So some highlights from the feng shui tour I was on earlier today.

This is Parkview Square.

Owned by businessmen, there are many fengshui elements ensuring that it continues to be the most expensive office space in Singapore.

You’ll feel its grandeur when you’re there. https://t.co/Skjyxs6hxk

At the front of the building, there’s a golden sculpture of a bird in flight.

This symbolises the phoenix, an essential element to be placed at the front of buildings to ensure continued prosperity.

Notice a Botero sculpture in the background? Nope, that’s just art. https://t.co/36HZ1Q8JuE

We looked behind us at The Gateway, a pair of buildings designed by the famous architect, I. M. Pei.

Because of its sharp edges, it generates a lot of sha chi, or poison arrows, causing surrounding buildings to have to take deflecting measures. https://t.co/W14DcZfO0i

Notice the metal sculpture in the foreground?

Yes it’s a 69 if you look at it the correct way.

Unlike what you might be thinking, it symbolises the flow of water, and with it, wealth.

Also, the building it’s in front of is built in a flowing, tai chi style to deflect sha chi. https://t.co/jaf4CcIlGn

We ended our tour near the Merlion, which was relocated recently.

I’m surprised to learn that the constant stream of water symbolises the Merlion constant drinking, attracting constant wealth to our country. (💧= 💰)

Lots of people taking photos of our guardian of the island. https://t.co/jpg62okiFM

Oh almost forgot. We saw the Marina Bay Sands, made famous by Crazy Rich Asians & other memes.

It has a special formation called the 7 star constellation. Fascinating.

Notice the ArtScience Museum in the bottom right? Looks like a lotus doesn’t it? It’s one of the seven stars. https://t.co/GeKFGUrY4e

An assortment of hotels are located to the left of MBS, symbolising the white tiger formation. It supports the area.

Conrad Hotel second from the bottom left, has the number ‘13’ if you look closely, built into the facade. It is a lucky number for continued longevity & wealth. https://t.co/cKCV1eNeyK

Was kinda tired after the 4 hour walking tour, complete with rest stops and a tea break.

My kind friend Siew Gek was very kind to accommodate my special needs of twice twisted, weak ankles and let me sit down frequently. https://t.co/3R8OJpURZa

We didn’t go to many other attractions to check out their feng shui elements, such as Parliament House, Takashimaya, OCBC Building, and many more.

All mistakes in this thread are my own and my imperfect memory.

I’m still learning and am sometimes forgetful. 🙏🏼

If you’re coming to Singapore & would like a friendly & knowledgeable tour guide, I highly recommend my friend, Siew Gek.

She does other interesting tours too, like her Nature Tour & Places of Worship Tour.

Disclaimer: I’m her friend & might be biased.

Oh a correction, I meant “bottom left” not “bottom right”, when referring to the lotus like ArtScience Museum in this tweet.

Addendum: Ah yes, how could I have forgotten the Singapore Flyer?

I’ve also heard the same reason about why the direction of its spin was changed.

I think they were trying to mitigate something… https://t.co/bzh1leWy6X

It was designed with 28 capsules, each fitting 28 people. A lucky number.

Sadly the placement isn’t great, resulting in poor showings & frequent breakdowns.

Instead of having it close to the ground to appear to generate the churning of water = wealth, it’s on a raised platform.

While the raised platform makes it good for F1 matches & the accompanying stream of income it brings, it caused the Singapore Flyer not to have auspicious feng shui for itself.

Structures near water are supposed to be very prosperous, if feng shui placements are executed well.
