Yes, there is no running away from stove at NW

Ideally, such discovery was to be made before purchase, not after. But, that's LIFE

Ok thanks Master.

Case Study: Please note this is not Feng Shui but rather as the article claims based on scientific studies in the US

Gas vs Electric &/or Induction Stoves

"Stoves are in the news a lot right now, as scientific studies show that gas stoves are bad for people’s respiratory health, causing one in eight childhood asthma cases across the U.S. "

Study finds more evidence gas stoves are bad for human health: ‘Worse than secondhand smoke’

It is possible for a glass panel behind the stove to create the illusion of two stoves due to its reflective properties. This could mistakenly suggest the presence of two stoves in a home. This may humorously symbolize the idea of a husband being wealthy enough to have two wives, but it is purely a visual trick.

Hi, Master Lee, can we clarify on the backsplash part of the kitchen, is it ok to use glass as the material as u mentioned something abt possible 烂桃花 for the guy of the house if there r too many reflective surface. We r not putting any mirrors in the kitchen

Earlier, I mentioned that is has more to do with "grandmother tales". So no issue if you want a glass backing. Just that if Tai Tai's friend later cry fowl about it; don't come and confront me, okay already

In Summary

I previously stated that it is more related to "grandmother tales". Therefore, feel free to have a glass backing. However, if Tai Tai's friend complains about it later, please do not approach me, understood?

Morning Master Lee~ our new kitchen layout like that is it ok? Any clash?
 

Leave some gap for heat allowance for the stove … move it further to the left if possible. 

And try not to have obstructions between the stove and sink.. to be able to move pans etc immediately to the sink. Thus best that stove or sink are closest to each other without any equipment in between the two

The rest of the photos are okay. [hidden/removed]

 

Swap: (rice cooker with stove) But leave at least 30 to 40 cm is best between sink and stove

[Cecil Lee]

 

hi Master Lee, we reconfigured the kitchen and put it at the area which was formerly the store, toilet and helper room, is it workable?

The rest okay. 

But very inauspicious to have the stove and oven close to the Centrepoint of the house.

In addition, who in the right mind will place such items next to the stairs. Common sense says, when (touchwood) there is a fire and smoke, and the first thing is the smoke can engulf the upstairs …. Plus if windows grilled up…

Frankly, if this idea is from an ID, I will not use him/her -at all. Don’t play with other’s life.

[Cecil Lee]

This is rooted in common sense.

Hi Cecil, wondering if only height of kitchen cabinet matter which u have mentioned 34 inch. Then other things like shoes cabinet height anything is fine. Is it ?

Only the kitchen table top is most crucial and

Altar Dimensions:

Standard height for any altar: 125cm to 128cm. If a piece of glass is to be placed on the altar, then go for 125cm.
Width depends on your needs: 18cm to 23cm or 40cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm
Length: 41cm to 43cm or 59.5cm to 69cm or 71cm or 89cm or 107cm or 148cm

For example, a study table height is very uncomfortable if based on the fs dimensions etc

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM 

 

BEWARE OF THIS AGE-OLD FENG SHUI SCAM

No wonder, Feng Shui suffers from a bad reputation, today

Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui.
But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui.

Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one:

 

Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why.

Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES!

On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client

P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

ASK! MUST I BUY FROM YOU?

 

When the buying Stops! The selling Can!

 

Yes! Ask: "Must I buy from YOU?"

Good morning Mr Lee, can i check because my washing machine facing the washing basin area is too tight, we will have to move the machine slightly in and it will face the 炉灶. What can we do to minimise impact?

Reply: If front loading washing machine, then best to avoid the round glass panel facing towards the stove. If does not, then no issue

+++

Is facing the entrance of kitchen ok?

Most important the front loading glass portal does not face the stove hob(s).
What u mentioned, is not perfect. But not critical issue

The sink, or its basin, should not be positioned adjacent to the side of the stove, as this arrangement is considered unfavorable.

As the bed-head share the same wall as "XXXXXXXXX" MUST make sure It is essential to ensure that no stove, microwave, oven, toaster oven, or similar appliances are placed in the area designated as "XXXXXXXXX," as the bed-head shares a wall with this location.

Hi Cecil, I just finished reno and I checked the stove height and sink height I think the carpenter didn’t keep to my required measurement! Now my stove is 33.5 inch and my sink is 35 inch? Any concern? I can’t imagine tearing away the kitchen top and redo. So upset

Fortunately so long as between 33” to 35” is fine or okay. No need to stress out.

[Cecil Lee]

In the context of I-Ching, the presence of water at the center of a home signifies challenges. Consequently, it is advisable to refrain from placing a beverage nook near this central area, as it may lead to complications.

Master Lee, may I know if using induction cooker is no good for feng shui? Gas hob more ideal?

In the past especially around Year 2005 many would not want to use an induction cooker. But today, it is popular. And many 1 to 2 bedroom condo units always provide an induction stove. 

So far no issue with.

[Cecil Lee]

Any comments on this layout?

Feng Shui point of view Okay. But if unit is not the highest floor, there is a possibility the stove is below the upper unit's sink drainage pipe.

Oh okok. Will chk this out. Thanks!
