    I am confused about what directions to follow and how to draw the Bagua house sectors. Should I follow the one for 2021, or should I follow my KUA number lucky directions and Bagua house sectors? Please advice.

    thank you!

    Back to basic. Ask what are numeral systems. Why invented NESW, then geographic coordinate system (longitude, lantitude) on this sphere (Earth). Why people love to invent systems that play around with numeral systems and geographic systems??? Have these got to do with your 'luck'? What is luck? Any correlation between 'luck' to numbers, directions?

    There are many numeral systems - most commonly used is decimal positional number system (0,1,2.....9), computers use binary(0,1) and hexadecimal number systems (0, ,2....15 then reset, base 16). Our time/clock is using base 12 numeral systems.....These are purely 'numbers' - up to the users to define their usage and become meaningful, otherwise these numeral systems are 'neutral'.

    Earth comes with N and South poles. Then mankind assigned a East and West. Further, coordinate system was invented with longitude and latitude info indicating exact position of an object on the sphere (Earth). Again, the NESW system is 'neutral'.

    Luck happens only when preparations meet an opportunity. 'No preparation' but meets an opportunity is called 'blind luck' which involves no skills.

    Mankind needs food for survival. People invented systems to dig pockets of others, for food. Kua plays with decimal numeral system with inventor's own conversion in respect to one's BOD, then to makes it looks complex, associate the systems with cardinal directions. However, what have all these got to do with ones' luck? Search me.

    hi,

    Is any of the following bad fengshui (fs)? What remedy can I take? Appreciated.


    1. ?
    Is it bad fs if there is a beam right above main door?

    Been sleeping under beams and concrete ceiling with enforced steel embedded for donkey years. What 'bad' can these bring? Better than sleeping/staying with open sky, right? Better to sleep 'under a roof' right?
    If its bad, what is the remedy?

    2. ? 
    Is it bad fs if there are concealed shoes cabinet at both side?
    Shoe cabinet best to be open-type with well ventilated environment. Keep 'salted fish' in the refrigerator is a FS issue?

    3. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the mirror (m) faces concealed shoe cabinet?
    Mirrors shall be placed at strategic locations for its intended functions therefore maximise the effect. Can see mirror-conceal shoe cabinet relationship, unless the shoe wearers constantly need that mirror to see something that he/she can see directly.
    If its bad, what is the remedy?

    4. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the bedroom door faces partial
    open concept kitchen though there will be dining table in between the bedroom and the open concept kitchen?
    To each his preference. No good nor bad. Only like and dislike. 
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the bedroom door faces partial open concept kitchen?

    5. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the bedroom door faces partial common toilet?
    Ditto.
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the bedroom door faces partial common toilet?

    6. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the master bedroom door is open to the left?
    Not specific question, I assume you refer to 'left-swing' door. This has to do with 'flow' and whether you are right-handed or left-handed. Right-handed tends to find 'right swing' door more convenient. Image you use left hand to open a 'right swing door' and right hand to open a 'left swing door'. If a house come with many inconvenient 'flows' or structures, do you regard these as good FS ?

    We change environment to suit our 'tastes', 'conveniences' or whatever you may term. When environment is at upper hand, we need to 'blend in' for co-existence.
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the master bedroom door is open to the left?

    7. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the master bedroom door is near to the master bedroom Toilet door?

    Image this: a guess at your home while you are using toilet with MDR door open and happen he can view into the MBR. It is a privacy than FS issue.
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the master bedroom door that is near to the master bedroom Toilet door?

    8. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the master bedroom door opens rested on the wall of two toilets?
    I'm perfectly ok, as long as not obstructing 'my way'.
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the master bedroom door opens rested on the wall of two toilets?

    9. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the air con is installed above the master bedroom Toilet door?
    Concern should be the best location that the fan coil could send the cool air to the right space.
    If its bad, what is the remedy if the air con is installed above the master bedroom Toilet door?

    10. ? 
    Is it bad fs if the electronic appliances (small fridge) faces the bed head though a mounted small ledge in beteern the bed and the electronic appliances?
    No fridge at 'bed ROOM'!  Otherwise very likely will make you lazy and fat!
    If its bad, what is the remedy if electronic appliances (small fridge) faces the bed head?
    Appreciated.

    Does anyone know if unit number 169 is good or bad?

    A numerical digit itself merely a symbol. Has neither 'good' or 'bad'.

    It is only when it is attached 'the meaning' then it becomes 'meaningful' and make sense.

    It you attach 'good' meaning to it, then it is good to you. If you attach 'bad' then it is 'bad'. Different people attach different meanings to numerical digit. Read enactment theory, sense-making theory, you will understand more.

    Hi All, I am sorry this could be a really stupid question so i have really been wondering about it so really need someone to lighten up the brain. 

    I would like to put a wall fan on where the flower is, and the fan will be a little on top of the walkway..

    that fan will fan the stretch of sofa opposite (in case you are wondering)

    is that okay in terms of fengshui?

     

    Thank you in advance!

    Wall fans are more practical for rooms with remote control . Need dismantle blade for washing every 1~3 months, so height is a concern.

    If to ventilate larger area like hall, dining area.... ceiling fan would be a better choice. 60 -inch diameter is good enough for HDB...

    I'm a newb here. Would like to get more tips from all the sifu and simou here pertaining to house feng shui.

    I'm in the midst of getting a new house. does the house number represents luck/wealth/health too? e.g i have viewed at house with of the number 25, 53 and 79. anyone mind explaining?

    One of the house faces the T junction with minimal traffic. Previous owner has planted a bamboo tree to block view from the T junction from the main door. If i were to shift in, should I chop off the tree and plant my own new one? As I googled they say, trees can block chi from entering the house which can cause bad health?
     

    'Numbers' matter in bank accounts that indicate anything and everything materially. Everybody wants this 'number' as higher as possible, with many zeros, and don't mind '4s' or '6s'. 

    If you got a poor 'number'  in exam paper, you know the consequences but may not be inauspicious to life.

    I have many 'numbers' need to be remembered, i felt very 'troublesome', these include phone numbers, car numbers, bank account numbers, credit card numbers, password numbers, house numbers..... 

    So what is the problem of the numbers associate with house? If you could afford a house mean you are somebody already, why allow numbers trouble you? Or you want many houses with same numbers?

    Can my interior designer (he is working alone, home based?) sue me for not paying up full amount?
    only paid around 50-60% of total amount.

    work not done within 30 days as promised. (going 3 months in a week)
    tiles wanted from korea, end up found out tiles are from china.
    cupboard not properly done, even after his carpentry people came up a lot of times
    a lot of things he ownself measured wrongly and blame others.
    a lot of defects etc etc....

    sorry for bad english. hope to get some reply......

     

    Why not?  For breach of contract whether terms are written or verbal expressed. This is business contract, not 'gift of love'.

    He needs thinks before acts.

    - Legal actions take $$$, time and evidence...

    - He wants win-win?, win-lose? Lose-lose?

    - Reputation, opportunity costs....etc

    I have a mortgage insurance on this current property.

    When I sell and upgrade to another property.

    Can I still keep my current mortgage insurance?

    'Yes' for private property but not for HPS in case of HDB.

    Mortgage insurance premium is determined by many factors, inclusive if tenancy-in-common or joint-tenancy.

    The same financial institution will 'revise' the the premium rate, term and conditions...for your new property. So, it is not 'transfer', but 'revise' simply the collateral is of difference value, your health/income/age, etc.....change over time.

    Hi all shifus, I am at a loss at where I should place my bedhead.

    South wall - it will be under a window

    West wall - Bedhead in line with opening of door seems like a bad idea

    North wall - Don't feel quite right when someone enter the room and I cannot see who is that

    East wall - Not too sure if it is alright sharing the wall with the toilet and a fridge behind the wall

    Can any kind souls out there advise?

    Thank you so much for all inputs

    Our body come 'toilet/stove/frig/basic....' built within 'limited space'. So, what're the problems?:D

    The 5-element theorem has been misused by her money-making sense, in the name of FS.:wacko:

    Positive feeling overcomes all. Before all, love your unit, rituals can be anything as long as others and you feel comfortable.

    You can try to rent furniture for a few hundred dollars a month. The furniture leasing companies have packages which can furnish you entire home.

    Not advisable, from finance perspective,  'to rent anything' for consumption,  simply that Ownership of assets remain with leaser not leasee at end of day.

    Earning capacity must be > spending capacity. If not, only God can help you.

    Any suggestion on how you guys can cover hectic workload and carefree lifestyle ?

    I have seen some of the CBD white collars have save time in working out in the office gym and stuff. But other than that what do you guys always do?
     

    Have your 1st bucket of gold first then keep the gold grows, then shake legs. 

    Don't envy those - Eat fat fat (pay $), membership to gym (pay $):yeah:This equates to turning air-con to coolest &cover with few layers of blanket to keep warm.

    SgHandyman - Vincent: Thanks to Mr Teo, Louise and Michelle for highlighting the above posting.

    We have taken this customer's ultimatum seriously that she wont pay for other jobs done if the cracked glass cover of the USED lamp is not replaced.

    Besides replacing the kitchen and bedroom lights with those USED lamps salvaged elsewhere, we also hacked off loosen wall tiles above the stove and installed a piece of black glass panel to cover the area. The customer has conveniently forget to mention that these works were not paid.

    If I were this customer, I would have use this monies to buy a beautiful lamp c/w installation by professional electrician.

    We shall not respond to further threads from the above posting after making our position clear. many thanks again and wishing all a Happy New Year 2011.

    'Jack engineering' business model is hard to survival here not mentioning appreciation. From the way a guy holds the spanner, i can tell his 'standard'.

    hi,

    I have heard before that platform bed is not good for FS and health, is it true? Any advice?

    My 1st hdb unit from primary mkt back then in 1992, MBR built with Nyatoh wood stripes of 4 inch height, whole room.

    King size bed on top of the wooden flooring that formed the 'platform bed'. Under the widow was a whole stretch of wooden low cabinets with sliding doors.

    Problems? Everyday wake up so flesh yet energetic..... for some 13 years and it produced me the 1st bucket of gold right after it was sold.

    On and off my children talked about how much they missed that unique flooring and bed and cabinets....they were made on that platform bed....:D

     


  16. Professionally speaking, the soak test should last for 24 hours instead of 4 hours for a more conclusive finding. The timing depends largely on the concrete permeability and thickness. You may read Darcy's Law for further understanding.

    Anyway, HDB Quality Group must have some certifications reaching the '4 hours' conclusion.

    If one can observe damp patches on the soffit within 4 hours, the 'leakage' is very serious and need immediate action.

    Water can be retained in the slab/concrete and slowly spreads horizontally and vertically, over months or even years and the damp patches can be observed on the soffit....(in another word - HDB is signalling 'Pls settle with your neighbor next time and don't look for me', if you opt out)

    It is often found the 'leakage' happens at floor trap area and stackers' (we don't call pipes) perimeter. The water 'travels' along the stacker wall (if waterproofing material not sticks to the stacker, or tall enough with the tile.....) then, i would say 'good luck'.

    I personally told the ID and supervised the contractor on this very particularly, in late 2009. 2016, HIP came, i opted in just to pleased my neighbour down stair tot there was a 'downgrade' in everything in the toilets.

    Hi anyone doing full height TV feature wall without false ceiling ?

    My ID said we cannot do full height 7 ft without false ceiling . He told me to reduce to 5 ft or make false ceiling .

    In our agreement , it is 7 ft and he already noted that we don't like false ceiling .

    And now started only that he told like that . Any suggestion please .

    Cabling/trunking is the consideration.

    I've a 12' x 8' feature wall with 6" false ceiling.


  18. This is a typical financing decision making case which requires the capital budget knowledges...(common 3 models are NPV, IRR and payback). However, these models are pretty tangible-approach (dead approach) with many assumptions that ignore many real-life factors that need consideration, examples: cashflow, liquidity.....

    You must know the interest compounding issues for comparing 2 or more loans, as well as HPS & HPY calculations. Daily, monthly, quarterly, yearly...make a lot of different and the 'problems' are lenders often lock these 'realities' within kitchen and present the 'presentable' in the restaurant. Unless you ask for key to access kitchen.....

    I made a related-decision in 2009 (now till in effect) :  Use both CPF OAs for loan financing while collecting CASH from renting out the unit. Made partial lump sum payment till OA has about 24 months instalment. I turn the cpf money into pocket money, why?


  19. So long as you have the 'means', any directions, floor.....all not a problem.

    The problems are HOW do these parameters of direction, floor......affect your 'means' ?. 

    Money is not the problem. The problem is no money.
