In JY's book, he said don't fret over open shelves. Ofcourse, I don't like open shelves which is confronting us (ie. open door and see open shelves 'greeting' you). As for the cove lights in the bedrooms, it is acceptable as the space coverage is wide and high. I would be concerned if it is under the beam or heavy objects like some people like to install cabinets above the bed.

CoffeeMan Really thank you for your feedback and comments. There is still space in front of fridge to pull out the vege and fruit drawers. I met my ID during lunchtime today and heard him telling the tiler to erect 1000mmW for the fridge base (Width of fridge is 894mm) and clearance for doors, especially the right door of the fridge. Left door is not an issue as it is not flushed with the cabinet. ID was calling me today to discuss the floor tiles which I specifically gave the instruction that I MUST have the first UNBROKEN piece in the CENTER of Main Entrance, and a low curb! So, I better go home (which is 15-20 minutes walking distance) and speak to the tiler personally to avoid mis-communication!

...or we can engage him as Project Manager or Project Consultant!

3 and 4 are both Woods element. No problem.

Yes, you are right. If you are facing the stove and the knobs are in front of you, then your back is taken as direction of knobs.

My personal experience is that whenever Star 2 flies into my son's bedroom, he will sure to fall sick! In the month when Star 2 flies into my Master bedroom, I also 'tou kong kong' giddy most of the time! I remember I accidentally disturbed the 'Tai Sui' sector (which no reno allowed for that year when Grand Duke resided in that sector), you know what happened? My aircon starts to breakdown, my washing machine pipes leaked and I slipped and fell in the bathroom on the following days! Then, when star 3 arrives at certain sector in that month if I didn't cure it, there will friction with my sons.

I would suggest you use the longer table to superimpose the 9-grids, i.e the main table you used most of the time. Which side of the table has better facing?

CoffeeMan, Wow...you still got time to spend to scout for good lobang for FS stuffs?! Not bad leh...

Hi, Ivy1981 We are in the same boat....our personal experience counts! Btw, Ivy, you seem to have good fs knowledge!

You are right! I have no knowledge in Numerology, but if you look at the bright side, you have number 9 - happy moments and events, as well as future prosperity star!

Tall objects are considered YIN and therefore, the full height solid wardrobe can be used as backing for my bed to lean against. The only flaw in this arrangement is that my feet will be pointing to the window and I must draw the curtains (must be thick night curtains) when I sleep. Our initial layout plan given by FSM was to build the wardrobe near the left wall at entrance of master bedroom, same as my old layout. But this will block half of the view and light into the living room outside. Further, FSM master suggested my bed to be placed at corner tapping into good Yin star (8), but I changed to current location / direction to tap into my Nobleman star (BaZi) & 'Tian Yi - heavenly doctor' (8 mansion), as I personally find these 2 aspects more important than Flying Star - Star 8.

I like your floor laminates. For my reno, I have a platform bed which uses laminate. As there will be folds to wrap the corners of platform (as seen in the 3D drawing in my blog), I was told that only certain soft laminate can achieve the effect.

I like your WIW at mbr. A pity that I can't do the same due to space constraint .

My fuzzy youngest son wants his room to be all white and black, against the color theme suggested by my FSM. Headache for me and challenge for ID! He has too much metal in his birth chart which makes him inflexible and unresponsive to new ideas. My youngest is Geng Metal, and metal elements are dominating his BaZi chart. A person with his attribute needs to undergo adversities and challenges in order to be solid and useful as he was born into a structure that is in conflict with the season. No choice for now, but to go according to his Wish!

I went shopping at Novena Square yesterday afternoon. Supposed to meet my ID and the electrician at Balestier at 2:30pm to view the 3D drawings and finalized the electrical quotation, but it was raining heavily and there was a very long Q at the taxi stand. Text my ID that I would be late. Surprisingly, received his call that he is coming to fetch me:) Have bought most of the kitchen and toilet accessories at Asia Excel along Balestier Road. Got good discount price for the EFH 4650 hob at $440, cheaper than those at Best Denki and Courts which is selling at $469. Total damage is $2,840. Still pending the rain shower with light effect for common bathroom, and the basin(cabinet) for master toilet.

It will work if activated correctly.

As bepgof had mentioned, 8 mansions do not have time dimension. For flying stars, beside the base natal house chart, there are annual influence, monthly flying stars and even daily flying stars. Result is as fast as within hours if activated correctly.

No, the knob on the right side happened to be pointing to the West for my stove location! As you mentioned in my new post 'Stove & Gua number", knob facing is based on your back direction! If I stand facing South, my right hand side is West. So, this is where my knob is located for West people like me. Then, if the knobs are on the left, it will be for EAST group people. In the same standing direction facing South, those knobs at the centre are for for East Group people too, as it will be North direction for the knobs.

...and finally but not the least, my Master Bedroom! Master Bedroom - Sliding door wardrobe. Centre piece on the door is frosted glass (can see through) Master Bedroom - the bed behind the wardrobe. There is a sliding laminate door at the entrance of toilet to shield the water dripping noise. (I can't sleep with noise and lights, so extra wooden door in addition to the glass sliding door inside the toilet, which picture is showing bi-fold door). I will ask ID to fabricate the headboard, but not the bedframe as seen, which I will buy Queen size only.

Bedroom 2 - for the youngest son. Bedroom 3 - for the second son. The green feature wall is given 'free' by ID, to box up the recess area. For the same bedroom 3 showing the wardrobe hiding behind the door. Bedroom 4 - the living room converted, for the elder son. For the same Bedroom 4, with the TV feature wall. We may remove the open book shelves if the frosted glass panel is re-designed. The platform for the King size mattress will have cove lights at the step below. Noticed the side board on the left of platform bed? Elder son is used to sleep leaning against wall! No wall for him to lean, so construct a side board for his bed.

Finally have time to meet up with ID this afternoon to view the 3D drawings. There will changes made to his ideas, but overall I am very satisfied with the colour scheme and layout design. The Living Room with the TV console. The glass block may provide some lights through, but may not provide privacy for the Bedroom. ID has come out with alternative ideas to replace a 2 feet wide frosted glass with shelvings. Let's see what my children comment when they see this drawing for now. The glossy white kitchen cabinet - stove & sink area. May add 2 pieces of frosted glass door above the stove. As I seldom cook at home, will not be installing the cooker hood. Moreover, even if I cook at home, it will be simple stry fry or steam cooking. Children are very health conscious, so don't like Deep Fry stuff! Therefore, I do not need to buy the hood which ended up as 'white elephant', just like my old kitchen hood which was 'idling' in the kitchen and never use at all! In place, ID will install a pelmet below the 2 glass door to prevent fume from sipping through the door gaps while cooking. Kitchen viewed from another angle showing the window opening to let light in to the dining / living room. Will be changing the door of bottom cabinet to drawers with Blum runners. Kitchen - another view seen with the store room (which wall was knocked down and install 2 sliding doors - frosted / opaque to hide the junks inside the shelves). You will also notice the Foyer into the kitchen, which ID selected different colour of floor tiles.

I guess it is a typo error. It should be JY who is from the Mastery Academy, or Yap Global Consultancy.

He has several books written on Property such Feng shui for Home Buyers - Interior, and another book for Interior. For the latter, you will notice that he demarcate all important rooms based on 8 mansion theory.

The difference between the 2 masters is that: JY practised classical feng shui - no placement of items as he does not want our house to end up like "Chinese restaurants!". As for Lilian Too, she is more towards 'Taoist'? She emphasised alot on hanging trinkets, ornaments, etc. I don't fancy these stuff although I have initially bought some symbolic items from her outlet at Vivo City.

Hi, CoffeeMan You are right! I belong to West Group people. Hence, the knob must be on right side (west). This is the model which I will be buying soon. (EFH 4650, gas hob).
