SunSwimmer

Hi Htng & Ivy Thanks for your advice. Understand. Infact they got back to us and I m glad we I didnt engage any prof. FS yet coz We realised that we were not ready to compromise the fengshui advice with our dream layout and design So its a Phew...... As for Yi Si, I understand from my ex father who is FS master that no matter what an Ang Bao is necessary, some kind of "patang' thingy, even $2 is ok. Something along those lines. Yes from the presentation they had given me....a lot of time involved.

Hi ,thank you for your advice. I understand what you mean. Infact my friends are going to give me the report this sat and I wont start renovation till we are happy with the layout. I agree that personal learning of FS is just for leisure, and not to be taken seriously. You need to get some one who is experienced. As for my friends, all they are asking is just an Hongbao. Told me just an "YI SI". It's for the love and passion for the continous learning of FS that they gather to practise, do practical studies and do FS audit regularly, not for commercial benefits. JFYI, "they" is a big group that consists of 15 people!!! So for 15 people who had learned from various FS master to come together to brainstorm and gather their learning and knowledge to analyse and confirm my reading.......I feel very safe. Also most of them are from well-to-do background, so I believe they must have applied what they had learned and done very well for themselves?

Hahahahaha IVY you are so humourous!! Mmmm...... hope he really dont get offended when he sees this Just a joke

Hi Bk 888, I meant to reply this to your message above yesterday but my prepaid card not working well. Anyway, here it is my reply. Hahahhaaha BK888, you are so funny! Understand what you mean. I have nothing against him and what I shared here is true. He definitely have some credits since so many people recommended him and if it had not been the charges I would have tried him,though there were some concern on e awkward placement of some stuff that some forummmers mentioned here. Anyway, if he really has an elephant brain then be it. Everyone has a choice right? Since life is already not easy, I choose to avoid people that is not nice, to make life easier. Even if they have superb svs there is no point if they create any ill feelings right?...which already would creates bad qi.... Really appreciate your advise though. Am sure your words will help alot like me with a small budget for FS I do not have any major problems in life at the moment. Infact, I do a little self study FS and did FS for myself and my husband for the past 2 n half years when we lived in a rented apt. Everything was good for us but when it comes to our 1st permant place, i have no confidence as I am not professional. So I tot by seeking one, it will ease my mind. I just want some precaution and for another party to ensure that our house is "clean" since I had alot of experience being disturbed before when I was young so naturally I am scare. kekeke! Thank you for your encouragement. I totally agree with your suggestions. It is logical to proceed with the renovations now. No time to loose but bonus for me,!!! I managed to get some friends who studied FS to assit me today. hahahaha! After seeing my house and the floor plan layout, they confirmed that there were no major "NOs NOs" and asked me to proceed with renovations first. They said, even after renovations there will still be remedies.... so they asked me not to be afraid. Importantly, we need to feel comfortable with our own house first, FS is all about feeling good. I was so glad and happy to hear that. Now with your suggestions....I am over the moon and totally relieved! hahahaha! A Happy Sunswimmer again!

No No, Master Chang (fengshuiyinying) quoted 1385 and Master Zhang quoted 888.

Hi Kcwee, No, mine is 1498sq ft. I gave Master Chang, fengshuiyinyang, my floor area too. Anyway, it is what it is.... Just called Master Zhang. He asked me whether it is for HDB or private. Told him private and 3 rooms 1498sq ft and he quoted $888. For additonal room eg. 4 rooms it is extra $100 which is resonable.

Yes someone pls email him too to clarify what I've said is true. Otherwise I can forward my email from him to you too to justify my statement

Hi Kcwee, I am very upset already reading this. Why is there such a huge diff in pricing? I have his email as proof of his quote to me.

Hi Mashi Mashi and IVY Thank you both so much for your help. Received. Thanks England, I must agree that it is worth it to pay more for good quality audit and commercial charges are higher from $1600 and above. However I see his charge as very commercial too, not far off from 1600. Also I cant justify a 4hours or weekend only 2hrs job for $1,385(a normal admin staff's one months salary?) .... and there is no reaudit after renovations. Also dont we have to do the FS audit once every year! In my own opinion, I do not or will not paid for this amount unless I am totally sure that it will work for me. Maybe you would say I cant compare it this way which is true but it is still too costly..... He should probably charge lower for 1st time, and if he is really good, am sure he will have alot of return customers who dont mind paying higher to engage him the year after year I just visited a Master in a temple today whom i just found out, sees Fengshui also. Unfortunately his timing is packed now. Need to wait till Apr or May before he is able to help me. His discipline warned me not to ask him about the charges. He said he is here to help people who are in need and dont like to mention about money. Disciple said Master told him that some people are already at the rock bottom of their life, thats why they need help,,. if not they won't come to u for help. So how much is the person's XIN YI. Also normally, these people already dont have much money and are in trouble, therefore by asking for a certain amount is not helping them. As a Master You want to try to help and see people rise and become successful. I respect him. And yes Honey gal, 1358 not 1388, is the charges for private apt below 1500sq ft but I am not sure for 500 sq ft. Check with him,maybe he is able to give u some discount? Good luck!

Yes Htng, thanks. I will try to hunt around..... hahahaha! and yes u r right.... we cant change that perception.... Well, come to think of it, even myself think of others the same way Big car/ Big house = Big pockets Small house/ small car = small pockets kekeke! so what can I say? Thats the reality of life

My Floor plan is ready. I need a FSM now. Anyone there knows another FSM as good as Mr.Chang who charges resonably? Please help. Thanks. Or can anyone please help to email me the list? Really appreciate. I am sure there are still some really good ones which charges reasonable price.

oh also ....... I know alot of HDB owners actually owns private properties as well.....so?? dont underestimate HDB owners . ;P

Thanks Htng for the verification. No, there is no increase for HDB, it is still $485. What I mentioned $1385 is for Private apt and condos, according to Mr. Chang. He said, "This has been standard for all previous condo/ terrace owners." Anyone to verify? Also he said, "Pls confirm you will want to go ahead before I try to help". Some thoughts: I didnt know why there is such a big diff in price for same area For your infor, ours is an old walk up apartment. Why does people always think anyone who lives in a Private property is richer? Dont you know that alot of all these private properties esp landed were bought by our grandparents long time ago and was passed down? During those times, house prices were peanuts? $50K and above for landed? Also dont you know some HDB now can cost much more than old private estate?

Hi gals mama, since u had received the list. Would you mind to forward me a copy? Think IVY is overwhelmed by the responses ;P my email sangiephua@hotmail.com. Thanks in advance! Need to engage one soon as floor plan is ready. thanks a million

Hi Mashi X2 thanks. would appreciate if you can email me sangiephua@hotmail.com. THanks But maybe he will charge higher for pte apt too? Well, as my husband dont believe in Fengshui. I have to fork out the fees myself to do it. Thats why, I have a budget

Mr. Chang replied. He said the fee applies to all private apts.

Hi all, Just got a reply from FSM Mr. Chang. I am so shocked. His charges was not as you guys mentioned here, $485? My area is below 1500sq ft and he is quoting me $1385? Very sad. What should I do now?

Dear IVY, I would appreciate if you could forward the list to me too. Thanks for your help. my email is sangiephua@hotmail.com sorry i dont know what is PM as I am new here. Thank you very much.

Mmm...with regards to something happening.... i dont remember anything. It was after him that I started to believe in FS as things went well, even asked him to do my office. mmm...... maybe 6 years ago he was 60 plus? Ya maybe same guy but I dont know if he hangs around coffeeshop. I know that he always goes to causeway point. Oh I recommended him to my buddy who opens a pub at Duxton and he gave them 4 numbers. They dont belive and didnt buy and it came up very soon after.

Hi all, I am new here. Just got Mr. Chang's reply via email. Called and text him last year Dec but no reply. Tonight he replied promptly via email. Dear Ivy, appreciate that you can forward me your Good and Bad list too. my email sangiephua@hotmail.com thank you. May I know what is the meaning of PM used here and how to PM? Dear ernieliew75 may i have Master Wang contacts as well. Thanks. gals ma ma, I am not sure if the woodlands master u mentioned is my ex boyfriend's father. His surname is Yuan. He is 70 plus already. He told me people always call him something that ends with a SIU (cantonese meaning for uncle) but i cant remember. He is working alone. very detailed. Each time after he came, my father will strike 4D soon after. Myself, someone who never wins and buys 4D only once or twice a year, strike $500 plus TOTO on the 2nd buy. Why I think he is chun? After 1 consultation I skipped the next year then no lottery luck at all. Then ask him to come again, my father strike again. Even since then never strike again coz I broke off with his son and it was awkward to engaged him after that. He ever told me that chances of me with his son is only 50/50 percent. I will be the one who calls it off and it happened. but he is a very nice man.
