Most of the time; taboos has it's roots under common sense.
For example, the birthday person's saliva is littered with bacteria or germ or sometimes even HIV or certain disease that can be passed thru the saliva e.g. flu etc...QuoteOn 10/10/2013 4:21:10 PM, Anonymous wrote:

Further to what I had mentioned:
1. It is a common fallacy that many of us seem to think that Feng Shui is a "cure all".
2. What I believe from what you wrote is that you are confused and apprehensive that given your personal experience; you did not get any good results from a previous audit.
3. Again. Try to look at the root of the issue: "Is your home an unpolished gem or a rotten apple?".
3.1. This is the key for better understanding of the realities of LIFE.
4. Attached are previous illustrations. On why some homes even if they are brand new or costs millions may not be good in terms of Fung the Sway aka. Feng Shui.QuoteOn 10/10/2013 7:39:20 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Some of the considerations

3. For example; if a home is

3.1 Most homes are usually
between these two: and after

4. However, or unfortunately; some homes

everyone seems to think that

This is only wishful thinking. And this,
I feel explains why, some try to seek

that can even cure such things. Frankly,
even if there is a god; God, cannot do
miracle cure. Especially those who

You wrote: "Also, Stack 9 is SW facing. I am an East Group person, Is it ok to sleep with head facing or pointing to northwest as it seems it is most natural to place the bed against the wall pointing to NW in the master br. Northwest is unfavorable dir for East gp people...."
These are further considerations:-
1. In theory; for an East group person; of course if it is possible to sleep with the head facing N, S, SE and East would be great.
2. But, unless one tries to built a home from scratch; many more; buy off-the-shelf homes.
3. And often, when most of us step into a bedroom; automatically would visualise; logically where the bed-head (bed) should be placed.
3.1. First priority is based on Shapes and Forms Feng Shui. Which you had mentioned; "NATURAL" thing to do.
4. Always remember: IT IS NICE TO and not a MUST-DO.
4.1. Thus, it is nice to sleep with the head facing one's good sector. BUT IT is not a Must-do.
5. And one of the concept is to "Maximise marks" as mentioned in an earlier message.
5.1. Common sense also says that if husband is west and wife is east group; ain't it pure crazy for the husband to sleep with the wife's legs and vice versa.QuoteOn 10/9/2013 2:02:07 PM, Anonymous wrote:

You asked: "Any bad implication ? etc..."
There is a methodology used by must sciences. For example; even in Feng Shui, you need todo a "Triage" and an overview of the entire situation.
You wrote: " I am an East Group person, Is it ok to sleep with head facing or pointing to northwest as it seems it is most natural to place the bed against the wall pointing to NW in the master br. Northwest is unfavorable dir for East gp people...."
You already instinctively said it: "most natural to place ......... ".
If you are into D.I.Y:- http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_TriageAnd also:-
http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marksand many other concepts before someone can make an educated guest.
Some homes are like an unpolished gem. While others; need an uphill task to bring up the luck of the home/apartment.QuoteOn 10/9/2013 2:02:07 PM, Anonymous wrote:

These are some considerations:
1. Please note that what I had written does NOT take into consideration:
http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/Feng_Shui_Triage
2. No two home are the same. And common sense says that : "It depends!"3. Frankly, there no such thing as an utopian home. Thus most homes must also look at:-
http://wiki.geomancy.net/wiki/The_Concept_of_Maximizing_Marks
4. To better understand and make your own opinion on "the direction of the MAIN DOOR"; I suggest you go read the following information:-

In my opinion, one thing the architects forgot was that the ledges in Tree house development can allow birds + birds dropping a-plenty to be deposited onto the ledges above and below each window(s).
In a bird-flu world of today, this is mighty careless.
Oh, yeah! a client recently purchased an older condo @ Ris Grandeur as he complained to me that he hates his recent condo which has all dry-walls. Guess what... this development's interior walls including toilets are of dry-wall material. Only walls that are solid are those sharing with external or neighbouring unit....QuoteOn 10/9/2013 9:22:58 AM, Anonymous wrote:

development seems all so "square". The
site is squarish; all blocks are built
along an outline of a square. And this
development has units that are purely
Flying Stars: N2, S2, E2 and W2. A
simple design, yet fully functional with
lots of clear space between each
stack.One of the better "safe, safer,
safest" Shapes and Forms design around.

Time flies. I though I got my keys to a 99 year old house, yesterday!
But I think I have already stayed there for more than 10 years!
Note: In my opinion, this applies to SGP properties especially HDB, condo, EC condo, private apartments that costs $1M to $1.2M and above.
If it is just a $400K or even $800K, property... what the heck; have to live-with-it. Or wait for one fine day, perhaps a utopian situation where a future govt. will up the lease-period or add 99 years, more to eligible citizens for free or pay a nominal fee?QuoteOn 10/8/2013 5:06:17 PM, Anonymous wrote:

1. Further to what I had mentioned; this is the template for what I had mentioned, previously in an earlier e-mail.
2. Comparing the sectors:-
2.1. For example from now to 2023 (Period 8); if the frontage is at North and a bedroom is located at e.g. East;
2.2. While from 2024 onwards to 2043b(Period 9); we find that the wealth stars had gone to South = toilet and there is a missing corner at SE; then when comparing the periods; From now to 2023, seems more auspicious then Period 9.
3. Thus logic says that one needs to compare the stars with sectors for either period to see which is considered better or worse-off or even no-change?QuoteOn 10/4/2013 4:58:02 PM, Anonymous wrote:
These are some considerations:1. In
period 7; usually if Flying Stars are
applied; you should be looking for the
location of the following numbers:
Mountain Star (MS)#7 and Water(W)#7. As
at that period : 1984 to 2003; the
reigning wealth star is = #7.2. In
period 8; using the same Period 7, SW1
chart; 2.1. #7 becomes the past
prosperity number.2.2. #8 becomes
the CURRENT prosperity wealth
star.2.3. Thus there will still be
no change in the flying star chart. But
locate where the MS#8 is at and the W#8
also.2.4. For example, in period
8, theWater star#8 is located at
North and the Mountain Star #8 is at
East sector.3. In period 9; especially
if the house is not completely torn down
or major renovations done; one should
still use Period 7, SW1 chart. 3. But
since this will be period 9; then locate
where are the Water#9 and MS#9. As in
Period 9; #9 becomes the current
prosperity star(s) while #8 becomes the
PAST prosperity stars.4. Your sum of
fear is realised! In fact, in Period 9
and if we still retain the Period 7 SW1
chart; the MS#9 flies to the SE and
Water #9 files to the South. These two
sectors will have auspicious "Current"
prosperity stars.5. Thus, based on THE
FACTS; most likely your friend's master
MAY be pulling a fast one on your
friend. 6. A Period 7, SW1 facing home
will have MS#7 and Water#7 at it's
frontage, thus as I had mentioned
previously #7, today : is the PAST
prosperity star(s).7. BUT if you are
using Period 8, SW1 stars then you will
find the Water star = #8. While the
Mountain Star (MS) = #8. Thus, if there
is visible frontage at the frontage of
such a house and there is sufficient
back(ing) at the home; then in theory;
this is a good house.8. Thus, frankly, I
have clearly illustrated, above that
there is nothing difficult about
applying Flying Star. And the fact
speaks for itself.9. To sum up: if the
house has no major renovations done or
torn and rebuilt usually it is still a
Period 7 e.g. SW1 home.9.1. Only thing
to remember that if this is 1984 to
2003; then locate theLeft (MS) and
Right (Water) stars = 7 = CURRENT
prosperity during that period.9.2.
Correspondingly, if this is 2004 to 2023
(under Period 8); then locate where are
the #8's ?9.3. If this is 2024 to 2043
(under Period 9) then locate where are
the #8's; that's all.10. From this
logic; I am afraid; if purely based on
Flying stars; your friend's master has
just pulled a fast one on him! Your some
of concerns are realised... Lots of
smoke coming from that master's ears for
sure!On 10/4/2013 1:55:45 AM, Anonymous

achievable. 6. For practical reasons;
the current insurance is at least a 99
leasehold (close to or next to) an MRT
is better than one that is no where near
one.7. For example, one of my old
client; wanted a bigger flat. They sold
their freehold condo in River valley
road. And the criteria is to get a
bigger flat. 7.1. As originally, wife
can't conceive. And by coincidence;
after the Feng Shui; just gave birth to
a baby boy. Went with them to view
several flats. We had a chat and
fortunately, they nearly wanted to buy a
penthouse for
1.2m at Parkview EC;
Sengkang. 7.2. They instead finally
bought a 99year at Kovan Residence.
(quite new as TOP pretty recent).7.3.
Although 99 years but just a few metres
away from Kovan Residence.8. Thus, given
that they had similar constraints
"bigger" flat; at least their trump card
is still a home that is "next" to an
MRT. Compared to the Parkview EC. In
rental or resale; which will be a better

6. For practical reasons; the current insurance is at least a 99 leasehold (close to or next to) an MRT is better than one that is no where near one.
7. For example, one of my old client; wanted a bigger flat. They sold their freehold condo in River valley road. And the criteria is to get a bigger flat.
7.1. As originally, wife can't conceive. And by coincidence; after the Feng Shui; just gave birth to a baby boy. Went with them to view several flats. We had a chat and fortunately, they nearly wanted to buy a penthouse for
>1.2m at Parkview EC; Sengkang.
7.2. They instead finally bought a 99year at Kovan Residence. (quite new as TOP pretty recent).
7.3. Although 99 years but just a few metres away from Kovan Residence.
8. Thus, given that they had similar constraints "bigger" flat; at least their trump card is still a home that is "next" to an MRT. Compared to the Parkview EC. In rental or resale; which will be a better insurance?QuoteOn 10/4/2013 2:03:10 AM, Anonymous wrote:
Wah, thank you very much. Really set us
thinking...but new development don't
have 1 to 1.2m pricing. Buy resale? We
need at least 1200 sq ft hse. Still have
profit margin for old house especially
when come 2016, when there is
oversupply, old house may not be as
attractive as the newer ones...what's
your opinion on this?On 10/3/2013

threshold for purchase of a home in
Singapore:1. I don't mind
paying
$1m to $1.2m for a 99year leasehold
especially if it has certain
advantages
e.g. short distance to an MRT
station
(not LRT). Or within 1KM to a good
school.2. I will not consider
anything
above $1.2m for 99year leaseholds;
in my
opinion and not as mentioned under
Para
1.3. 999 years come under the above
consideration. In Singapore, most if
not
all 999 year homes as if I am not
mistaken they have only around 7xx+
years left.On 10/3/2013 5:26:03 AM,
