I used to stay on 25th floor and love the panaromic birds eye view. However, when I came to view my current flat on lower floor, what I saw was fascinating close to nature view of the trees, river and garden from the window. I am revamping my flat as we really like the place which is unblocked!

Nowadays most people are staying in high rise building either with or without void deck. Therefore, feng shui applied in olden days may not fit into modern society and we need to apply the old techniques in modern ways.

This weekend I will be busy choosing washer and fridge. With so many brands and models, consumers are really spoilt for choice! I always like the fridge with 2-doors side by side type which has lots of compartments and shelves. There is also sufficient space wide enough to accommodate this type of fridge. Now, I am considering which brand I should buy?

You are correct! It doesn't mean that you can find a house with 'wang san' and 'wang shui' just because you know feng shui. It has to do with the luck cycle you are currently going through.

For example, If your career involved water (sailor, marine related business, etc, ), we want the North sector to support these fields. If there is any missing corner, or bad Qi, then your career won't be smooth sailing.

Day 1 - Demolition aftermath - continued Service Balcony - all floor and walls tiles are gone! Master toilet - all hacking is complete, and the WC bowl removed Bedroom - only small portion of parquets were removed. I believe they will complete by Day 2

DEMOLITION AFTERMATH - DAY 1 The 'Hacker' at Work in Living room. Photo taken around 2:00pm. Noticed the hoarding on the left of picture? It will be the opening for the new lift ready by Aug 2011. Living Room - looks like war zone. I took this photo when the workers had left for the day. Kitchen - 80% hacked Kitchen & Store - the wall should be down today

We also need to check if our house supports the career you are in. Also equally important is to analyse our Bazi profiling if we are in suitable field.

It seems like I am 'hijacking' most of the posts here. Why not you PM me and I can send you the bunch of materials for your reading pleasure. Please bear with me if my replies come late, as I have been busy like bees with my reno work.

I called OpenNet the other day and I almost flared up when she told me that I cannot remove the terminal box as it belongs to the property of OpenNet, neither can I get them to dismantle and relocate the terminal box within the reno period. The earliest date given was Jan 24, 2011!! In the end, I told them I have only 2 choices: get their man to dismantle within my reno period, or grant me the right to remove by my own! That lady checked with her Technical Officer and later told me that I can proceed to dismantle the terminal box 'if it stands in the way of our renovation', and she will send me the procedure on requirements for subsequent re-installation of the terminal box. Till now, I have not received her email. Anyone has the procedure for my electrician on how to leave the concealed conduit for future splicing? I don't want to take things for granted and assumed the electrician knows what to do. I prefer that I convey exactly what is expected to avoid issues later on when OpenNet comes to reinstall the terminal box.

In Feng Shui, it is all about balance and harmony. Too much of any 5 elements is no good.

hi, CoffeeMan Thank you very much for your well wishes! I am bringing the camera with me from today onwards and will go down to snap the progress photographs.

I did inform them our reno starts today a week ago. These days, the couple with their 1 and 3 years old sons are staying elsewhere. Incidentally, their relative passed away earlier this week and this family went back to Malaysia. On top of that, our block is carrying out lift upgrading at the same time. The new lift opening is right in front of our units. Hence, with all disruption and noises, they moved out temporary.

I am so excited today as the major hacking and demolition will start any moment now. Initially, HDB granted the permit for all reno items for today, tomorrow and Monday, while pending approval for bringing down those walls at store, kitchen and living room. I called HDB officer on Tues and told him that we have babies staying next door and would like to minimise disruption. He can empathize the situation and told me that he will inform HQ to expedite. Yesterday, I received a call from HDB officer that we got approval for these demolition and erection of walls concurrently. In Feng Shui, everything is about timing. It was coincidence that the permit was applied on an auspicious day!

That 3D drawing is not from Donny. It was originated from the shop where we choosen the tiles. So the drawing is to show me how the actual colour theme for that toilet. ID said if I don't like the color of wall & floor tiles, there is still time allowance to change them. Once I accepted the color scheme, then ID will proceed with his 3D drawings. So, the door reflected in the picture can be ignored. I'm choosing aluminium sliding door with mirror for master toilet, and another wooden door outside. This means I have 2 sliding doors for master toilet.

The new converted room located at 'Qian Gua' will be for my elder son. With the relocated living room, I have door opening at favorable spot on micro level analysis. That is why the FSM agreed to our makeover plan.

Picture from White Horse, the shop which ID brings to choose tiles. All tiles are chosen by him, he was browsing and matching over and over again, and once he is satisfied, then only he will ask me to come near him and check with me if I like it or not. Save me the headache! This is the color scheme of floor and wall tiles for the common toilet. While & black wall tiles, dark greyish floor tiles. For the master toilet, but the ID will add 2 rows of mosiac tiles along the darker tone wall tiles. He can't find the right color match, so he said he will choose from elsewhere to match the dark brown panel. Another credit to Donny - really responsible and he does not simply choose what is available in the shop I give Donny another credit: he re-selected the floor tiles of master toilet as he is afraid it may be slippery for me. Wonder if other IDs would have shown such concern or not?

For the 'Water Theory', Water has vital and significant role to play in Feng Shui implementation, as it is one of the 5 Elements in the study of Chinese Metaphysics. Qi tends to collect and gather where Water is found, and Water in turn accumulates, collects, and gathers Qi. In that same vein, Water can also be used to retain or hold in good Qi (Sheng Qi) or neutralise bad Qi (Sha Qi). In simple terms, water in Feng Shui is to activate, circulate, and move the Qi around your property. But bear in mind that Water does not actually emit Qi.

To add on, in flying stars theory, the house natal chart is the fixed chart of your property for a period of 20 years. It is the potential that is inherent within the property, based on period of construction. In addition, we also consider the Annual Stars that fly in to the individual areas and sectors which will act as catalysts for the sectors in that property, thereby allowing you to know which sectors can be enhanced and improved, and which areas should be left undisturbed or unused. Let's say you find out that your secondary bedroom is within a sector that is good for studies and for work next year, and helps increase productivity, you have the option of using that room as your study or workspace for the year.

Beside 8-mansion, most commonly practised by FSM is the Flying Stars technique. I need to stress that the aim of Feng Shui is to tap into the Qi (cosmic energies) of the living environment to enhance the quality of life. Qi simply refers to the body of energy that exists in the natural world. Qi is not man-made, or reproduced through artificial means. It is the naturally-occurring energy that exists in the world. Simply put, Feng Shui is about harnessing and tapping into that Qi in order to improve one’s quality of life and to allow for one’s deepest potential to flourish. When we conduct FS audit, we are giving the owner an insight into the potential of his/herproperty, but do bear in mind that it might affect the different occupants of the house in different ways. With the information, we will capitalise on any positive potential it confers, as well as manage and reduce the effect of any possible negative implications that might exist in the house, based on the natal chart (birth chart of the house).

We need to bear in mind that this does not mean all houses will have 4 inauspicious sectors and become HALF bad house! There is always remedy and cure in the form of enhancements. Good sectors are utilised for areas where we spend most of our time, like Bedrooms.

It will only activated if you start cooking and washing...as you mentioned, human being is the Qi carrier too.

When we evaluate external forms, things like sharp electrical pylons, 'Bo-tak' Unhealthy mountain, dirty murky water are example of bad Qi which we do not like to receive, either at front door, side door, or whichever openings or view from the windows. It will be even detrimental if confronted with bad flying stars residing at that sector. Dark, long corridors are also not conducive, and we do not want beams running across the main door. Ofcourse, some of you already aware that we cannot place stove & water in confronting direction, etc etc.

Hi, CoffeeMan Many thanks for your concern. I have anticipated the air circulation issue and the new living room will be dark. I am hacking down the wall between dining and kitchen. As the stove may be seen from the dining area, there will 2 panels of wooden sliding windows and will open it when not cooking. I am also relocating the fridge to the corner of the kitchen for unobstructed view from Living to Kitchen. When the 3D drawings are ready, I will post them here. I forgotten to tell my ID the colour scheme given by FSM.

To newbie83 Thank you for your inquiry on my ID. Your inbox is full, hence I can't send you my reply.
