Went down yesterday and there are still 47 units left. But was told price will go up on 1st Sept? Peek inside and see them doing the pool. From the look of it, everything will be quite cramp with the fitness corner and pool very near to the units.

Not bad lah this one. But the new One St Michael is going to be the hot condo darling in the area after this one. Mark my words.

OL is very strategic in location. 3 min to Potong Pasir MRT, once out of main route, left to PIE/KPE (2008) or CTE. abt 10 min to Marina Bay/ East Coast. 4 stn to Dhobby Gaut and when CCL opens up.. can go anywhere in the Very convenient. Biggest plot among the apts around it. Design quite stylish contemporary with Skygarden. For 194 units not too cramp. A freehold property hard to come by.

03-10-06, 15:26
One St Michael also by Centerpoint homes slightly more crampy with a smaller plot. 2 towers of 131 units at main Serangoon Rd. In between Boon Keng and P Pasir MRT. Cheaper alternative closer to downtown. For better accessibilty , landscaping and Privacy, but slightly pricier, OL is a better choice.

I like this FH development , location one of the best at city fringe, 2 mins to Potong Pasir MRT. 194 units 18-sty glass-facade with Skygarden and 50m pool. PLot size biggest among the private develoment in area, full-condo facilities. Not many left, only 3 rms at 650 or less psf. Good buy for anyone considering free-hold condominium. :) :) :)

Only 3 and 4 rooms ,all facing the main pool view. 2 min to Potong Pasir MRT and central location at Woodsville Interchange mean you can hit PIE/CTE and the new KPE to anywhere in S'pore. 10 mins to Marina Bay /CBD by KPE. When CCLR is up even better. 4 MRT sop to Dhobby Ghaut and the future Orchard turn (6 MRT-stop). At less or around 650 psf, can easily beat any Bukit Timah or inside-city FH condos. One Leicester is barely at the city-fringe , to me is even better than areas like Holland or RedHill and Tiong Bahru considering MRT/Circle Line as public mode of transport in 5 years time.

Good location and the only development with a condo status around that area. Surprisingly the average PSF is lower than Intero.

only concern is the road in and out of Leicester road for drivers- only one way, no alternative route to take. With more projects coming, it's going to cause some jam during the rush hours.

This freehold site has a land area of approximately 10,298 sqm and is located off Upper Serangoon Road. It is easily accessible via the Central Expressway and Pan Island Expressway. The site is located near residential developments such as Avon Park and Euro Asia Park. The proposed Woodleigh MRT Station is located within close proximity. Prominent schools within the immediate vicinity include Cedar Girls Secondary School, Maris Stella High School and Victoria School. The proposed development will comprise 2 blocks of 14 storey with a total of approximately 224 condominium units (2/3/4 - bedroom apartments) with basement carparks, swimming pool and a clubhouse.

Suprising One Leicester is priced cheaper than Blossoms @Woodsleigh.
Heard 30+ units left. should be completely sold-out by TOP time.

Unregistered
09-01-07, 14:21
Maybe it is because of location? Blossoms is further from town but its location is not so congested. Even with HDB town coming up nearby, it is likely to be well-planned and look good. The area around One Leicester's location is totally messy and congested.

OL now left 23 units unsold; take-up rate has already achieves 88.1%. Remaining are 7 nos. of 4 Bedroom units and 3 Bedroom units. More than half available are 5th stories and below. PSF is from S$650 onwards. CP homes will be making 1 more round price hike in early April 2007 after FY 2006 closes on End-Mar 2007. Anyway expect remaining 23 units to be sold within next 2 to 3 months.

Highway, cemetery, don't matter. You must take the whole of Singapore and find out which are the good and bad sectors. One Leicester lies in a good sector.

If I tell you in great detail, I might as well charge consultation $$ already. :D Not charge you, but charge Fraser Centrepoint.

Latest info: The Urban Redevelopment Authority has also received a minimum bid of $30 million or $257.18 psf ppr for a site at Woodsville Close near Potong Pasir MRT Station. Savills reckons mass market property prices could achieve double-digit growth this year. On the Woodsville Close site, It is not unreasonable to expect bid prices to cross $300 psf ppr given the site's close proximity to the Potong Pasir MRT station and the imminent rebound of the mass market.' The Woodsville Close site could attract bullish bids. 'Based on a possible average selling price of $750 psf, bids could range from around $40 million ($343 psf ppr) to $45 million ($385 psf ppr). As the site is within walking distance to Potong Pasir MRT station and has easy access to expressways, condominium units developed at this site will be sought-after by potential upgraders from the surrounding HDB estates.'

The 3 landed terrace houses next to INTERO are also up for sales. Good if the entire Leicester road are up for redevelopment plus the 99 yrs LH plot along woodsville close for new residential development. LTA must now widen Woodsville close and make it 2-way street to ease unecessary road blockage and jam during morning and evening pick hours.

Even if it is cheap, i find it hard to stay in a house in that environment with all the noise pollution..not to mention if there is a traffic jam with all the air pollution...and its not cheap!

Roads, Noise, Expway all condos in city-living face these conditions. They will not changed. The pple are not crazy, they have accept these fact as in all great cities livings in Hong Kong, Tokyo, Shanghai, Manhanttan, London ... There is buzz and live, convenience and great cityscape view that parts of it. It come with a premiun. Except for pple like you who have not accepted this fact don;t have this logic in them and that's why they continue to lose out in this ... OL is sold at a bargain-value for FH, next to MRT, city-fringe location. Now it's close to 45% up. If you still don't have the logic in you .. prepare to retire to island living. NO need to understand the world around you..

City-fringe especially FH property in Balestier, Thomson Rd, Mar Thoma rd and Leicester rd areas already command $900 - $1100 psf. That's the market pricing mechanism.

Property today unlike the 1996 bubble. Those day speculation. Today, S'pore is repositioing as a global city attracting 5.5 million pple (+ immigrant). With IR and opening up, It's irreversible. Property now a stratified by Super High End, High End, Mid-tier and mass market according to the region layout. Even HDB also stratified by city, central region like Toa Payoh, Boon Keng etc is also a zone game. That's the market.

Many pple who missed out esp those sour grapes just could'nt accept that the ppty game rule has changed and are hoping the subprime crisis will undo it all. Can you buy a HDB 3 rm in Toa Payoh for $7,500 ?. That's the price in 1970. Today, it worth $230,000 with 60 years lease left.

It is a myth (perhaps the oldest one in the book) that Freehold is better than Leasehold. There are no conclusive studies on this.
What many seem to forget is that property is all about LOCATION. The first thing students of real estate are taught is location, location and location. So focus more on location and less on tenure.

OL is similar to The ARTE, the new 36 storey CDL freehold condo at the other end of Jln Toa Payoh/ Thomson Rd. Traffic situations is worst with PIE and Thomson/Balestier rd. See what kind of pricing (psf) at launch to make comments. OL has MRT and nearer to Marina Bay view.

Health is wealth. Try to sell OL early to avoid hypertension and heart disease.

The traffic along Jalan TP so difficult to cut out from Woodville during peak hours. Main traffic quite continuous and most drivers not keen to give way although got yellow box. Some drivers tried to "force" their way out. Quite hazardess when trying to cut across the lanes horizontally to get towards Bendemeer direction.

The PIE facing residents already getting PIE noise all day long, now may also get daily honks from angry drivers. The real victims are the public buses trying to turn into Upper Serangoon road.

Subject: To change Woodsville Close into a 2-way street

There will be 5 or 6 condos along the Leicester Road. However, there is only ONE exit on an 1-way street (Woodsville Close) to Jalan Toa Payoh and this will cause a very heavy traffic jam in the very near future.

LTA please conduct an inspection soon and I propose to change Woodsville Close into a 2-way street so that the traffic can also flow to Potong Pasir instead of Jln Toa Payoh only."

I have been looking for a 2 or 3 bedroom condo unit to buy for investment.
I have decided to drop Kovan Melody after having read bad comments from forum participants. It seems that I have to drop One Leicester after having read bad comments about traffic noises from the expressway. I could imagine the bad traffic noise at 6am in the morning. In addition, traffic congestion will be bad as parents fetch their children to nearby schools. 2 sites opposite OL will be developed as high-rise apartments in due course. It seems that OL residents will have to bear with construction noises, dust and dirt.

Just went to see a 2 bedder unit at stack 04.

Selling points:
1) Nice layout, good furnishing and decent worksmanship
2)Unblocked cityview and windy
3)Good sizeable land size and full condo facilities
4)Near to MRT and yet Freehold
5) Near to good and reputable ST Andrew Schools

Bad points:
1)Very heavy traffic from the PIE and to me the noise level is almost unbearable especially I am a light sleeper.
2)Traffic conditions can be quite bad around the area
3)Although windy, the air can be quite polluted.

Conclusion, I would say all the 2 bedders facing the PIE r not so suitable for long term self stay as it poses noise and air pollution which can be hazardous to our health in the long run. For those who turn on aircon for the whole day, the noise is very much minimised once u close up all the windows.

However, this project possess gd investment rental yield for its proximity to the city central and MRT is just a few steps away.

Personally, I would go for the 3bedroom units facing the direct full length poolview for investment or self stay. I believe 3 bedroom units will be selling very well as it is away from the PIE and it attracts families who want to enrol their kids at nearby school. By looking at the recent caveats, 3bedrm units are by far the most sellable.

I hope no hard feelings for all the 2 bedder owners. First owners will be sitting on healthy paper gains and the rental yield will be above 7% based on ur orginal purchase price..so it is still a gd investment afterall!

PropertyHunter,

I fully concurred with you b'cos I owned a unit at top of OL (not your unit lah) at very good vantage pt. Noise is a relative thing when you have all the condos in prime city facing roads,exp w and what not. Behind the double-glaze windows, sound is almost totally shut-out. Come 2010 when Kallang Basin, Marina Bay, CBD and Orchard/ Newton areas are done up and light up with Fireworks for all occassion, we will see the difference between facing the Hougang poolside and facing the PIE view. Cheers !!:) :) :)

If you want 2 bedders, go for stack 04! It has its main living/dining areas' planter/balcony sliding doors facing hougang where you avoided the noise if you are concern about this effect of close city living for this project. It still retains a smaller bay window (can choose to close it) facing the flyer / cityview. So owners for this stack of 2 bedders actually get the best of both worlds!

Apart from stack 4, I think stack 3 is alos not bad. The best layout and biggest among the PIE unit, good ventilation (extra windows at bedroom passage area) and more daylight from living/dining/study/bedrooms. The planter areas biggest and offer the best view vantage point (stack 7 planter has a wall blockage and weird study room shape without the extra window at bdroom passage). Access to lobby/facility/Gym is also best compared to other units. just MHO

JUST IMHO, the project has its good and bad points as raised above; it will depend on who is assessing it! Nevertheless asking prices for this project that just TOP is very much pretty reasonable! As a Fact; CP homes will be launching its 99 yr site very soon, with its URA land price of SGD 434 psf secured in July 2007 and with today's construction rate; it has to go for SGD 850 to 900 psf to make 10% profit when launch for sales in June! The site is also smaller, only about 35% of OL's site and lesser facilities for sure! Most importantly, OL is FH, so don't anyone think OL should easily go at around SGD 900 to 1000 psf. However, the not so good sentiments hanging around these days are preventing its price from hitting that level. Average caveat prices from Jan to Apr 08 indicates only SGD 865 psf!

As first owners bot OL at around 600-700psf, It is not surprising to see some panicky sellers dropping their asking prices for a quick sale especially during this lull period.

As for those units facing PIE, the debate is on cityview vs traffic noise.

I have pointed out earlier that I prefer quieter facing rather than nice unblocked cityview. However, it is up to the individual to decide what they want. Those condo in D15 boosts itself with seaview, but facing ECP are also selling like hotcakes.

To me, nice view does not last very long. U maybe attracted to buy a unit for its great view, but after 6mths to 1 yr later, everything boils down to its location, convenience and monthly installment.

If owners selling at these prices, buyers should pick up, CP homes won't even be selling at such prices as that these prices are below breakeven for them! This itself will be a support for OL project.

I for one shall be holding and if sells only when CP homes are selling! Anyway, cashing out at lower margin now may be meaningless too considering that under current inflation environment, is there other better way to put away / invest such little profit margins? Furthermore, (1) HDB flats buyers still asking high prices, though lower C.O.V. now already. (2) Main developers are not giving in to lower prices yet so no new launches / supplys. (3) Now sentiments already quite bad, how worse can it be? (4) Basically, you sell one, replacement pty px still high, how sure that they will drop?...

So those selling really cannot tahun ones lah. Maybe got burnt in stocks or cannot obtain loans to pay 65% TOP progress payment due this month!

Is this area under PAP or OPPOSITION?

I am afraid the general public area will be run down if it is opposition like Hougang and Potong Pasir.

I am also worried about the noise from the PIE. That one is 24 hour heavy traffic. I cannot stand noise, if it is really that noisy I think I will go nuts.

Also, what kind of neighbours? Are they HDB upgraders? I hope they won't bring their disgusting HDB habits here if they decide to move in.

More than 85% of Singaporeans live in HDB flats. It is wrong to generalise that all HDB dwellers including those upgrading to private homes behave worse than those living in private apartments and condominiums.

I agree with you. It all depends on your pure luck to have good neighbours!

Remember the landed homes saga? There is simply many weird ppl around regardless of their financial and education background.

Buyers forfeit deposits to exit deals
Developers left facing unsold inventory as tighter loans and falling markets hit sentiment

Yvonne Liu
Jun 18, 2008 , SCMP


Growing numbers of would-be home buyers in Beijing and Shenzhen are choosing to forfeit their deposits and withdraw from offers to buy homes as the uncertain outlook for the mainland property market erodes confidence.
Home buyers in Beijing have the right not to proceed with purchases and return properties to developers during a "cooling-off" period of seven days, but any deposits that typically range from 20,000 yuan (HK$22,668) to 30,000 yuan will be lost.


In Shanghai, where agents said buyers had also begun cancelling deals since last month, the cooling-off period is two days and if buyers withdraw from their contracts within this period their deposits are returned.

While the system gives buyers a second chance to reconsider their investments, it may become a nightmare for developers.

According to data compiled by the Beijing local government and quoted in the Beijing Morning Post, 0.72 per cent to 3.92 per cent of buyers of four large residential projects in Beijing did not proceed with their purchases since early this year.

The situation has since worsened, said Li Wenjie, the general manager of Centaline (China) in the city. "Investors have lost money on the stock market and now they worry that property prices will drop further because of the falls on the stock market," he said.

Ten new residential projects in Beijing received sale consents in April and last month and data shows that 2.8 per cent to 8.72 per cent of the buyers did not proceed with their purchases and returned the properties to the developers, Mr Li said.

"However, it would be unusual to see the percentage increase by much more than this, or, say, to more than 5 per cent [on average]," he added.

Many of the buyers now withdrawing from proposed deals were middle-income investors who had suffered the most as a result of the declines in share prices. Most had bought properties around the Fifth Ring Road for 10,000 yuan per square metre, he added.

In Shanghai, Jessica Jiang, a deputy manager at Century 21, said the situation was not as bad as Beijing as property prices did not rise sharply last year. "Property prices remained stable after the cooling measures in October last year. And the price war in the primary market is not as serious as Beijing or Shenzhen," she said.

However, in Shenzhen and Guangzhou property prices retreated sharply after the cooling measures. According to a research report by DTZ, property prices in Shenzhen and Guangzhou dropped 7.3 per cent and 3.3 per cent respectively in the first quarter. But prices in Beijing and Shanghai rose 2.7 per cent and 1.8 per cent respectively.

Andy Lee, the general manager for Centaline (China) in Shenzhen, said that the city did not offer cooling-off periods for buyers. About 5 per cent of those who bought properties in the peak seasons of last year were in default for units recently, he said.

He estimated more than 50 per cent of the buyers during the February, March, June and July peak seasons were investors.

New home prices in Shenzhen have dropped 25 per cent to 30 per cent since October last year. A project in Nanshan district in Shenzhen even cut prices by more than 40 per cent to about 12,000 yuan per square metre since the fourth quarter of last year.

Mr Lee said many investors expected the consolidation in the property market would continue.

"They expect the price war in the primary market will continue as tighter conditions on property loans and weak buying sentiment force developers to adopt aggressive price discounting to lure buyers," he said. "Now they are trying to stop their losses."

In Guangzhou, Centaline (China) general manager Ellis Wong Hin-ming said a similar situation had arisen where more than 30 per cent of buyers at Evergrande Royal Scenic Peninsula developed by Evergrande Real Estate Group (SEHK: 3333) had returned the units to developers.

However, the situation was better than in Shenzhen as the growth in Guangzhou property prices last year was lower than in Shenzhen, Mr Wong said.

Don't think you have painted an accurate picture by drawing out only two transactions to compare.:tsk-tsk:

Jun 08 at $590psf is unit #10-09, this is the same unit that transacted at in March for $885psf. The seller who sold it lost $340,360 within 3 months. There could be a host of reasons why it was sold so low and we may never know.

On the other side of the penny, the rest of the subsales in 2008 transacted above $800psf, with the exception of the May 08 transaction at $798psf for unit #02-01, I suspect that has to do with it being locatin in the lower level than any other reasons.

Overall, most of the subsellers earned a profit around the region of $200k +-.

May not be right to claim the market is down because of one transaction.

If is NOT down then is definety NOT UP , right.
Normally When TOP price will rise, but this is reverse. From S$860 to S$807 then S$798. The graph if drawn even a child say is negative.
Those who buy at STart, please hold it, do NOT be stupid to Sell at CUT profit. Next transaction will tell is I am right or NOT other than the S$590psf one.

If you score 100 marks for your first test, 90 marks for second and 75 marks for your third one, does that means you have become stupid?
I will agree with you if the same unit is transacted three times and each time lower than the previous time. If not, how can it be a basis of telling the trend?

This is good speculative example most likely if NOT maybe??
This will NOT do good for OL as many may miss read unless some expert like iridrium. But is a speculative person then is a good example for other speculators. So as said by Lousy Investment so call" Let them DIE PAIN PAIN". I do agree too that they learn a expensive Life lesson in investment. Long Term.

There will always be undercutting by various sellers. Pple sell for various reasons; some are motivated, some are just testing the market. With the buyer-seller standoff and cautious sentiment, there will be a wide range of $psf and undercutting at OL unless sellers are willing to band together to bring up the price.

OSM not so near mrt yet can fetch above $900psf???


I agree OL location is quite ideal. Near to MRT, only thing is the traffic.
But OSM also faces the traffic problem. Location nothing to shout about. Neither here or there

OSM just TOPed and thus should fetch a slight premium. I agree that OL location is better in terms of MRT. :)

Correction. The highest transaction is $914 psf for OL unit. Also not many transactions because there are not many willing sellers for OL unit after TOP. I guess most bought to stay because of convenience of MRT and being so near to city. Many also bought for their children's schooling. (St Andrew Village, Cedar Girl, Maris Stella etc). :D

I did receive call from agent every now and then but No one else is selling in OL. Where to find a FH full facility condo with less than 100m to MRT stn just at the city fringe where you can see Flyer, Marina Bay Sand IR, Orchard centre, ION residences.

Those who did have done it earlier last year 2009 and just after TOP 2008. Many probably regretted selling too early if not can fetch much higher price now.

Never like St Michael area, I was looking at a enbloc site there when I was working for a developer, I was quite disgusted with the traffic condition there. Worse thing is that there are no other options to go home other than via the crowded serangoon road. Price should not be the only factor to prove the desirability of an area.

No vested interest in both area too, but I do like Leicester area better than St Michael area.

You are right. Recently TOP City Regency penthouse MM unit sold at 635k or 1228psf. St Michael's does have upside potential, esp when this is reached before VT, BH nor AS is up.

Yes, Firework seen on new year eve ! With Parc Ashton near TOP (end 2010) and Woodsville 28 coming up very nicely by end 2010, the entire Leicester and Woodsville close area look very exclusive and private enclave by itself. Best part of it is so accessible by MRT and public transport compared to St Michael area. Once out of PP MRT, turn left and you see all those condo and apartments within 1 - 3 minutes of slow walk.

st michael is so convenient and so near town. even though MRT is not 3 to 5 mins away, but 10 mins walk is not that bad. at least around boon keng MRT station, there are so many amenities. DBS, UOB banks, boon tong kee, a few chinese restaurants, a huge hawker centre, wet market, numerous clinics, post office etc

we get to view spectacular fireworks and can even see the ones at vivo city and ion (during the opening)

some may think that OSM looks like a guardhouse but at least we do not have to walk too deep inside the other developments at st michael's road

i was offered $1000psf for my unit when TOP. but i didnt want to sell it cos i do not think i can get anything at the price i got for OSM with such convenience and view.

some may say the traffic is bad... but honestly... at least we are centralized and saved a lot of time travelling from one place to another. there are other places with traffic jams too... not only this area. things may improve after the woodsville interchange is ready

In St Michael area, OSM I think is the best nearest to main road more accessible. Worst is the deep inside area where BH is. Very cluttered and crowded. When the New Riviera 38 (26 sty) and Riverbay (25 sty) are completed in that Mar Thoma area, can you imagine the traffic from Airstream, St Michael Regency, Callista, Vetro, Elysia, St Michael condo, Beacon Height, Riviera 38, Riverbay, Not forgetting City Regency, Sunsville, Rio XXX apt etc. Wow at least 15-16 condo/ apartments in that area.

stop talking cock lah...there are plenty of projects that are better than OL. I dont live in, dont own and dont intend to live along these two god forsaken stretches (Leicester Rd and St Michael). I am simply analysing properties in that area as I have done with many other properties in Singapore (i.e. bt timah, jurong, west coast, hillview etc etc). I personally feel BH is in a more exclusive part of St michael than OSM (thus better) and distance between osm and mrt and bh and mrt is similar. As for OL, it is in a lousier district compared to OSM and BH and in terms of value of properties in D12 and D13, of course D12 would fetch higher, needless to say. Between D12 and D13, it is a no brainer for people to choose D12 if prices are similar. You do not need to get too personal when i say that you do not know your own area well, coz i think you still havent improved much since the last time you were lambasted hands down. :doh:

It is meaningless to compare properties in specific districts per se, without looking at the more unique attributes governing the actual location of the properties. It is just a numbers game with little practical value, especially when we talk about properties in adjoining and relatively close knit districts with similar attributes.:rolleyes:

A district number is not just a number. D11 and 12; D12 and 13; D21 and 23 may be side by side, but as far as pricing is concerned, there is a difference. Even a novice in property would know that district numbers play a crucial role in pricing whether a project is 10 yards or 500 yards from each other. As far as I am concerned, if prices being equal, I will go D11 to D12, D12 to D13, D9 to D8 and D10 to D11 and D21 to D22 and D23... One district number difference is a lot of difference in property terms. Trizon in Mt Sinai may be neither here nor there when it comes to amenities but it is still priced at $1500psf and just slightly cheaper than Parvis behind Holland V simply because it is in D10. D14 is redlight but D15 is not, D8 is cheapo parapoondek town but D9 is high class and upmarket and the list goes on......Anyone can criticise D12 for all they want, but it will still be more upmarket than D13.

D13 does have a nice laidback feel when I walk about the vicinity. However, I stand to my statement that prices (especially of new developments) are very much still attached to district numbers. That's the rule of the game and nature of the market. When banks perform valuation, they don't go and walk about to have a 'feel' of the estate I believe.

Ya la... will take quite a while (maybe a decade) before public forgets. Eg. Bishan

Extracts from Geomancy.Net :- (http://forum.geomancy.net/phpforum/article.php?bid=2&fid=1&mid=13581&new=)

1. For the Chinese, many of our burial sites (past, present) have been Feng Shuied as being very auspicious sites.

2. This is because many Chinese since the Ching and Ming dynasty, it is said that burying ancestors in choice sites will bring good luck for the decendants.

3. However, there is only one twist, a good burial site does not always remain excellent sites. For example, the surroundings may be altered by man e.g. construction, removal of soil, ploughing down a hill or mountain; to make way for construction etc...

4. In Singapore, for example, in the past, many of the best auspicious sites were chosen for burial:

5.1 For example: Orchard road - opposite Tangs / Marriot hotel. The current site where the Orchard road MRT is; used to be an auspicious burial site.

5.2 Bishan - parts of bishan: this used to be an auspicious burial site.

5.3 Yishun and Tampines - these used to be auspicious site. In fact, my grandfather was buried at an auspicious site in Tampines. But it was repossessed by the government in the 1970's and rebuilt.

6. Often, if all the graves are properly exhumed and clear of any of them, such sites can be habited by humans (yang Feng Shui). And will still be auspicious.

7. It is said that there is no issue with living close to the dead. More so, if they live a long life and die of old age etc....

8. Frankly, I do not see an issue; for some people, who prefer to live close to grave sites.

9. In fact, this is very common for churches. Where, the dead are often buried at grounds next to the church. If there is such a `sin' of having it close to people, then, it is more in one's mind than anything else.

In Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan and China; many grave sites are chosen as they had good Feng Shui.


The premise is that the Chinese felt that if their ancestors are buried in good sites; this will dwell well with their decendants. Thus many parts of Singapore be it Yishun (Teochew cemetry); Old Bedok Road; Aljunied, Orchard Road, Bishan all used to have cemetries - on "auspicious sites.

Get your relatives or anyone you know that are getting married to conduct their wedding ceremony in a cemetary and tell them what you just told the forumers here. I think we all know what kind of response you will get....:doh:

Very interesting findings! Thanks...

So means if MRT crash in Orchard station all the dead and buried there will be very auspicious for the offsprings... :scared-2:

That article must be written by someone why lives near a cemetary :doh: . There is simply no way living in a place with too much "ying qi" can be good for people who thrive on "yang qi". There has to be a balance of ying and yang and cemetary land has too much ying qi and it is no good for the living. So a feng shui master telling you that living near cemetary is good is sheer bullcrap.

Sigh... why so much bla..bla.. abt cemetry... :confused:
That's a place for the dead to rest and go back to mother Earth...

Earth everywhere are burial grounds of living creatures (dinosaurs & ants included). Just live in harmony & love each other.. Peace will surround us..

Not unless u did some bad deeds or harbour evil intentions :scared-5:

Think its almost definite that Mrs CST will contest PP, so she may still get the support of the residents. Especially so, if CST is not successful in BTP GRC, then PP will still have him working in the background. :2cents:
