White Power?

Notice the difference?



Who says rocking them whites ain't hot?

Go spidey!

Magician at his best

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!!!!

Making a comeback

G A M B ANG R E S O R T

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


Feeding them horses...


It feels good to be a winner

At least, it wasn't a boring weekend.

Si kAncil

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

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

Feel Like Eating Arabian

Kabsah... Kabsah... Kabsah... A great food indeed and what a great night that was with all the jokes and laughing. There were like 30 of us eating and hangin' out... most of of them are Izni's frens I guess. Nazriq, Hafiz and a few other Vandy guys were there as well. Al-Rawsha, well not the best Arab place that I've been to, but MasyaAllah brother (say it in arabic-like tounge) GOOD enough to remedize my tastebuds with all the spices and heat. Talkin' bout heat, I sweated alot in my new shirt... shouldn't wear it in the very first place, cis!! sigh~

And yeah thanks to Nabilah for the errrmmm..... I don't know what's the food called. Anyway thanks a lot Nabilon!!!! But hey the drinks were on me??? aint it??? I reserve my thanx then LOL..... Nabilah jom lepak lagi, I got 3 more weeks of cuti bergaji!!!

It was a fun nite nonetheless =) Baba time kasih la for the ride... esok pick up aku lagi. Janji melayu xper jangan janji pak itam sudah haha.


First time meeting them Nori & Hero

MSDS of Women

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 =)

Scandalous Me

Being at home for 3 weeks with no car and literally no leg sure is boring. So I decided to cover Aku Scandal by Hujan, since that's pretty much the thing that I can do for now. Btw it wasn't really well played... the strings are becoming harder and splintering and hurts my finger so bad whenever I play it. I guess it's time for new strings!!! =)



Aku Scandal Bass Cover, Hujan

External bass by me!
