In my opinion, no issue. However for bunk beds parallel to say the living room wall, be careful of EMF radiation (if any) especially for the upper bed.

1. This falls under Habit 12 - "Don't be a head-banger" 2. So long as your Overall interior Feng Shui is acceptable, should not be an issue. Another Case Study 3. [Below] Extract: from: Case Study 11: Interested in purchasing a unit at the highest floor of the block. 1. One of the main concerns of purchasing the highest floor is the concern of a leaking ceiling. 2. Some are also concerned with the potential heat if there is no proper insulation. 3. Recently I was doing a can or cannot buy evaluation at a highest floor unit at Parc Palais condo. 4. Both the potential buyer and myself saw what looks like water leak stains in several areas : kitchen and rooms / toilet(s). Here, the water tank is directly above this unit. My client decided not to purchase this unit. 5. Location: Just T.O.P. Buangkok Edgeview roof-TOP unit:- 5.1. The left most round water tank is around this unit’s living room. And the other water tank is above the bedroom(s):

Case Study 7A: Front Loading Washing Machine facing Stove & Oven? Under the Five Elements Concept, this is a clash of FIRE (stove / oven) with WATER (Front Loader) Fair enough, you say you provide good cross ventilation. But this layout isn't luxurious living / dining spaces. They are only just adequate or standard provisions of any normal 3 bedrooms. Not even close to DELUXE. Hey! Front Loading Washing Machine with glass bubble + water facing stove and oven. Case Study 7B: The word GRAND in the eyes of the FRENCH? This is a call-out on the above " Luxurious living/dining spaces." - Perhaps this is the reason why the developer CDL & MCL decided to call it Copen GRAND? In Hokkien the term is " HAO LIAN" = Blowing Trumpet or Hot Air. In army this is "Throwing smoke". LOL While Mike Wolfe of American Pickers reality television series often uses this term: "Throwing mud and hopes it sticks on the wall." LOL LOL I bet you did not know this! Often, I am always very curious to find out a certain word... General Knowledge: What does GRAND mean in French? 1. Sengkang GRAND Residences, Piermont GRAND & Whistler GRAND? All these three developments; CDL (a subsidiary of Hong Leong) has a hand in it. 2. While the English meaning of GRAND could also mean Luxurious or Luxury. 3. The French has a totally different meaning all together. 3.1. The adjective for GRAND in French is: Great, large, big, wide, high. 3.2. In the past, Renault has two versions of their Scenic. The larger 7-seater version was called GRAND Scenic. 3.2.1. This simply means that their GRAND model is larger, bigger, wider than the standard model. LOL Nothing to do with Grandeur.. LOL LOL 3.2.2. Citroen also calls their larger model GRAND C4 Picasso 7 Seater. 3.2.3. This is more of a French thing... 3.3. Thus if we use French, don't you think that the development's title can be misleading? 4. This is because, nowadays most floor plans are much smaller. And cannot be compared to a home built in the 1970's to 1980's. LOL 5. If one is a "French man" can perhaps go claim that the advert and the actual development's name is totally misleading.. 6. Luckily, other than our mother tongue... Singapore... is inclined towards British English... not French.. LOL P.S. Next time, if you do invite a French man to your new home... do relate this interesting fact to them... Also, I used to own a Renault Grand Scenic that is why I am pretty familiar with this word.. LOL Extracted from this previous article Case Study 7C: How come GRAND but both the SHOWERS are kinda small? Therefore, I would have hoped that the developers x 2 CDL & MCL should have been modest enough to call it e.g. Copen Residences right. What is more important is one's UNIT, first and foremost. External facilities are secondary + they are pretty standard as most other ECs. LOL

Case Study 5: The Three Clubhouses +Three Mixed Agendas! Siao! (Mad) So many clubhouses. Kids, I have trouble locating you! Next time please keep me posted where are you! Agenda 1: Hey! We love peace and quiet! And anything to do with KIDS activities is a no-no for us! Agenda 2: Three Clubhouses? WIll it be expensive to maintain? What is the monthly (quarterly = monthly x 3) maintenance costs? Agenda 3: Let's avoid low floors especially anywhere near to the public toilets at the clubhouse - if any!

In my opinion such questions are highly subjective given that homes today are perhaps one’s biggest purchases. Realistically, what one should fear most is the burning of offerings. Cannot imagine finding such incense and burning of offerings smell permeating into one’s lovely home. Ostensibly, perhaps higher floor’s preferred, here. Even if a Feng Shui Master say no issue, what is there to stop others from showing their concerns or simply ignore such a unit. Especially if it is time for selling such a unit. (Overall, the compass bearings vs this temple is not an issue unlike some previous examples found under this forum.) For example, you had already voiced this out today. What about future potential buyers. Fortunately the larger Hong Sian Keng Temple is quite a distance and definitely out of sight for 908 (Hopefully out of burning fumes also - Refer to the below article on Jin Fu Gong temple) Ultimately, this is your personal stake, so do your weightage during your purchase considerations.
