What I can say is this: if do wrongly, then yield nothing! That's why there are people who seek feng shui audit but still end up in status quo - nothing gain / nothing improved! Of course, we have also heard of people who met misfortune & accidents once they audit the house!!! A case of wrong house chart & activation done wrongly! But in most cases, especially DIY cases, do wrongly and get no results. Then, in such situation, fsm will not use flying stars house chart when facing is confusing. Most probably they will ask you to use the annual flying star chart instead, or 8 house mansion theory.

There is also free shuttle bus from IBP to & fro IMM during lunch hour. Shuttle bus from JE MRT to IBP operates daily in the morning, lunch hour and in the evening...at 40 cents per trip. Not sure of the schedule as I walk to work daily. Only once in a while when I need to do banking / errand in JE then I take the shuttle bus. Otherwise, no point of paying 80 cents to & fro IBP & JE for lunch, and no aircon! That's why the IMM free shuttle bus is always very crowded!

A reporter from The Sunday Times incharge of the weekly column "My Space" saw my blog asked if I am interested to have my house being featured. I guess it will be featured in March 2011....stay tuned!

I like the Mr Bean there...and the shop selling organic stuffs.

Looks like I am also qualified to report here...kekeke... I stayed in Pandan Gardens, work in International Business Park. Most of the lunch hour is spent at Jurong East or IMM.

If you visit Lilian Too's & Joey Yap's article (Q&A section), you will find both masters, although graduate from same sifu YCH, have different opinions & methods when comes to determine the facing & period of house. Then, it usually ended up with fsm asking you questions to figure out past events in the house...acid tests can determine such controversies. This is how I conclude the chart for my own home and accept the current audit report by this master.

Not necessary all will ended up with health problems. Check the flying stars chart of the house for the affected sector. If there is star 2 or star 5, and visiting annual bad stars, poison arrows like electrical pylon, sharp roof, pointed poles, etc, then that area will be negatively affected. Not so much on trees facing windows...unless that huge tall tree is 'botak'. For HDB/condo, any good or bad effects will be 'shared' by the whole building of home owners.

Hi, yangi Thank you for visiting my blog and your comments on our renovation. I am glad that you find my house beautiful after the makeover. My ID is Donny See and I will PM you the contact details.

Hi, BB Another controversy is the period of property. Some masters will take the year of built or the date when first occupants who occupied the place. For HDB/condo, it is the year of completion or first household who moved in. Like my house, it is a period 6 chart, but current fsm plotted the period 8 chart after considering we have renovated the place & have physically moved out the house for more than 8 weeks! Of course, there is no harm having 2 different sets of house charts & we cure the bad sectors of both charts.

I just learnt that the Taiwanese Fsm placed the lions in such formation so that both cannot run away! They will be forever there watching over & protecting the main entrance.

Hi, KristernM Thank you for dropping by & providing your comment which is well appreciated. I am already brand as 'difficult' customer, just dun want to be unreasonable.

Hi, bepgof I can check & confirm with my Sifu when I see him next Monday. 1. On taking measurements, based on what I have acquired the knowledge, we only take measurement once Only at the main door & once at the centre of the house to plot the flying star chart. The same apply to the Hexagram 64 Gua readings. 2. On how to determine the facing direction of unit, this subject is controversial issue & I have sometimes confused myself too. I learnt feng shui from 2 different masters, seek consultations from few different masters & they have different opinion when comes to deciding on unit or building facing. You can visit my reno t-blog where I am caught in a dilemma on house facing for my very own home ( think it is mentioned in page 15). As written in my blog, I was first exposed to fs & learnt directly from Joey Yap. He taught us to take the facing which is more Yang, more windows opening, or the facade where apartment is built to face, from the lift lobby of condo, etc. Then, there are masters who takes house Main door as Qi mouth, and some even consider different storey with different method of plotting the house chart. Confusing indeed!

The electrician came last Monday to install the Earth wire to the gas pipe. This is also another reason why the last schedule for PE inspection was called off at the very last minute. Now, I have to call ID to get the painter back to touch up the trunking.... I am glad that I did the right thing by getting the whole house electrical installation to be certified by PE.

Hi, BunBun Thank you for visiting my blog & your compliment! We must stay young & age gracefully!

I bought the Lucia brand WC from Excel Asia. An Italian brand but probably made in China! Don't buy those WC with cover plate which closes down slowly & automatically type. Your tenant may not have the patience to wait for the cover plate to close down slowly. They might push the cover violently & spoilt the closing mechanism.

For me, after spending a bomb on renovation, I prefer to go for quality fabric & good workmanship. After visited a few recommendations here, I eventually selected the curtain maker 'Unique Zone', with showroom located at Balestier Plaza, after satisfying myself with the fabric selection, especially the day curtains for MBR. I understand some ID house also recommended them to house owners. In a small shop at Balestier Plaza, they carried good range of quality curtain materials & wallpapers. You can visit my reno blog for the pictures of curtains in my house. If I have time, I will re-post the pictures here.

that is related to body parts. For people, the person in the family affected by poison arrows in south sector will be the middle age woman or middle daughter.

Upto now, my ID has not come to close out the project, and haven't collect from me the balance of payment which includes the VO items. Anyway, I am holding back the final payment till I have time to inspect inch by inch again! I hope this is home owner's practice! What do you think? Am I unreasonable?

...continued from above post: Lift B is now upgrading in progress, and will be ready in August 2011. With the new Extreme Makeover plan & the new lift opening, I concurred & can connect with what this FSM advised & took his audit report seriously....and therefore come up with this Extreme MakeOver @ Pandan Gardens!!

Taking the facing direction of HDB flats is always a controversial issue. Different Masters have different opinions; some based on the facade which has more Yang energy, whilst some based on which side the building was built to face, while some others will take facing from the lift lobby as Qi mouth. Then, there are some masters who will take house door entrance as facing direction to plot the house natal chart. My block is a point block, and you know most HDB flats, especially newer blocks, have almost identical facing / facade. All the while, as I studied under Master JY, I used the side of building facing the carpark & temple which has more Yang energy as house facing. This is also in consideration that the sitting of our unit is in the kitchen, more Yin, compared to the original Living room which faces the carpark & temple which is more Yang. Now, following the new opening of Lift B, and the fact that we are changing completely the Living room, and also the important fact which the Master considered, is that the floor plan of our unit is shaped like 'arm chair' formation when you see from the main entrance. This is supported by the true fact that there is mountain in NE direction, the back of our unit, and the reservoir in front of our Main door direction. the FSM asked to hang a huge Luo Pan, 2 feet x 2 feet, ordered since September 2010, and should arrive any moment now, to hang in the central of our house, after he made some 'adjustments'. ' Here are some slides abstracted from my final FS class assignment which tells more about the old facing based on living room faces the Yang energy....as well as the surroundings which conform to what the current FSM advised me to revamp our house.

Just to keep this thread alive, here are some photographs of our kitchen cabinets & pole systems wardrobe with polygon interior boards: Kitchen cabinet - grey colour interior polygon with blum runners... Pole Systems Wardrobe interior - white polygon board...

Extreme Makeover Series - Before & After photographs The revamped LivingRoom - a contrast of old setting in terms of colour scheme due to change of house facing direction. Before the extreme makeover, our house is facing North and Sitting South, hence I adopt Fire tone for the wall...and now, our house is Sitting North (water), per advice of FSM. That's why I called my blog Extreme Makeover! This is taken into the consideration that the new lift is opening right in front of our Main Door, among other criteria (our floor plan as well)! The area where wall is painted RED previously, is now a Bedroom for my elder son. The divider is now replaced by concrete wall with glass block.....update in next post! Stay tuned!
