Our living environment has an effect on all home owners. Where we live, where our house is sited, the landscape in our vicinity and the internal space within our home are channels where energy or life force known as “Qi” flow. This energy gives life to all living things and is dispersed by the wind and gathers at the boundary of water. All of us, I am sure, wish for a life of abundance, health and wealth, relationships and what have you. There are those who are born with a silver spoon and blessed with good fortune throughout their lives. Luck seems to go with them wherever they go, well at least most of the times. Others are not so lucky and have to put up with challenges after challenges in their embattled lives and problems keep cropping up from time to time. To them, life is nothing but suffering. To quote the revered and his holiness, the Dalai Lama, “Life is suffering. Our purpose in life is to seek happiness”. What if there is a choice that we can make to turn things around? What if the unpleasant events and circumstances that we faced in the drudgery of living can be mitigated, lessened or dissolved with efforts on our part? Is hardship and adversity seems insurmountable? One of my elder sister passed away when she was 47. My ex-hubby contracted cancer and passed away 5 years later due to bad house feng shui, and met with bad luck cycle in his BaZi. That's why I am fascinated with Feng Shui and BaZi. I am now a single parent, and my objective in acquiring FS and BaZi knowledge is to help improve the destiny of the children, friends, relatives and colleagues.

Showing here again is the tiles colour scheme for the common toilet. Ignore the accessories, as the picture is sent from White Horse, the place we bought the tiles.

You are right -- the "click' factor is important. Someone may recommend you his/her ID, but that does not mean you will have the same level of service and expectations. I was initially going to award to a contractor based on price, but in the end, I can "click' with this ID and eventually part more $$$ to award my reno to this ID. Now, hope that he lives up to my expectations for my major revamp works!

So far, my ID is very good in follow up. If a person shows interests from the beginning, take his heart at work, diligent, skillful, and most important, friendly and patient, then this person should make a good ID/contractor for your reno work. You can visit my T-blog on how I ended up selecting my current ID.

Wow...didn't know Toilet WC bowl can give such problem! Luckily I decline the toilet bowl which comes with my reno package, asked the ID to remove them as I prefered to choose the design I want.

Someone was also asking me whether I am choosing copper or stainless steel for the water pipe. I do agree that stainless steel need NO painting and it blends well with the stainless steel tap mixers. My ID is going to get pissed off with me soon....have been asking him to make so many changes from electrical sockets (to cater for 2-pins friendly type, ofcourse got to pay extra $$$ for single & double sockets) and now, the piping!

In my home, my Wang Qi apparently ended up in the store room! I therefore decided to revamp my home, get it trully Feng Shui'd and remove the walls of store room, reduce the size and create a storage cabinet.

This is a story from my Master: he audited a home of a rich guy and this owner's toilet is beautifully renovated and he keeps all my master's books in that big toilet. So, part of his big toilet, which has Wang Qi, becomes his reading corner. You can imagine how he spent his good time in the toilet!

Cactus plant itself has sharp thorns, so tie something red for good. Just like Chinese New Year, Chinese still like RED. We also bring 2 oranges to visit friends & relatives, surely you won't bring along 2 durians during Chinese New Year, tio-bo?

I guess this post will help all home owners to prepare for OpenNet to install the Terminal Box, and the installation of cables from the patch panel to all rooms which most people forgotten to cater for.

Hope this full size image is now readable:

If there is EM wave emits from the lifts, we can mitigate the effect by placing some plants, like those Chinese called "Iron" plants. For those staying in condominiums whereby your main door is sandwiched between two lifts, you can place those "cactus" plant and tie the top of plant with red ribbon. I have the habit of putting plants by the side of our main entrance.

This morning, the electrician came to dismantle the old cables, trunkings, etc. The celing light was taken down and given to our Neighbour.

You are right...energy consumption is higher even with '4 ticks' model. I was at Court Bukit Timah with my sister last evening and it was 'love' at first sight we saw the White color LG side-by-side fridge (inverter compressor with 10 years warranty). As ID is considering pure glossy white for my kitchen cabinet, and coupled with the location for fridge is at the dark corner of the kitchen, I decided to go for White colour fridge and eventually, like the LG model, again, for asthetics reason! Original price is $1,599 but bought at discounted price of $1,399 with 2 free gifts.

Yes, no need to buy those trinkets and ornaments. I moved furnitures around, in addition to placing of metal objects to cure 2 Black Sickness Star and 5 Yellow Misfortune star. I used RED light or red object to cure star 3. Then depending on location of 7 star, I may place a small vase of still water. For auspicious Wang Qi, I will stay in that particular room for as long as I could to benefit from the auspicious energy. Ofcourse, I can place clock, TV, radio, fax, etc to activiate the good energy.

My FSM taught only Classical Feng Shui, no need for Art of Placement besides the metal, fan, red lamp, etc for enhancement & cures. Important factor to consider for your work desk includes the favourable facing direction based on your Ming Gua (life gua).

I can't give you a definite answer without analysis the complete picture. Even if your North sector is not missing, there may be other factors to consider whether you are in your profession or not. In other words, you can do better if you can adopt a profession where it is represented by the elements which are favourable to you, according to your birth natal chart in addition to Feng Shui of your house.

Finally received the email with the attachment for 'Concealment Guidelines': 1. Designate a Location: (i) Designate a particular location, such as a designated closet, where all the telecommunication facilities can be installed within. This will facilitate connections and ensure that the installation can be performed presentably & neatly. 2. Ensure “Conduit or Path” To The Designated Location So That Fibre Can Be Installed For Condominiums / HDBs / High Rise Residential Homes (ii) Ensure or cater for an empty 20mm uPVC conduit or PVC trunking compartment to the above location (e.g. the closet). The conduit should be installed in straight runs or be able to accommodate bending radius of the central line of the conduit not less than 100mm.(iii) A draw rope shall be provided in the empty conduit so that the fibre cable can be installed subsequently. For Landed Homes Ensure 1 empty 50mm diameter uPVC continuous lead-in and underground pipe to be provided from 1m beyond the roadside drain to the designated location. Ensure that there is a draw rope in the empty conduit so that the fibre cable can be installed subsequently. This will facilitate the installation of fibre into the home & near points of connection. 3. Ensure Accessories At The Designated Location Is Catered For (iv) Install twin 13A power point/socket at the designated location (e.g. Within the closet), so as to provide power to any equipment. (v) Install RJ45 patch panel. No. of ports should be greater than the no. of rooms of units. 4. Internal Wiring / Cabling (vi) Owners are encouraged to install Cat 6 cables for internal cabling from the patch panel to all rooms. This will ensure internal cabling connectivity. It’s important to note that Unshielded Twisted Pair (Cat 6) cables should not exceed 100m runs from the RJ45 patch panel to the RJ45 wall outlet. 5. Concealed Installation (vii) In cases of non-straight runs such as bends and obstacles encountered during cable pulling, the owner’s own contractors must be present to carry out the cutting of access panels. Access panels are recommended to be minimum 450mm x 450mm in size. They can either be removable or permanently sealed after access. (viii) OpenNet contractors do not carry out removal of downlights or any other form of lighting/accessories attached to the false ceiling. The owner’s contractors must be present to do the necessary, if applicable.

Hope the wall which your neighbour hacked is not the structural member affecting the foundation!

Hi, CoffeeMan Many thanks again for your kind concern. The new lift looks quite near, but actually it is opened at the space between the parapat wall between 2 units and quite a distance away. See enclosed floor plan of our block, abstracted from my feng shui final class assignment. Therefore, the EM wave will not affect our units as concurred by my FSM. Infact, I will be using this new lift when it is ready as the Water Theories which I applied - San He Water Theory, 3-Killings Yellow Spring and Xiao Wang Shui water theories are all Auspicious, in addition to Hexagram Reading for tapping the Water flow from new lift to the main door entrance. Side entrance may not be so auspicious although it has favourable water star. the hoarding....

....continued progress photos on Day 2 & 3 Store Room walls are demolised to give way for new sliding door storage cabinet Will be asking the ID to hack away the dangling wall and re-construct with new wall Some observations today: Spalling concrete which must be hacked & redo Spotted broken wall ceramic tiles which workers put aside Few pieces of Broken hollow-blocks

Workers were clearing the debris on Saturday, 27-Nov. Tiles & sands also arrived on Saturday. This is what I saw this morning when I went up to inspect during my lunchtime: General workers are still clearing bags of debris which they packed over the weekend. Can imagine the huge amount of waste generated during demolition & hacking! Sands everywhere Floor Tiles for the livingroom, Dining and Bedrooms Aircon pipe still lying across the floor of master toilet!

Kacking & Demolition Aftermath - Day 2 Opening for door entrance to new Bedroom Partial clearing of debris for material storage Kitchen with the new opening for sliding window (dining area) Common Toilet & Bathroom Materials arrived on Day 2

I agree! Ivy, are you also his student?

North sector belongs to Kan Gua, water star 1. If your career involves water or water related industries or activities, then North sector must not be missing. Here, I am referring to feng shui of home in relation to career.
