everything AND the kitchen sink

in the new flat, provision for the kitchen sink (ie the pipes etc) is made opposite the kitchen entrance, near a 2 panelled window. i thot it better to create the stove there so that when i cook (and i say WHEN i cook) the fumes will float out the window and not linger in the kitchen. in doing so, i'd relocate my sink perpendicular to the stove, for easy access. i thot what a splendid idea until i learnt that a stove directly facing the kitchen door can cause bad health. like we need that in our life!

i'm not a feng shui freak but i'm also not about to refute this ancient chinese system of aesthetics that has worked well for eons. i'm all for the flow of good ch'i. nothing wrong with being pre cautious, i am asian after all.

anyways, i've also learnt that the windowed outlook is positive for ch'i and conducive to happiness, especially if the window overlooks water!

so guess where i'm moving that sink! right next to the window, right where it was originally intended.
