Dear Cecil
- I will be moving soon to Paya Lebar Way and infront of my block is a canal (Kallang Canal). I read in your website that its no good to choose a house near a canal. However
I will be staying on the 19th Flr, does this help? Since I am on such a high floor, my house won't be too near to the canal.
- My front main entrance door going into my house, faces a wall. Must I hang a cross on the wall? For fengshui purpose, my entrance should be when I turn and walk in towards my living room or at the door itself which faces a wall?

Dear Emily,

No two situations (locations) are alike.
Often, it is not good to have a canal especially if the canal is at the back of the house.
What you had described does not seem to be that bad.
For a re-sale home, it is often best (if you can) find out the rationale why the existing owners have sold their apartments.
Often, these are the most common reasons:-
[a] (often) for older flats, elderly may sell after their children had grown up.
[b] upgrading to new flat
[c] financial or marriage problems and related issues
(Try to find out more, if one can).

- My front main entrance door
going into my house, faces a
wall. Must I hang a cross on
the wall? For fengshui

when I turn and walk in
towards my living room or at
the door itself which faces a
wall?

I can understand, some say that when one opens the main door, one `bangs' against the wall.
In fact, this is considered a common layout not only for housing board (HDB) and even for condominiums. Often, although this is not the best layout, nevertheless, there is no need to place a cross on this wall.
Often the wall can be left bare. Some would prefer instead to place a meaningful calligraphy on this wall or even a scroll of flowers like the fu gui hua / peony flowers etc..
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Thank You Cecil for your advice.
I do have a scroll to hang on the wall that is facing my main door entrance
as you advised. However, it is not a scroll with flowers but with a
waterfall. Is it alright?
Also, about my resale flat, you were saying to find out the reason why the
previous owner wanted to move out of the flat. I found out that they have
migrated to Australia as the owner of the flat has been posted by his
company to work in Australia so the whole family went together.
Pls advise if this is OK.
Best Regards
Emily
