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!

Sorry for the poor image, as I simply took a photo from an existing brochure that I have for Seletar Park Residences

Early I was attracted to the place. As when I drive in to the show room; it seems serene and peaceful. And I believe; the most attractive was the ground floor units which has very high ceiling. But believe most ground floor units taken. Must be careful of specific units that may be cut by the roof ..... For example 4 bedroom Type D2 stack 61 has to take extra care that the roof of the club-house does not slice or cut in that unit's frontage. In the end; as the price of 99 has caught up with freehold; decided to purchase a freehold 1km from Tao Nan in Katong area. I (strongly) believe; this is not Feng Shui; but a future MRT station will be close to it.

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...

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.

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

Many designers often predict what colours would be popular for the following year. Same here in Singapore. One step further is that developers follow a trend in naming their condominiums. In the 1990's, many condominiums start with THE e.g. THE Bayshore etc... In 2010, many condominiums use Residence e.g. Kovan Residence By coincidence, I happen to visit newly TOP condos that have the word TREE in them: Tree House @ Chestnut avenue / Petir Road and 100 Trees @ West Coast (formerly Hong Leong). I can assure you that I had counted the trees at 100 trees and the inventory are as follows: this condo as at middle Sept 2013 has: 101 trees and 100 small plants (bushes).... Hope that the trees don't fall below 100 trees. Else dread to think that it should be changed to "99 Trees condo".

Tree House condo has just TOP. It has an unusual cage like pavilion...

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?

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.

These are further considerations: 1. In Traditional Feng Shui; it is not so simple as using a template: Fame; Career; Romance etc... 2. In the attached illustration. One of the concepts include drawing out a Flying Star chart. 3. In this sample illustration: For example: one of the many concepts is to look at the Flying Star numbers. 3.1 Thus; if one is evaluating the SE sector of a home; if you had applied it; water should not be used but fire should be used instead in the sample illustration. 3.2 For your question; as I had mentioned; it is based on whims and fancies; and frankly, better flip a coin: Heads = fire; Tails = water type of clueless "laughing stock" fung sway...

These are further considerations: 1. Imagine, when we visit another country; instead of touring places that locals go to; 2. Us the silly fools may be taken-in and tour places only tourists go-to in that country. 3. This type of "rubbish" whatever Fung Sway ... has a distinct element: 3.1. PLACE this object, here. PLACE that object (in the name of Feng Shui) there. 4. In reality: what you mentioned is product driven: Modern commercial product used in the guise of Feng Shui. 5. When the buying stops; the selling can!

This illustrations shows clearly; the NON-relationship ofthis "Fame"; "Romance" to Feng Shui.

These are some considerations: 1. Such practises although is widely popular in western countries; is unfortunately; not really authentic Traditional Feng Shui. 2. The "fame area" thing is not even found in the attachment. 3. Look at it this way; any Tom, Dick or Harry with some imagination can write such a book on "fixed" False Feng Shui thing... 3.1. Introduction 3.2. Career corner (area) 3.3. Romance corner 3.4.Fame corner etc.... 4. Then what should I do, here? 4.1. For such "practises" my advice is simply to flip a coin: Heads or Tails. 5. In addition, this "fixed template" does not even come close to Kindergarten type of Feng Shui. 6. For example, if any of such practitioners were to practise such an "art" especially in Singapore, Malaysia, Hong Kong or Taiwan; will either be condemned or chased out of the house or office.

If one wants to apply Flying Star; and looking at a frontage; usually, it is best to add higher weightage to EXTERNAL openings, first. (And doors as secondary to the external opening. However, if external openings are always slam-shut; then this is a different cup of tea

These are some considerations:- 1. One must understand the key purpose of determining the "frontage". 2. The reason why determining the frontage is for the purpose of applying Flying Star Feng Shui. 3. Thus, as you had mentioned; under what you wrote = Para 4. You mentioned that you work mostly in the bedroom. 4. There is no right or wrong in determining the frontage under Flying Star. But if you spent considerable time at the bedroom. And if the bedroom has especially an external opening; you can consider that as the frontage for? the purpose of applying Flying Star Feng Shui. 5. The determining of the frontage need not be based on text-book or if someone else say so, type of situation. You are there; on the field; you have a better idea of it.

I suppose you mean the kitchen must not be in NW sector right? I'll definitely need to employ your expertise when we get our flat. Thanks Mr CecilI suppose you mean the kitchen must not be in NW sector right?I'll definitely need to employ your expertise when we get our flat.I managed to get a qeue for the current flat selection drive, but have yet to select a flat, and I'm considering a 4-room flat. The 4-room flat layout is attached here for your reference. Base on this flat layout, seems like there are parts of 2 major sectors missing, since the kitchen is protuding out & the household shelter is just next to the main door. Is there a cure for the such missing sectors base on the flat layout?(1) Assuming this sector which holds the shelter & main door is in a good sector, good door facing direction for me, this good sector will be affected by the shelter right? (a) I suppose sleeping facing a good direction or a bedroom in a good sector will help? (b) If we're at a higher floor, say 10th floor, we'll be looking at where the sunlight is strongest in the living room & if the source comes from the living room windows then that will be the facing direction of the house right?(2) In the layout, It also seems like the toilet is quite near to the center of the house, is it ok?Mr Cecil, base on this flat layout, do you think I should give up this selection?I'm at a lost right now whether to proceed with this flat selection.Your advise is very much appreciated.Thanks.Tan boon Beng

These are some considerations: 1. Please note this is beyond the scope of this forum: http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=33017&new= 2. In general:- 2.1. Better stacks are highlighted in "lime-green". 2.2. Do bear in mind the marking in purple "X". And have to weigh the stacks in relation to important missing corners OR kitchen at NW.

Hope you understand; lots more work and effort are required to look into this. And unfortunately; most likely: your question is also too specific to a location.

Wow! SE has such a magnificent view! In Singapore, we call it a "million" dollar view to "die for"... You wrote: "So, can we say the facing is the SE !" Looks like it-
