容忍的人其實並不笨, 只是寧可對自己殘忍

Finally, I have finished all the projects and presentations which drove me crazy.. Now, I can sleep for more than 5 hours.. huuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh.. BIG relief.. Last week was a super duper busy week.. Each day due one long report..

Monday – Mechanical Design Process a.k.a MDP report (70 pages)
+ Sport and work place management report (25 pages) &
presentation (I like the presentation, we danced for the intro)

WednesdayThermofluid Lab final exam

ThursdayMDP presentation ( good comments from instructor )

Friday – Engineers in Society a.k.a EIS report (50 pages)

+ Technical Communication report ( 30 pages)

The most difficult report for me is the Technical Communication report because I was the only one who wrote the report while the other groups had at least one group member to help in the report (FYI, all the groups consist of minimum 5 persons).. My life was miserable because of my S _ _ _ group mates!!!

Although they did sent me the assigned tasks to me but the problem was they simply did the tasks.. I couldn’t put the tasks inside the report.. The same things returned to me again when I asked for correction.. I had NO choice at all.. I want to score the subject so I did it solely.. All the marks should belong to me!! 5 times more efforts than other classmates..

You may wonder why don’t I select my group mates.. Well, initially I was in a group which everyone in the group is willing to put in effort.. However, unfortunately, there were people in the class didn’t put effort to form a group.. (See they didn’t even try to form a group, how am I going to expect QUALITY outputs from them)..She dragged me out from the group and promised will take care of me and the group………………….......(sensitive here so censored out)..

To my group mates in TECB class: I want QUALITY output from you not GARGABE!!! If you didn’t do your part properly and correctly, bear in mind that someone else will need to do for it.. The report wouldn’t fall from the sky.. ( 容忍的人其實並不笨, 只是寧可對自己殘忍) I want to score but have no choice to do it on my own..

In my opinion, I think the same thing is happening to some groups also.. ( Land slide, ok? =P) The TECB class should allow students to choose their own group because there are people who are willing to put in effort while some are not.. If you put them together, the lazy bump will get a free ride.. If there are no multi-races groups, I bet………………………………

Below are some of the examples:

''Once a source of drinking water, many rivers in Malaysia have become dumping grounds for various types of hazardous wastes. Of all natural resources.''
I thought International students are good and hardworking.. I don't know what you are writing.. If you want to cut and paste, at least make it to be perfect.. Whenever you couldn't meet the deadline you just came to me and said sorry, you have tests (well, only you have test) bla bla bla then sorry and bye.. Can I say the same thing to our lecturer???? Well, you need to plan your time wisely and be responsible.. I have not very good (sounds nicer) / _ a _ impression on International students..

''was conducted on February 17, 2009 at MPKj. We had taken about 8 weeks to complete this long report and had spent about RM 50 for transportation and printings.''
This sentence is under the scope of research in the report.. Well, for academic writing, readers would not want to know how much we spent on transportation and printings.. Besides, there is ''we'' in the sentence.. I had told her not to put I, We and Our in the report.. BIG SIGH.. No choice but have to do her part..

Mechanical Design Process (^^)V

For the MDP project (spent 12 weeks), I can say that my group did very well!! Thank you for your hard work to my group mate Mr. Chun Hong a.k.a ah chan.. (PS, he was with me all the time doing the project) Without you, our group will not succeed.. Our group was designing an electrical automatic car jack system..

The prototype of the electrical automatic car jack system..



Spent 4 hours to derive this equation.. Proud of it.. =)

Below are the optimization done on the design..

The initial safety factor is too high which means the design is too safe.. Material can be saved from the design..

Cost that have been saved for one mounting head is RM0.10..
If the mounting head is to be produced for 1 million units then RM 100,000 ( house or car) can be saved!

Proud to be an engineer!!
