“Thank you, dad, you just lost our house.” Said a teenage boy waking out of the house with his sister and mother. Many many years ago in a financial crisis, my dad and a few of his closest friends brought a landed property off a man that lost all his asset in speculation of shares. And at an excellent price. Two hours later they sold it for a handsome profit of five hundred thousand dollars. That day when dad came home and shared with us his success, it was not an invitation

How many times you come out of the toilet, and you met a friend who wanted to shake your hand? Your hand is still wet; you apologised, you quickly rubbed your hand onto your pants or shirt before extending your hand? What if there is no more toilet paper after you have done your big business? Or your own body turned on you, your special friend shows up a few days earlier, and you don't have a tampon with you. No pad. Toilet paper run out. You are in the handicapped toi

Oh My God! I cannot even see my hand! It is 9 am, bright and sunny day, and we are conducting an On Site Feng Shui Audit for Susan’s newly purchased resale flat. But her flat is so pitch-dark that we needed to turn on the lights for the whole house. The corridor leading towards the bedrooms is in total darkness as all the bedroom's doors are shut. Why is her house so dark? What effect it has on Feng Shui and her luck? Susan’s flat is on the 2nd floor; giant, tall mature trees

These designs are ridiculous, what were they thinking when they were designing the buildings? Colin is a Senior Architect from a reputable architectural firm, we just met at a networking breakfast for the first time, and I took the opportunity to grill him like a criminal. Judging from his facial expression, Colin must have regretted coming for this event. I don’t mean to be rude but why do architects design houses that are of odd shapes? I continue to explain to him why the

BE A Man The above statement is made famous by internationally renowned Canadian comedian Russell Peters. However, the encounter I had last weekend in our Free Floor Plan Analysis was not that pleasant.

Thomas leads a sales team; he is unable to recruit good self-motivated, sales driven, mature and responsible personnel for gr

Aunty, how do you know that my daddy is a late sleeper? Sometimes when I wake up in the middle of the night to use the toilet, Daddy is still watching TV in the living room? Edmund (7 years old) is our client’s son, and he is curious how come we know this daddy’s sleeping habits?

People, people, people, you cannot live without them, you wish you can be part of them, yet you want to keep a distance from them, and you can never be alone because you are a social creature. Pardon the less than perfect rhyme, wrote this blog at 2 am in the morning. Hamish came to see us for a free floor plan analysis, and he has a concern. Before seeing us, he attended a Feng Shui talk organised by his condominium's Facebook group. The Feng Shui Master that his group engag
