That Complicated? Don't Hate

2010-05-02T06:32:00.001-07:00

HAHA

When it just seems like things are going smooth and everything, I met this guy friend this morning and he straight away asked me, "Bro, amacam... awek paka sihat?". I replied "Do you have a girlfriend?" OOpps that might be too harsh n personal for a 'lonely guy'. Then again it's funny he is a super lonely guy, but that's not a reason for you to hate him LOL. The silence wasn't long though as I changed topic just to keep the ball rolling. But still revolving around issue "Woman?".

{silent phase part II} no comment...

"But hey, we have some beautiful woman engineers here in PAKA rite?" I said that just to comfort him. But then I explained to him the ugly truth about woman engineers and why I don't date them:

That yellow jumpsuit is their 'formal dress' until 7:00 PM. McD & Burger King is their seven-course meal. And they keep on whining about dieting, yet again. Sometimes I wish I can date them in their coverall as they look better in it compared to their 'informal dress' ... oucch~
The only social life known of is to post and talk on the phone and on the net (FB especially). And life usually ends at 10:30 PM.
Flames like a monster and speaks like a MONSTER. Jokes won't work either
Works from 6:30am to 7:30pm daily. No morning chats & evening walks.
No matter how bad you want her, she just sits there calmly discussing your emotion in terms of mathematical logic & reasoning. She will also mention how bad she wants you while reading McGraw-Hill Thermodynamic textbook... boringgg~
Only listens to modern electronic voice songs to reflect the uptodate-ness and appreciating new technologies . Sometimes going old skool is really not that bad you know. I like Billy Joel's
Talk about daily, monthly, and yearly planning more often than about you (I bet some of u guys hv experienced this quite alot). Being guys, we dun really care about it most of the times, but sometimes well... hearing something about us would be nice =)
Talks in acronyms and 'shorthand's. Ooooh dammmn!! (or she might just say 'O D.M.N')
Can't leave that damn pencil off her right hand and phone off her left hand for a minute.
The best date place she's ever suggested is ... starbucks (coz WIFI is there and it's free)

So boring n so hard to understand them yet they are so 'high-tech' and 'rare'. That's why guys still go for them.

Too rare huh. What happens if you break it? it will be hard for you too find the 'spareparts' etc. Later, it might be beyond repair.

(100 woman engineers are reading this)

Swooooshh..(wind sound) ~ THERE GOES MY CHANCE TO DATE WOMAN ENGINEERS sob sob LOL

Jangan marah gadis2 semua. Just for the sake of writing only. Dun get mad, or else you really do fall under category 3 that i mentioned above. Want me to fix you?

Jika Anda... Bermain Muzik

2010-04-28T08:04:00.000-07:00

Jika Anda... Bermain musika...

Kehidupan di Paka sangat tenang. Malah terlebih tenang seperti seekor dugong. Semenjak kebelakangan ni rasanya otak macam wank sikit, keupayaan berfikir menjadi semakin perlahan, otak semakin kurang kreatif, dan selalu penat. Walau bagaimana pun keupayaan makan masih mantap~

Tiba-tiba teringat kata-kata steve carell dalam movie 40 yr old virgin, "If you don't use it, you will lose it?", BUT he's referring to other thing though. Macam engine kereta, lama sangat tak pakai memang susah nak start engine. Sebab itu engine maintenance is a must.

Untuk otak pulak membaca (nodding) + muzik (huh?) is the maintenance. Yes sir, MUSIC.

Disebabkan saya sangat malas membaca, kalau baca pon baca comic or engineering stuffs yang akan menyebabkan otak semakin penat, maka mendengar muzik adalah pilihan tepat. Memang berbaloi-baloi. Menurut kajian daripada beberapa researchers gila di University of Wisconsin, mereka yang mendengar Mozart's telah meng-improve-kan mathematical reasoning mereka. Malah, tikus pon dapat keluar dari maze dengan lebih cepat setelah mendengar Mozart's (walaupun mungkin kebetulan jer masa tu).

Tapi jangan dengar sahaja, GET INTO IT!!! Bermain alat muzik seperti guitar, piano, violin, bongo? etc boleh menajamkan lagi daya pemikiran seseorang. Ketepatan jari, penelitian note, ketajaman pendengaran, kesemuanya boleh menyumbang kepada perkembangan daya pemikiran termasuk mengekalkan memori. Tapi kepada adik2 yng masih belajar, banyak sangat main muzik tp tak buat homework pon tak elok jugak kerana ia boleh menyumbang kepada penguncupan daya pemikiran (itu hasil research saya sendiri lah~, paper belom tulis lagi tapi) .

Relaxation~ itu yang kebanyakan orang cari melalui mendengar atau bermain muzik. Sebagai seorang super penggemar music yang telah mendengar jutaan lagu dari ratusan genre (dari black metal sampai ke Nasyid lah orang kata), saya beranggapan mendengar muzik bukan therapy yang kekal dan berpanjangan i.e not the best therapy, but it works.

Releksasi (perkataan baru) sebenar bagi saya ialah apabila kita melagu atau mendendangkan ayat2 suci Al-Quran atau mengagungkan nama-nama Allah kerana di situlah fitrah hati manusia yang sebenar. Tiada satu pon lagu di dunia ini yang dapat menenangkan hati seorang-yang-resah-dan-gelisah-sambil-berseorangan-di-bilik-semasa-keluarga-dan-rakan-tiada-disisi melainkan irama atau alunan ayatul Quran yang dilafazkan dari bibir sendiri *Berdasarkan kajian saya sendiri ke atas 3-4 orang lelaki dan dua orang rakan wanita yang nama mereka tidak perlulah di sebut. Maka banyakkan lah baca Quran, berzikir dan sebagainya. Indeed, it is the best heart/brain therapy.

Berbalik kepada cerita otak. Saya belajar bermain alat muzik dari percussion-drum-bass guitar dan yang terbaru acoustic guitar. Rasanya macam tak ada bakat sebab jari gemuk sangat susah nak main guitar. Tapi, even Bob KU2 pon power main guitar, so jari besar bukan lah excuse. Usaha tangga kejayaan. OK, just learned Situasi by Bunkface yesterday nite, let me perfect it so that you all can sing it along with me later on hahah =). Rock on!!!

*Tapi kalau teruk sangat xder bakat, I'ma sell that Rm400 ringgit epiphone guitar dekat Mudah hehe jk

So lesson learnt? Try new things in life to bring something different to your world. Don't let the world shapes you, Let you shape the world.

Salaam,

Wow it's been a 'very' while. It's not like I was too busy or something, it's just that I got nothing to write!!! Guess living in Paka has slowed me down a lil bit. Used to be a super hyper active guy, but now.... super hyper lazy guy. Dammn bored!!!

Enough of this paka stuff, hey I'm just so excited after watching Game 4 of NBA playoff between Phoenix Suns vs Portland TrailBlazers. Suns lost though but it was a close one. Led by the magician himself, Steve Nash, the Suns lost their 4th game (still) in a hard way after unexpected return of Brandon Roy sparks a blazing 31 pts over the Suns.

Game ties up at 2-2. And it all comes down to Game 5, the must-win game. Suns need to win game 5 with dominating fashion or else they won't make it in game 6. It's all psychological game here. But in ball game, even a magician can be tricked!!!

Lay up... right hand + right leg. Isn't that unorthodox???

Have faith, GO SUNS!!!!

G A M B ANG R E S O R T

2009-10-20T05:53:00.000-07:00

Hey guys,

Last week I went to an oasis-like Gambang Resort celebrating PASB family day. Memang best. Mula-mula kena pergi ke sekolah kanak2 OKU in Kemaman di mana mengecat menjadi tugas utama kami di samping menjaga adik2 OKU ni mewarna. Memang fun ar plus diorang memang hebat color. Yang makan pencil color pun ade gak. On the other hand, my painting part, I have no comment sebab agak mengecawakan sebenarnya. Tangan biasa pegang spanar, mana reti pegang2 berus ni. Pegang berus gigi atau berus tandas hebat ar. Anyway we managed to finish it nonetheless with engineering aspect included e.g dry thickness = 50 micron, wet thickness = 100 micron haha.

the kid at the back was tired just by looking at us. Now you realize how tough our painting job was that day huh =)

Rite after that, the treasure hunt began. Yeah I know u'd say that, I was so damn excited. Belom habis announce dah gerak. First, kener susun gambar2 yang macam puzzle accordingly plus kener teka gambar ape tu. Ade ker die suruh teka gamba perut Kangaroo Mascot Tunas Manja Kemaman??? Nasib baik teka dengan betul .. yezzza! And then kene berenti di Sanctuary Penyu Cherating untuk solvekan soalan2 penyu yang banyak di tanya dalam soalan2 yang banyak tue. Nasib baik tak tanya berapa banyak telur yang menetas di Malaysia? Itu confirm orang kat Sanctuary Penyu tu pun x dapat jawab.

Sedang cuba meneka jantina penyu ini...

And after solat Jumaat. Now the best part, happened at Kelab Kebudayaan Cherating. 'Menconteng' batik??? Mengayam tikar??? Seriously it was hard especially mengayam tikar. Mak cik tu ajar laju gila, ikhlas ke tak nie? Namun perkara yang mustahil menjadi tidak mustahil apabila group kitorang berjaya menghabiskan kedua-duanya. Comment ar sket hasil kerja tangan orang2 berseni nie...

Kemahiran tangan yang teserlah... inilah bakat terpendam orang kata

With the theme: 3T (Tribute to Turtle)

but experience kat Gambang is beyond words can describe. Tele-match yang kitorang main mmg lawak. Skiing Makcik is my personal fav. Kena pakai scarf, kain sarong, paris-hilton-like sunglasses, neck scarf and handbag sambil skiing. TERBAIK ARR! tapi ade trick dalam telematch nie, siapa yang paling pandai tipu menang. Since kitorang suma group warga2 soleh dan beriman, mana laa pandai tipu2 nie... jawabnya mmg takkan jadi juara ar. Takpe, atleast kurang menipu, kurang dosa sket LOL

Other than bermandi manda at the water park, malam penutupan itu was the best. Bertemakan "Hawaiian Nite". Nasib meja bujang mmg bertuah, all of us menang hadiah cabutan bertuah, ... thumbdrive, water heater, hamper (got wine in it lah pulak), G-shock watches, n gas voucher bernilai RM 50. Nice

Red Team... loser!

Husain, our skiing Mak Cik

It feels good to be a winner

At least, it wasn't a boring weekend.

Aish baru2 ni ade pegi Pfce raya punya open house. There were literally thousands of people. Tak sure diorang jemput semua warga petronas kat kerteh atau tak. Anyway I met Mohan si machinist yang sangat pakar (I thought I know how to use vernier caliper, micrometer and what not until I met this guy who's been using all these measuring tools for more than 30 years. His measuring skill undoubtedly... the best ar. Orang kata, bukan saya kata, orang kata ader style la dia ukur bender2 aper pun. *Recap* BENDA2 aper sekalipun!!! LOL.

Hey you dirty minds, I'm talking about machining stuff here. Anyway... talking about kancil. Dah la kereta banyak so susah la nk cari parking. Malangnya ade sebuah keter kancil parked kat tengah2 meaning dier ambik 2 parking spaces. Ini sudah bikin ana MARAH.... tapi ana bersabar sahaja ketika itu menahan nafsu di dada.

Lalu boss saya berteka-tekuk, "Danny aku ada teka-teki, ko rasa bilakah Kancil berubah jadi B@B!?" LOL. Very well said.

How Bad is Bad

2009-09-12T06:03:00.000-07:00

I've been studying the effects of bad oil against rotating machinery, to be specific on this particular gearbox which operates 24 hrs with input speed of 1500 rpm and gear ratio of 18. I've been looking closely at this machine for almost 6 month now and I have to say, it psychs me every time I think about it. It started off when I found a chipped or a better a way to say it, a spalled gear tooth.

Off course it didn't look right. In no time oil quality issues came right up in my mind as I found lotsa pitting points on other teeth as well. Bad oil will surely contribute to this kinda problem but why oil turns bad? It's only been a year and why is it that bad? When I asked the OEM (in my case is SUMITOMO, damn japanese, can you please design a more reliable gearbox?) they said, "Just follow the manual" and thank god their english are good, I could understand 'em clearly but that didn't help at all man!!!

It has to be the oil, it has to be the oil... I said to myself again & again. Micropitting can be caused by a too-thin oil film i.e a higher viscosity oil is needed and/or oil is badly contaminated. I forgot to mention, the oil foamed badly when we opened up the gearbox which suggests i) air entered the gearbox from loose piping or broken seal ii) too much detergent effect: detergent cleans the formation of debris from combustion at the gear teeth, which later suggests a more thicker oil is needed & iii) contamination.

So, I guess it's time for oil analysis now. We sent 3 sampels which two of them are the used oil (1 year old, used oil) and the other one is a fresh-from-an-unopen-barrel oil for base reading. SUPrisingly, the new oil is as bad the used oil!!! I mean contamination wise! TAN is slightly high than the used one but you have to remember Acid Number curve againts time is bath tub shape meaning it starts off high, goes down and goes back up again. So TAN is not the issue here. Hmmm Petronas didn't do a good job when blending this oil. So I came up with an idea or better yet a program which we'll only accept oil with cleanliness cert i.e QA/QC cert to ensure the new oil is fresh! One day will be implemented.

Now, WAY FORWARD?? Now we change the oil once in every two month and using a fully synthetic oil which posses a better Vicosity Index compared to Mineral Oil. It's expensive but worth every penny. So whenever you find spalling teeth, act quickly as the gearbox will fail in no time. It might be months, weeks... ummm maybe days. Stay sharp guys, eyes on the oil!!!

Just wanted to share; knowledge is power

MSDS of Women

2009-08-03T08:16:00.000-07:00

First of all, what the hell is MSDS? Well, Material Safety Data Sheet or MSDS is pretty much a guidance/facts sheet or I'd rather say more like a properties form where you can find all the basic properties of a material i.e boiling, flash, pour, viscosity index, toxicity, and even the "hazardousity" of that particular material. *Sometimes they refer to to Chemical Safety Data Sheet (CSDS) for basic properties of a chemical. Something that I would use in my daily job. I usually refer to MSDS or CDSD before using that material/chemical to avoid problem in the long run. It can cause you your life man if you just use a thing without knowing about it.

Anyway, due to high demand from my Get2knowledge's blog groupies & addicts (Wow do they really exist? I believe they do you skeptics!! I BELIEVE... I said it with my head nodding), so once again I'll share my engineering knowledge about women with you guys!!!

THE MSDS of Women

But apparently, the CSDS of Women is different depending on whether it's an organic compound or non-organic compound. However, this MSDS is good enough to guide you whenever you're using 'it', doesn't matter organic or non-organic alike.

Remember learn about woman MSDS before meeting her, and perhaps if you want to get to know more about her, ask for her CSDS. And I'm pretty sure it's either she gets hooked up or you get hooked by her right-handed-slam!! Ouucchhh..~

Hope this helps =)

Aduhh sakitnya. Got admitted to hospital balik semalam. But this time it's not bcoz of that knee problem, it's kidney stone lah pulak. Memang sakit, sekarang pun tengah sakit nak tulis pon susah nie. Ya Allah perit nya ujian yang diberi...

Umme-Salamah Radiyallahu 'anha, the wife of Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, narrated: I heard Rasulullah Sallallahu 'alaihi wasallam saying "Never a slave of Allah, afflicted with a calamity, who says (the following words), except that Allah will grant him for his calamity better than that"

"Inna lillahi wa inna ilaihi raji'oon. Allahumma'jurni fi musibati wa akhlif li khairam-minha"

Verily unto Allah we belong, and unto Him shall we return. O Allah! Reward me in my calamity, and grant me from it something better than that.

Accidentally in the Hospital?

2009-07-19T23:18:00.001-07:00

Kuala Lumpur: *sigh* Sudah seminggu nampaknya duduk rumah akibat accident di Temerloh yang berlaku kira-kira seminggu yang lepas. Accident itu nampaknya sangat ganas sehingga menyebabkan leher terkehel, kaki bengkak, dan menyebabkan lutut kiri di operate akibat acl. Sekarang hari-hari kene buat theraphy dan setiap kali buat, kejutan electric tahap rendah akan diberikan di lutut kiri nie. "ADUUHHHHHeey!!!" itu lah suara mantap yng dikeluarkan oleh saya everytime buat electric theraphy. Memang sakit la, rasa cam kener siat kulit... and dayymn, it hurts so bad. Do that for 15 minutes everyday, enough to make my skin rotting haha.

Alhamdulillah ALLAH masih memanjangkan usia saya. Sebelum ini saya tak pernah berfikir sangat pasal hidup dan mati nie, tetapi selepas kejadian tue... SubhanAllah barulah saya perasan betapa banyaknya rezeki yg Allah masih beri kepada saya, tubuh badan masih lengkap, mata masih nampak, dan mulut masih boleh berkata2. Seharian saya habiskan dengan termenung mengenangkan nasib baik saya ini.

"Ya Allah, Hidupkanlah aku dengan Iman serta dilimpahi rezeki & rahmat, Ya Allah, Matikanlah aku dengan Iman dan dengan pengakhiran yang baik, Ya Allah Masukkanlah aku kedalam syurga dengan Iman besama-sama para solehien yang lain" Ameen

Fooh, bila la agak nye nk masuk keje balik nie. Tetiba rasa cam seorang workaholic haha. Sebenarnya rasa kesunyian duk umah nie plus x boleh berjalan, kaki boleh bend for 15 deg jer... hmmm (melepaskan perasaan seperti seorang pompuan lah pulak hahah).

OK change topic sket,what do engineers think about women? (rasa cam jauh sangat topic changed nie). My boss taught me this and surprisingly during last assesment I got A+ :

But, recently when I was trimming my beard in front of a mirror in my bathroom, I discovered this on my own:

1) Woman = problems --> (1)
2) Solution + promblems = problemsolved --> (2)
3) According to ancient Chinese Book, Men = solution --> (3)

from eq (2): Solution + problems = problemsolved
subtitute eq (3) & (1) into eq (2)

:. Men + Woman = problemsolved /:

Conclusion is, if you hate "that" woman, marry her and problem solved!! LOL

I'm not a big fan of country music to begin with, but living in Nashville for 4 years kinda have like a butterfly-effect on me, til NOW. Well, I still listen to country songs once in a while to muse over all the good times that I had when I was in Nashville.

OK back to the main topic guys. I heard this song White Horse from Taylor Swift and I said, "hey, this is one good song from this young singer". I started downloading the whole album "Fearless" and now I can say, "Feel 'fearless' to country song"! The whole album sounds really great so worth my time downloading it.

And I'm surprised to hear that Colbie Caillate (not so sure how to spell her name) is in the album as well. The song "breathe" was written by Colbie & Taylor. Can you imagine how great the song is when that mellowish colbie-like rythm twanged by a modern country style? Better get the album and listen to it yourself. Dayymn, I miss Nashville.... LOL

Anyhow, great music from T-swizzle

2009-06-17T05:23:00.000-07:00

I came across this article in an "FW"ed email from my friend, Raja. It's written by Regina Brett, a 90-year-old woman of The Plain Dealer, Cleveland,Ohio

"To celebrate growing older, I once wrote the 45 lessons life taught me. It is the most-requested column I've ever written."

1. Life isn't fair, but it's still good.
2. When in doubt, just take the next small step.
3. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone.
4. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends & parents will. Stay in touch.
5. Pay off your credit cards every month.
6. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree.
7. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone.
8. *Skipped* religiously irrelevant
9. Save for retirement starting with your first paycheck.
10. When it comes to chocolate, resistance is futile.
11. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present.
12. It's OK to let your children see you cry.
13. Don't compare your life to others. You have no idea what their journey is all about.
14. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it.
15. Everything can change in the blink of an eye. But don't worry; God never blinks.
16. Take a deep breath. It calms the mind.
17. Get rid of anything that isn't useful, beautiful or joyful.
18. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger.
19. It's never too late to have a happy childhood.
But the second one is up to you and no one else.
20. When it comes to going after what you love in life, don't take no for an answer.
21. Burn the candles, use the nice sheets. Don't save it for a special occasion. Today is special.
22. Over prepare, then go with the flow.
23. Be eccentric now. Don't wait for old age to wear purple.
24. The most important sex organ is the brain.
25. No one is in charge of your happiness but you.
26. Frame every so-called disaster with these words ''In five years, will this matter?".
27. Always choose life.
28. Forgive everyone everything.
29. What other people think of you is none of your business.
30. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time.
31. However good or bad a situation is, it will change.
32. Don't take yourself so seriously. No one else does.
33. Believe in miracles.
34. *Skipped*
35. Don't audit life. Show up and make the most of it now.
36. Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
37. Your children get only one childhood.
38. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved.
39. Get outside every day. Miracles are waiting everywhere.
40. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else's,
we'd grab ours back.
41. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need.
42. The best is yet to come.
43. No matter how you feel, get up, dress up and show up.
44. Yield.
45. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift =)

How nice. She also relates some of the lessons with "friendship". Well, friends are important as "Friends are the family you choose for yourself". But are friends really friends? LOL hopefully

Wow growing older sure teaches us alot. Anyway, I remember asking a few times "How old are you?" to my technical coach, a 67 yo Filipino. But he always replied "Hmm, I forgot. I think 50, coz I stop counting my age when I was 49". Great!

Toyota MR-2 Spyder or so called MRS. A mid-engined, rear-drive, two-passenger sport car which everyone tries not to buy for the sake of their children. NO SEAT FOR THEM lar!!!

I'd say it's a very lite drive compared to other performance car i.e Imprezza & Evo, well it's not even a performance car, at least from my pov. Sorry Spyder owners! lol Nonetheless you can still feel that G-force when you're going 0-100 in about 7 secs, can be less though. That's good enough for me I guess. Wt some mods, perhaps with small TD04, a nice air intake, etc.. you'll get your 4-6 secs.

It's like a regular car btw. It's just that, I love sport car period. I'm planning to get another sport car one day... even after I got married, the passion never dies!!! *hopefully* hehe. I'm still learning about the car though, the engine, how to improve and so on. Still a long way to go.

Enough with the promotion. It's hard to describe it in words... give me a call, I'll be more than happy to take you for a ride in my little Spyder! Don't expect too much out of it, it's not a new car and having said that, I need to do some mods sooner or later, apearrance & performance-wise.

~ in 3 years it will be a bigger & better spyder InsyaAllah. I'll be 26 at that time and ready to make some "moves" =)

One thing i need to improve wt the car seriously.... I need a hard top pleeaaasseee...~

Oil whirl within Journal Bearings

2009-01-24T22:15:00.000-08:00

Oil whirl is probably the most common cause of subsynchronous instability in hydrodynamic journal bearings. Typically, the oil film itself flows around the journal to lubricate and cool the bearing. This develops an average speed slightly less than 50 percent of the journal surface speed (Figure 1).

Normally, the shaft rides on the crest of an oil pressure gradient, rising slightly up the side of the bearing somewhat off vertical at a given, stable attitude angle and eccentricity. The amount of rise depends on the rotor speed, rotor weight and oil pressure. With the shaft operating eccentrically relative to the bearing center, it draws the oil into a wedge to produce this pressurized load-carrying film.

Figure 1. Oil Film Within a Journal ¹

If the shaft receives a disturbing force such as a sudden surge or external shock, it can momentarily increase the eccentricity from its equilibrium position. When this occurs, additional oil is immediately pumped into the space vacated by the shaft. This results in an increased pressure of the load-carrying film, creating additional force between the oil film and shaft. In this case, the oil film can actually drive the shaft ahead of it in a forward circular motion and into a whirling path around the bearing within the bearing clearance. If there is sufficient damping within the system, the shaft can be returned to its normal position and stability. Otherwise, the shaft will continue in its whirling motion, which may become violent depending on several parameters.

- James E. Berry, Technical Associates of Charlotte, PC

Oil Whip Instability

Oil whip occurs on those machines subject to oil whirl when the oil whirl frequency coincides with and becomes locked into a system’s natural frequency (often a rotor balance or critical speed frequency). If we take an example, when the rotor speed increased to just above 9,200 RPM, its speed increased to 2X its first balance natural frequency. At this time the oil whirl which was approximately 43 percent of RPM, was brought into coincidence with this critical speed. The oil whirl was suddenly replaced by oil whip - a lateral forward precessional subharmonic vibration of the rotor. At this point, the oil whip frequency remains the same, independent of the rotor RPM. Note that the oil whip frequency never changed even though the machine continued up in speed to 12,000 RPM. When a shaft goes into oil whip, it's dominant dynamic factors become mass and stiffness in particular; and its amplitude is limited only by the bearing clearance. If it's not being corrected, oil whip may cause destructive vibration resulting catastrophic failure – often in a relatively short period of time.

So make sure:

check your bearings (i.e clearance etc)
oil specs, viscosity-wise and type
oil pressure and temperature
leakage
internal damping

A slight mistake will cause you thousands of dollars. Sometimes 30 seconds mistake will cost you 100k (if it involves compressors) and it will be your most expensive lesson ever. Common mistake is temperature, so watch your temp!!

MasyaAllah begitu cepat masa berlalu. Sudah hampir 3 bulan sudah saya bekerja di "perkampungan chemical" di Terengganu ini. Sukar untuk saya gambarkan perbezaan hidup sebagai pelajar dan hidup sebagai seorang perkerja makan gaji. Jurang yang besar memisahkan 2 kehidupan ini menyebabkan ada di kalangan rakan2 saya mengaku kalah gara-gara tidak dapat "cope" dgn perubahan ini.

"Fear of newness does trigger your stress. But stress is good, use it to optimize your performance rather than worrying about it" - chewah, words of wisdom nie ciptaan sendiri LOL

Saya pada mulanya agak ter-culture shock sikit bekerja dengan company melayu ni. Sehingga sekarang saya masih lagi menyesuaikan diri dgn suasana kerja lasak saya ni. Untuk pengetahuan semua, I'm working in a petchem plant where life can be 'shorten' just by hearing the should-wear-double-hearing-protection noise from the compressors and the sharp tangy-like smell of innocent looking ammonia. I'm a mechanical maintenance guy, more on rotating equipments though (i.e rotary engineer). The day I stepped my right foot into the ammonia plant, was the day they decided to shut down the plant. Teng-teng-teng (Action-like backround music starting to roar, pretty much like the medical checkup story) Meaning I got a hell lotsa works to do. But this is the best time to learn. Haha you'll never know how tough it was unless you work in a plant. Correction, not was but is. It is TOUGH! Yeah you rite there, thank you for asking, I mostly do work 7 days a week!

Tetapi saya masuk di Ammonia sebagai engineer, bukan sebagai pelajar praktikal. Maka my learning curve is spiking high way harder than the practical students because, I'm paid to do work and at the same to learn as well. It's not an easy job. I remember going to work a couple of weeks ago at 8 in the morning and I got back home 4.30 am the next day. Then I woke up at 8, went to work at 9 am the same day & got back at 2 am the next day. This is my life. Which is takde life LOL. I'm not working for the money (though it's partially true LOL), it's responsibility and you gots to finish what you have started.

"Bukan senang nak cari duit"

Now I know the meaning behind it. The more you get the more you will spend it and the more you want it. But don't get me wrong, I do spent my money on things that I like. If I don't then, there's no meaning risking my life everyday in the plant, I could die instantly here. Tapi berpada-padalah dalam spending tue lol.

"If not, then who's going to"

Kadang-kadang saya berfikir, kenapa saya memilih kerja ini sedangkan kerja di pejabat jauh lebih selesa, lebih macho (yer ker?), lebih selamat etc. ?? (Plus tinggal kat area sini memang bosan) and I can't find the answer for it. But one thing for sure, I like what I'm doing and believe me not everybody want's to do what I'm doing (I actually did ask the interviewer to put me in a plant though, and here I am LOL). It's risky, it's dirty, it's nasty (hyperbola lak ayat aku nie), and very challenging. I do this job because it's fun and if I don't do it, who is going to?

Guys, frens, & everybody, stay sharp & good luck in life!

*yeah I'll upload some pics later. Cool ones. Sangat busy at the moment (I can't believe myself writing this blogpost at cybercafe, sedey sungguh... rumah pun xde streamyx lagi, jauh kene gi Dungun cari TM point!!! bila masa nk pergi tue?? LOL)

When Tengkus Meet Niks

2008-10-13T01:27:00.000-07:00

I went to Che Nor's (my mom's cousin) open house last Saturday. It was more like a family gathering rather than a typical Raya open house. The food was great but I ain't ate that much though, except this one dessert called Lompat Tikam (Lopak Tike, as we Kelantanese call it).Never tried it before nor heard about it. That was my first time and it tasted so damn good. I sure will look for it next time I go to Pasar Malam but I don't think they sell Lopak Tike.

It was great to meet the relatives especially the long lost ones. I couldn't even recognize their faces, all have grown up! I was also surprised when Azhar who was my good friend when we were kids, also one of Che Nor's son, told me about our family tree of kerabat Long Gaffar. I didn't know we are the descendents of Faqih Ali, who was a Sheikhul Islam!! That's kinda cool! Also it was so hilarious that time, a girl(non-family) called his boyfriend by the name "Nik" and all the guys turned their heads. The guys got confused since all of us are "Niks" too, LOL.

Family & Relatives (including 2 Peminat Cilik)

Cousins, I have no comment on Anis's pose LOL

I met Anne from Hot FM

Overall it wasn't a boring Saturday.

Difference Between Love & Desire

2008-10-10T08:41:00.000-07:00

Salaam,

I am amazed at how great the movie Ayat-ayat Cinta is. I watched it on TV3 this evening and Alhamdulillah how greatful I was for getting the opportunity to be reminded of the sincerity and the purity of Islam, as Islam is perfectly portrayed in the movie. One might find it's just a typical love story but for me, it's more than a story of finding the love one. I always long for environment where Muslims maintain the pure ideals of Islam, and even though it's just a movie, an entertainment that "vagues" the line between fantasy and reality, it somehow cures my heart of missing the true environment of love in Islam.

The concept of relationship before and after marriage is discussed through out the movie. A suitable movie for you bachelors who are reading my blog right now. Yes YOU right there!!! That's not all, the solemn loyalty of Fahri (hero cerita nie la) and other carhacters (i.e Aisya) to the ideals of Islam actually inspires me to change!!! I'm well-versed that quite a few people said the same thing too.

One scene that stands out the most is the one when Maria said "Cinta itu berbeza dengan keinginan untuk memiliki". As a Mat Jiwang, I perfectly understood the meaning the moment she said that. ......C'mon it is a joke OK, only A JOKE!!! I'm not mat jiwang, I'm just a romantic person ... (isn't that the same thing?? LOL).

OK sambung kepada frasa sebentar tadi, "Cinta itu berbeza dengan keinginan untuk memiliki", bukan senang untuk mengahwini seseorang yang kita hanya pernah bertemu satu atau dua kali melainkan kerana kecintaan kita kepada Allah dalam menemukan dua hati atas satu nama tauhid (portrayed by Fahri & Aisha). Bukan senang untuk seorang isteri untuk membiarkan suaminya berkahwin dua melainkan atas kecintaannya kepada Allah dalam membantu dan memenuhi hajat saudaranya (portrayed by Aisha & Maria).

Much to my dissapoinment, it's hard to find this kind of people nowadays. Keinginan dan cinta bagaikan tidak dapat dibezakan. Maka timbul lah hubungan intim antara bukan mahram seperti mana yang kita lihat di shopping malls yang semakin berleluasa. Saya ada seorang rakan berbangsa Indonesia yang menetap di US, dan dia berasa terkejut melihat perubahan sosial yang berlaku di negaranya Indonesia. Lelaki dan perempuan berpelukan seperti halal & haram tidak pernah wujud dalam kamus diri mereka. (Dalam hati saya berkata) Di Malaysia pun begitu, tidak ada bezanya, sosial anak muda sudah pun semakin teruk. Tidak perlu menunding jari kepada anak muda sahaja, anak tua pun perangainya sama. Tidak salah untuk bergaul, cuma ada batas-batasnya.

Sekiranya menjaga batas-batas hubungan sesama manusia pun kita tidak mampu, bagaimana pula hendak menjaga hubungan kita dengan Allah? Renungkanlah

Anyway... I'm just writing to say I really like the movie. Ayat-ayat Cinta, 4 out of 5!!!

[Music = Haram] ?

2008-10-08T07:55:00.000-07:00

Muzik telah menjadi "the it thing" kepada manusia bukan baru sedekad dua, malah sudah berabad lamanya. Kita pasti kenal nama-nama hebat seperti Ludwig V. Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach & ~~Nik Mohd Daniel~~ yang telah menjadi tokoh karyawan muzik beberapa abad yang lalu. Revolusi muzik berlaku dengan pantas sehinggakan pada masa kini terdapat puluhan genre dan ratusan sub-genre muzik yang menjadi kegilaan para remaja terutamanya, seperti world music, rock, ballad, R&B, reggae, dangdut?? dan yang terbaru hip hop. Namun, muzik bukan lagi hanya sekadar hiburan semata-mata, malah dikatakan telah menjadi sebahagian daripada keperluan hidup kita.

Teringat waktu ketika saya belajar di Vandy dahulu di mana iPod 30G berwarna putih inilah yang menjadi kekasih setia yang menemani saya ke kelas setiap hari ("rakan perempuan" yang setia menemani pun ada juga...?!!?, jk LOL a bit of joke don't hurt aite?) . Terus saya berfikir, adakah muzik haram disisi Islam? Adakah lagu T.I "Dead & Gone" dari album terbarunya "Paper Trail" yang tengah saya dengar menggunakan headphones AKG K26P ini haram didengar (sangat spesifik sekali). Ada yang kata, "Nasyid OK la", dan ada pula yang berkata muzik ini memang haram!

Saya terbaca sebuah article yang mengatakan Al Ghazali telah menukilkan sebuah madah “Muzik ibarat tahi lalat di muka, ia kelihatan manis tetapi jika terlalu banyak tahi lalat ia akan membuatkan muka jadi hodoh”. Menurut Ust Zahazan pula (Pensyarah Jabatan Bahasa Al-Quran, UIAM), Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi dan juga fatwa Majlis Fatwa Kebangsaan telah menetapkan bahawa semua lagu itu sifat asalnya harus didengar.

Dr. Yusuf Qaradawi walaubagaimanapun telah menggariskan empat sebab lagu atau muzik itu menjadi haram:

Melanggar tatasusila Islam
Menyanyi atau menyampaikannya dalam bentuk syahwat & berlenggang lenggok
Jangan nyanyian atau hiburan itu meninggalkan tanggungjawab utama seperti solat
Jangan disertai oleh benda haram seperti arak dan pergaulan bebas lelaki dan perempuan yang bukan mahram

Ustaz Zahazan juga menyatakan, "Lagu yang diharuskan tidak semestinya nasyid sahaja. Ada banyak lagu yang liriknya bagus seperti mengajak masyarakat cintakan negara, hormat pada ibu bapa dan lagu-lagu puisi untuk menyedarkan masyarakat. Semua ini boleh kita dengar. Cuma eloklah kita berpada-pada".

Saya pula berpendapat hiburan ini bagaikan sebuah rumah, jika dilihat secara kesuluruhan, cantik rupanya. Jika dilihat di bahagian ruang tamu, kemas nampaknya. Namun jika dilihat di bahagian tandas kurang eloknya. Bahkan sekiranya terlalu banyak tandas, kuranglah seri rumah itu. Bererti, hiburan ini besar dan menghiburkan, sekiranya salah pilih ataupun keterlaluan, ia boleh membawa kepada kelalaian dan mati hati. Maka berhati-hati dan berpada-padalah. Wallahu a'lam.

Music is sound and silent organized in time and there is no noise in the world, except SOUND that can be turned into music

Hiburkanlah telinga anda dengan dendangan daripada Azhan Atan, Juara Akademi Nasyid (A very good rendition of Jamal's Kekasih Awal dan Akhir by Azhan)

2008-09-19T01:01:00.001-07:00

"Ya Allah yang Maha Berkuasa
Ramadhan sudahpun meningkat usia
Namun aku masih lalai & lupa
Hari-hariku ku habiskan mencari yang sementara
Sedangkan yang kekal dipandang sebelah mata

Ya Allah yang Maha Terpuji
Hari ini ku ingat besokkan lupa kembali
Esok petang ku ingat lusakan lupa kembali
Malunya aku pada kesombongan hati
Apatah lagi pada kurangnya amalan diri

Ya Allah Penerima segala taubat
Pohon petunjuk jauhi yang sesat
Pohon kesenangan dunia dan akhirat
Andai kata yang silap ku buat
Pohon maaf ku telah khianat

Ya Allah yang Maha Mendengar
Curahkan rahmatMu ke atas aku dan keluargaku agar
Kami semua dibebaskan dari seksa an-Naar
Curahkan rahmatMu ke atas guru dan sahabatku agar
Mereka semua dibebaskan dari seksa an-Naar
Curahkan rahmatMu ke atas seluruh Muslimeen & Muslimaat agar
Kami semua dibebaskan dari fitnah ad-Dajjal & keperitan an-Naar

Semoga Engkau menerima taubat dan rintihanku ini kerna aku yakin pada janjiMu;

Dan Tuhan kamu berfirman: Berdoalah kamu kepada-Ku nescaya Aku perkenankan doa permohonan kamu. Sesungguhnya orang-orang yang sombong takbur daripada beribadat (berdoa kepada-Ku) akan masuk neraka jahanam dalam keadaan hina (surah Ghafir: 60).

Dan dari Nabi;

Tiada seorang muslim yang berdoa dengan suatu doa yang tiada dalamnya dosa, atau memutuskan silaturahim melainkan Allah akan memberikan kepadanya salah satu dari tiga perkara: sama ada disegerakan kemakbulan atau disimpan untuk diberikan pada hari akhirat, ataupun dijauhkan keburukan yang sepadan dengannya. (Riwayat Ahmad, al-Bazzar dan Abu Ya‘la dengan sanad yang sahih).

Aku akan terus beramal dan memohon keredhaanMu Ya Allah. Kerna jauh di benak fikiran sedarku, aku tahu aku tidak mampu kesyurgaMu hanya dengan amalku. Maka sesungguhnya, ku sangatlah berharap pada redhaMu."

Worst Day Ever (WARNING NASTY)

2008-09-17T00:50:00.000-07:00

Salaam guys,

I went to the Twin Tower Medical Centre this morning for a medical check up. I gots to have it before being appointed as Petronas employee. But, it turned out to be the most embarrassing day ever, for ever ever, ever ever (mmm~ I sound like Kanye in "Diamonds From Sierra Leone") lulz! It happened in the restroom located specifically north-west of the information counter.

I was asked for a urine sample and here goes the rest of the story;

Warning (*12sx*)

"Encik, sila ikut saya ke tandas di hujung sana"

"Ok, jom"

He opened the restroom door for me.

"Terima kasih. Saya masuk ya, kejap lagi saya keluar balik"

"Oh tak, saya masuk skali"

"Takkan nk masuk skali? Tandas untuk sorang jer nie??

The male nurse made a smiley face

Chang Chang Chang ... (Panic-like background music)

I began to freak out realizing the male nurse is a lil bit sissy, not that sissy but still! All kinds of things went through my mind especially... OK, let's skip that part.

I was like "OMG, what the freakin' banana!!!! Takkan nak tunggu kat dalam kot?"

"Mintak maaf, ini ialah procedure dari Petronas untuk mengelakkan penipuan. Saya kena escort di sebelah Encik sampai selesai"

Fortunately, "the process" went smoothly whithout any [fill in your own words here]

Have you ever had someone standing next to you without any deviders, blinds or anything in between when you are doing the "finding-natural-peace" process? Well it wasn't funny, but I laughed non the less. I guess, it is what it is man! lulz

So for those who want to apply for Petronas, ya better GET READY for it might happen to you too!!! Chang Chang Chang.... (that panic-like background music strikes again!!!)

~ThE EnD~

:: btw, I told the story not only to put a smile on people's face, but for me and you to THINK about! If you feel embarrassed when somebody's looking at you shi shi-ing, how come we're not feeling the same way when we know Allah is looking at us, and still, we commit maksiat? Think about it....

Assalamualaikum,

Terutama sekali kepada rakan-rakan seperjuangan di Vandy. Setelah berpuasa hampir setengah bulan di Malaysia, rindu pula rasanya kemeriahan meraikan Ramadhan di US, walaupun serba kekurangan dari segi juadah berbuka puasa (applies to kaum lelaki sahaja). Namun Nasi Arab di masjid tidak kurang hebatnya. Sedapnya nasi itu sehinggakan pinggan rasanya macam bocor, tau2 dah habis. Tak ker gitu Baba? (Selaku wakil Hero berbuka puasa).

Kalau di rumah ni, selepas menunaikan solat Isya' dan Terawikh, tibalah masanya untuk more (mue.ray). Baru sahaja semalam, kami sekeluarga menikmati kuih Akok & Pengat Pisang sebagai juadah more malah kelmarin pula Yong Tau Fu. Saya biasa panggilnya Leong Tau Fu, or to make it worst Hong Leong Tau Fu yang dibeli di bazaar Ramadhan. Sangat sedap!!!

Kuih Akok & Pengat Pisang

Walaubagaimanapun, di Vandy dahulu mewray tetap menarik. Setiap malam confirm pergi Starbucks and pekena sket Frappuccino, itu lah penyebab kenaikan berat badan saya ini. Siapa yang perlu disalahkan? Adakah rakan-rakan yang mengajak pergi ataupun diri sendiri?

Masa berlalu dengan pantas, tapi Alhamdulillah Allah telah memberikan kesempatan kepada saya tahun ini untuk berpuasa penuh dan beraya di KL bersama keluarga insyaAllah setelah 4 tahun tidak berpuasa dan beraya di Malaysia. Kalau berpuasa di Kerteh bagaimana rasanya? Mesti tidak seseronok di rumah.

Semoga kita semua diberi rahmat oleh Allah di bulan Ramadhan ini dan diampuni segala dosa kita, dan dipertemukan kita lagi dengan ramadhan yang akan datang. Banyakkanlah amal soleh.

Keluarga & rakan-rakan, Selamat Berpuasa.

Assalamualaikum, como estas

Alhamdulillah, it's been a dream of mine to have a weblog. "Ka-damn"ly, I'm not the type that like to write nor tell story using written words... I'm tryna say here that I hate reading & writing, just so you know. This morning alone I took a bath 3 times, talking (motivating) to myself infront of a mirror for 43 minutes, and did an awesome backflip just to encourage myself to write a blog. Coz for the sake of professional-look, I gots to have one!!

Hopefully this blog will be a place for us to share ideas and get fed with entries of good commentaries. I don't want to label get2know-ledge as a personal blog, for I'm gonna use it for business purposes / corporate blog. Since I'm not good in writing, I'ma stop now.

So guys, friends, sifu, old-timers, please show me some love & sila beri tunjuk ajar. As Sathiya said in Pi Mai Pi Mai Tang Tu:

Ambil galah tolong jolokkan;
Saya budak baru belajar,
