Have you ever explored the historical background of Balestier Road? Novena MRT & Novena Square were previously located on a Jewish cemetery. Alternatively, Balestier Hill Shopping Centre used to occupy a Chinese cemetery. Novena Church was constructed on the site of a former Chinese monastery. Here is a map of Singapore from 1954: - Presently, Kamgpong Chia Heng road has been replaced by Irrawaddy Road, which now connects Balestier Road directly to Thomson Road. Next to the former Thomson Road Police station stands the Thomson Medical Centre. Novena MRT and Novena Square were once located on a Jewish cemetery, while Balestier Hill Shopping Centre was built on a Chinese cemetery. Additionally, Novena Church was constructed on the site of a former Chinese monastery. This information is based on a 1954 map of Singapore.

Did you know, or for those who are remaining in the vicinity, that there exists a Muslim cemetery situated between Frankel Estate and Opera Estate? Let us take a journey back in time to the year 1954:- The cemetery was formerly referred to as the Mohammedan cemetery. In contemporary maps, it continues to be depicted merely as a Muslim cemetery. The cemetery remains in existence today! It is located south of the Flamingo Valley condominium and to the west of the Elite residences. Since 1954, the cemetery has existed for at least 60 years or more. Currently, Siglap Road connects to Fidelio Street, providing additional access routes to and from the Opera Estate. Historically, as Opera Estate was situated at a lower elevation, it was susceptible to flooding many years ago.

This is what the area surrounding HDB Buangkok Edgeview looks like on a 1954 colonial map:- In 1954, there was a road known as Jalan Tongkang Pechah. What remains of the road was demolished. And today, part of this road is within Seletar Springs condominium. Why was this road named: "Jalan Tongkang Pechah?" In the past, Sungei Punggol or the banks of this river was the remains of broken tongkangs. Thus the name Tongkang = boat and pechah = broken in Malay. Today, the last Kampong in Singapore is still there. But perhaps in a decade or two.. maybe no more. This is also how HDB Buangkok Edgeview gets it's name. As in the past, see map, there is a road : Lorong Buang Kok where this development resides today.

Personally, I have been to your Block/stack a few times when the development had T.O.P. Although it is right next to ____ and a ____ near the project, frankly, these aren't exactly next to your block/stack. However, there is always a bias or stigma associated especially if they have not been to your development and simply read your posting.

Northwave Executive Condo (EC) @ Woodlands View
Cecil Lee replied to Cecil Lee's topic in Singapore Property Review
Back in 1966, the site of Northwave EC would have been just off Ulu Sembawang Road, really right in the middle of nowhere. The Chang Pang Village was located to the east of this plot. -
Grandeur Park Residences - Which units are lucky today?
Cecil Lee replied to Cecil Lee's topic in Singapore Property Review
This is how the plot of land Grandeur Park Residences sits on. It is midway between Upper East Coast Road and East Coast Road. The major roads are still recognisable today. Including Tanah Merah Kechil Road. Oops! Directly North at 1 O’clock is a Chinese cemetery. To Grandeur Park’s five-o’clock are two cemeteries (1960’s) Chinese and Muslim:- -

[7.] Summary of Your Ten Deities: Authority or 正官 (Zheng Guan) 1. Authority or 正官 (Zheng Guan) refers to boss traits as well as leadership potential. 1.1. In a home this would be "Who's the Boss?" 1.2. In the office, this usually refers to "Leadership Traits". 2. Example 1: At Home - Husband is the Boss in the office. But a pussy cat at home. LOL! Compare the "Authority or zheng guan" of yours with your spouse or family member's! 3. Example 2: Home under new management: Just Married! She (wifey) is trying to shame me by asking me to hang this at our home's main door! SUCKS! 4. Example 4: At work or Uniformed Group 4.1 Leader has a 3 rating or more. 2nd in command = 2. A follower? 0 rating.

House is not at a T-junction but at a curve. This house at a curve can also be considered as facing a Sha Qi. These are TWO tests:- 1. Whether there is any likelihood of a vehicle ploughing into the home or an accident occurring at this spot ... with vehicles skidding or ploughing.... 2. Any protective barriers? For example: high walls or solid looking walls? Often if none, often for such homes they can still suffer from poor Feng Shui. Particularly poor Shapes and Forms. Many of such homes remain unrenovated by the existing owners for years on end. Until the cycle of someone buying it from the existing owners - do a major renovation or even redevelopment of it. Thankfully, the government (LTA) has installed a convex mirror on behalf of this home! How nice of them.
