Like what I've indicated in my earlier thread, I would like to reiterate that the effects of name changes are pretty subjective. 2 persons can get their recommendations from the same geomencer but it may work well for 1 but not the other. Name change is definitely not an answer or solution to improving a person's quality of life, that's if there are other inherent problems which has to be rectified by the person. Did u recall the hilton hotel's bridegroom who fell to his death on his wedding night while his bride was waiting for him in their hotel room? He was locked out of the hotel aisle after he went out into the emergency staircase, and eventually, fell to his death in total darkness but looking for a way out. It was published in the press that he has 2 names, one given by parents and the other which was totally different in pronounciation, a change of name probabbly given by a geomencer. And I even had a classmate during my school days where she had a name change (same pronounciation) but her father died in a freak accident (within a short period of time) as a carpenter when the kitchen wall cabinet crashed onto his head while he was taking a nap after lunch. Not sure if this has anything to do with change of names but somehow or rather, we'll have a strong tendency to conclude that it has.

Oh I see. There are many geomencers around nowadays. Unlike in the past (more than 10-20 years ago), there are only those few prominent ones in the industry. If it isn't an issue for you to rent out the other 1 or 2 rooms according to HDB regulations, then u could go ahead to do so. Can earn $$ to pay off the mortgage loan faster too! U can even ask the master to rate your rooms in order of preference.

Sofa With The Back Face To Main Door? Good Or Bad?
edenstrauss replied to emobebe's topic in Geomancy/Fengshui
I agree with Mae29. There are neighbours from my block whose sofa is placed directly infront of the door. It's so near that I could grab a stick & hit the person sitting on the sofa. -
There are many geomencers in the industry providing such services. It really depends on yourself who you want to go for. Names take shape on a person, on a long run. It shouldn't have an immediate effect. Based on my opinion & perspectives, it really depends on the motivation or reason behind name change. Each one who requests for a name change has his/ her reason/s. Personal attitude in life is very important. So if a change of name is requested for the wrong reason/s, then the person may not benefit from such changes becox it's deemed as "superficial". U'll also have to be aware that if you are considering a change of name, u could opt for one that's pronounced differently from your original chinese name or one that has same / similar pronounciation as what's originally given by your parents to youself.

I like to think that it's the strong winds that carried your windmills away. Like in our case, we spotted several damaged windmills along the expressway...

Never heard of him until you posted this exclusive thread for him. What he had recommended is not uncommon. But different geomencers have different recommendations & practices. You need to find out from him why he asked you to shift to another common room. It could be becox the MBR is not suited for you. Nothing to be alarmed about.

Urgent! Feedback Needed For Fengshui Master
edenstrauss replied to Jasonseah73's topic in Geomancy/Fengshui
But why do geomencers use bazi as a basis for working out fengshui audits? I've checked with an American friend and he said that his Geomencer in USA also requested for his bazi & his wife's when auditing their apartment. -
The latest news that I heard about Pixiu is that some pixius placed in homes had been chanted or in chinese, they say "kai-guang" already. And that's a danger zone for visitors who go into their homes. If they look at the pixius in the eye, go near or touch them, their wealth luck gets absorbed by those pixius & transferred to owners. Wah if this is true, then it'll be so scary! Sounds more like witchcraft already!!!!

Has anybody tried buying curtains from Spotlight? I was wondering how good their quality is nowadays...

Hi binng22, Thanks for reiterating your catch phrase on fengshui; seen in several threads... U r definitely right that fengshui is not about stones & rocks. It's an ancient art used for harmonising an environment so that we find it comfortable to live in. The very wealthy & influential are eager to further enhance their financial resources & status in society but perhaps, for those who are doing very poorly, inaccordance to your quote, are those who are desperate enough to resort to Fengshui cures. This is where the danger steps in... I wondered if they are level-headed enough in rationalising whether they are doing the right thing or not. Because Fengshui has its limitation in curing or treating problems, especially if those issues a person faces is self-inflicted or not handled the right way in life when confronted with certain situations.

Sofa With The Back Face To Main Door? Good Or Bad?
edenstrauss replied to emobebe's topic in Geomancy/Fengshui
How far is the back of your sofa away from the door? Is the back of your neighbr's sofa facing the door directly? I.e. back to back. Or is it diagonally across each other? Like in my case, my sofa's back is definitely diagonally across the door. But the distance is very far off. Do you happen to have a layout of your floor plan? -

Hi Roblon, Geomencers should be able to calculate bazi becox the fengshui audit for house & offices are definitely based on both the bazi (of owners, occupants) and the environment. If the geomencer falters on bazi interpretation, then, it'll be a disaster when it comes to other aspects of geomency e.g. fengshui audits, selection of dates. That's when bazi is used as a basis for geomency services. But if you are keen in getting your bazi calculated using purple star astrology, please PM me becox I would be able to recommend a locally-based Taiwanese Geomencer whose well-versed in this method.

Hi forgotten, We tie up 2 panels of curtain into 1, so that it's a heavier bundle. It's nice to be staying in a windy place U save alot of $$ when u get free aircon in ur living room! My windows are the sliding type so we cannot totally let in the winds becox there will be some blockage from sliding windows. I presume yours is swing type of windows? This type of windows would allow ALL the wind to enter your home.

Hi clara, Of late, I did my own fair share of research on WC becox I'm in the midst of changing my existing WC (potex) from HDB. I believe that both TOTO and Duravit are premium WCs becox they are supposedly imported brands. U might want to check with Geberit South East Asia head-quartered here in Singapore - to confirm with them if these 2 brands of Geberit mechanism are officially supplied by Geberit S.E.A. They ought to be. For Duravit, u could approach Econflo at their beach road showroom. This is a reputable supplier for Duravit & check out their pricing too becox they do projects & might be able to offer u at a reasonable pricing if u r interested. As for TOTO, their WC should be made in China. I noticed that many commercial buildings, including government buildings, use TOTO sanitary ware. Maybe it's more lasting?? If I didn't recall wrongly, Duravit is imported from Europe, not China. But u need to confirm this with reputable suppliers who know their stuff well. There are also other ABC brands, who use Geberit mechanism but with WC made in China. As lowly priced as $200+... Duravit can easily cost you more than $2k depending on the designs. The warranty for flushing mechanism should be a standard 1 year. Not sure if Toto & Duravit provides u extended warranty. U need to check with their agents on the cost for replacing their flushing mechanisms. I was quoted $100-150 for Geberit flushing mechanism, excluding plumbing services. Some showrooms quoted $80... I've been really worried myself about the chances of faulty flushing with Geberit after jux 2-3 years. Then I would end up spending $$ replacing mechanisms.

Where To Buy Sericite (brand) Toilet Bowl?
edenstrauss replied to edenstrauss's topic in RENOVATION WORKS
Finally found this brand of toilet bowl being sold at Universal Union at Geylang. But the PUB sticker indicated 3 ticks. Not sure how strong the flushing would be with limited water in the tank... -
Hi EmptyDivided, thanks for your comments Well, we have tenants who will be using the WC. We can tell them that they are not supposed to squat on WC but nobody knows what those folks would do when they enter the toilet & close the doors. And we certainly cannot spy on them! A friend of mine suggested that we casually tell them a joke while showing them into the toilet during the orientation, that somebody squat ontop & ended up getting sewed up in the hospital when the WC cracked. And how the ambulance came & half the block being alerted. hahahaha... to add on, wear a sarong for months. that was funny though... hehehehe

If u r considering roller blinds, u might want to try Tachikawa Blinds or its sister brand, Tana. Both are smooth with its rolling mechanism but the shop that I went to told me that there's a limitation of fabrics if these 2 brands are used.

Curtains are likely to outlive roller blinds. Reason: Curtains could be washed or dry-cleaned. But for roller blinds, once soiled or stained, those damages are likely to be permanent. And depending on factors such as quality, maintenance (how u use your blinds), environment e.g. hot afternoon sun; the life span of roller blinds would vary. The coverage for windows could be played around with using curtains whereas roller blinds meant that u either have it totally rolled down or partial exposure. And if u decide to leave your roller blinds down with windows opened, and your place is very windy, then the rods weighing down the blinds would bang against your windows/ grilles. For that, U could minimise the noise by attaching rubber to the rods. DIY. But u wouldn't be able to prevent the blinds from shaking when blown on by wind or fan.

Sofa With The Back Face To Main Door? Good Or Bad?
edenstrauss replied to emobebe's topic in Geomancy/Fengshui
I do agree that it's no good to have the sofa face the main door directly. However, if your sofa is placed diagonally across the main door, then still not too bad. Like in my case, the back of my sofa is placed diagonally across the main door. But the distance is very far off. more than 5-6 feet apart. So long as u feel comfortable with it, then just stick to that layout. If u are still bothered by it, then u might want to check with your fengshui master. Did u check with your neighbours who are staying above & below your unit? U can only use their arrangement as a reference. -
The purple star astrology is well-known for its great accuracy if the master is well-versed in its art of interpretation. But the level of interpretation varies for each master. They can come from the same "school" but at the end of the day, it depends on their depth of knowledge in this subject. The combination of the "stars" in ziwei can mean different things to different masters. Not easy to interpret becox I was told that the stars should be integrated & not read separately. As such, it's a very interesting subject for those who r keen in learning more about bazi.
