| NUMEROLOGY & CAREER SUCCESS |
| Contents:
1. Some Upscale Condos described.

Case study:
Does numerology make you successful in your career and in your life?
|
Unit's number totaling 3, 5 and
7 are the best for the career of this believer of numerology. JC Draycott's #11-03 was all right. So was The Riverside View condo. The problem was that Paterson Edge's landlords usually did not want a one-year lease as they know their apartments were extremely lettable. This case was going to be a headache for the Asia USA Realtor, trying to find a one-year lease from an apartment with the right numbers. The apartment must be new, in Orchard Road and the Landlord must provide furniture of Tenant's choice, maid's services to clean and iron, all for $6,000. Would a rental realtor who practise numerology ever succeed in life since he would be restricted in recommending only good numbers to clients for rent and that would cut off more than 50% of the condos available in Singapore? The expat had good reason to believe in house numerology because his predecessor rented a house with the wrong numbers and was "returned to the USA" before the completion of his term of contract in Singapore, due to poor performance. There was a Singaporean dog owner who consulted a veterinary surgeon because the practice's number 01-1477 was considered excellent in numerology. What do you think. readers? |
Singapore condos
|
The
Paterson Edge: A 5th floor apartment. 2-bedroom. Living area of light yellow
wooden strips. Open concept kitchen on right hand side and small dining area. Many Owners
use white vertical blinds as curtains. Sound-proofed windows eliminating most of the traffic noise. Located right next to Paterson Road but extremely popular with Caucasian expats as it is a 2-minute walk to the Orchard subway. Owners of 2-bedroom apartments are asking over $5,000 rent and 3-bedroom apartments want $6,500 rent. They can easily be rented owing to its great location. |
|
The
Paterson Edge: The stainless steel kitchen appliances with foreign branded
steel hob, hood, microwave oven. White oven. Open concept kitchen with high tech presentation never fail to impress the younger Caucasian and Japanese prospective tenants in the information technology industry. Such "high technology" stainless steel appliances and inbuilt refrigerators are uncommon in new condos. |

The
Paterson Edge: The roof top swimming pool of decent length to do laps. Marriott
hotel (pagoda roof) seen in background. Gym on right side. A small putting green further
