Dear Anon,
Under the water classics, what you have done is correct.
For example, for a landed property, one of the things we look out for is the drainage running within the compound of the home/land.
For example, it is acceptable to see water flowing into the home. But at the point of water exiting the home, it is covered up or not seen.
You have placed two planks similar to the above concept of covering the drain.
If you cannot see someone coming into an office, one can place a small mirror on your workarea to improve on the blindspot of your home.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Cecil,
Thanks alot for your help on
the kitchen! Really appreciate
that!
I have a few more questions
which I need some help on:
1. Dining Table - (please see
attached picture A) If our
dining table is not placed
directly in front of the main
door of the house but sort of
on the diagonal side of the
wall, is there a problem with
it? How can we rectify if it's
a problem?Yes, this is very common and in-fact can be considered a "non-issue" or no-issue.
2. Living Room Windows (from
same picture A) We did away
with our balcony and converted
that to part of the living
room. But we realise that from
our living room windows, one
of the apartments from the
opposite block has a
four-faced buddha at their
balcony that kinda faces
almost directly towards our
windows. Is that considered
sha-qi and what can we do
about that?Traditionally, most people would place their buddha facing out of their windows. This is like sitting on a mountain, facing a water (window) position.
In my opinion, usually, your block or unit would be quite a distance away from the neighbour's. And it is not like their buddha intrudes into your home. In my opinion, this is also a non-issue. Much like someone's main door facing our main door. Not much we can do. It is not good to place a ba gua mirror or so facing back towards the neighbour since this is only a statute of a buddha.
Quote3. Master Bedroom window faces
T-Junction (see picture B) We
live on the 9th floor. But I
notice that our master bedroom
window directly overlooks a
pedestrian walkway between 2
HDB flats and towards a main
road and the LRT. A constant
breeze comes into the house
from here. Will that affect us
in any way and what can we do
about it?A pedestrian walkway is unlike a major road hitting into our unit. If this is a road, it may have an impact upto the 2nd storey apartment. But since you are at 9th storey or so, it is a welcome to have open clear space to allow air into your unit from this side.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

However, in many home layouts, it is very often common to have a toilet at the second level close to the frontage. This is less important than say the toilet directly at the frontage of a home.

Usually, it is better to consider it as a "leak".Some homes have very good Feng Shui; thus can easily buffer this one leak.

Dear Anon,
In fact there are several methods of caculating the gua (kua) no. In my applied Feng Shui book, I have listed more than two methods on this.
For curiosity, you can try out the several methods and check the final results. In fact, most of the methods works well for years less than 1999. For some methods, anything greater than 2000 may be an issue.
Warmest Regards,
CecilP.S. I had posted some of the methods in this forum -- quite sometime back. Maybe you could do a SEARCH in this forum for the formulas -- if you want to.

Dear Huey Ling,
Yes, this is classified as "human sha qi" especially if we continue to consider it annoying.
However, hopefully, you should get used to it. Perhaps you are a light sleeper. Some of us sleep like a "pig".
Is there any way of changing room or alternatively a cheaper method is get a pair of swimming ear plugs. Hopefully, this can help a little.
Alternatively, some of us play soothing music prior to sleep or drink a glass of warm milk.
Warmest Regards,
CecilP.S. Apologies, I am afraid, these are not Feng Shui cures. Perhaps, some are grandmother cures.

Dear Anon,
From your description, the house must seem very peaceful.
In fact, all of us one fine day must also die. (especially old age)
For your home, to me I feel that it should be ok. So long as you do not hang wind chime(s).
Since your home is further separated by a rural road, this is even better.

Dear Sharose,
Thanks for the picture.
Perhaps it is a coincidence that you got flu (i.e. maybe duly worried and have lowered your resistence to flu).
From a Feng Shui point of view, in my opinion, there seems to be no issue with the neighbour's fence.
However, I cannot see your main entrance, but looking at the roof of the neighbour's home is pointed towards roughly your foot-path towards your main door? If so, this can be a sha-qi.

Further to what I had mentioned, often, a good Feng Shui practitioner will often use "water element" instead of fire element (if given the choice to neutralise e.g. a #7 under Period 8 Feng Shui.)
As we have already known: #7 = weak metal element.
And under the productive cycle of the 5 elements concept, water helps to draw out "metal" or helps to reduce or neutralise it.Although the fire element can be used to "control" #7 or weak metal, under certain circumstances, it may not always be the best choice.
This is because, we should not forget that there are #5 and #2 both bad earth elements "floating" around the time dimension.
In a worst case senario where in the event that this same sector, or at this same sector, #5 or #2 or a combination of them flies into this sector, fire, may futher fuel bad earth -- inflaming it or making it worse.
Wherelse, a water cure is a better solution. Even if #5 or #2 flies to this sector, water which neutralises #7 can also easily drown #5 or #2 earth element or draw it out.
If we are to apply the five elements concept effectively, we should try to understand both productive and destructive cycles and their implications on each other.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear AC,
Although 7's are good under Period 7 i.e. 1984 to 2003; in 2004, it happens now to be the "past prosperity" or "gone prosperity".
It is OK to have a fire-place at this sector. Since under the destructive cycle of the five elements:-
http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-5element.htm
Fire is used to control Metal (where #7 belongs to the weak metal element).
Therefore, a fire-place here is in-fact a blessing in disguise.
In addition, since the year star is #8, for this current period #8 is the current prosperity. And is associated with the earth element.
A fire-place (fire) can further help fuel #8 auspicious earth element.
Thus, again, it flows well with the sector.
Warmest Regards,Cecil

To be truly honest, pending just a few lines of text (similar to what you had provided) is much like a wild guess.
The information provided does not even remotely take into consideration many factors or lots of information are incomplete.

Dear Oliv,
Firstly, Good Luck in selling of your home!
Most of the time, the practical advise is/are:
1. Where possible, if the home needs a fresh coat of paint, this is a very good investment.
2. If the home is tenanted or occupied, it is always best to keep the home neat, tidy and remove as much clutter as possible.
Generally, from a Feng Shui point of view, unless the home has some good sailent Feng Shui advantages e.g. it has a good view, or the home is e.g. a NE facing etc... Here, the buyer should be appreciative of what is good Feng Shui in particular for the home.
Otherwise, most of the time, price is one of the major considerations as well as how well the house has been kept.
Sometimes, if the estate is an old estate, there can be a one-off chance that some people who may be interested are those who have children and have relatives e.g. parents / parents-in-law staying close-by.
In Singapore, nowadays, if one owns a Five room HDB apartment and it is no where near to good amendities or MRT / LRT, these homes (no matter what) may be harder to sell!
If your home has North-South facing direction, often, it is good to add to the description of the sale of the home
Wishing you the best of luck in your sale of your new home.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Home Improvement
Need to fix your house without breaking the bank?
Here are some Feng Shui home solutions to help bring positive change.
Nothing beats moving into a new home. There is the excitement of shopping for furniture as well as the anticipation of spending the next phase of your life in a spanking environment. To make your abode a sanctuary where yon can be happy and fulfilled requires more than just a good decorator. By using feng shui, you can bring out the positive effects of your abode through organization of space, positioning of furniture, display of art and use of flowing lines.
Cecil Lee, Principal Consultant and Founder of GEOMANCY.NET: Center for Applied Feng Shui Research offers simple solutions to these scenarios:
What should I do about the beams above my bed? Add two bamboo flutes on either end of the ceiling or consfruct a quarter shaped ‘flower’ cornice to hold up the ceiling.
Are false ceilings and double-decker beds considered variations of beams over people sleeping below them? A false ceiling is not the same as a beam because firstly, the material is not made of concrete and secondly, it is usually of a wider area.
As for double-decker beds, if you look carefully; the entire surface of the upper bed is flat and not concentrated like a beam. For years, many people have slept in double-decker beds and have not suffered any ill effects!
My child’s bedroom doubles up as his study. Does the presence of open shelves mean there is too much “sha chi”? Weigh the balance between the convenience of easily accessible books against the “difficulty” in finding one’s (books) resources. It is advisable for the child to have a proper study tabic with stationery and other materials at hand. What is important for a child’s bedroom is to have a proper balance of yin (rest/sleep) and yang (study). Since many children do not have the luxury of separate bedrooms and studies, it is good to have their own study area in a corner of the bedroom.
There is a great deal of cross ventilation in my flat making it very windy, is it true that too much wind can blow good chi out of the window? Contrary to popular belief, in addition to the placement of furniture, it is advantageous to have wind coming into die home from as many directions as possible. This helps to circulate stale chi and improve the airflow in the home. At times, when there is too much cross ventilation, ideally, one can close certain windows to reduce this effect.
How do I brighten up my dull bathroom without having to do a major renovation? By all means, go ahead and brighten it up with sticker tiles or other decorative items for bathrooms such as themed artwork or floral designs. There is also no harm if one chose to place fresh flowers in the toilet!
My windows open out to a power station, what should I do to counter this? In Singapore, a power station is often in the form of a rectangular building. For condominiums, it is usually separated by a service road. If one stands at the window looking out, and the view of the power station does not “slice” or “cut-into” one’s home, then there is really no issue here.
However for those who want to play safe, you can look into placing a set of blinds at the window which can let in light and ah. Alternatively; a reflective sun-x film can also be used.
The previous occupants had an indoor water feature. Should I have it removed? The basis of feng shui revolves around the Five Elements, namely water, wood, lire, earth and metal, which arc considered the building blocks of life. They interact, shape and stimulate our daily life. Thus if one wants to keep the water feature, it should ideally' have all the five elements in it.
Generally speaking, it is riot advisable for a person, who’s Ba Zi (Pillars of destiny') is a weak fire element, to own a water feature since llie water element can destroy or diminish his weak fire. On the oilier hand, a weak water person can benefit from a water position.
There is no magic involved in feng shui and no quick-fix feng shui solutions. Tn order to reap the most benefits, one should consult a professional master to do a proper reading.

Dear Anon,
Perhaps, this could be a coincidence.
Note: this is not Feng Shui, but is quite common activity for some Chinese that are truly down on their luck:-
However, for the Chinese, some would prior to taking a bath:-
1. purchase a few limes. Cut the limes into 4 quarters.
2. purchased assorted flowers.
get ready the above and place them in a small basin of luke warm waterAfter bathing, just pour this water with lime/flowers over our head .
Next, dry ourselves with bath rope. And collect the items and throw them away.
Often, avoid going into the toilet for the next 2 hours or so.

Dear David,
The idea behind the 7th month is that when we TAKE POSESSION of a home, some fear that during the seven months, spirits may wonder into our new home.
Just last year, I believe, there was an article in the Straits Times, Singapore that says that some developers were even launching new developments during the seven month.
It would be rather silly to say that when we sign an option to purchase a home, the ghost would follow us to sign the agreement?
Does this make sense or it is a silly notion?Why are we so afraid of doings things in the 7th month?
If the whole world is afraid of the 7th month then:
1. No one wants to travel e.g. fly.
2. No one wants to "play" go on vacation etc...
3. No one wants to work?There is a difference between signing an agreement e.g. booking an apartment vs at least the notion that when we just moved-in, into e.g. an empty home, some people may perhaps fear that some wondering ghosts could be staying in the home. And thus want to avoid disturbing it etc...
Anyway, these are simply man or (Chinese person's fears). Imagine what would it be like since the world does not always follow the Chinese perception of the hungry ghosts. Certainly Muslims, Christians and Catholics and other religions do not even think about this period.
Actually, for the Chinese 7th month, the most important day is the 7th day of the 7th lunar month. While some pray during the 1st of the 7th month (tonite -- 16 August) and the 15th lunar month.
As mentioned in my earlier message, there is no harm in booking say a vehicle during the 7th month. In fact, factually, I am going to collect my new vehicle during the 1st week of September or earlier than 13 September 2004 - the last day of the 7th month.
If everyone is so scared of the 7th month, better to stay at home. Or take the opportunity to create nuisance in our world and get jailed during this period -- erh to feel safe? Do we want to do so?
Warmest Regards,
CecilQuoteOn 8/16/2004 4:57:56 AM, Anonymous wrote:

Dear Anon,
Frankly, for a car, I personally find that it is not a major issue.
However, for a home, it is more important consideration i.e. to avoid moving in during the Chinese 7th month.
(For those who are not aware, the start of the Chinese 7th month is 16 August 2004 to 13 September 2004). Traditionally, the most important day of the 7th month is the 7th lunar month of the 7th month.
In my opinion, there is no issue in booking a new car before or on the 7th month.
Frankly, I have booked a vehicle two months ago. But, due to delay i.e. shipment delay, my new car will arrive during the Chinese 7th month. And I would most likely according to the car company Sales facilitator -- collect my new car around the first week of September. Which is the Chinese 7th month.
To be honest, I don't take it as a taboo or worry that much.
Quotei'm planning to buy a new car
.. the car dealer is 'pushing'
me to close the sale ASAP,
Yes, this is usually the ploy of most sales person to try to make us close the deal early.The only "disadvantage" for some in buying a car during the 7th month has more to do with monetary amount. As often, some car companies try to bid for the Certificate of Entitlement or COE. And it was felt that usually during the 7th month, the COE can be lower.
Thus, if this is so, one's future scrap value of a vehicle can lower our book value during over-trade or resale -- when buying a new vehicle.
For a matter of interests, many Singaporeans love to bid for new car numbers:

Dear Anon,
Frankly, this has not much to do with the need to place a symbolic object to "neutralise it".
But rather, this issue has more to do with the "Commonsense approach" to Feng Shui.
This is because, most of the time, it was felt that chances of a fire occuring in a home -- the most likely occurence could be from the kitchen. And since fire and heat travel upwards, this is our main concern.
But in modern times, I would rather "invest" in having smoke detector(s) -- if you have not one already fitted than the bottle gourd.
Here, there is a good chance that (touch-wood) in the event of a fire -- the smoke detector would go off and warn us. But the bottle gourd would be like an empty vessel -- which unfortunately does not make any noise at all!
Bottle gourd = dead man tell no tales
Smoke detector = may perhaps make some of us "temporary deaf" but hey! It does save lives!
For those who live in Singapore, there is a recent government or some fire safety bureau campaign -- ie. one can purchase a smoke detector from any of the petrol stations e.g. Shell / Caltex and Mobil-Exxon for a reasonable price of around S$30.00
Why not take the opportunity to install one at your home!
(Usually once installed, should the battery run low, many of the smoke detectors would give some "warning". Or do remember to change the battery say every 6 or 9, 12 months)

Dear LH,
Thanks for the clarification.
Yes, using the adage: "If one cannot see it, it no longer becomes a threat".
In your example, since the stove does not face the main door (directly) in full view, it is not a "threat" to it.

geomancy andhave
researched your responses to

but still can't find the
answer to my question.I am very glad that you find the resources in this "old" forum useful
I live in a townhouse, which
faces SW1 (if I stand in front
of the house with a compass in
my hand). From the center of
the house to the front door,
it's SE3.
I'm an East person with SE as
my excellent direction and SW
as my spook direction.
So if I want to run a
flying star report on my
townhouse, which direction
should I choose, SE or SW as
the main door?You should use SW1.
This townhouse was built in
1983, but in 2001, we had the
whole roof replaced, the
outside of the house
repainted. In 2000, we
replaced the linoleum in the
kitchen and the bathrooms with
tiles. In 2002, we
replaced the carpet in the
dining room and the hallways
with tiles. So is this
townhouse a period 6 or period
7 house?When you totally replace the roof of your Period 6 home, in 2001, your home should have flown to Period 7 - flying star Feng Shui.
In your case, actually, there is no harm to try and work on both Period6 and Period 7 Flying star Feng Shui.
Since you have stayed in your home for quite sometime, you can take the opportunity to see which chart (P7 or P6) that is a better match to your home.
The above method of doing two charts is in my opinion, a practical and sound practise amongst good Feng Shui practitioners and equally applies to everyone keen to understand their home birth chart.

Dear Anon,
As the Pinnacle will be one of the tallest housing board apartments, usually at the higher floors, in my opinion, there is not a major issue in either looking out to the bay or city , harbour view.
What is more important considerations are:
1. Commonsense approach to Feng Shui
Where possible, avoid having the unit balcony, bedrooms directly facing the afternoon WEST sun.
What would be worst is an apartment that is facing exactly West to East (Or East -- west) apartment. Here, the apartment will not be spared the mercy of both morning and afternoon sun!
2. Under Flying Star Feng Shui
Facing directions like NE is particuarly auspicious under Period 8 (which the pinnacle will be built within this time frame).
Other facing directions are double 8's at the frontage such as the balcony area.
3. Under Eight House theory
Also try to see if the home can match our ba zi or eight house.
Generally, the above are the things to note if we are applying Feng Shui to any homes or apartment.
Warmest Regards,

Dear Anon,
As mentioned earlier, it is illegal or it infringes copyright to simply "cut-paste" things like location maps without manually adding words like source and credit to the respective copyright owners.
The easiest alternative is to create a hyper link to the source.
For example:-
The above is an acceptable convention, as it will bring us to the exact site to view the layout plan.
Warmest Regards,
CecilP.S. We do not want to get into trouble with regards to copyright infringements.

Even if we want to, we have to
manually add in a Source and
credit. For example the two
layout plans should have a
source and credit to e.g. "
Streedirectory.com " etc...
If you have read, in
particular, this site
streetdirectory.com is very
particular and exact a high
compensation for "stealing"
their maps.
Thus, please note that
immediately after posting this

entire attachments that you

Frankly, it is much easier to
"cut-paste" their url link
into a message. Here, so long
as the link goes to the
relevant site, it is a hyper
link to the source.
Appreciate for anyone else
posting attachments, please do
not cut-paste such materials
again. As I will immedately
remove the message totally.
Until you do so, I am going to
view the attachments.

Dear Master Cecil,
Recently
my parents decided to
downgrade and
bought a 4-room
semi-corner HDB flat
at Pasir
Ris. I was very upset
about
the whole thing for I
felt
that they didn't see
enough
houses during their house
hunt
and made a hasty move to
buy
this flat. I've been
soo
worried that the FS of
this
flat is no good and soo
afraid
that bad things would
happen
if they moved in. Reason
for
my worry? Well, many
years
ago, a FS master told me
that
my parents' house (the
one
they just sold) was very
good
for them and that they
should
never ever sell it! But
now,
not only have they sold
it,
they went out to buy the
flat
at Pasir Ris at such a
short
time!! What's worse was when
I
tried to apply the Eight
House
Report to the house
layout,
itseemed like
death
ordisaster was
gonna
occur!! I don't know if I
did
a wrong reading cos I'm
no
expert and it's the 1st
time
I'm doing this though.
My
parents just think that
I'm
being superstitious
and
silly.I have
attached
the Layout of the Flat,
My
Dad's Renovation
Plans,
anda Pasir Ris Town
Map
to show the location of
the
block (Blk767). I hope
that
you could take a look at
them
all and advice ifit
was
really a bad buy! Help!
Thanks
A Million!

Dear Leng,
In practice or in a practical world, it all boils down to "How can we maximise -- marks in our Feng Shui examinations".
Thus, every little area counts. thus, things like how well a house suit us, how many major leaks (if any) can or cannot be fixed etc...
Therefore, we cannot only simply eat and sleep on Flying star Feng Shui alone. But it depends on the wider picture - external environment that our home is in.
