feng shui in farrer court

i received a two-page letter that was slipped under my door a few weeks ago. i didn't bother to read it until recently, but i was quite surprised at the contents:

"dear residents and friends,

we are writing to you to share with you something critically important to the health and well-being of you and your entire family.

have you or your loved ones been experiencing:
1. recurrent ill health or even death?
2. bad luck at work and at home?
3. inability to make or retain wealth?
4. poor family relationships including divorce?
5. having only female children or grandchildren?
6. poor studies in school and lousy exam results?

we have long asked why such problems have plagued us and our neighbours since we moved into our home in farrer court.

we have also noticed that our estate has had its fair share of suicides, and have personally witnessed the ones that happened in blocks a, b and c since we moved in. we have also heard that there was a bizarre murder case in block f involving a maid killing her employer. on tues 5 mar 2007, a maid jumped to her death in block b in the wee hours of the morning. why?

at first, we attributed these problems as being part and parcel of life. but when things got worse, we went to consult not just 1 but 4 different feng shui masters from different schools, because we desperately needed to know why so many things are going wrong.
.
.
.
*goes on to say how farrer court has accumulated an excess of ying energy, which is the female or dark energy...and basically how farrer court is a shit place to stay in...blah blah blah. open the pictures below for details.*
.
.
.
so we will be moving out soon. we can't stand our kids falling sick, us working hard and getting nowhere, our cars getting into accidents, our kids doing badly in school. we have had enough.

we really like the facilities around here and are sad to go. we enjoy the convenience of this location but we really have to go so that we can have better health, peace and harmony in the family, and maybe a boy child.

we are really hoping the en-bloc can go through because when the en-bloc occurs and they dig and move the land around, maybe we'll buy back the new flats they build. hope they build it according to good feng shui this time around.

we are sharing with you before we go. if you are not bothered by this, then ignore our crazy ranting. but if you have been plagued like we have, if you had just about up to here with bad luck, money problems and ill health, now you know why.

your fellow resident of farrer court"






after reading this letter, and even after calming myself down, i could still only think of one word: greed.

if you wanna move, then move lah! what's that gotta do with the en-bloc??? err...let's see, maybe cuz it'll make you a freaking millionaire??? (yes, each unit is being offered around at least $1.5 million at the moment...which i think is still too little btw) are you really THAT concerned about the "health and well-being" of your fellow residents??? please...this letter reads so differently in my opinion.

and i hate it when people blame their inadequacies on "feng shui". sure, i think that some people (myself included) are superstitious about certain things, but don't blame every damn thing on bad luck.

take some responsibility man...i bet your poor daughter(s) will thank you for doing so.

NO!... don't enbloc and hope to be a millionaire from the sale. Come on... the facts are already there: THERE IS BAD FENG SHUI WITHIN FARRER COURT!
And because of BAD FENG SHUI, you will only get $1.00 if you enbloc! DOn't you get it??

I wonder if the writer of the letter has daughters. And if so, I wonder how they'd feel if they read his letter.

I mean, how unfortunate, really, to only have FEMALE children. Tsk tsk.

Today the writer's pet hamsters will give birth to all female babies.

Hahahhaa... I live in Farrer Ct too, and received the same letter as well. As soon as I finished reading it, the paper immediately turned into a crumpled junk that goes into the trash bin. My housemates didn't even had the chance to read it. LOL.

you may not know this, but I like to touch myself.

angmoh doctor say pak chiu cheng is good for health:

Men could reduce their risk of developing prostate cancer through regular masturbation, researchers suggest.

Men who ejaculated more than five times a week were a third less likely to develop prostate cancer later in life.


i encourage you to touch yourself.
don't shy.

I, the sieteocho.

I am amazed that some people are willing to trade a 1500 sq foot leasehold appt with plenty of space and an MRT at your doorstep in Farrer Rd for $1.5 mil. Where can you get something that convenient?? Botanic gardens opposite, Nanyang and the market nearby....Why are your neighbours so eager to subsidise the developers???

WTH so desperate to sell the unit and can come up with such crappy nonsense about feng shui! Worst still for a good location like that the owner can undersell his unit. What a joke!

Enblocs should be made illegal; if the developer is keen to buy over a property with existing property owners, they had better jolly well enter into a discussion with each and individual family that is affected to close the sale individually. Otherwise, there is going to be no end to all the wrangling between people who want to sell, and people who want to stay.

Besides giving the individual families the opportunity to wrestle a huge resettlement from the developer, it will also help prevent these cases from clogging up the litigation sector.

Now that leedon went for $1k psfppr, you all shold be asking for $3 mil per unit minimum!

Sadly the en bloc has gone through. I am going to miss this place. Now the question is where to stay? Prices of houses are so high! En bloc should be made illegal so that residents can live in peace and not worry about the roof over their heads.
