ok i know i'm gonna sound like some idiot.
But i dont understand about the isolators and the cake slicing part... so the cake is sliced vertically or horizontally across the whole cake?? and which building is the cake? the one with the statue in front or the one below? heez... and uh.. so they used cranes or machineries to lift up the whole building to install the isolators? aiya too bad you didn't zoom in on the joints (if any).
OiNK! was from E9 Welfare Group but was kicked out after ganna arrowed to be KS manager.... Still, this blog space is hijacked to showcase her journeys in NZ..... or simply to show she's well and alive!
