Staff Cecil Lee Posted July 24, 2018 Staff Share Posted July 24, 2018 Mayfair Gardens at 2 Rifle Range Road – Keep in view for further review when more details are available. Intermission… No, it’s not a golf club. But it’s definitely cooler! I have fond memories of the summit of Rifle Range Road and its rich history, including the origins of the Singapore Gun Club and the Singapore Rifle Range Association. When I was young, my dad, who was a member of the Singapore Gun Club, used to bring us to the Gun Club Range. The Singapore Gun Club was located on top of a hill. The club had a store modeled after gun shops in the US. If you’ve seen shows like Rambo II, you’ll know the type—members could simply go in and buy all kinds of ammunition and accessories, much like how we visit an Apple store today. He practiced shooting clay pigeons for leisure, not in competitions, using his personal shotgun. My father had a gun permit, and yes, he had a special cabinet built at home to store his guns. This was registered with the Singapore police at the time. Even when he wore a shotgun vest and fitted a rubber sleeve to the wooden butt of his shotgun, you could still see bruising on his shoulder afterward. That’s how much explosive power a twin shotgun can deliver without built-in recoil absorption. Watching him practice was always enjoyable, aside from the loud noise. Many weekends, after shooting, he would use a linseed oil-based lubricant to clean his shotgun. He also had an air gun. Even today, whenever I smell linseed oil, it reminds me of his guns. Once, his company's factory by the river at Jalan Papan off Corporation Road was infested with crocodiles. He bought special waterproof shotgun shells and I went with him to watch as he shot some of the crocodiles from the platforms. My father also enjoyed bat and bear hunting in Malaysia. He once bought a Winchester heavy-duty flashlight that used D-cell batteries and could be strapped to the forehead. It was the forerunner of today’s powerful searchlights, and it was a thrill for me to secretly play with it back then. Sorry for digressing—now, about the location. It’s a leasehold property with a 99-year term. For those considering a home at Rifle Range Road, you can share this story about the Singapore Gun Club and the existence of the Singapore Rifle Range Club. By the way, the Singapore Gun Club is still around today. Would you believe that I am now very familiar with Rifle Range Road and its grounds?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 25, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 Case Study 1 - Swings in wealth luck and health considerations with stacks/units surrounding marking in red "X". A bottle-neck or funnel can cause severe imbalances or vortexes in the flow of Qi that can affect health & wealth at Mayfair Gardens 1. Unlike the recent launch of sites like Jadescape, where all blocks are tower or point blocks. 1.1 Which has overall good qi flow all round each block. However, Mayfair Gardens is far from ideal especially around location marked in red as "X" see below:- Credit: PropNex - credit given by their stamp... 2. This development is much like a kelong or a large fishing ship laying a net to lure fishes to the location marked in red as "X" 3. Highly vulnerable to both poor health and luck especially during exceptional windy (really windy) days. On occasions, one can get a windfall but on many other windy occasions the opposite is true. 3.1. Highly unbalanced flow of qi = Stacks #19, #20 & #30. 3.2 Secondary vulnerable are stacks #06 & #29 3.3. Entrapped unit = stack 18. Extremely poor luck.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 25, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 25, 2018 Case Study 2 - "Commit suicide now!" But..but..it is cheap leh! Caveat Emptor! Let the SUCKER... sorry, I mean buyer beware... Why only #03-18. Please note that this is just an example only! It can also be #01-18 or #02-18 or #04... #06-18. Get it? LOL Under Shapes and Forms Feng Shui Stack #18 is inauspicious as it is entrapped Agent: "Sir, we sell you #18 cheap, cheap!" Potential Buyer (PB): "Fortunately, this is not Germany of the 1940's. Else my great, great grandfather would have hung the architect by the thinnest piano wire!" PB: "Nevermind! Please check for me TWO (2) things: 1. let me have the layout of the common corridors. As I want to know where the central rubbish bins are. 2. The name of the architect and his firm. I want to.... " Where am I??? I don't want to buy a "RUBBISH" unit, please! Don't face my main door!

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 26, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 Case Study 3 - Identify & study your the potential stacks/units for any "Hazards or dislikes (if any) 1. Red Flags: Avoid like the plaque 1.1. Bin Centre (and Generator Set), Powergrid, Transformer and Switch Room Substation. 1.2. Roof Water Tank - avoid directly above the unit. Unfortunately, cannot 100% confirm where it is now. Given that the development has not been constructed, yet. Even was told no, plans can change! 1.3. External units facing any neighbouring unit's block corner? 2. Low floors: Smells from BBQ - usually on Friday evenings to Weekends. However, if one loves the smell and (smoke?) then go ahead 2.1. BBQ Pavilion 2.2. Low floors extra careful of Club-house roof-lines and other gazebo and trellis roof lines (if any) 3. Are you adverse to noise pollution?: Usually from kids activities & playground 3.1. Kid's Pool 3.2. Water Play 3.3. Children's Playground 3.3. Spa 3 - Bubbling Stream Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 26, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 Case Study 4 - Inauspicious for the Stove to face a Sink (Master Bath). Close the toilet door when not in use There are many other similar layouts with the stove facing the toilet. Some layouts face part of the shower etc...

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 26, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 26, 2018 Case Study 5 - Although the Washer / Dryer is enclosed in a cabinet, I am always concerned with it being beside the all important stove. 1. Common sense tells us to use washing powder for laundry, though liquid soap is slightly better. 2. Sometimes, when we pour washing powder close to the stove, some particles can contaminate the surface or get into cooking materials like the wok. 3. It’s even worse when using the dryer mode, because clothes are often still damp and some detergent residue remains on the fabric. 4. When drying clothes, these residues can transfer onto cooking materials, which may pose health risks such as increasing the long-term risk of cancer, even if not immediately. 5. This is why, in the past, washers or washer-dryers were placed in a separate service yard. 5.1. Drying releases steam and vapors, and the cabinet isn’t completely airtight. I know it’s not like inhaling drugs, but this white powdery residue can be harmful over time—especially for babies and toddlers. Good luck! 6. It would be better if the sink and stove were located next to each other in a redesigned layout, with the washer positioned beside the sink instead of near the stove.

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 28, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 28, 2018 Case Study 6 – At this time, the only way to determine compass directions is by referring to the site map in the Sales Brochure Floor Plan. Currently, street maps such as streetdirectory.com show the existing enbloc block arrangements under section A, while section B highlights the new Mayfair Residences. Using roughly the "eye-ball" method, the two almost lined-up. But the site borders are slightly different, here. Maybe because of the TOP up lease?

Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 28, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 28, 2018 Case Study - 99 leasehold condos/EC/former privatised HUDCE enbloc & 2nd time as lucky? NOTE: THIS IS NOT FENG SHUI 1. Can I also (in the future) be 2nd time lucky as the 1st enbloc owners who otherwise if sold indivually will not get a windfall as via enbloc? 2. Please wake-up lah! Not even built-yet. Still long long time to go... THIS IS ECONOMICS OF CAN OR CANNOT BUY. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Cecil Lee Posted September 28, 2018 Author Staff Share Posted September 28, 2018 Case Study 7 - Inauspicious for the stove to directly share the same wall as the WC (Type C3a C3a Pes / D1 & D1 Pes) Another random sample: D1 and D1 Pes.. same situation... While for Penthouse Type PHC3a.. not perfect.. but better than the above examples: For PHC3a, although the stove shares the same wall as the Toilet, a consolation is that it does not share the same wall as the WC or sink.. better than nothing...
