We are 460 metres away! To move you & your family! Sorry, we are 1st GEN above ground. Not six feet or more underground. Case Study 3: Have sensitive ears? 1. The layout of the various blocks allow for noise to flow towards the end units. 2. Thus every single unit will get some noise from MRT train movements. 3. However the greatest impact or whammy are Stacks #104, #106, #128, #130, #162, #164, #174, #176 where there open service yard acts like a funnel to bring in this noise. Our Sincere Apologies! This is the stretch where we have to BRAKE. Thus create more than the expected MUSIC. Sorry I mean NOISE!

Case Study 3A: Block 98A - Certainly great effort in placing this Precinct Pavilion (PP) where none of the units face into it. 1. However high floors preferred especially for Stacks #621 and #623 to avoid any noise during activities at the PP. Case Study 3B: Block 98 - High Floors especially 6th Storeys or above for Stacks #603, #605, #607 & #609 to avoid looking into the PP. Block 16 of neighbouring development, just too bad! Precinct Pavilion(s) [PPs] in HDB estates. Do you know that this is one of the first things I look at when doing a Can or Cannot buy review?

Case study 2: Stacks #601 & #631 our immediate neighbours are EXTRAORIDNARY! + are not humans. 1. Extraordinary = very unusual or rather very uncommon. They are certainly not our neighbours. But instead, a Common Bin Lobby (CBL)! 2. How bad can it get? 2.1. For a start, the front door is next to the CBL entrance. 2,2 Secondly, the unit's Frontage: Living Room windows, all Bedroom windows and even the Service yard is a stone's throw or rather a "SNIFF or a SMELL" away from this CBL.. 3. Please, don't look forward to the day of Havelock Hillside's Minimum Occupation Period (M.O.P.). That day will not be bright and sunny for residents of Stacks #601 and #631. No need Feng Shui to tell us about these stacks. 4. In my opinion and perhaps the opinion of MANY that It is a sure guarantee that such properties will get LOW BALLED and there goes your hard-earned money! 5. It is as good as one participating in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gone_with_the_Wind_(film) ! 6. I don't want ants marching into my home! Courtesy of the goodies found at the common bin chutes... "WE LOVE TO VISIT YOUR HOME" + PLUS HDB'S bureaucrats "TAII-CHI" also HIGHLIGHT THIS in the Sales Brochure Site Plan: "" HDB : "So what if place not built! Visit in your head, lah!" 7. The perfume (sorry I mean the smell) coming from the Common Bin Lobby (CBL) towards the frontage of my unit. Closest is my living room windows! 7.1. Does this mean that I have to permanently shut my windows? 8. Hopefully I am not at the mercy of my inconsiderate neighbours. And I pray that I don't have durian lovers who place durian shells at the CBL!

Case Study 1A: REACHING MINIMUM OCCUPATION PERIOD OR M.O.P. & BIN CENTRE DON'T LOW BALL ME (US)! PLEASE 1. Although we #593 and #591 do have an angled view of the BIN CENTRE, there is no excuse to make us lower our re-sale price! Case Study 1B: BIN CENTRE & STACKS #595 & #597 OK! WE SURRENDER! WE EXPECT TO BE LOW-BALLED! Case Study 1C: BIN CENTRE IS OFTEN ASSOCIATED WITH A DEVELOPMENT HAVING A CENTRALISED PNEUMATIC REFUSE DISPOSAL SYSTEM 2. What to expect or rather "the unexpected can happen" from an estate having such a system:

Case Study: Morning Cecil, would like to check with you for main door. What is a good dimensions. ID asking. Thanks [FSM = Feng Shui Master] FSM: 1. The options are either two doors or one door with a half leaf. The dimensions seem quite different. It would be helpful to know the proposal in order to make necessary adjustments. This approach makes more sense since it was suggested by the initiator. FSM: 2. Thank you for verifying, the system consists of a single door measuring between 1 meter to 1.15 meters. FSM: 3. The ideal width is 42 inches, with an acceptable range of 41 inches to a maximum of 43 inches. FSM: 4. The optimal height is 83 1/4 inches, with a margin of variance from 82 1/4 inches to 85 1/2 inches. FSM: 5. May be Utopian for your new house if the timber frame is THICK. FSM: 5.1. For instance, it would be preferable but not mandatory if the DOOR dimension is 41 inches, and the door along with both sides of the frame totals 43 inches. FSM: 6. Historically, it was feasible to have a 1st generation or 2nd generation HDB flat where the door and frame combined were all "RED". FSM: 7. If a greater height is desired, please indicate the proposed range. Thank you. FSM: 8. Alternatively, the height can be in increments of 17 inches or 43 cm. For example, 43 cm X 5 = 215 cm. Reference: Thanks Master. Very detail & informative. I'll let ID know 42 inches for width (including both sides of frame), 83 1/4 for height (including frames). We will forward you the 3D design as well once ID has finalised for you comments. Thanks & have a blessed weekend FSM: 9. Please note that the ideal width for the opening is 42 inches, but it can range from 41 to a maximum of 43 inches. The frame is considered optional, not a necessity. FSM: 10. In some cases, your doors may be large and require thicker frames. Unlike certain HDB units in the past, where metallic frames were common and much thinner. A = If possible MUST-HAVE B = Nice-to-have. Tell your ID, you dont' want to hear this song.. for the above: https://www.bing.com/videos/search?q=its+impossible&view=detail&mid=07E447110C46EEFA0B5007E447110C46EEFA0B50&FORM=VIRE

The Feng Shui Ruler Above: An actual Feng Shui Ruler: Wordings in BLACK is not auspicious; but wordings in RED is good The Feng Shui Ruler is used to measure the length, breadth and height of rooms, doors and furnitures as certain dimensions and proportions encourage good fortune. The Feng Shui Ruler shows which measurements are auspicious, and which ones should be avoided. The Feng Shui foot is 43 cms (approximately 17 inches) and almost identical to the standard imperial foot. The Feng Shui foot was derived from the side of a square, where the length of the diagonal of a square is the square root of two. Western mathematicians called this the "Magic Square" and this was considered by the Chinese as "mystical". The Feng Shui foot is again divided into eight, each to correspond with one of the Eight Trigrams: Question: have a set of antique furniture which was given by my mum. I measured the furniture and it fits the good measures of the Feng Shui Ruler. Is this good? Can you also elaborate more on the Feng Shui Ruler? Yes most `true' antique furnitures (Chinese influence) do have a set of measurements that follows the Feng Shui ruler. As the furniture was given by your mum (to confirm: from her home?) if so, it is OK. For other antique furniture that you want to purchase, where possible check it's origin. This is because it is said that furnitures do absorb the Qi from its surroundings and for example when we purchase a home, a FS Master would normally also ask who were the previous owners especially if the house has been built for quite some time. This is the same rationale used to check on the antique furniture's origin. For the dining table, one of the best materials is still wood. New furniture needs sometime to absord Qi from it's surrounding. Glass and marble are less favoured dining table material because of it it's "hard surface" (which is Yang). Do note that "plastic " or polycarbyte are also considered " hard " and Yang. Yin materials is considered to provide generally a more `cosy' especially for the home. 2. Feng Shui Dimensions and the Feng Shui Ruler - Under Yin Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the dead, great importance is placed on measurements e.g. of the grave tombstone etc. Currently, not many Feng Shui Masters know this skill as Yang Feng Shui or Feng Shui for the Living is `more widely' used today. This is mainly because of land scarcity and the need to cremate the dead. Cremation is said to have a neutral effect on the decendants of the dead. Secondly, Feng Shui for the living is `more lucrative'. I understand that most users will ask this question: Is it important to follow Feng Shui measurements? Lets look at these points:- In the present day, there are many furniture designers and furniture makers. It is not possible to use the measurements on the Feng Shui ruler. Even if som e furniture makers are aware of it, they may not believe in Feng Shui. Most of us are not able to custom design home furnitures. Even if we do, we may only custom design e.g. built in cupboards but not possible for every furniture in the home e.g. dining table, sitting room table and chairs etc. So what should we do? I like to point out there are a few Schools of Thoughts regarding this matter:- (1). Some Feng Shui Masters may say. use your six sense or the " Intuitive " form of Feng Shui and buy what you like and " meets " your needs. This is a sensible approach and the most practical in today's world. Simply go get what you like. I agree with this. (2). Some Feng Shui designers (through their learning of Feng Shui) have incorporated some Feng Shui friendly features e.g. furniture with `rounded' corners. Do note: not "wavy" furniture as in the water element but furnitures that are `suppose' not to give off poision arrows from it's edges. I also agree with this. This is equally acceptable as most of us do read about poision arrows from nearly every FS website to nearly every FS books. You can consider the use of Feng Shui dimensions as `secondary' importance to Feng Shui. In fact, today, because of commercialisation of Feng Shui so little has been paid to Feng Shui dimensions i.e. what can you earn from teaching FS dimensions? When we do research at Geomancy.net, we believe as far as possible to bring up two sides of the coin and let users be the judge for themselves. No hidden agenda on this. One interesting point: In Singapore, it is a little known fact that the main doors of practically all Housing Development Board Flats which more than 90% of Singaporeans are living have the main door dimensions that fit Feng Shui dimensions. Most FS Masters do talk about the importance of the `mouth' of the house i.e. the main entrance door. As mentioned above, this is considered a `little known fact' because of the racial diversity in Singapore. The `worry' is that this may offend other races especially the e.g. Malays who are Muslims and may get the wrong idea that Feng Shui is a religion. Cecil Lee Centre for Feng Shui Research February 1999 Good and Bad Dimensions Length (CM) Potent Remarks 0 to 5.4 Good Fortune 5.5 to 10.7 Bad Sickness 10.8 to 16.1 Bad Divorce 16.2 to 21.4 Good Fairness 21.5 to 26.8 Good Promotion 26.9 to 32.1 Bad Theft 32.2 to 37.5 Bad Accident 37.5 to 42.9 Good Origin Suitable size of a table:- Width = 83.75cm to 86.25cm Length = 147.25cm to 152.25cm Height = 81.25cm to 83.75cm More... These are some of the considerations of the Feng Shui Ruler:- 1. Even under the Indian art of Vastu; their main concern is thatespecially the interior space of a home should have good measurements. 2. Feng Shui does not even go into Para 1. 3. Furthermore, what you have mentioned is at the external of your actual home i.e. the site: garden and entrance area. 4. Just look at it, your main gate area will have "holes" or openings - unlikethe building of the home itself. 5. A rule of thumb in Feng Shui is that onecan or could or may use a simple standard of 17 inches (or roughly 43cm). 6. Thusif you want to consider auspicious width, then any multiples of 17 inches is considered very auspicious. Note: every 17 inches is = equal to a Feng Shui "foot". And 17 inches by 17 inches square and if one divides it into two equal triangles; each of the triangle is considered as a magic square. http://www.geomancy.net/resources/theories/fs-ruler.htm 7. Frankly, if you do use the Feng Shui ruler for your main gate.. erh.. don't quote this site.. as some people may think that I have dementia or too crazy and only eat, sleep and think only about the Feng Shui ruler. 8. In my opinion; what you are trying to do, is peanuts. To think big; or go for the bigger picture, I feel there are more productive things to do than this .... "obsession" with the Feng Shui ruler...

Not bad. Especially by non-Chinese. Stall name is Lina Fishball Noodle. Order their $4.50 small. Technically, well executed. I won’t say the best. But comparable to many good stalls. Well balanced flavours = Good. Would eat again. No, did not see the lady boss. Just many young handsome Indian men.

Woodlands South Plans "wrap-around" Mosque Case Study 1: 1st impressions reminds one of HDB Tampines Greenspring launched in November 2019 Extract from Tampines GreenSpring write-up... Case Study 1: Should I be concerned buying a home near a mosque? 1. In a multi-racial society of Singapore, it is pretty common to have mosques close-by. 2. As land bank in Singapore gets scarce, in recent years the government tried to find as many "left-over" plots of land to squeeze into housing. 2.1. For example, private developers also even bid on enbloc land to build Paya Lebar Residences (PLR) which TOP in 2003 (formerly known as Vistaya View). Like this site, PLR is just a short-walk to the MRT & lots of amendities. & Our Tampines HUB. 2.2. Not only is it beside Masjid Wak Tanjong Mosque, it is also beside a Madrasah Wak Tanjong Al-Islamiah. 3. HDB Tampines GreenSpring is also built on "left-over" plot of land. 3.1. Thus it is not unusual for the Darul Ghufran Mosque to be along the major Tampines Avenue 5 Road. And Tampines GreenSpring to kind-of wrap itself around the mosque. 3.2. As far back as the 1970's Singapore mosques were allowed to broadcast prayers at specific time of the day. And if I can recall, at least three (3) or more times a day. 4. Fortunately, nowadays, mosques remain silent. A plus for tranquility. Other than especially on Fridays where one can expect near-by road-side and carparks full of vehicles during this timing. 5. From a Shapes and Forms Feng Shui, best to avoid a unit directly facing the Crest on top of a typical mosque dome. As this can be considered a Sha Qi. Much like another home could have been facing the spine of a Catholic/Christian church Cross. 6. It is difficult to shake-off someone else perceived stigma. 6.1 Thus even if one is neutral or try to "live-and-let-live" with a unit facing or next to a mosque. 6.2 However, when it comes to re-sale say 5 years or later. This can seriously affect the re-sale value of one's unit. 6.3 Here, there is no way to ally someone else preference if they simply don't want to buy the unit. 6.4 Often, we might even expect low-ball offers... in such unfortunate situations. 6.5 Of course, if today, the price of such flats is a hefty discount.. please do your own sums. As price or cost of purchase of any home is not a Feng Shui thing. 6.6 Common sense is that in an open market, often, buyers already have some expectations.. such as paying more for unblocked views...... pool views ... if any...
