Construction and sha qi

[Guest]

Dear Master Cecil
I bought a flat not knowing that an underground expressway is going to be
built right infront of my block. Although its underground, in the midst of
its building, there will still be noise and dust. It will only be completed
in 2007.
Meanwhile, may I ask will there be sha chi since there is construction going
on. I am staying on the 19th floor which is quite high so will there still
be "sha chi" travelling up.
Do I need any cures?
Thank You

Dear Anon,
Yes, unfortunately any construction work nearby can affect our lives especially if we are living close-by.
And, since work is done during the day, if one is working from home or is a house maker; or children needs to study then it will affect those who live in the house.
Therefore, there are two not favourable influences:
1. Noise pollution - hopefully, this is kept to the minimum or does not filter to your block/unit.
2. Dust - Hopefully, it is not as dusty. Since dust often has a way of finding itself into any home.
3. Again, hopefully, all these can be kept to a minimum.
Real-life interesting story:-
4. In Singapore, we have re-claim land along the Marina / Marine Parade location.
5. In fact, one hotel, tried to elevate itself on `stilts' to avoid a sinking feeling - i.e. as it was felt that a building built on it gives such an inauspicious connotation.
6. Although many of us know that construction or underground work is often at it's highest quality, some geomancers, would view it (unfortunately) negatively.
7. Look at it positively: In the long run, when it is completed, your apartment will continue to enjoy the peace and quiet. Compare this with quite alot of homes next to highways in Singapore. The sound can be very disturbing to say the least.
Warmest Regards,
Cecil

Dear Master Cecil
Thank you so much for your prompt reply.
Your reply is so realistic and comforting. You are not only answering a
question on Feng Shui but you are also trying your best to give advice and
consolation when the situation is irreversible, like mine. Frankly, I was
feeling very angry and agitated to have bought this house but after reading
your reply, I felt much better.
Once again, thank you for giving us this free forum to discuss our daily
problems and your fantastic website is so comprehensive and interesting that
I wish to salute you guys for your hard/good work. I am yet to complete
exploring your website and continue to do so.
Best Regards
