maybe you can make a sketch of what you want and show it here.
if i am not mistaken, you want the water to slowly flow down the wall is it into a pond? i have seen one at desa park city show house where at the court yard they have this wall on one side with water slowing coming down. The height is from the highest floor (2.5 storey I think) to the ground floor below. QUite impressive 
I have a video of it somewhere |

ya, ya, ya, you are right!
But not the full 2 floor height as in Desa Park city, i want 10 ft high nia, easier for future maintenance. I'm the one to maintain it, not my minister, not my maid, so better make it easier.

i honestly think those contractors' price is cut-throat wan.
Material used are non-high tech and widely available, a skilled indonesian wages is ard RM 150/day, after u calculate all the cost with very generous allowance, it just can't be over RM 10k.
My minister would rather happier if i buy a the latest teka steam oven or a electrolux 4 doors fidge or a 42" plasma for the dry kitchen, at least these things have some advanced technology involved.  |

Yeah, tell me about it. Mine cost me RM25k. Comprises of a 5 ft wall with water curtain and koi pond (complete with filteration and material). My calculation of the costing is far below RM10k. Hence, if you are seriously into it, plan it out on your own using the various forums online and get indon labour. You would be fully in charge and do not need to entertain the whims and fancies of fxxked-up contractors.
