct or in theory a typical "Feng Shui" type of water feature. In the first photo, it shows clearly that the water feature lacks plants = wood element. -

Dear Master Cecil Lee,Thanks to your help and guidance since our first consultation in 2009, I have had a number of promotions and career advancements.
The company has put me in to a new office on the 6th floor ofxxx building ? former Singaporexxx (xxxx Centre).
Attached is a picture of my office, with windows all behind my desk.
I was thinking of covering the windows with a large painting of a mountain.
But the art gallery is asking all kinds of questions ? one mountain or many mountains? What colour? Got snow on top? Waterfalls allowed? How about lake in front of mountains? Etc. etc.
Was just wondering if you have any advice for me?
I hope my details are still on your system, but my birth date isxx August 1970.
My address that you helped consult for was xxxx terrace, Singapore xxx150.
Thanks!
Leon

The existing bamboo pole holders embedded into the external walls of many old HDB flats are danger as they collect water = mosquito breeding.
However, these metallic protrusions can be considered as functional yet very ugly / unsightly. -

Under symbolism in Feng Shui; the two attachments showing a queen sized bed each; has a "split" exactly in the middle of the bed-head. Here, this is considered inauspicious as the split is "exactly" in the middle of the bed.
This is considered as similar to joining two single beds into a full queen sized bed = inauspicious.QuoteOn 11/1/2013 8:25:24 AM, Anonymous wrote:

It is difficult to figure out the layout from your description.
Under symbolism in Feng Shui; ideally, best not to see the STEPs (leading up/down) directly facing the main entrance door.QuoteOn 10/31/2013 4:02:58 PM, Anonymous wrote:

A. For an apartment; there are often two common possible frontage:
1. Standing inside the main entrance door looking outwards or
2. Finding the location where there are most openings such as windows and balconies if any.
B. In this sample illustration; notice that the passageway leading to a unit's main door is dim (dark) = yin. If so, most likely, this may not be the frontage of the apartment.
C. Applying Flying Star Feng Shui is about locating the most yang qi (most openings and bright area e.g. natural lighting that filters into a home). -
You should be looking at your core job function.
It is "nice-to" work in an industry that suits you. (If possible. Thus it is considered "nice-to" and not a must do).
In general; although a career in fire is good for those with strong metal element. Not all can take it.
For example; you have to examine your own personality. There are quite a lot of accountants who prefer desk-bound jobs. And are less keen in direct interactions such as those in sales or even marketing.
Some strong metal persons; may find jobs relating to Water more "peaceful" and enriching. As water helps to "cool" down a strong metal person. VS fire to melt it (the strong metal person) which for some is like a cattle about to explode .....
You check your personality traits as I believe not all are suited to be in sales (marketing) line. Erh.. don't force yourself even if in theory; you are told to do so.QuoteOn 10/30/2013 12:55:09 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Opps! Even for a castle, if the King always enter from the same entrance; this does not automatically makes it the "facing direction" -

Under the productive sequence under the Five Elements concept;
Please see attached illustration. It is more "potent" to use wood to fuel fire vs just adding fire to fire.
Although both are good for a weak fire person. Wood would be considered a "top choice" or first choice - if possible.QuoteOn 10/25/2013 2:57:40 PM, Anonymous wrote:

I knew when the development called 100 trees condo (at West Coast)T.O.P. It really has lots of trees. Not that I counted them. But I guess, the development must have that many number of trees.
But, I was trying to figure out why they call it Tree house?
Perhaps, I stumbled on it the other day. When I say the Sky view tower and I zoomed in to the following photos. One of the photos shows a distinct large beam. We shall call it a "tree trunk" with several branches .... OIC! Holy smoke! this must be the reason why it is called the TREE HOUSE!"QuoteOn 10/25/2013 11:49:40 AM, Anonymous wrote:
