Madam bought a unit here?

At Blk 649 Hougang Avenue 8:

Some of us no longer have unobstructed views of Yio Chu Kang Road!

One resident commented, “Your gain is our loss.”

Well, at least we can still enjoy the view of the amphitheater.

Perhaps, in this case, there won’t be any impact on our resale value after all.

100 Percent sold!

100 Palms showroom just got torn down.

Today’s date: 8 April 2018

Progress is on track... some blocks already 9 storeys high. While others are at 4th or more storeys..

Some of the blocks can be seen between Regentville condo..

How many other developments can claim 100% sold in a matter of a few hours of launch via balloting...

Regentville on the left.. and a glimpse of the 4th storey... progress at 100 Palms Residences..(see below)

Case Study: Potential poison arrows from roof-lines.

There may be possible poison arrows directed toward the lower storeys of stacks #03, #04, #08, #33, and #34, especially if the roof-lines point toward any windows or balconies of these units.

Based on the showroom model, it appears that the third storeys of stacks #03, #04, #08, #33, and #34 could be affected. However, as shown in the illustration, trees in front of stacks #03, #08, and #34 may help to block or reduce the impact.

 

Case Study: Balcony/PES with Three-Panel Sliding Doors

Some of the layout plans at 100 Palm Residences feature three-panel sliding doors for the balcony or PES.

1. This photo is from The Terrace at Punggol, which has just received its T.O.P. (Temporary Occupation Permit).

1.1 Three-panel sliding doors at the balcony/PES:

2. As flat sizes continue to shrink, more new developments feature balconies with only three-panel sliding doors, instead of the more common four-panel designs found in older condos, ECs, and even HDB flats.

3. The benefit of four-panel doors is that the opening is centered, allowing the panels to slide to either side for easy access between the living room and balcony.

4. This convenience is lost with three-panel doors.

5. With only three panels, it’s difficult to place a large sofa close to the balcony doors. TV consoles or cabinets also can’t be too thick or fully cover the sliding door panel behind the sofa.

6. Therefore, you need to carefully consider not only the length of your sofa, but also the height and width of any armchairs, ensuring they don’t block the lock mechanism by the sofa, or vice versa.

7. Another advantage of four-panel sliding doors is that you can often leave a gap for ventilation without fully closing the doors. With three-panel doors, however, the opening is usually at the edge, where heavy rain and wind can easily enter.

8. For example, Sol Acres development also features three-panel balcony doors. (Note: This is an actual photo from The Terrace EC Block 88, ground floor unit PES.)

9. The four-panel balcony sliding door allows you to open not only the middle two panels, but also either the side or corner panels.

9.1 This design combines the versatility of three panels with added flexibility offered by four panels.

Proper Feng Shui is transparent and scientific and not linked to any religion

Ask: Must I buy from YOU?

That Feng Shui Master is actually a Feng Shui Store in disguise!

Son! I caught you buying.. come here! I want to present you with a Singapore CANE!

Progress is on-track.. 2020 T.O.P.

Main entrance signage installed on 15.11.2019. T.O.P. expected in about one month.

Subsidiary Proprietor (SP) Owner says: Let’s hope 100 palm trees are planted here!

Developer’s Representative: What? Who said there would be 100 palm trees? Are you serious?

SP: Really? There won’t be 100 palm trees?

Developer: Do you not understand English?

Developer: We promised 100 palms, but what we actually meant is there will be 100 palm motifs— not actual trees!

Developer: Even the gate has a palm symbol next to the words "100 Palms." All blocks and units also feature these palm motifs!

So far, that's 11 palm motifs—only 89 more to go.

As promised, here are your 100 palms. Be sure to count them, or you might never know if there really are 100.

Developer: "Okay, please do your part and pay up the progressive payments ASAP!"

SP: "Hey! Developer! Make sure when I paid the 6 months maintenance fee, your lawyers don't take their sweet time to process the final documents prior to handing over the keys! Often, the lawyers are pretty slow for example to bank in this money for clearance.!"

What if key collection or renovations during Qing Ming or also called Tomb-Sweeping Day?

Question: Hi Master Cecil..during Qingming .. can we proceed to open the door?

Yes, Qing Ming typically falls on April 4th or 5th each year. If you need to visit, it’s best to do so before you begin your regular day or open the door to other activities.

Question: normally we dun go to qingming.. cos my kids are still young.. is our parents will go.. hence do we need them to go first before we open the door?

Reply: If you don’t need to, then Qing Ming doesn’t matter to you.

It’s like being expected to visit, but if you just open the door and go about your day, "they" might be upset.

But how could they be upset if you never participate in Qing Ming?

Note: This WhatsApp message was from 2019, when Qing Ming was on April 5.

In 2020 it is on 4th April.

Congratulations! T.O.P. received on 18 December 2019.

P.S. I also clearly remember that security needed to take everyone’s temperature reading as part of the protocol.

Just last week, we discussed the Feng Shui considerations of several owners regarding their units. Many of them opted for Method 1, which seems to align well with their preferences and Feng Shui principles. Their choices reflect a thoughtful balance between practical layout and auspicious orientation, addressing key concerns such as kitchen positioning, entryway alignment, and avoiding problematic features like roof lines or cluttered service yards.

By selecting Method 1, these owners have taken steps to enhance the overall harmony and energy flow within their units, which is often seen as beneficial for prosperity and well-being. If you need a more detailed breakdown of how Method 1 influences specific Feng Shui aspects, or want to compare its effects with other methods, feel free to let me know!
