Tallest building in the world now in Dubai

It was in the weekend local paper that the tallest building in Dubai will be completed by 2008. Looks magnificient but it is still a solo building and not a twin tower.
Sometimes, if we set aside mechanics, law of gravity and all that - why was not our proud KLCC was built as a single tower ? It could be 1 1/2 times (if 2 is impossible) than the current one and still below the buildng cost (as it is a single tower). Then it wont be too soon that another country built a taller building.
Its just my thought for what do I know on building construction :)

Asian Cup in KL

The Asian Cup has just ended hosted by Malaysia in KL. We got trashed by China 5-1 and Urbekhistan by 5-0. The last match with Iran was a 2-0. Even that I thought we were pitied and kept out of humilation.
The vice president of Malaysian football association had resigned. There is a public outcry on the resignation of other top ranking officials. On the other hand the coach is denying that he be held totally responsible for the defeats and asked his continutation of service.

Rain rain rain in the city

It is raining today just like yesterday. What I worry most when it rain like today or yesterday is that flood may occur in some parts of the city. Just a few hours of continuous rain can cause havoc, traffic jams and even damage to trapped vehicles.
Luckily the Light Transit System (LRT) is not affected.
The municipal has nearly completed constructing the SMART tunnel which purpose is to flow water out of the affected flooded areas. Alternately on dry days, it is utilised a highway tunnel. So far the tunnel as not met its purpose as flood still occurs during rainy weather.
