In addition to his load bearing tongue and groove blocks and his pre-stressed slabs, now he has an interesting new product - fairfaced cement bricks that have the same tongue and grooves.
These bricks are smaller lighter than the blocks, and much easier to work with. They also include special blocks that have voids for services that run horizontally and vertically.
These blocks are ideal for anyone who wants to build their own brick fencing. Chou tells me that they are non load-bearing, but still you could put in steel reinforced concrete in the voids, and they can also be combined with the thicker and stouter blocks.
All that's needed now is a someone prettier than Chou to lay the bricks.

Architect vs "Feng Shui Master"
“I won’t believe in feng shui any more after what had happened”, says an architect afflicted with particularly negative elements! This story is yesterday's The Star:
Luck runs out for architect
By YAZREEN HARON
KUALA LUMPUR: He was looking at feng shui to change his luck but the reversal of fortune not only left him RM29,260 poorer but without a girlfriend as well.
When the 36-year-old architect, known only as Ong, bought a house at Lakefield, Sungai Besi, his girlfriend recommended that he consult her feng shui master.
Ong went along with her wishes and soon met the feng shui master who told him that he had a spell of bad luck. The “master” promised to turn his luck around for a fee.
Ong promptly issued a cheque for RM29,260 to cover the feng shui expenses of the “master” who claimed that his services were sought worldwide.
After conducting some rituals at Ong’s new house at 10pm, the “master” told him not to speak of the session to anyone and not to sell the house for the next three years.
The “master” later demanded RM15,000 for an amulet to “protect” Ong and his girlfriend.
But before even receiving the amulet, Ong’s girlfriend told him that it was broken and RM30,000 was needed to replace it.
Feeling suspicious and believing that he had been cheated by the “master” and his girlfriend, Ong refused to pay and soon separated from his girlfriend of five years.
“I won’t believe in feng shui any more after what had happened,” Ong told a press conference organised by MCA Public Services and Complaints Department head Datuk Michael Chong.
“The police will be looking into Ong’s case,” said Chong.
