The old Singapore HDB estates, primarily constructed during the 1960s and 1970s, reflect the country's early efforts in public housing development, showcasing a significant period in Singapore's urban planning history. These estates serve as a testament to the evolution of housing solutions in response to the growing population and urbanization challenges of that era.

As a result, there exists a cavity situated directly beneath the squatting toilet, featuring an opening that permits the disposal of human waste into one of these oval containers. When the bins are full and ready for collection, individuals [e.g. shown in the photo] would extract these tin-lined waste containers and secure a lid over them in preparation for transport to a truck equipped with multiple compartments for waste disposal.

The Holistic Approach to Feng Shui

Based on the limited information, can only apply what is simply COMMON SENSE FENG SHUI Simply, when one enters a bedroom, more or less one can already envisage where the bed could be placed. Encountered this before? Visually, seen the bedroom door, the windows, the wardrope location and for the master bedroom the attached bathroom door. "Worse still if one has to place a King or Queen sized bed! LOL 1. Based only on general Feng Shui, and given that you may be using a Queen sized bed (width is 5 feet) and King sized bed is 6 feet, there is very limited location where the bed-head can be placed. 1.1. This is the best that you can apply or try to fit the bed to the room bearing in mind that there are windows, openings e.g. bedroom door and cabinet accessibility. 1.2. The above cannot be really considered as "Perfect Placement" since there are THREE (3) SCIENCE OF FENG SHUI WHICH ARE UNFORTUANTELY MISSING LINKS TO THE ABOVE. Want to really know what is "PERFECT PLACEMENT?" 2. When it comes to proper Feng Shui: 2.1 Step 1: a chart, sample is attached is prepared: 2.2. Step 2: Bedroom is reviewed based on several criteria: 2.2.1. Optimal Bed-head direction is looked at based the person's best bed-head direction: APPLYING EIGHT HOUSE CONCEPT 0R 4 GOOD/BAD with 2.2.2. In this illustration one will notice the Master Bedroom windows are located or influenced by the East sector. (Based on Eight House / 4 Good- 4 Bed directions) 2.2.3. The qi or energy coming into the Master bedroom favours Mrs = her "Health". While for Mr is his "Spook". 2.2.4. Thus there is no accident why Mrs is suppose to sleep closer to the Master windows. Where Mrs acts more like a knight in shiny armour shielding Mr who sleeps closer to the wardrope / toilet. 2.3. Step 3: Applying Flying Star Feng Shui - which today found that East sector is now the Career and Overall luck/ (Already started in 2021 till 2043). Here, Flying Star can also provide a guide whether Master Bedroom is a good or bad sector. As in this case, today, it is a good sector. APPLYING FLYING STAR FENG SHUI 2.4. Step 4: Applying Ba Zi Feng Shui with Flying Star to determine the best colours for e.g. East Master Bedroom:- APPLYING BA ZI FENG SHUI Based on this.... 3. Without the above, THREE (3) concepts it is as good as go with your feel. 3.1. Unfortunately, without the Science of Feng Shui: a. Eight House / 4 Good-Bad b. Flying Star Feng Shui c. Ba Zi Feng Shui 3.2. Can only reply on general Shapes and Forms. Might as well, frankly, get hold of a COIN and do this:- + APPLYING COMMON SENSE OR COW SENSE FENG SHUI, HERE Actung! Caution The Science of Feng Shui is the missing link.

Hi Cecil, can I ask u whether The Bayshore condo unit is good fengshui as the interior layout all are odd shape? All developments have their good, the bad the ugly. Thus the good ones.. no issue even with odd shape. But bad ones not great

Very unusual stall name. Botak in Malay means bald head. Hopefully won’t get bald after eating food from this stall. LOL Like this one. The gravy or sauce is light and nice. Leaves no weird or strange after taste unlike from some other stalls. $4.50 minced meat and meat balls version. Add $1.20 for three wantons. (As they also sell wanton noodles).

Katong Park was opened in December 1931 and back then it was super popular because of its location next to the sea (during that time… East Coast Park did not exist! It was Singapore’s first public sea swimming enclosure with a bandstand, changing rooms and a playground. Food was sold in the Silver Owl Cafe as well as by vendors along Meyer Road.

Yes, our world revolves around? Common Sense LOL Yes! A degree in Common Sense is.... FREE!

3. You wrote: 4. My third question is related to the way that elements relate to one another. When an element produces another, does it weaken itself? does this mean that for example in order to cure inauspicious metal there are two options 1) use fire as a destructive element and/or 2) use water to draw out the metal to produce more water and weaken itself? 3.1. Frankly, this is highly academic. And there are many available resources out-there where one can study and have mastery of this subject. 3.2. The above is known simply as the "FIVE ELEMENTS". And it is one of the most fundamental subjects as it applies to many fields of study. Such as Ba Zi (Four Pillars) and Flying Star Feng Shui. 4. My fourth question relates to electrical appliances. I see that this might “drain” a direction (good or bad). Does this also apply to an electric oven, electric stove in the kitchen? The conflict for me comes from the an understanding that the stove is an auspicious creator of energy - is this mistaken? Context: Our SW excellent line runs through the kitchen directly through electrical stove and oven. 4.1. Unfortunately, this subject is highly subjective. And opinions can differ greatly amongst various Feng Shui practitioners. 5. My fifth question relates to outdoors or feng shui in a garden. I read somewhere that it is not really useful to use flying star analysis for outdoor spaces. Do you agree with this perspective? is there a certain school one should prioritise or any general guidance to follow when placing things like barbecue, sitting space, water feature, bird house, vegetable patch on the property’s facing side? 5.1. Time and time again, we are asked to advice on landscaping Feng Shui. Just last year, a fairly new condo asked me for Feng Shui advice on what to do with their frontage circular plot: water position or plant landscaping etc... 5.2. A good mastery of Shapes and Forms Feng Shui is essential, here.

1. You wrote: My first question is - is it right to prioritise flying star elements above the default shapes and forms elements when deciding on cures? Context: My initial thought was that I could use destructive elements to weaken the traditional “shapes and forms” elements of the ‘bad’ directions for my family (We are all SW people). I initially wanted to cure South (fire) by hanging a painting of water/blue. However when I see the Flying Star analysis for period 9 facing SE2 (which I understand is a more accurate school?), facing 3 star in S is inauspicious wood so you suggest to use fire to exhaust and weaken. There is therefor a conflict between using water or using fire to benefit this location. 1.1. In general, this the primary comment is "The Shapes (Shapes and Forms) prevails over the stars (Flying Stars)". This statement implies that Shapes and Forms comes first before Flying Stars. But do note that this applies more for external Feng Shui. 1.2 While there is some truth when it comes to applying interior Feng Shui, then Flying Stars makes more sense with regards to cures or enhancements if any. 1.3. Frankly, your other information is too theoretical. We normally look at a chart showing the actual layout and prepared then comment. As the saying goes... A picture paints a thousand words.... 1.4. This is an overview of how I would apply Holistic Feng Shui: 2. You wrote: My second question relating to shapes and forms is related to the use of religious symbols to cure the death line. What can you do if the house is secular and does not actively observe religion? Are there other non-religious symbols or objects that can be used that represent life? 2.1. Feng Shui is non-religious. But there are many Feng Shui masters either impose their religious beliefs into their Feng Shui Practice and/or find it Highly Lucrative to incorporate commercial symbols or objects in their practice. 2.2. The later motive is FIRST = FENG SHUI STORE mentality and 2ND, a Feng Shui Master. Many abuse this "authority" and Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store in disguise Beware: Even those who claim to have a Feng Shui lineage are equally guilty of this Ask: "Must I buy from you?"

Advantages of Point Block as narrated via the Sales Brochure of Liv @ Mountbatten Source & Credit: Liv Marketing Pamphlet Every unit is a corner unit Each tower comprises only 4 units on every level. There is minimal wall-sharing chance with neighbouring units. This ensures exclusivity and privacy, while maximising natural light and ventilation. Simply, it is like owning a Semi-detached home in the sky.

More to do with Nice-To and not a Must-Do if there are constrains Yes, it is nice to have the stove NOT sharing the same wall of the bathroom especially if it is back to back with a WC. However, what will be worse-off especially if this is a high-rise to place the stove with the upper floor neighour's sink pipes directly above the stove.

This type of Hokkien Poh Piah is not exactly Tim Sum. However, the smaller ones are fried and also can be found at Tim Sum stalls… $2/- each. Healthy because asked for minimal sweet black sauce. Not expertly cut as often did not cut- thru totally. As in this sample:- At least mainly vegetables… suppose to be healthier.
