technically speaking.. gerry is right, leaks is innevitable at this stage of construction.. the building is not yet totally sealed.. but its kinda good, at least nature already perform a natural leak test.. so if there are some problem areas, engineers can act on it... but im worried about the pipes that exploded internally.. are these rain water drainage pipes? if it is, well the design is wrong...

about the pearl, the most important thing to ask..is... would the pearl be there above sea level after 5-10 years? had the designers, marine surveyors, engineers, geologists considered the effect of the sea current on this reclaimed area? would it not be "eaten" by the sea after sometime?

life is not a destination, it always had been & always will be a journey.....
