Dear Stan,
1. In general, it is an acceptable block (although) it may seem that Blk 759 is entrapped. But on second look, it still has air pockets that channel in between blk 755 and blk 760. Still OK here.
2. In general, again, the block is rectangular in shape and is a `safe' design as many of the units are therefore; rectangular in shape.
3. I believe, the `over-pricing' is due to it's "choice" location; as it is close to the Yishun MRT, North Point Shopping centre hub and the bus terminus and many other HDB shops within this location inclusive of major supermarkets like NTUC Fairprice (at the MRT station), Cold storage, food outlets and coffee shop.
4. Frankly, other than the MRT (noise) which is bearable given the distance of the unit to the MRT; it should be relatively, noise free.
5. This round, I tend to agree with your dad's choice. Although, the view from both the living area/bedrooms and on both sides are not great, nevertheless, I personally feel that it is an acceptable site.
6. Yishun was one of the choice sites chosen by Teochew Feng Shui practitioners as a burial site because of it's good Feng Shui - for the dead in the past. With the successful exhumination done, many years ago; Yishun, started off around the 1980's - where it was not so popular at that time. In the past, when I drove past it, it was still highly under developed.
7. The only complaint about it is if one drives:( There is often a bottle-neck at Lentor avenue in the morning and evening traffic jam. Otherwise, it is still acceptable: if one takes MRT transport.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear All,
In the early 1980's, when I did my reservist training; during defence exercise at Sembawang/Yishun; some of the troops doing defence work; while digging defensive trench, found a wood coffin. This area is closer to Sembawang Park/upper Yishun or Yishun North area.
There is really no issue with this. Often, it is best that proper rites were performed and locations should be cleansed of all burial sites. This is more important for the first few years prior to the built up of flats in Yishun.
Today, or by now, all yin qi should have been cleansed since Yishun now is a hive of human activity; vehicular movement and much yang activity.
In fact, many parts of Singapore; where former burial sites were; have been invaded by human (yang energy). And most of the dead, had a neutral cleansing e.g. cremated. So no issue with it.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil
