5. russia tower, russia (architects’ website)

topped with an observation deck over the city of moscow, russia tower will become the tallest building in europe when completed in 2012 and twice the height of the eiffel tower. construction has already started on this angular beast which was designed by foster & partners, also responsible for the gherkin and spaceport america, currently in development.

6. penang global city centre, malaysia (website)

following months of speculation and sturdy opposition, this humungous project is in the final stages of approval and apparently construction will start very soon. even so, due to the size of the plan it will take at least 15 years to complete. resembling a sci-fi city, the area will be crowned by 2 x 200m towers and completely transform the small island of penang.


7. gazprom headquarters, russia (architects’ website)

this gigantic, 300m tall glass flame of a building will house the gazprom headquarters in st. petersburg, dwarfing all structures in its vicinity. it will apparently change colour up to 10 times per day depending on the position of the sun. the building has already been nicknamed ‘corn on the cob’ by unhappy locals.

8. burj dubai, dubai (website)

this is the big one. when completed next year it will be the tallest man-made structure in the world and the tallest building by a long shot with a predicted height of 818m. note: currently the tallest building on earth, excluding an antenna, is taipei 101 in taiwan which stands at 509m. the photo below is the building’s current state: the skyscrapers below the burj dubai used to look tall.

Top 9 unique structures soon to be built

obviously, construction technologies are advancing extremely quickly. couple that with multi-billionnaires / deep-pocketed companies trying to outdo each other in the quest for the next standout design and you have a near-future filled with mile-high skyscrapers and buildings that no longer look like buildings.

below are 8 strange and unique structures which have either been approved or are in the final stages of approval. some have already been partially constructed.

1. aqua, usa (website)

from a distance this skyscraper, to be completed in 2009 in chicago, will seem quite traditional. it’ll only be when you get close and look up that you can appreciate the ripple/jelly effect created by variously sized balconies from top to bottom.

2. chicago spire, usa (website)



the phenomenal chicago spire, when completed in 2010, will be the world’s tallest residential building and the tallest building of any kind in the western world. seemingly modelled on the image of a giant drill poking through the ground, the 609m structure will dominate the chicago skyline.

3. cctv headquarters, china (website)

at a modest 234m the cctv building isn’t going to stand out from a distance. however the design and shape is a crowdstopper to say the least and will be another incredible addition to beijing’s skyline in time for the 2008 olympics. the shape, described as a ‘z criss-cross’ results in a very high, seemingly unsupported corner at the front. let’s hope there’s a glass floor up there.

4. regatta hotel, jakarta (website)

taking on a nautical theme, the developers say the 10 smaller towers represent sailing boats whilst the larger building is ‘the lighthouse’. it’s the lighthouse that steals the show for me, possibly the most incredible looking structure i’ve seen for a long time. if it ends up looking anything close to these pictures i’ll be impressed.

Fakta atau Auta

1. Tahukah anda apabila 350ml air yang diambil dari sinki dan kemudiannya dituangkan ke dalam cerek yang mengandungi 150ml air suling dan dibiarkan terdedah kepada nyalaan api bersuhu 100 darjah celcius akan menghasilkan satu cecair yang dinamakan air masak.

2. Percayakah anda yang air sirap merupakan salah satu bahan asas dalam pembinaan sebuah helikopter.

3. Sebuah kereta yang dipandu selaju 220 km/j tidak akan dapat memotong kereta yang dipandu selaju 40 km/j sekiranya kereta-kereta tersebut dipandu dari arah yang bertentangan

9. Tahukah Anda burung dapat pulang ke sarangnya walaupun telah keluar kadangkala hingga beribu kilometer daripada sarangnya tanpa sesat atau silap walaupun tanpa bantuan kompas. Ini kerana setiap sarang burung mempunyai alamatnya yang tersendiri
sebenarnya.

10. Tahukah Anda bunyi perkataan lempeng dan tempeleng adalah hampir sama walaupun ia berbeza dari segi rupa bentuknya. Tapi, walaubagaimanapun orang yang kena tempeleng masih boleh memakan lempeng apabila dia berasa lapar.

11. Tahukah Anda gunung berapi yang berusia tiga ratus tahun disahkan masih aktif untuk meletup. Tapi mengikut kajian ahli gunung, api elektrik di rumah kita tidak akan aktif jika tidak membayar bilnya selama tiga bulan.

12. Tahukah Anda orang yang tidak pernah kisah langsung tentang wang ringgit, pangkat, kedudukan dan harta dunia ialah Orang Utan.

13. Tahukah Saudara ABDUL-RAHIM yang ahli sains seluruh dunia bersepakat jika KFC dimakan sewaktu lapar, perut kita akan mengalami satu tindakbalas yang berupa kekenyangan. KFC juga boleh digunakan sebagai ubat untuk menggembirakan hati kita bila KFC yang dimakan itu dibelanja oleh kawan kita.

Kisah seorang ayah yg melindungi anaknyer dari tembakkan askar israel. tempat kejadian berlaku di netzarim, semenanjung gaza. bawah nie 3 gamba yg telah dirakam oleh reporter france

aku tgk balik gamba nie sebak aku ape yg telah berlaku pada dunia sekarang nie. bawah nie lagu dari m nasir untuk kejadian ini

untuk futher pembacaan boleh pi kat sini

M nasir - masirah

Suara duka angin Gazza
Gegar jantung bumi kita
Nyawa anak di hujung senjata
Tangisan bonda hanya sia-sia

Masirah anak al-durrah
Netzarim bermandi darah
Begitu megah mata memandang dusta
Masirah dalam amarah
Hilang kalam kebenaran
Kudrat alam hanya menjadi rebutan

Berbaris-barislah ke satu arah
Jangan sampai berpisah menyusun langkah
Mencari-cari erti kedamaian
Di dalam jiwa tersirat jawapan

Masirah anak al-durrah
Netzarim lambang perjuangan
Kita menanti tangan pembelaan

Masirah dalam amarah
Hilang kalam kebenaran
Kudrat alam hanya menjadi rebutan

Masirah anak al-durrah
Netzarim lambang perjuangan
Kita menanti (kita menanti) tangan pembelaan
Masih menanti tangan pembelaan

Dear IT Support

Last year I upgraded from Boyfriend5.0 to
Husband 1.0 and noticed a slow down in
the overall performance,particularly in the flower, gifts and
jewellery applications that hadoperated flawlessly
under Boyfriend5.0

In addition, Husband 1.0 un-installed
many other valuable programs, such as Romance 9.5
and Personal Attention 6.5, butinstalled undesirable programs such as
Formula One 5.0,NBA 3.0 and World Cup 2.0.

And now Conversation 8.0 no longer
runs and HouseCleaning 2.6 simply crashes the
system. I've tried running Nagging 5.3
to fix these problems, but to no avail.

What can I do?

Signed,
Desperate Housewife

Reply:

Dear Desperate Housewife,

First keep in mind:
Boy friend 5.0 is an entertainment
package,while Husband 1.0 is an
operating system.

Try entering the command C:\ I THOUGHTYOU LOVED ME
and download Tears 6.2 to install
Guilt 3.0.

If all works as designed, Husband 1.0
should then automatically run the applications
Jewellery 2.0 and Flowers 3.5.

But remember, overuse can cause
Husband 1.0 to default to Grumpy Silence 2.5,
HappyHour 7.0 orLate Night Teh Tarik 6.1.

Late Night 6.1 is a very bad program
that will create SnoringLoudly.wav files.

Whatever you do, DO NOT install
Mother-in-Law 1.0
or reinstall another Boyfriend program.
These are not supported applicationsand
will crash Husband 1.0.

In summary, Husband 1.0 is a great
program,but it does have a limited memory and
cannot learn new applications quickly.

You might consider additional software
to improve memory and performance.
I personally recommend Hot Tasty Food 3.0 and Tongkat Ali 6.9.

Good Luck,
IT Support
