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!

Attached is a chart showing my personal 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.

Some of the partitions mentioned in the attachment are considered inauspicious.

Best of Luck!
Actually; many Feng Shui concepts are derived from common sense.
Some of the common sense concerns of a flat facing a lift entrance are:
1. Privacy. When the lift door opens; the people inside will naturally look out. And if the unit main door directly faces the lift.... think about it...
2. Fire concern. It can be both ways.Touch wood; that is why most flats close to the lift use 1/2 hour rated doors. Seldom; a lift catches fire.
Sometimes; it is simply pure common sense.
The rest has more to do with "human factors".
For example, some do a Feng Shui audit; for that "peace of mind" thing. Same as human factors and never discount: that "try to feel at ease or good"...
Best of Luck, Tina!

Sorry for the side-track.
Last year, I bought a freehold home 1km from Tao Nan / CHIJ. I reviewed and most likely felt that one of the stations is at the location as shown in the attachment.
Early this year; a client told me that; coincidentally, she spilled out that a reliable source told her that one of the new stations for the Marine Parade Line is opposite the Marine Parade community centre. Which is exactly as shown.
Again, I am not liable for any loss if anyone purchase based on this.
My hope is that this will realise.

In my opinion; the best situation is if there are EXTERNAL openings. Thus, if the study room has "external" openings; can try to activate it.
For example, of course, when out of home; close the windows; but if at home especially after a heavy rainfall; or if you know that there is a constant "hi" and "low" pressure zone occurring; can open the window to allow good qi to flow in: even in the kitchen if there are windows.. not necessarily just the windows at the stud area.

Frankly besides Feng Shui; Seletar Park Residence being only a 99 year lease property; even for a 3 bedroom (not 4 bedroom) is costing around $1.55M; to me I could easily get a FREEHOLD apartment, now for much less.
It is a pity; 99 year lease within a blink of an eye... for $1.55M or more is like handing over money later to the "government".
My personal belief (not Feng Shui is that); today; for anything below $1M or even $1.2M (if near MRT) is ok for 99 leasehold. But anything above that amount; pretty silly to pay for a 99 year (miserable) leasehold. When reach 60 years.. harder for bank loans and CPF disbursement!

Frankly; I feel that Fu dogs has more to do with decorations.
From a "human" factor; perhaps, if placing "something" makes one feel at ease (or in psychology = uplift or makes one feel good ... no harm right? So go ahead...)
It is not the "size" that matters; but take a cue from why people place a laughing Buddha at home usually face the main door... when one comes into a home again.. it is suppose to make one feel at ease....
As mentioned, above "size" does not matter. When one purchase such an object; in theory; under shapes and forms:-
1.1. each of the Fu dog should be well endowed e.g. plumb and well nourished and actually SMILING... and not fierce ...
1.2. In theory; often it should be white to represent = metal element. And often under Five Elements concept; each dog should be wearing a red ribbon and a "pearl" each...

is the appropriate size that I
can place on a cabinet ? best

Reference: http://forum.geomancy.net/wiki/Types_of_Ba_Gua_Mirror
Yes, generally, a convex mirror is used to "deflect" sha qi i.e. be it a lamp post or tree trunk or even facing a lift.
The Ba gua trigram used in the outer dial of the convex mirror is the correct type of "Trigram" formation.
This type of mirror is considered as a dual role mirror i.e. the convex mirror is to deflect sha qi. and the outer rim i.e. the ba gua trigram formation services another purpose i.e. suppose to "protect" the home from "evil-forces".
There are some who only use a larger eg. 3 inch convex mirror surrounded by a red plastic circular frame is equally common i.e. without the outer-ringba gua trigram.

Hello Fengshui master,The main
door of my new home is facing

is just opposite the lift
(just a few steps). I saw a

mirror that I like very much.
I don't like those colorful
complicated looking bagua
mirror. I attached photo for
your advise. Is this cherry
wood bagua mirror good to hang
over my main door to chase
away the bad energy from the

In my opinion; if one is planning to D.I.Y. Feng Shui; often no two situations or home / apartment are similar.
This involves: Understanding resources; prepare various reports and analyse them.
In fact, no site can ever spoon-feed any-one again in a D.I.Y. environment.

3rd Gen HDB 5 Bedroom Point-Block Flats located opposite Ris Grandeur Condo.
These type of flats were built around late 1980's (1988 to 1990's).

Yet to be launched Executive Condo at Punggol called: Waterwoods.
Another sheer coincidence that Trees produce wood? Erh.. might as well also call it WaterTREEs condo...
So far this 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. Immediately, this gets 100% marks under this area, alone.

This is what you get when you combine robotics, the projection-mapping of 3D computer graphics, and an actor all working together in perfect synchronization. It's a five-minute short film called "The Box" ? and it's nothing short of revolutionary.

The short film was produced by San Francisco-based design and engineering firm Bot & Dolly. It's the first of its kind ? an achievement the producers believe will "radically transform theatrical presentations and define new genres of expression." The creators describe the film as being both an ?artistic statement and technical demonstration?, one that explores ?the synthesis of real and digital space through projection mapping on moving surfaces?.

To create this stunning effect, Bot & Dolly used an actor, two high-resolution projectors, two 2D monitors, and three industrial robots (one for the camera) that were synchronized and controlled by integrating their own software with Autodesk's Maya.

And yes, this live performance was all captured in camera. http://io9.com/this-short-film-just-took-projection-mapping-to-the-nex-1383033085

With Singapore being a pretty small country, it's easy to kid ourselves into thinking we know all there is to know about the city. But after a long stare at this infographic (oh, how we love a spot of data porn), it became fairly obvious that we know far, far less than we thought. Who knew that we had a gazillion different trees? And we're super speedy when it comes to getting around on foot? And the huge wheel that we tend to forget about is the hugest of them all?
Check out the infographic for yourselves to discover even more about our proud little island:-

You wrote: "If one's maternal grandmother pass away, does the wedding need to be conducted within 100 days or postpones to 3 years later?"
Yes, this is by-right (or considered "politically correct" statement). Or "should be the case".
You also wrote: "I have checked various sources which mostly mentioned these only affected to one's parents, only a few mentioned that this taboo affected to grandparents as well."
Again, there is no hard or fast rule. Nowadays; some are quite lax with the interpretation; especially in the context thatthat specific grandmother(was) not staying with them. Thus take it as more "distant".
But traditionally; yourfirst statement shouldbe the correct "interpretation" and includes the grand-parent.
