Civil Engineering Feats2
Came across some photos of highways in Japan. Here. "Photographer Ken Ohyama (Oyama) opens our eyes to the under appreciated architecture and engineering feats of today’s modern highway interchanges.
Although they are a complex series of roads when looked from afar and breathtakingly powerful when viewed up close, we often ignore these modern mysteries of marvel as part of the back ground in our fast paced lifestyles."

The one I like is shown here..probably not one of those you like to be lost in.

Multi Purpose Sign Post
When I went to Penang a couple of months ago I saw an ASTRO dish attached to a sign post by the road side.
Recently we also came across this sign post which was used for various purposes.
The "BERHENTI" sign (or STOP sign) has been used to stick advertisments.
Then it's also used to secure sugar canes belonging to a trader who sells sugar cane juice at the junction.

Do you know the Great Wall of China spans some 3,500 km across China and was created over a period of 1,800 years from the 3rd Century BC?
Look at the wall section of the Great Wall of China. It’s amazing!

The Human Brain
I receive this interesting email clip about the human brain........
If something‘s rotating – go home, you need a break!
Take a look at the picture? What do you see?
Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.
Concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a while you will notice that this moving purple dot will turn green!
Look at the cross a bit longer and you‘ll notice that all dots except the green one will disappear.
* Follow the instruction below.
The human brain tricks us whenever it can!

Research has shown that young children cannot identify the intimate couple because they do not have prior memory associated with such a scenario.Children see nine dolphins.
This is a test to determine if you already have a corrupted mind. If it is hard for you to find the dolphins within six seconds, your mind is indeed corrupted.
Want to confuse your eyes and brain a bit? Yes? Then you might want to have a look at the following pics ..
Concentrate on the cross in the middle, after a while you will notice that this moving purple dot will turn green!
Look at the cross a bit longer and you‘ll notice that all dots except the green one will disappear.
* Follow the instruction below. * 1) Stare at the 4 little dots on the middle of the picture for 30 seconds
* 2) then look at a wall near you
* 3) a bright spot will appear
* 4) twinkle a few times and you‘ll see a figure
* 5) What do you see? Or even WHO do you see?

The Window
Reading a post from one of my learned frens (here) about her recent laundry experience reminded me of a power point clip sent to me by one the secretaries in my office.......
A young couple moves into a new neighborhood
The next morning, while they are eating breakfast, the young woman sees her neighbor hang the wash outside.
The laundry is not very clean, she said, she doesn’t know how to wash correctly.
Perhaps she needs better laundry soap.
Her husband looks on, but remained silent.
Every time her neighbor would hang her wash to dry, the young woman would make the same comments.
About one month later, the woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband, “Look! She has learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this.”
The husband said, “ I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows.”
And so it is with life:
What we see when watching others, depends on the purity of the window through which we look.
Before we give any criticism, it might be a good idea to check our state of mind and ask ourselves if we are ready to see the good rather than to be looking for something in the person we are about to judge.
And oh yes! I almost forgot…… I see you today much clearer than I did yesterday… And you?
