The Tropica unit good layout?

[myfs_139614]

Hi,

I'm highly impressed by your analysis on The Tropic http://www.infoserv.com.sg/review/tropica/index.htm

I'm interested to buy a 4 bed room in The Tropic, as it's facing Bedok Reservior. However, I'm very concern about the layout for this type A unit: http://www.infoserv.com.sg/review/tropica/centre-typea.htm

I have 2 questions here:

1. Does this unit have too many missing corners? If NE & SW corner all missing, is there any way to overcome it?

2. There are 3 toilets in the center of this unit, especially the guest toilet - not attached to external wall at all, big problem?

Your kind advice highly appreciated!

1. Your question is purely focused on micro-feng shui.

For example, an apartment does not only consists of the four walls in such a tiny apartment.

There is such a thing as MACRO Feng Shui. Macro Feng Shui have very high weightage: Shapes and Forms Feng Shui and also things like facing direction of an apartment.

For example, if an apartment has especially very good shapes and forms and flying star,definitely these havehigher weightage than the 3 toiletsyou are refering to!

Even if youone were to approach an A & E, even before getting to see the doctor? Don't the patient have to go thru a tirage? (French - term for investigation).

2. It is so simple ask a question: 3 toilets than how? orso many missing cornersthan how?

3. For your information, even in Feng Shui, it is ABOUT maximizing one's LUCK.

4. During the capture of Singapore by Japan, while many anticipate that Japan would invade from the south, the invasion comes from the north! Thus are you really looking at the right sort of leaks?

5. I believe I had received your call and I think you mentioned that the existing or previous owners are upgrading ... If they are upgrading then to these people have stayed in such a home.. are they at peril.

6. Even if there is a missing corner ar NE or SW, it has to be looked at e.g. NE where the kitchen is etc. or living room area or bedroom area or whatever. And how is the size of the missing corner.

7. You have to realistic. We don't live in an utopian world, look around, many apartments especially condomium units have lots of missing corner.

8. Of course, there are ways to circumvent - important missing corners.

9. Are you living in a real world or a make believe world? And like the Japanese invasion, I will not be surprised that when you are looking at leaks, most likely they are at the wrong locations. Where you may be looking at leaks from the south .. but the trouble spews from the NORTH.

10. Believe it or not, there is no such thing as a perfect home - unless one tries to built it up from scratch.

11. I have many clients who had lived in the Tropica, and many have upgraded to landed property. And they also have leaks you are so.. so concerned of!

12. If you want you have to conduct your own proper Feng Shui in relation to today and again like in the past, maximise your feng shui luck since this is now Period 8 and the apartment there was built under Period 7. A propery analysis of such things like Flying Stars will yield more fruitful result than whatever fears one may have of missing corners, toilets ... ...

Further to what I had mentioned, in several past messages; just ponder over these:-

1. Many don't realise that they are asking questions based simply on a 2-Dimensional info (2D).

2. 2D in the medical field is equivalent of roughly taking an x-ray photo. And then, questions start to follow on this on that ....

3. Nowadays, if one needs to really find out more; even a doctor will tell you: go for an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) of the specific part of the body. And a 3D map or cross-slice of the body can be looked at both in colour as well as each slice.

4. Maybe perhaps a large tumour may be seen as a blob or sometimes cannot be seen clearly as this is tissue - as x-ray is meant more for harder materials like bone.

5. Naturally, you have spent money to do an MRI to discover specific information.

6. Here, say showing alayout plan is equivalentof just a x-ray. And as it is not specific to a person (block,stack, unit).

7. Like modern science and technology, Feng Shui has many concepts and principles that need to be fully analysed. One has to use the full set of Feng Shui audit tools - in order to make a proper anlaysis. Some homes can easily weather - leaks as what you had mentioned; others may not...

8. Again, there are so many examples I can think off: I had also mentioned: you can't just run into a doctors room and "demand" an immediate answer e.g. I have frequent headaches! You must tell me ... Here, again one jolly well may have to take more tests or go for proper scanning, first. Before the doctor can really tell you what is really wrong.

Like an Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scan, recently one of my ex-clients made a huge effort and investment for the Can or Cannot Buy:- http://www.geomancy.sg

Dear Master Lee,fficeffice" />

I have engaged your services for an on-site audit 2 years ago. We looked at 2-3 units and finally you recommended me to buy a unit in Woodlands. I am glad to share with you that I made a tidy sum of 55kSGD by selling this unit in March 09, after collecting rent for 1 full year! For me, all the homework has paid off. I remember you making a remark that there would be few people willing to spend so much time to do all the ground work that I have done ? but it would be worth it ? this has certainly worked out for me.

THANK YOU!

I could not find the same package as previously anymore, where I can send more than 1 floor plans for your review. Hence, I?ve decided to spell our my requirements, so that you can advise me on the charges accordingly:

1. Review of 3 floorplans (2 are almost identical, just different facings)

2. Onsite visit on at least 2 of them (if deemed good to buy) ...... and more

Hi Master Cecil,

Thanks for the prompt advise. Sorry for the late reply as I went to overseas last week.

OK, I will contact you again on the site auditing, in order to have 3D investigation and maximize the luck

[myfs_139614]

Hi Master Cecil,

So sorry that I have not done my homework yet, too busy at work after came back ....

Wouldlike to check with you first: is it advisable to have site auditing in lunar 7th month?

Also, some people said that as long as we started do something in lunar 6th month, say just knock off a small thing, it consider renovation started before 7th month, so can continue in 7th month. is it advisable?

Thanks a lot!

1. Most importantly, Chinese don't like to move into a home during the following circumstances or "months":-

1. Qin Ming month

2. Some old folks advise their family members not to move-in during the 6th lunar month. As they consider 6th lunar month is half-way mark. Or 50-50. So to them, everything will become 50-50 or half-half.

3. 7th Lunar month.

4. If one one takes a closer look at what I had wrote, it is associated with the words MOVE-IN.

5. Of course, many try to be kiasu (scared to die) and nowadays, everything in the 7th month also very scared to do.

6. As you had mentioned, it is perfectly fine if one wants to - start renovations before the 7th month.

7. There is no issue having a Feng Shui practitioner go to a home anytime. It is not like the Feng Shui practitioner is going to move-in to the home or something like that.

8. In fact, there are many who sign on the dotted line for the purchase of a home even during the 7th month!

9. Actually, many Chinese don't realise, only one or two days in the 7th month is regarded as not so auspicious otherwise, some Chinese regard especially some days of the 7th month is being auspicious! For example, any or every 1st lunar day and the 15th lunar days of any Chinese lunar months are suppose to be auspicious days as this days are Full moon days.

Hi Master Cecil,

Thanks for the prompt response!

So can the renovation carry on in 7th lunar month, if it started any day before 1st day of 7th month?

Yes, this has been done by many people before.
