The 5th milestone of Upper Serangoon Road starts near the junction of Bukit Arang Road with Upper Serangoon Road and extends until the 6th milestone near Flower Road. The practice of referring to places by their nearest milestones came from the colonial approach of indicating distance in miles from the town by placing physical markers, i.e. milestones. Though Hougang was predominantly a Teochew enclave, the 5th milestone was home to other communities including the Hokkiens (along Lorong Lew Lian) and the Hainanese (along Lorong Ah Soo). From Hillside Road to Simon Road, there were also a thriving Eurasian community and a few Malay villages. Prior to the 1980s, this stretch was already bustling with amenities such as schools and places of worship that catered to the different ethnic enclaves as well as shops and a thriving market. For many residents, social life centred around the 5½ milestone near Lim Tua Tow Road. In the early 1950s, the authorities built Lim Tua Tow market which operated until the 1990s. When the market opened, there were not enough hawker stalls to house every applicant, and it was common to see itinerant hawkers peddling fares and lining the sidewalks around the market. Teck Chye Terrace was another social node along the 5th milestone and housed shops and eateries at its lower levels. Located adjacent to the former market, this row of shophouses is one of the last remaining traces of the area prior to redevelopment. Built in 1928 by businessman Lim Teck Chye, these shophouses were designed with Art Deco features which include geometric decorative elements above the second-floor windows. Today, Teck Chye Terrace is still reputed for its food offerings. +++

$2.40 for two pieces of plain prata. Pratas are okay. But the fish gravy is very salty.

$4.50 - only if you don’t mind the environment

This is not Feng Shui: Any issue with selecting dark wall tiles for a toilet? How’s this? Source & Credit:

Feng Shui suffers a bad reputation, today. Many Feng Shui Masters are a Feng Shui Store. Their core business is not authentic Feng Shui. But rather making big bucks by selling lots of useless commercial products in the name of Feng Shui. Please give me a good reason not to buy such products. Here's one: Okay, the above was written prior to the knowledge of COV-19. Here’s to another reason, why. Many Feng Shui Masters and their shops are FAKES! On Saturday, 14 March 2020, a WhatsApp from a past client P.S. Frankly, I was just being extremely polite. Actually if one got the hint, as the British always say just throw the "bloody" thing away!

Master, can I ask the fruit which we prepared and placed at Center of living room after we first time Open Door, can we keep the fruit after one day? Or must wait 3 days ? Minimum placement is at least one hour after doing the full 1st time open door procedure. Thus if you completed the procedure at say 9am. Then must leave it there till at least 10 plus am. If non urgency, then leave for THREE days. But if want to start renovations ASAP, then do the above.

ITS PURE COMMON SENSE Why we had never recommend sprinkling salt especially all over the house? With the exception that if you want, may consider only the toilets. Found this notice at several lift lobbies of your next door development - HDB Plantation Grange Blks 133A & 133B… recently T.O.P. ++++++++++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ Notice to residents at HDB Plantation Grange during it’s T.O.P. In September 2023: Salts Sprinkled on Floorings We observed that some residents have sprinkled saits on the foors as part door opening ceremony. When salts are left unattended over time, it will melt and damage the floor tiles or vinyl floors. We would like to advise residents to quickly remove the salts from the floorings at the earliest opportunity. If you require any clarification, please visit Building Service Centre at BIk 133C or call us at + 65 xxxxxxx. Thank you. Source: Notice board at Blocks 333A and 333B HDB Plantation Grange

Hi Master, my new house has this 人心果树in front of my house. Is it good to keep? From the Feng Shui point of view. Thanks Yes, can consider keeping. Considered Lucky. However, not Feng Shui are the ants and in some instances fruit bats and also birds / bird droppings / falling to the ground … maintenance… Later if found too inconvenient or perhaps a nuisance, as this can outweigh the advantages.. then you may consider not having it. Many years ago my client bought a terrace house at Onan Road, Katong. Their Ciku tree was there, overgrown and lots of fallen fruits... They decided to remove it. As mentioned earlier, not like one can leave the tree alone. If fruits over-ripe and fallen, someone must go clean it up etc...
