On 23 Jun 2007, my blog stats revealed that 9178 (Nine thousand one hundred and seventy eight) pageviews to my blog on that very single day.

That is so ridiculous!

Nanyang Technological University in Singapore has unveiled their latest breakthrough for the construction industry here.

Question : How do you prevent walls from collapsing during an earthquake?
Answer : All you need are canvas strips then glued onto the wall. It's as simple as that.
Result : It'll save more lives.

“During an earthquake, the building will shake and sway. When it sways in one direction, one of the crosses will act in tension, and pull it towards the other direction. It’s a simple design. What we did is use canvas and glue, and stick it onto the brick wall.”Researchers find that the wall reinforced with canvas and glue can withstand twice as much shaking compared to other walls.That translates to more time to escape as well as less danger of injuries from falling bricks in the event of an earthquake.

It's just like, during hurricanes, we stick tapes onto our glass windows to prevent it from shattering. So, I believe that was how the whole idea came about.

Amazingly, it can withstand twice the impact and only affect 10% increase in the overall construction cost. This noble invention is simple, yet very pragmatic.

Don't have time to write much. It's still a mess here. Currently listening to some oldies of mine.

This rock ballad sure brings back some bitter sweet memories. Haiz! Especially on lonely nights like this. :'(

Thou, weekend is here but I'm still stuck with workloads! Sheez!

Still in the midst of reorganizing my blog stuff here and think there can never be a better time then now. Was gazzing thru my old record collections and I realised how time flies.

I share with you one of my favourite rock classic. Fond memories from the late 80s.

Sweet Child O' Mine - has been my ALL time favourite. Pure classic piece of modern rock music by now defunct group, Guns N Roses. My special tribute to the group members, Axl Rose - Slash - Izzy Stradlin - Duff McKagan - Steven Adler, for this classic hit.

Guns N Roses - Thank you for this great piece of music!

Enjoyzz!
